We can't wait to see what challenges and riddles they put together for us to solve. There will be prizes for top 3 & forum badges for the winners!

Welcome to MAN HUNT!!!
I'll quickly go over how man hunt goes.
Man Hunt is a game of hiding where one person ((co-)host) hides, gives out clues and other people go on the hunt to find him.
On previous Man Hunts, we tried to keep all the locations quest-free. By doing that we limit ourselves each time, therefore, you should be aware that quest areas could be used this time around. If you choose to bring your hardcore iron account to this hunt, we are not responsible for its status.
It goes as followed:
1. Form teams
Teams will consist of 4 people each. Pre-made teams are ALLOWED. For anyone not in a team, we will be drafting teams in World 512 race style!
You will use your captains cc and/or discord to communicate with your team members.
2. Check Site for Clues (link will be found right before the event)
After teams have been formed, the hosts/co-hosts will go into the hiding spot and reveal clues here on the Forums.
3. Find the Hidden Man
Find the Hidden man with help of the clue(s) you're given. You have about 10 minutes to find the hidden man.
4. Wait until more people arrive
We are working with a point system: first place receives more points than second, second more than third etc..
5. Back to Step #2
Repeat the process after teams have found the Hidden Man.
After 8 locations have been found everyone will come together in BA lobby. The hosts/co-hosts will announce the winning teams. They will receive a prize and badge on the Forums!
Now that we've covered what man hunt is, let the sign up begin!
This section is only required if you have a (partially) PRE-MADE TEAM
Teams will be capped at 4 players to make it fair for each team.
This means you can sign up with up to 3 others if you'd like to be in a team with those people, make sure they're also wanting to be on your team beforehand!
If you only got one friend willing to partner up with you, no worries! You can fill your team right before the events starts when others are drafting teams.
Captains of the teams should be able to be on discord during Man Hunt in order to get updates on when new clues or locations are being posted (not voice). They will be responsible for updating the team on clues on the site.
BEFORE you sign up:
Make sure your team or at least 3 out of the 4 people can make it until the end. Man Hunt lasts about two hours! (Saturday, December 7th, 19 (7 PM) UTC)
Please use this format when signing up (either on a post here or DM one of the hosts on discord):

PvM
After Man Hunt, to conclude the day, we will host your most favorite PvM event!
You can find the poll during that week in #event-info.
Tournament Race
Our last tournament was a success considering the circumstances, let's hopefully get some decent servers this time, as we want to re-do the same tournament (with different teams)! Starting at @ 19 UTC, World TBA, we will draft teams at Wave 1. This highly competitive event will have at most 14 teams competing - first two rounds will be in a pool play and, then, in bracketed rounds until one team has secured victory in the championship round. Again we need YOUR help to hit that goal of 14 teams. Prize money and forum badges WILL be awarded.

Community Awards / Drop Party
Every six months, the CBA community votes on community awards. Refer to the beginning of this thread for the award categories and submit your votes HERE. We will read the results of the awards live on stream. Tune in at www.twitch.tv/casualba. To conclude this portion of the event, there also will be a small Drop Party fully funded by Stars. We will NOT be accepting donations. Save them for the 4th Anniversary Event.
Sunday Races
To close our Summer Kick-Off Event, we will humbly host our normal 4-round installation of Sunday Races for anyone who is still has the energy to go the distance with us.
