Requirements to play the game: Must have at least 10,000 experience points and be an active member. Must be available for the next few weeks.

12 fortunate detectives will be brought together with the chance to win up to 100 grande (in sleuth money NOT real money. To be transferred to your detective's account at the end of the competition)

In order to win the money you will have to complete challenges as a team. However, there is one player called the mole, an operative I have hired to sabotage the game and decrease your winnings. At the end of each round each contestant will have to answer a series of questions relating to the challenges they have faced and about who they think is the mole. Whoever gets the least amount of the questions right will be eliminated from the competition. The mole cannot be eliminated from the competition since my operative will know all of the answers. When there are only three contestants remaining, the last quiz will be administered and the winner will be decided. The last one standing wins all the money.

So Chelsea, what's next?

I am still waiting on one more person, Arabella Parker, to take the quiz. Right now the lowest score is a 7 out of 20.

Mar-5-2007 23:43

and here I thought seven was my lucky number... :P

Sorry for holding up the game. My computer sucks, between the 15 minute load up time, the fact that it will not run anything anymore and waking up this morning to find out I could not use my keyboard because the keys on the left side would not work. I had to dig out my dinosaur of a keyboard because my new fancy (read: lots of $$$) one stopped typing the letters qwertasdfx.
ARGH!

Chelsea now has my answers (which are all probably wrong). So thanks everyone for waiting up for me.

Everyone shuffles into the room and take their seats around the circular table. Then the host Anderson Cooper enters.

"Before we begin, I would like to congratulate each and every one of you for your accomplishments so far. You successfully completed your first challenge. However, for one of you tonight the game will be over."

The host pauses and then asks Zanjana to stand up.

"Zanjana, you have proved especially capable in the challenge that was presented to you. You turned in your answers in a timely manner and were never rude to either the host or your fellow players. It has been a joy to have you along for this wonderful experience"

The host prepares for his next statement that will make someone unhappy.

"Zanjana, please take a bow."

Zanjana bows graciously.

"Zanjana, your score on the quiz set you apart from the other players."

The host pauses again.

"Zanjana, you had the highest score on the quiz. Congratulations! Everyone give Zanjana a round of applause."

*there is much clapping*

Zanjana sits down, relieved that he was still in the game.

*Phew*

"Bob Spenser. I am sorry, but you had the lowest score on the quiz. It is time for you to leave. Your door prize is a 12 pack of diet or regular coke."

The next morning, the group gathers together in the same bare gameroom. They all sit down at the table staring at the one empty chair where their friend Bob Spenser used to sit. The players talk with each other, mainly about what a wonderful person Bob Spenser was and how they wanted to meet him after the game was over so they could be friends.

Eventually the host enters.

"Everyone, good morning. Your bags have been collected and stowed away for your journey to our next destination. From here on out every morning you should be prepared in case the game calls for everyone to leave the hotel and head to a new destination. Several of the staff workers were appalled at all of the illegal items they discovered during the packing of your bags, so you will have to pack your bags yourself from here on out."

The host waits for the weight of his words to sink in.

"The producer of the show, Chelsea Bando, has decided to save money by hiring a yellow school bus for the next leg of your journey. Your bus driver is waiting for you outside."

The group leaves the building and walks toward the waiting yellow school bus, with the words DC located on the side of the bus. As the doors to the bus open, the group is shocked to discover that Bob Spenser is the driver.

"You look surprised to see me", said Bob. "I will be guiding you on the way down to the nation's capital. All I have is DisneyMania music. We will be stopping at Starbucks for breakfast and Wendy's for lunch before we arrive."

Bob hands out debit cards to each player.

Bob explains the purpose of the debit cards as he starts driving down the road toward the highway entry ramp. In the meantime the producer, staff, and Mr. Anderson drive off to their private plane.

"The purpose of the debit cards is two-fold. You each have the same amount of money right now, which is 11 dollars. You can take money from this debit card to purchase items at locations that are visited, such as food or farming tools.

Mar-7-2007 00:55

The money that you can spend is equal to the number of dollars the group has earned divided by the number of players. This money does NOT come out of the winnings for the team, but instead comes from a separate account. The more money the team accumulates, the more money each person has to buy items. An example of an item to purchase is an exemption pass that would allow you to skip a quiz."

However, the mole's debit card is special because the mole has whatever money the team failed to earn in challenges. The mole can purchase items to hurt the group.

The second purpose of the debit cards is to teach you about the value of money."

Soon the players arrive at Starbucks for breakfast and realize they have to buy breakfast and dinner with only 11 dollars."

Fortunately for the players today was Starbuck's free doubleshot espresso and cream day, so the players got free samples.

After an annoying five hour bus ride from Sleuth Headquarters, the players arrived in Washington DC. The host is waiting for them near the Washington Monument.

The group is told by Anderson Cooper that they will have to travel around the city looking for an answer box that holds the destination of the city that the players will soon be heading off to.

"However in order to find the box with the location of the city you will be heading to, you will need to locate another box which contains the name of the country that the city is located in. In order to locate that box, you will need to find a box that contains the name of the continent that the country is located in. The clue to begin this game is located at Wendy's. You can decide whether you want to stay together as a group or split up for this challenge once we arrive at the restaurant. First, we will head off to lunch at Wendy's and you can decide amongst yourselves what the groups will be if there are any. Best of luck at lunch players and remember to think with your stomachs."

As soon as the group arrives at Wendy's, they notice that each of the food choices on the menu costs exactly one dollar.

Before they begin, the host asks that both Adam Carter and Lilangel come talk to him in private.

Soon the two come back and join the rest of the group.
