Welcome to MAN HUNT!!!
Man Hunt is a hide-and-seek game where one person (host) hides and gives out clues for teams to go on the hunt to find him.
We’ve organized Man Hunts with various location restrictions and settled on a balance of areas that almost everyone should have unlocked for this Man Hunt. If you choose to bring your hardcore iron account to this hunt, we are not responsible for its status.
Man Hunt goes as follows:
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 325 race style!
You will use your captains cc and/or discord to communicate with your team members; voice channels can be used first-come first-serve, extras will be made for the event.
2. Check Site for Clues (link will be posted 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. As the clock ticks down, progressively easier clues will be given out.
3. Find the Hidden Host
Find the Hidden host with help of the clue(s) you're given. You have about 10 minutes to find them. Once you’re there, DD on them and say your team name to claim your find.
4. Wait until more people arrive
It’s a race to find the host. Earlier teams will get more points, so being quick and clever is key.
5. Back to Step #2
Repeat the process after either all teams have found the Hidden Host or the time for that location has run out.
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!
BEFORE you sign up:
Make sure at least 3 team members can make it through the entirety of the event. Man Hunt lasts for about two hours! (Saturday, June 12, 2020 (19 UTC))
Man Hunt Team Captains should be checking Discord during Man Hunt in order to get updates on when new clues or locations are being posted on the Forums. They will be responsible for updating the team on clues on the site.
This section is only required if you have a (partially) PRE-MADE TEAM
Please use this format when signing up (either on a post here or DM one of the hosts on discord):
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, but make sure you’re all in agreement beforehand! Joining multiple teams or team hopping mid-event is not allowed.
If you only have one friend or two friends available to partner up with you, no worries! You can fill your team right before the event starts during the draft.

Raids
After Man Hunt, to conclude the day, we will be hosting a raids mass.
Although it is not mandatory, we highly recommend bringing along your penance gear!
Tournament Race
We have a tournament race planned for all of you! Starting at @ 19 UTC, World TBA, we will draft teams at Wave 1. Just like regular races and funs, everyone with three level 5 roles is welcome. This highly competitive event will have up to 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.
Click the spoiler here to see an example of the Tournament with its pool play and brackets.
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 drop party funded by stars!
To all the iron-(wo)men in our cc: If you want to attend the drop party, please ask a star to swap your rank to your non-iron account.
Sunday Races
To close our Fourth (and a half) Anniversary event, we will host our normal installation of Sunday Races for anyone who still has the energy to go the distance with us.
Thank you for all the love and support you give us! Let's make this anniversary the best anniversary to date!
