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!

Welcome back everyone! I hope that all of you who celebrate Thanksgiving had a pleasant holiday. I also want to thank everyone for their kind sentiments concerning my grandfather. They are greatly appreciated by my family and me.

CHALLENGE #6- Domum ex Domus

So you’ve ensnared the community. You’ve done your very best to make yourself known in the community. Now what are you going to do with your newfound popularity? You’ve made your bed and now it’s time to lie in it as it were. That’s right everyone, it’s time to figure out if you can make a home out of a house. For those of you who deciphered the Latin, good for you!

You will select one tribe member’s apartment to serve as a tribal base. Over the next week, you will transform that apartment from a simple feather in your cap to the hippest hang out in town. You will also be preparing for the arrival of some celebrity guests who will be rating your base in several categories.

Welcoming Factor- 5 Points
Style- 5 Points
Team Presence- 5 Points

The challenge will end at 18:00 on December 7, 2009 at which point you will be given the names of the celebrity guests to invite.

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

Heim, i'm so sorry to only be reading about your grandfather today.

I pray you and your family were able to make the most of the Thanksgiving holiday despite your loss. God is our refuge and strength in the time of trouble and even though His timing is sometimes not what we desire, it is always the right time. I am praying for a peace that passes all understanding for you and your family.

Ladies and Gentlemen... Sorry for the delay! Technical delays, finals weeks, and a host of other wacky circumstances put a delay on this announcement. The winner of the Week 6 challenge is the Lenape Tribe!

The votes have been tallied and the person going home this week is... nobody! That's right ladies and gentlemen, Domum ex Domus was a pure reward challenge with no intended elimination!

The reward: The Lenapes may select, from eliminated contestants, who will be coming back to compete in the contest next week. I will say that the next contest will be a partner contest, where everyone will be paired up with one other contestant, and will be dependent on that person to win the challenge.

Also, Lenapes, once you make your selection, it will be your last act as the Lenape tribe. When that decision is made, the tribes will be dissolved, and it will be every man and woman for themselves. Three former contestants* are available to choose from:

Kyle XY Rocks- The first to go, and the first to volunteer to come back. Since leaving the island, Kyle has subbed, joined an agency, and attained the rank of agent. Looks like Kyle took the voteoff reasons to heart, and won't make that mistake twice!

topkebab- After being voted off topkebab has returned, and is hovering around in her own way. Still the Director of Dawg Pound Investigations, and a force to be reckoned with.

miss snopes- Our most recent castaway is barely in the boat, and has expressed a desire to return to the island and try again. This director of The Untouchables is no doubt smarting over the fact that she failed to live up to her agency name, and doesn't plan on letting it happen again.

Lenape tribe! Please let us know of your final official action as a tribe!

*Valentina D'Angeli, has unfortunately retired follow her elimination and Vulkie3 has requested to be withdrawn from consideration.

Umm, if I may, which apartment was judged from each team, and which one won??

Just curious! ;-)

Thank you!

Lenape's apartment was ctown28's. Most unfortunately Comanche missed the submission deadline and did not get an apartment in to be judged.

Great thanks to Ben and Sunny for their help with this contest. It's much appreciated.

As soon as the Lenapes formally announce their choice here, the process for the next challenge will begin :D

This next challenge will be a partner challenge in which partners will be selected based on the order in which they next post in this thread. I have written down a sequence of random numbers pairing each number with another. Your posts determine your pairings, and no pairings will be made until immediately after Lenape makes their announcement. So no worries, the person who makes the announcement will not be considered #1.
