DAY ONE: FEAR FACTOR STUNT #1

DAY THREE: FEAR FACTOR STUNT #2

 

Joseph: Well, well, well! 4 days are almost wasted, and our cast has already seen a quarter of itself been eliminated, and the murderer and the mole are still here. I hate to disappoint some of you, but FEAR FACTOR IS NOW OFFICIALLY OVER!!! Congratulations to all 15 of you on making it past the first game mode. There's a lot left however. For the rules state that at the change of every game mode, if the murderer remains in the game, then a new kind of Murder in Small Town X game begins that was created by me. Here's the way this is going to work. I'm about to give you a simple challenge. You will complete this challenge and then I will rank all 15 of you according to how you did in this challenge. The top 7 of you will be safe and will not be at risk to the killer's wrath. However, the bottom 8 in the challenge will be at risk to the Killer, who will then simply choose one person from those 8 people, and they will be eliminated from the game. Sounds like fun, doesn't it? Well, we're done with this, so it's now time for the MURDERER'S CHALLENGE!! This is a very simple challenge. Since we're still here at the Luxor Hotel, which is in the shape of a Pyramid, we're gonna simply play the Yahoo! Game Pyramids. Just go to Yahoo.com and play the game, Pyramids. You have 23 hours to complete this challenge. (Until May 7th at 3:00 CST) Tomorrow, Day 5 (May 7), I'm going to go to Pyramids game and look at each of your Yahoo screennames and see how high each of you scored on your high score. To let me know which Yahoo! screenname you will be playing under, simply send me an e-mail telling me which one to look under. Then, tomorrow, I will check and see the high scores, then rank you accordingly. It's as simple as that. So, those are your instructions. Congratulations on making it past Fear Factor, and Good Luck at Pyramids!

*The 15 remaining contestants race off to begin the Murderer's Challenge as Joseph sits and relaxes his fingers after typing so much*



*It's the same time, same place as the last two days. It's late afternoon on Day 5 in the game and the 15 remaining players are sitting in the conference room at the Luxor hotel. Joseph enters the room with a card in his hand in which holds the results of the first Murderer's Challenge. The entire room quickly grows silent.*

Joseph: Well, well, well! This certainly is interesting! The results are in and some of you are about to become safe and automatically move on to the round of 14, in which we will begin playing another game mode. 7 of you will move on right now. However, 8 of you will not and must face the wrath of the Killer, who will personally eliminate one of you. So, before I reveal anything else about how that will happen, on to the results of Pyramids, the game you played.

In first place, and safe with a score of 68810, Aaron wins the challenge.
2. Simone with 66850
3. Toby with 60890
4. Brian with 55480
5. Fred with 51770
6. Louis with 40580

And in 7th place, the last person to be safe, with a score of 35280, GORDO IS SAFE! So, Aaron, Simone, Toby, Brian, Fred, and Louis are all safe. Here's the rest of the results....

8. Andrew with 32610
9. Bob with 31830
10. Kyle with 27760
11. Darren with 16140
12. Devon
Dean, Imogene, and Michael did not even attempt the challenge.

*Joseph shakes his head and smiles.*

Joseph: OK, so we now know that Andrew, Bob, Kyle, Darren, Dean, Devon, Imogene, and Michael are all now vulnerable to the Killer, whoever he or she may be. But, there's a small twist. I really do not like it when people do not do anything in the challenges. I expected to see a score from everyone when I checked them, and I didn't even get e-mails with screennames from some of you. So here's what I'm going to do. Although Andrew, Bob, Kyle, and Darren are STILL vulnerable and able to be eliminated by the Killer, I'm going to give them one last shot. I need Andrew, Bob, Kyle, and Darren to each e-mail me the name of who they think the killer is as soon as possible (before the killer contacts me, so if you do it after the killer has made his decision, it will do you no good!) If the killer chooses to kill one of those 4 and they correctly named who the killer is, then they will remain in the game and the killer will have killed no one. As for Dean, Devon, Imogene, and Michael, if the killer chooses one of you, you are eliminated from the game. It's as simple as that. So, that's the way it is. We are going to give the killer a brief period of time to think this over and I will contact you when he or she has made his or her decision. In the mean time, relax.... if you can!

*Joseph laughs as the 7 of the remaining 15 relax, 4 of them ponder the identity of the killer, 4 drop their heads, and one of these 15 makes a personal decision that will end one person's journey to win SBBTAMR 2!*





*It's late night on Day 5 in the game. Our 15 remaining contestants all sit in the conference room, awaiting the decision of the mysterious murderer. Meanwhile, we get a flashback from earlier in the day after the Murderer's Challenge results...*

*Devon is shown walking up to Joseph.*

Devon: This is SOOOO not fair! I worked hard on that challenge and what do I get for it? Nothing. ZIP. And now I'm being punished for something that I supposedly didn't do when I DID DO IT! I did make a score and although I didn't win, I did do it.

Joseph: But Devon, you didn't do the entire challenge. You skipped over the easiest, but very important, part of letting me know what name you were going to work under. You are right and I see that the date you did it on was yesterday, so I'll make you a deal. I'll let you, like the other 4, guess who the killer is and if the killer picks you and you choose correctly, then you will remain in the game. However, this is your only chance to not follow the rules and get some slack. No more after this.

Devon: Oh, that was my bad. I thought you had some way to check and I didn't read the directions. I'm sorry about my tone, it's just been a rough day.

*Now the camera shifts back to the conference room, where Joseph enters the room.*

Joseph: First of all, let me tell you that Devon did do the challenge yesterday and did prove it, so although he didn't quite follow all the directions, and although he didn't get a top 7 score, I'm letting him have the same option as the other 4 in predicting who the killer is. So all 5 of them have made their predictions. Are any of them correct? Does it even matter? Is the killer instead going to go after Imogene, Dean, or Michael? Or is the killer going to take a risk? In any case, the killer has made his/her decision and it is time. Here's how we're going to do this. You 8 people at risk will go up to the 8th floor of this hotel. You will then each walk into a room, numbered 1-8. 8 of you will walk in, 7 of you will walk out, THAT IS UNLESS ONE OF YOU 5 HAS WISELY CHOSEN WHO THE KILLER IS! Let's find out!

*Up at the 8th floor, the 8 vulnerable people each walk in, waving goodbye to the other 7 who are safe. The doors slam closed, then one of them opens. 7 people walk out, but one does not.

That one person who does not move on to the round of 14 and is the Murderer's First Victim is............................ DEVON!*

*Joseph opens up the door that Devon disappeared into and written on the wall in red are the words "Cat Spasms".*

Joseph: It seems that for one reason or another, Devon has left this game. Not to be cliche or anything, but it seems that this could be a case of "Controversy Killed the Cat". However, on a serious note, for the 5 days that Devon was in the game, he played with as much if not more passion and dedication as anybody else. This was evident by his great journal entries, which will be opened at the end of the game with his final words within. Until then, his disappearance will remain a mystery. The mystery that is even more cloudy is who is the killer. But what about Devon? Was he the Mole? Let's find out.

*Joseph and the 14 remaining players move back down to the conference room. Joseph goes to his laptop of all knowledge and types D-E-V-O-N.

The screen turns.... GREEN!*


Joseph: Well, 14 remain, and 2 of you are the Murderer and the Mole. Hmmm.... interesting! Anyways, it's time for a new game mode. But before we begin that, I give you one more night of rest here in Vegas. Have fun, because you're about to begin the hardest stretch of this game! Good night and God Bless!

*5 days passed... 6 are gone....14 remain.... One will win! The others... well, they won't!*
