Prizes provided by: 1. FadedOasis 2. Heller 3. Doctor Wheeze 4. Vultanphase | Welcome to The Hunt! ...for Achievements. Here's how this version of the game works. (If you're new, start from here. If you played in last game, see bottom for a changelog.)
Core Game: Each player gets sent, in private, the names of two people. Those are their marks. If, while playing on MKWEA, you dominate one of your marks, take a screenshot of the scoreboard, upload it to imgur or steam community, and post a link to it in this thread. If you successfully do all that, you will get one point and will be assigned a new mark. (If you are immediately killed, and your opponent gets revenge, you may take a screenshot of the kill notifications. You may NOT screenshot the kill notices unless this happens.)
Accusations: If you dominate someone who you think is hunting you, you can accuse them by taking a screenshot and posting it, and clearly label that you are accusing them. (You can kill and accuse in the same screenshot.) If they are hunting you, you get a point, and they will be assigned a new mark. Oh god, I can't escape all these rules lines. Help. If you guess wrong, and they aren't hunting you, you are forbidden from making any more accusations for a six days. You CAN accuse someone who isn't playing.
Requesting a new mark: If you find hunting your mark to be difficult, you may publicly request a new mark. Your mark will have one day (the start of the next day, plus 24 hours) to dominate you. If they don't, you get a new mark to replace them and you can't request a new mark for six days. (If they do dominate you, you still get a new mark.)
Daily game updates: This thread will probably be checked multiple times per day, but game updates will occur EXACTLY ONCE each day, at around 7pm Mountain Time. If you get a new mark early, please don't hunt them down until after 7pm. Time is approximate and may be earlier or later in the day. :-)
Idle and Phasing Out: If you do not kill, die, accuse, be accused, have a new mark request fulfilled or unlock an achievement within six days, you will lose 1 point and be automatically phased out of the game. You must post in this thread to join in again.
Mark distribution will be weighted by score. The more points you have, the more people will hunt you. Probably. There will still be an element of randomness in mark assignments.
This season of The Hunt will begin on Wednesday, April 18th end on Friday May 18th, at 7pm. There are prizes listed to the left. Prize draft is as follows: First place, Second place, First place, Third place, Fourth place. (The player with the most points gets two prizes.)
Changes from last season, and important reminders: * There are Achievements now! * You must kill, die, unlock an achievement, accuse, or be accused within six days. * You may still accuse players who aren't playing. * When requesting a new mark, your mark has one day to kill you. If they don't, you get a new mark to replace them and you can't request a new mark for six days. * On the scoreboard, red coloring means "Four or more days idle", and six days gets you phased out. * Game updates now occur around 7pm Mountain instead of 12pm Eastern. * Mark distributions are still more strongly weighted toward players with higher scores. * Prize draft will be: 1st place, 2nd, 1st, 3rd, 4th.
FAQ: *What do achievements do? A: Achievements are special objectives in addition to killing your mark or hunter. Unlocking an achievement gets the reward listed. *What is the difference between "Global" and "Individual" Achievements? A: Global Achievements unlock the first time the criteria are met. Individual achievements will be unlocked for a given player when that player meets the criteria for the first time. *Does each player have the same Individual Achievements? A: Yes. All Achievements are listed on the scoreboard. *Can I earn the same Achievement more than once? A: Nope. *How do I unlock an Achievement? A: That's a very good question! *Do I have to unlock Achievements to win? A: Not at all! At the core, the game is still the same Hunt! we're all used to. Achievements just provide some variety. If you just focus on dominating your marks, and accusing your hunters, you've got as good a shot as anyone. You might even unlock some Achievements without even trying. *What's this about "extra" marks or hunters? A: Some game events may cause you to be granted an extra mark or an extra hunter. These marks will be treated normally; dominating your extra mark or accusing your extra hunter each scores one point. One key difference, though, is that extra marks cannot be replaced. Once you have an extra, it lasts until someone scores a point as a result, and then it's done. *What's a cooldown? A: The accuse timer, idle timer or request new mark timer. *I forgot to sign up, and the game has already started. Can I still participate? A: Absolutely! Contact me via PM, and make a post in the thread, and you will be phased in the next game day. *Are there any hidden achievements? A: No. Anything that has an impact on gameplay is listed in the sidebar. In the interest of full disclosure, there is one unlisted effect on a single achievement, included so as to avoid penalizing players for unlocking that achievement. When or if it comes up, that effect will be explicitly noted.

Achievement Unlocked: Begin the Hunt!
The game starts NOW! Make sure to read the rules post if necessary, especially the FAQ. Also note that the idle rules have been clarified. Unlocking an achievement counts towards not being idle. This was always the intention, but it was ambiguous in the rules as I originally wrote them.

Man, I had two people hunting me dominated in that shot. The only good news is, whichever I chose, I was right.

Dear Mr. Highwater, Enclosed is proof that I held my end of our deal. "The Church" has been disposed of quite elegantly. I am eagerly awaiting the remaining $75,000 of the $100,000 we agreed upon. You may deposit it in the same location we discussed earlier. It was a pleasure doing business with you. -"Mirage"

As usual, I have grossly overestimated my amount of free time. I am hereby declaring myself phased out. Many apologies to my hunters.

Scrambles has unlocked a special mid-day update!
Scrambles has been phased out. Any players hunting him may post to this thread to request a new mark without penalty. The mark will be given out on the next game day. (So, if you post today, you'll get your new marks tomorrow.)
