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!

-I am not too keen on having a Moderator be in charge of contests that are held. I think each individual that puts a contest on should be responsible and mature enough to take whatever criticism they get and the mods are there if things get out of hand.

-The Lenapes, incorporate a lot of great ideas, and without handing things to people. They people still have to work hard for what they want.

-I love [Lenape's] idea of sending out emails to all the vets/old players that have left. And it shouldn't be too hard for ben to send an automated email out, as everyone gives their email when signing up. This will, for a fact entice the oldies to come back and pop in and see the happenings of the game and who is still here and who is new.

-I do like the comanche idea that a mod should play social co-ordinator. [There] should at least be a bit of a plan about when comps are going to come up. Some sort of calendar.

- I'm particularly enamoured with the idea that someone should get off their ass and produce this newsletter.

-I think Lenapes generally came up with more, even if they have kind of cherry-picked the HLI thread.

Great ideas everyone! When I read the proposals, I even said that I'm glad I wasn't judging this week, because I absolutely loved both proposals. Comanche, please PM me your votes within 24 hours.

Stay tuned for a special announcement.

Welcome Comanche tribe to your fourth elimination. I was really hoping that you would be able to pull it off this week, but it looks like it was not to be. The votes have been tallied. The person who will leave the island tonight is... miss snopes.

miss snopes, it looks like you've fallen prey to our mysterious contestant kidnapper as well, and your fellow contestants noticed. We wish you the best and hope everything is alright. Miss snopes, the tribe has spoken, and it looks like you're being sent home. So we'll give you a little traveling music. This one's for you:

Special Announcement-

As many of our contestants (and my intended judges) are in America and going to be celebrating Thanksgiving next week, the contest will go on hiatus until Monday, November 30th. As it is the busiest travel time in America, I don't know how available our contestants will be. I also don't think it would be fair to make our judges work during time when they may have to prepare for the holiday.

To tide you over, and give everyone a big hint. I will reveal the name of the next challenge: Domum ex Domus

See you all on November 30th!

Excellent, as i'm moving this coming week and may not have access to internet readily. To our fellow American players, have an excellent holiday season, enjoy your time with family and friends, and generally relax don't stress yourselves too much! (yes, holiday season add at least 10% stress to your already stressful life) See y'all on November 30th!!

I would like to thank everyone for their prayers for my grandfather. It's greatly appreciated by myself and my family. My grandfather passed away at about 1:15 pm today. His children were there with him, and he said that he was ready.

Truthfully I'm grateful for the fact that he didn't suffer. He had bone cancer and his prognosis was not good. At best he was looking at four months of radiation therapy while the cancer got worse. God didn't let him suffer, and for this I am thankful.

Heim, I'm not very good with words, but I'm pretty good at listening.
Your grandfather is on my prayers, just like you and your family.
Count on me if there's anything, at all, that I can do.

Heim, my condolences to you and your family. This is not a easy time, but i am glad your grandpa passed away peacefully and didn't have to suffer much, and that his children and grandchildren were with him. Be strong. May your family bond and comfort one another at this time. Take care of your family and don't worry too much about sleuth for the time. Give us a shout if you need anything.
