All aboard the nightmare train! Next stop, touristy Raccoon City. The weather is great this time of year, and the people are SO friendly. Over the next several weeks you will enjoy an all-expense paid visit to a homey mansion on the outskirts of town. Nestled in the woods, the mansion covers several thousand square feet and includes all the usual amenities as well as a fully-stocked kitchen where you'll always find meat (of one kind or another) on the table.

Now to get down to business, this contest is comprised of two tribes of eight individuals. You will compete in a series of challenges designed to test your mental and physical fortitude. Well, mainly your mental fortitude. In any event 16 of you are starting this competition, 2 will live to face the final jury, and 1 will outlast all the rest to become the ultimate survivor.

I will post a challenge schedule later, but for now plan on having your first challenge (Pass the Vile) next Monday. That's all for now. Good luck to everyone, and may the best survivor win.
