Putting the ‘ban’ back in ‘urban’ since 2006… but not really…
WHEN: The BIGGEST MANHUNT EVER (in 2008, so far)
WHEN: April 26, 5pm (not this Saturday, but the next one)
WHERE: Carré St-Louis (home game!)
Are y’all ready for the most manhuntiest manhunt in manhunt history? The most mind-gaming, person-chasing, orange arm band-blazing pandemonium to ever hit the streets of Montreal?
… no, you probably aren’t… but you can come anyway.
You, and all your friends, are personally invited to join one of the most … how about “ruckusorious” (it’s a word now!) events in Montreal – The largest manhunt EVER (in 2008, so far). The game will be held in the lower plateau on April 26th at 5pm – we’ll be meeting in front of the gazebo in Carré St-Louis right across from Sherbrooke metro, right where manhunt began. There will probably even be a CTV crew coming by to film (for riilzzz!!), so look for the cameras and the orange armbands, and be ready to hunt like you’ve never hunted before… well unless you’ve played before in which case be ready to hunt like you did that time… only more!
And this week only – winners will receive a firm handshake and pat on the back if so desired. Ok, maybe this happens everyweek, but this time it will be with *love* 
(I’ll be sending out another invite closer to the 26th to remind everyone)
One last thing before we go – would anyone else be into making some t-shirts? I was thinking something orange (of course!), with maybe our logo? Anyone who’s into it let me know and maybe we can throw some ideas around. We can probably also get a pretty good price if we’re a bunch of people.
Until then, happy huntin’

Where: McGill Milton Gates – University and Milton
When: Saturday, April 12, 17h00
Why: BECAUSE WE CAN
Apologies, hunters, for the late invite, but gods of academe have been relentless with me over the past little while, performing acts which, if described herein, would give this letter an R rating for violence AND sexual acts…. However, this will not stop the hunt!
We will be gathering at the Milton Gates for a McGill Ghetto game – if only to show the very gods who have wronged me what we think of their world. Come students, ex-students, professors, and deans to run and hunt each other down like freshman as we say farewell to the classes that have haunted so many over the years past!
Happy Huntin!
-The peeps.

***PADDY’S DAY MANHUNT***
Sunday, March 16th
11:00 AM (you can do it!)
Meeting point: Rene-Levesque & Crescent
Boundaries: Rene-Levesque to Ste-Catherine, Bishop to de la Montagne
Beware Hunters,
There is madness on the streets, and St Patrick is trying to drive us away with the snakes, using floats and whiskey along with his (bag)pipes to do the trick. Amongst ourselves however, there is a greater danger, as we begin the hunt once more in 6foot snowdrifts and nothing to warm our bellies but sweet sweet alcohol, and mortal terror.
Once again we shall adorn the familiar orange, we meet on Rene-Levesque & Crescent, right before the parade. I, LePhil, shall be your host, and the games will begin sharply(unlikely) at 11am. Bring some refreshments, your lovely selves, winter gear, and above all: your friends and sense of fun!
Good hunting,
LePhil

Happy Winter hunters!
I have some good news and some bad news… and some news… that’s really neither good nor bad.
The good news:
(1) As St Patty’s day approaches, we’re getting closer and closer to our season opening! As tradition dictates, on the day of St Patrick, patron saint of Ireland and manhunting, we’ll dust off the running shoes that have sat in our closets all winter, fill a flask of whisky, and combine two of the greatest things in this world: Chasing people and drinking alcohol. If we’re successful, we’ll then moving on chasing alcohol and drinking people.
… … … Manhunt does not condone drinking people….
(2) To practise for the season, and to get our of the cold a little bit, our good friend Robyn (yea!!!!) has organizied an underground city scavanger hunt:
WHEN: Saturday, Feb. 9, 3pm-5pm
WHERE: Top floor (Niveau Cinéma) of the Eaton Centre, McGill metro
HOW: Sign in when you arrive at the checkpoint with your team name and members (up to three). This is a free, all ages event
DA RULES:
Do not leave the underground city. You are using the honor system.
You will need:
a bag
a bit of money (no more than 5$)
something to take pictures with (a camera phone is OK)
something to tell time with
Time – You have from when we release you until 5:10 on the judges’ timepiece (official time). If your entire team is not back by then, only what has arrived will be counted.
Points will be awarded once per team for each item on the list brought to the finish.
Judges’ decisions are final
That’s actually it for now. I totally lied about the other news… …
Actually: This just in!! The Spice Girls tour has been cut short.

