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!

Thanks Ms. Nin!

You were the writer who gave us the most to fear and you deservedly won the Quill! I know you'll use it wisely!

Our thanks have to go to SS â€"sleuth’s number 1 squirrel- for helping my tribe!

ctown, I'll happily post my intros here if there is no issue with any of the mods with posting an unapproved intro.

It would be most interesting to see the intros, both the one who gave 1 point, and those (which I expect exist) that did not count.

It would enable us all to learn a bit I believe? ;-)

But, I guess it's up to the individual contestants.

Congrats Comanche, I'm amazed at how many good intros you have submitted you definately deserve to win.

I, like miss snopes, was not looking forward to this challenge. I enjoy writing but the mood has to take me and this week it just didn't.

Apologies to the Lenape team for being simply useless this week hehe

"What is the world coming to when people kill over forgotten birthdays?" I wondered aloud as I stared at the picture of Oscar Abeyta, the man I had just delivered to a jail cell, before I scrawled the words "Case Closed" at the bottom of the file folder and slid it into the back of the Solved Cases drawer.

It was late Friday night, almost eleven pm, and the streets were quite- well, as quite as streets ever are in New York City. I had just gotten back from delivering the murderer to the police station, and was looking forward to me weekend. I felt like a bit of fun after my long, tiring week.

"Big Lucy's sounds good," I said to myself as I slipped into my coat and dropped my hat on my head. "And tomorrow the Boardwalk."

Suddenly, jarringly, my phone started to ring. I stared at it in despair.

"Do I really want to answer that?" I asked myself, already abandoning the door and walking to the desk. "No," I replied, as I picked up the phone.

"Hello? Detective? Glad I caught you!" the voice on the other end said jovially.

"Yes, I'm here, what do you want?" I inquired grumpily.

"Well, you know that murderer you just brought us? He's dead. Murdered it looks like. He had quite a few visitors, and one of them might have done it. Want the case? Him Aunt says she will pay you," the police lieutenant told me.

I groaned. I could use the dough. "I'll be over in a jiff."

Fifteen minutes later, I was shoved into a little used storage closet at the station. A timid looking woman with short, curly mousy brown hair and a heavy figure sat, clutching a handkerchief. She stood, held out her right hand, shook mine briskly, and sat back down.

"I am Marlena Abeyta, Oscar Abeyta's Aunt. The lieutenant mentioned me to you, I believe?"

Thanks all! So this how it feels like to win? Suddenly I do not know what to do now. No tribal council, no voting...
