On September 13th, 2011, an email was sent to several members of Slender Nation inviting them to play [[DeadlyGame a game]]. The sender, CRUX_crucible said the game would begin on October 1st, and encouraged those who recieved the email to spread the word. A thread was posted about it on Slender Nation, and several members agreed to join.
Shortly after, someone named D started a blog vowing to find out about CRUX and to stop his games, and a mysterious third party, ARC, who seems to have a connection to CRUX, revealed himself.
Then some shit went down, and the rest is merely an issue of who is dead, and who becomes the next servant of the TREE.

* AnyoneCanDie: Even the Players. ''[[EspeciallyZoidberg Especially the Players.]]''

-->''"Every dog shall have its day."''
%%* AscendedFanon: The addition of COSM/Dean.
* BreakTheCutie: Gorger going after Allison sends Steph off into the deep end.
* BullyingADragon: Otherwise known as "poking the bear", which has become a favorite pass-time of Players. Unfortunately this tends to [[DoNotTauntCthulhu backfire really horribly]].
* ChildhoodFriends: Dante and Allison. Although due to reasons Allison would rather not get into they have agreed to be JustFriends.
* ContinuityNod: Sarah returns for a brief moment after breaking up with RED to be screwed by Blackmuse [[spoiler:(AKA, the Duke)]].
* CrypticConversation: Almost every conversation with a plot device.
* CuriosityCausesConversion: Because let's face it, looking for the TREE on purpose is just asking for trouble.
* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: Zander did this to Gorger in the form of a parody of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MC0G-Lbuuk Erasure's "Always"]]. He also literally flipped off Dean (formerly COSM) at the end of a challenge.
* DealWithTheDevil: The Sins are fond of this.
* DreamingOfThingsToCome: CRUX's and Near's dreams.
* DullSurprise: Surprisingly subverted, especially with the number of Genre Savvy players.

* {{Foreshadowing}}
** Each of the practice challenges plus the first three challenges of round 1 represent a seven deadly sin. It is assumed that for every round, there will be a challenge that corresponds with at least one deadly sin.

* [[IfYouEverDoAnythingToHurtHer If You Ever Do Anything To Hurt Her/Him]]: So far CRUX's [[http://crux-crucible.tumblr.com/post/11214310294 audio recorded]] threat against Dean takes the cake for being the most [[WhatTheHellHero downright disturbing]].