Because nothing’s scarier than…. Us.
When: Sat, Oct 27, 17h.
Where: Carre St Louis (Near the Ice Cream Stand)
Who: The ghost of manhunt past, manhunt present, and manhunt future… ooOOoo!!!
How: In costume, perhaps?
And finally, why:
Well there’s never really a good reason why, is there? But that doesn’t mean that manhunt is pointless – in fact this is your perfect opportunity to practise for Halloween night. You see, Halloween is about many things, but it’s mostly about running – running to catch up to the children, running away from he children with their candy, running from the cops who see you take the children’s candy, and finally, running home to eat the children’s candy. It only makes sense then that we should practice all together for this lovely family-oriented festivity through chasing each other down like ghost dogs….
Due to lack of response for the Oct 31st ManHaunt, we’ll have our Halloween edition on Saturday, as usual. This means that anyone who arrives in costume will get a free armband to use for the duration of the game! Be dressed as your favourite Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, or perhaps… um… I dunno… a cat. Oh, just don’t be a Ghostbuster – it’s so 2006.
Finally, due to later and later arrivals, the last one who gets there may be forced to be a hunter…. Mwahahahahahahaha!!!

Manhunt – thanksgiving edition.
When: Oct 13th – 1700 hours PM (5 o’clock 
)
Where: Notre Dame O. and McGill (NOT McGill College – check out the map.)
We may be a week late, but that doesn’t mean we can’t be thankful – and to show our thanks we shall chase each other down. I’m not sure what this is showing thanks for exactly, but I know I’m grateful!
As a further display of out thanks, bonus points will be awarded to anyone who comes dressed as a turkey. Even more – extra bonus points will be awarded to anyone who brings us a real turkey. Most of all – extra super mega bonus points will be awarded to anyone who brings is a cooked real turkey that we can eat…. Please note, there will be no bonus points awarded to anyone who brings us a cooked real turkey that we can’t eat, either because there isn’t enough for everyone to share or because it was cooked for thanksgiving and will be a week old and a little gross by the time we play… ew…
BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE!!!
The next hunt will be played on Oct 27th, which happens to be my sister’s birthday. But that’s not the point. The point is, we were wondering if anyone would be interested in playing a special edition ManHaunt on Halloween night (Oct 31) probably around 8ish. Please let us know (either message on facebook or email us at montreal.manhunt@gmail.com) If there isn’t enough interest, we’ll probably make the game on the 27th our Halloween edition, and extra super duper mega triple bonus points will be awarded to anyone who arrives in costume with candy
Take care,
Mikella

Where: Du Fort and Rene Levesque
When: Sat Sept 29th – **3:00 pm**
Why: Because ther is no better way to spend a Saturday..
So what have we learned so far this semester? That school sucks the life out of you. Ug.
As such, I think it’s time to get back *at* school (that is, instead of ‘to’ it) through the disrespect of turning a scholarly neighbourhood into the playing field of a game that appeals to nothing but the animal urge to run around an catch things. That’s right – instead of thinking about the required acceleration to meet or exceed the veolcity of the massive body which you’re trying to run towards or from, we’ll just do it in the Concordia ghetto…
BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE!!!
By playing earlier in the day, our great leader Amy can come and show us all who’s boss…. oh and y’all should call her by her new name – Craka’ Jack – she’ll love it 
See you there and happy huntin,
Mikella

When, where, who, how, etc: Sat, Sept 15, 5pm, Milton and University. Booya!
That’s right kids – it’s ‘back to school’ time, so we’ll be returning to one of our favourite huntin’ grounds this week – the McGill Ghetto. Don’t miss the chance to confuse all the students as we run around in ways that would have put a smile even on Nietzsche’s face, get caught in ways that only further validate Darwin, and try desperately try to find ways to prove Einstein wrong… the first one to break the speed of light will also win a super prize!! (Ok I’m lying – you’ll just win the game).
We’ll be meeting up inside the Milton gates at the corner of Milton and University (playing just outside, but it’s a good meeting spot). Bring your friends, bring your professors, bring your dogs, brings your dogs’ professors…. But not you dogs’ professors’ friends…. Dogs actually can’t play – we’ve covered this before….
See y’all there

When: Sat, Sept 1, 17h.
Where: Duluth and StDenis
What: The most laborious (without a “u”) way to celebrate the Labour Day weekend.
After a brief hiatus, during which I know you all were probably crying yourselves to sleep because I was gone… well I mean at least I was… I’m back! And by “I”, I of course mean Mike, not Mikella, because Mikella is always there. There is a story in fact:
One night a man had a dream. He dreamed
he was walking along the beach with Mikella.
Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.
For each scene he noticed two sets of
footprints in the sand: one belonging
to him, and the other to Mikella.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him,
he looked back at the footprints in the sand.
He noticed that many times along the path of
his life there was only one set of footprints.
This really bothered him and he
questioned Mikella about it.
Mikella responded:
“My precious child, I love you and I would never leave you.
However, it’s really not my problem if you can’t keep up with me and my mad manhuntin’ skizzizles!.”
Anyway – This Saturday, Sept 1 at 17h – be there or be… left in the sand. (Ouch. That was really bad, eh?)
