Do you have what it takes to outlast all others? Do you think you can rise above the rest and stand out as the ultimate contender? Welcome Ladies and Gentlemen to Survivor: Sleuthville!

10 Detectives enter, face off against each other in a different challenge every week, and the last left standing will be crowned Sleuth Noir Survivor! The winner will walk away with a one-year subscription to Sleuth Noir and bragging rights over the entire community. The rules are simple:

1. The first ten Detectives to post an entry will be entered and placed on two teams of five.

2. It's advisable to be subscribed. Some of the challenges may require travel, and if you can't participate, it's likely your team will vote you off at elimination. I won't bar anyone based on this, but it's your call.

3. The losing team at the end of each event will have to vote off one member. To do that each team member will submit a PM to me, which will remain anonymous with the name of the person he or she is voting for, and a short reason why. It can be as simple as-

Name: Heimlich VonVictor
Why: He didn't write any of the poem. It's no wonder we lost!

4. Challenges will be one week long and a winner will be announced at the end, in the event of a tie, a coin will be flipped.

5. Anyone may enter including mods, editors, or even Ben and Sunny themselves if they so choose.

6. The contest will begin when all ten detectives have entered and been placed on teams. It will conclude after nine weeks of elimination challenges.

That's all! Get out there and outwit, outplay, and outlast!

Six sidekicks gained in a week! Wow! Great job everyone! And I can't even imagine all the new and never subscribed people who were contacted this week, either! Keep up the great work everyone!

This truly is helping the game, Heimlich- great idea!

Now... about that clue... *starts puzzling over it and getting wrinkles*

Many apologies, RL work was getting a bit crazy (5 meetings today), but anyhow I believe the clue is better and would've chosen that myself. Lenape, I have received the clue and believe you have as well.

Ctown once said "While we are here to win the challenge, lets also remember our goal to improve and enlarge the community." It is wise and put us in the right perspective. So, the biggest congratulations is to Sleuth Noir!!

Well girls and boys the votes have been tallied. Once again it wasn’t unanimous, but we have reached a majority. The main reasons that this person was voted off were a lack of communication with other tribe members and not being present at team meetings. That being said, at least one of your tribe mates felt very badly about voting for you. Valentina D'Angeli, after tallying up the votes we have decided you don’t have to go home, but you can’t stay here. This one’s for you.

You wanted to quit in the beginning, but you didn’t. You hung in there and proved yourself to be a worthy competitor. Unfortunately, your time on the island has come to an end. Tina, the tribe has spoken.

CHALLENGE #3- Beg, Borrow, & Steal

So you’ve learned to bring newbies in and make them your sidekicks. Sounds like you’ve got everything all set don’t you? Wrong! Time to make a reputation for yourself! How else do you ever expect to get hired? Rumor has it that there are so many unsolved murders in Sleuthville that all you have to do is request a case and you’ll be on one! They’ve even taken to putting them in categories of difficulty. You heard right. Instead of solving the cases, the police have started ranking them on how hard they are to solve!

Your next challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to solve as many cases as you can within the next week. The team that solves the most combined cases will be the winner! Remember that not everyone is on equal footing when it comes to cases, and therein lays our title. It’s time to beg, borrow, and steal as many cases as you can to try to get to the top of the weekly high score board! Every participant is required to take a screenshot of their detective screen at the start of the challenge with the number of cases solved and send the screenshot to Sleuthnoirsurvivor@gmail.com

Instructions on taking a screenshot:

When the challenge is finished, every participant will once again take a screenshot of their detective page with the number of solved cases and e-mail the image to the above address.

If you really don’t want to do this, that’s fine, but you must get on the weekly high score board in order for your cases to count. If you do not document your cases and do not get on the board, your weekly cases will be counted as 0.

I will be checking your numbers against the weekly high score board to keep everyone honest ;) While I don’t feel it will be a problem, if I find that you falsified your image (and I will find out) your cases will be counted as 0. This challenge will end at 19:00 on October 28, 2009.

Reward: The contestant who solves the most cases will receive a vote token. This token may be used in any week’s elimination with the exception of Week 12. The token is good for the addition or subtraction of one vote from any fellow tribe member, or the holder, during any elimination in which the holder is participating. It may only be used once.

Lenapes, please inform us which two of your tribe members will be benched for this challenge. Ms Helen may not be benched again.

Good luck teams! Get out there and outwit, outplay, and outlast!

A bit late but a big congrats to my fellow teammates you were wonderful. And a shame to the comanche team. As mentioned above this was about getting new players to join Sleuth and obviously both teams succeeded.

For this weeks challenge......Heim I hate you, I've played about 4 cases in the last 3 months now I actually have to do them :s

Irene looks terrified on Heimlich.
In her heart she wonders: "Does this man know what he is talking about? Does this man know what it takes, how much time it takes to win a challenge like this?"
Then Irene starts shivering.... She starts to sob, and cries again...
"I don't have time for this now, I don't want to die....It's so unfair. I did not even ask to be in this contest....I am not prepared. I am not prepared to die now....What have I done wrong to deserve having this kind of curse on my neck?"

The Ghost comes to assist her, and says: "You probably just have to open up for anyone?"

"Shhh Irene says, it's not prepared and finished yet, I was not going to tell it public like this. At least not yet. Besides, do you remember how much turmoil it was last time?" Irene shudders.... and tries to leave unseen for at least some moment of rest before the mountain of work laying in front of her...

Vulkie will be the other Lenape to be benched this week! Good luck all.

I would also like to reiterate Ms Helens sentiments. What do you mean we actually have to do cases this week? :-P
