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!

CHALLENGE #10 Scripted Mystery Scramble- Now that you have the fan base, it's time to give them something to cheer about, with this week's challenge Scripted Mystery Scramble!

Your challenge is to compose the next great scripted mystery! *click* Er... ummm that is to say... the introduction to a scripted mystery! I assure you that none of the contestants have found my secret base and have threatened bodily harm should I make any more soul crushing challenges.

Your task is to write an introduction for what promises to be a great scripted mystery. Remember that your goal is to make the player want to play the mystery. This is your chance to step outside of the conventions of the traditional mystery, how are you going to do it? You may also include crime scene text, but this is entirely optional.

1. You have no word or post limit.
2. Including a crime scene is not required, but you may do so if you feel that it adds to the elements of your writing.
3. Your intro should target the largest demographic possible. How you do that is up to you.

Entrants should send their entries to the SleuthNoirSurvivor@gmail.com e-mail address by 23:59 SST on February 8, 2010.

And the big twist for this challenge and the next????

You will be judged by a panel of former contestants! Who are they? Well you'll find out soon enough.

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

;)

Nah, just kidding. I'll break your toes instead. :D

*looks around at the remaining contestants*

What are the chances that the four of us end up with the biggest writing contest of the game and set against one another?

This will be a cutthroat one indeed!

To clarify, the above is merely a referendum and does not count towards this week's contest.
