| Welcome to Survival of the Fittest, a RPing board loosely based off of Koshun Takami's Battle Royale, with its own unique plot and spin on the 'deadly game'. We've been around quite a while, and are now in our thirteenth year, so don't worry about us going anywhere any time soon! If you're a newcomer and interested in joining, then please make sure you check out the rules. You may also want to read the FAQ, introduce yourself and stop by the chat to meet some of our members. If you're still not quite sure where to start, then we have a great New Member's Guide with a lot of useful information about getting going. Don't hesitate to PM a member of staff (they have purple usernames) if you have any questions about SOTF and how to get started! Let the games begin! |

Staffers, members, whoever else decides to read this: I've been doing a lot of thinking, mostly about the massive inactive character list that's accumulated throughout December when none of us had the time or incentive to post. It's such a waste, you know? So many characters are going to become fodder... and why? Because they didnt' have time to post? This isn't me going soft about inactivity, this is me stating that nobody's had TIME to post... so it seems like we're just causing a problem by trying to kill off so many characters. Here's what I'm thinking. I'd like to see the characters' handlers take their characters back, if they want to... or at the very least, give people an opportunity to adopt some of the inactives. It's such a big waste of good characters. Of course, I'm not gonna set this in stone unless people think it's a good idea, so this is why I'm asking you all... my staffers, AND the members of this forum... what you guys think. |

I'm all for it, being as my characters are currently involved with several inactives. |

I agree. I know how hard it is to post sometimes, as I did the same. I'm all for it. |

Grudgingly fourthed. Until recently I was inactive myself (still need one more post to bring one of my characters out of the morass), though it was more from real life and being held back, so I can relate. It's fair. |

Hrmm... I give it a begrudging 'OK.' I think there should be some kind of limit to how long they have to reclaim them though or something. 'Cause if they aren't gonna log in anytime soon I don't think that they should get their characters back. |

Well yeah. I'm not saying that they should abandon the site, come back four months down the line, and demand their charries back. That'd be silly. I'm talking more like... people who are (or would be) active that've lost their characters due to various circumstances (one of our members was sort of on maternity leave, one moved). |

Well, the whole baby deal is sometimes a long thing to bounce back from, (cept of course, Mistuko
she's a trooper) and the whole moving thing can get to be a pain in the ass because internet hook ups and such... would it be reasonable to say, if the person who left had an excuse) that a month is a good time... I'm just throwing something out there...

This may be crazy, but let’s not worry about setting deadlines for people who aren’t even here yet, but focus primarily on getting back on track activity and RP wise, a few inactive characters will make no difference for a very active RP and ask Adam, they can be dealt with easily. In short: If you have time to read this message, you have time to post and should be doing so right now :P. |
