Since players have started; I'm blocking out all non-players / non-started from the game. Thus, here's what the page said:
Survivor Challenge #16:
Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?
The rules:
- You must PM/IM me to start the journey.
- You must complete the challenge by 11:59 PM Eastern Wednesday.
- You must include your IP with that PM/IM. You can get that from
http://www.ipchicken.com.
- You will each be individually timed... best time wins.
- You will follow Carmen and try to find clues linking her to the crime.
- You will find you have to fly to different locations hot on Carmen's trail.
Once you think you know where you're flying to, enter in the location like so:
http://www.ncaabbs.com/witwics/(city)-(fullcountryname).html
- After you have found two clues linking her to the crime, come up with a motive, and a witness linking her to the crime, you must apply for a warrant.
--- Warrant requests must be done to me over PM/IM.
--- A failed warrant request costs you a 4 hour time penalty.
--- A warrant must be obtained before an arrest can be made.
- You must phone police HQ to make an arrest.
--- Arrest requests must be done to me over PM/IM.
--- A successful arrest ends the game for you.
--- A false arrest (Carmen is not there or no warrant) is a 6 hour time penalty.
- The time it takes for me to respond to a warrant/arrest request is "forgiven".
- I have built in traps for those cheating (using view source, etc). Some of the hidden links "do not make sense" if you have hunted them legit. Do *not* follow those links.
- If you fall into a trap, you are disqualified.
Good luck gumshoe!
