Okay, still a little over 10 hours to go (I`ll stop accepting people around one hour before we start) and we have:

Hunters
Jonoth
Xemas
Sanxx
[Lhaa]
Kolos
Wocib

Runners
Kiqamu
Fimyuki
Dracaeon

The above are your character`s names, right? I`ll be sending Tells and Group Invites, so I need to know.

Both Runners and Hunters can choose to go to either of the two sewer entrances, it doesn`t matter which you start from. You`ll be met by a member of staff (either Kaisa or one of the others) and wait there until told to go. Runners set off first. If we still have three runners then the first three hunters enter the sewers after ten minutes. Then one more every ten minutes after.
I`ll adjust the rewards (upwards) to take into account the lower number of runners too.

We need more runners!  Some of us should advertise in-game.

Looks like it's getting close to start time...still time for another runner?  If so, Thoss will run.  If not no worries.

Kaisa hammers up a poster on the message board in Hydlaa.
Kaisa`s Run For The Money
Four hunters were set on the tails of four runners in the sewers beneath Hydlaa with six hours to complete their task. All but one runner was caught, Fimyuki winning one hundred and twenty circles as the only free runner at the end of the event, and Koios winning fourty circles for each of the three runners he tagged.
Keep your eyes out for future events where the stakes will be higher!


Thanks to everyone who took part...
Staff: Myself and Aiwendil.
Runners: Kiqamu, Fimyuki, Dracaeon and Thoss.
Hunters: Weluna, Jonoth, Koios and Sanxx.

Wocib and Xemmas, thanks for posting here anyway. Perhaps next time.

Dracaeon, Kiqamu and Thoss were all caught by Koios within the first half hour, while Fimyuki managed to stay undiscovered for the whole event.
All (but for Dracaeon who had to leave) gathered afterward in the tavern for drinks and a chat...Fimyuki and Koios both receiving their winnings of one hundred and twenty circles each.

Here we go again!!!

Stealth, cunning, greed and knowledge of Hydlaa`s sewers.
A game of hide-and-seek knee-deep in the effluent of the city.

After the success of last time: I, Kaisa Tuulod of the Red Crystal Organisation, will be holding this game again (on the 12th of July, from 1200 GMT) and seek participants for two roles...

Runners. Lots! You will be set loose within the sewers of Hydlaa with a simple aim: don't get caught for 6 hours (One Real-World hour). The longer you survive, the more money you earn. The prize money starts at zero and goes up by twenty circles every hour (Ten minutes). Get caught and you win nothing.

Hunters. I want ten individuals if possible. You will be responsible for hunting down and catching the runners. Catch a runner and you earn fourty circles. Initially five hunters will be released, another one every hour (ten minutes) after. (After catching a runner send Kaisa a Tell informing her of it.)

There will also be...
Guards. Three guards (already chosen) will prevent runners from leaving the sewers or going to a known hiding place (those in the know, know. Those who don`t, are blissfully ignorant and I hope they stay that way). Any runner leaving the sewers forfeits the game.

How to apply.
Post below stating that you want to be a Hunter or Runner. I`ll accept a few backups for all positions in case of last minute cancellations.

Who`s Who
I`ll edit in a list of the guards and the chosen runners and hunters, plus reserves, as names come in. Meet at either of the sewer entrances, preferably ten minutes before the event begins. Kaisa`ll be sending Group invites to the runners beforehand, and making contact with the hunters.

Tag
How do the hunters catch the runners, you ask?
Trade.
If you`re in range and can start a trade: you`ve tagged the runner and they`re out. Hunters: make a shortcut with both /trade and  /screenshot, and post the pic as soon as possible in this thread (please do so this time!). That way we know you got them, and that you could actually see the runner (not done through a wall, etc).


Communication
I`m doing all I can to prevent cheating, but there`s no way to stop Tells and Guild chat, so I can only allow it. Kaisa, all Runners and Guards will be in a Group, to keep track of the prize fund as it goes up. If  the Hunters also Group Kaisa keep in touch with a chosen Head Hunter as and when necessary.

Death, Crashes and the like
If a Runner dies, crashes out or has to log off: you forfeit the game.
If a Hunter or Guard dies, crashes out or has to log off: please get back ASAP.
Combat is not a part of this event. It takes place within the city and the law applies. Murders, assaults and the like will be reported to the city guard. Also send me a tell: the perpetrator will be removed from the event.

In addition, the use of the "Next Player" target shortcut can`t be helped. Consider it as the Hunter keeping their eyes, ears and nose open.


Plus the after-party will this time be held at the Red Crystal Den!

A blonde elf walks in and curiously reads all the previous posts.
After reading Jarexia's last comment, she jumps up and down with excitement.

That sounds great! I'd love to be one of the runners!! :D
12:00 pm GMT? Or 12 am GMT?
