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!

first come first serve seems best considering we need to get rid of those characters stat, and the ones who dibbed them can do it quickly because the whole reason there's a big list of 'em is because no one's been TCB. :huh:

Or, FCFS and make it like ____ per customer or something.

On a side note, I believe SOTF_Help has been deactivated because some jive sucka hacked it?

I knew this couldn't just be simple. :P Since we have multiple people claiming and reclaiming the same characters, we're going to have to do something to solve that little dilemma. If at all possible, I'm going to try to contact the original handler of the character and see who they'd prefer to kill their character. If it's not possible, I still think I should be first come, first serve. Whoever asked first should get it. If you guys disagree, we can come to another solution, so let me know something.

Also, concerning characters like John and Debrah, if you aren't posting with them, and they fall on the inactivity list, I don't really care whose fault it is, nor do I really want to hear "So and so isn't posting!" If you guys are in the middle of a death and you can't post and can't get something organized, then the death rights are going to be forfeited and you'll no longer have any say-so in how the character dies. Baby's right, people aren't taking care of business, and that's why this list is here in the first place, so I'm sorry if it sounds harsh, but I'm not gonna bend over backwards to please everybody. I'm trying to clear out the inactive list so the people who really want to be here can roleplay unhindered. Let's take care of business. If so-and-so won't post, take control of their character and finish the scene yourself, because if it isn't done soon, that's exactly what I'll be doing for you. I'm sorry, but this is a real nuisance to the site, and it needs to be dealt with immediately.

First come first served is good in theory, but there has to be a limit so the first comer can't claim the whole damn list. :P

But the thing is, if two characters are currently together (e.g. Sam and Lee-Ann), it's redundant and pointless to limit the deaths to 1 per person, because then you have to come up with a way to split the characters up and all that mess. There've been several opportunities to take these characters that everybody has passed up, but now that they don't have to come up with a death idea and submit it, everybody suddenly wants them. Some people, and I'm really not trying to take a direct shot at anybody with this, need to be more concerned about getting their own characters active rather than how many of the inactives they can kill off. Besides, the odds of adding a lot more inactives to this list are pretty high, because I'm not making exceptions anymore. 99.9% of the borderline guys really should be declared inactive anyway because the large[i/] majority of them have been inactive for a helluva lot longer than two weeks. Most of them have been inactive for months. We've stopped character registrations, we're slowly winding down to Endgame, and we've got to get inactive characters out of the way. No more "I'll post, just not now." I get that everybody has lives outside of SOTF, you're preaching to the choir with that one, but right now, my main priority is to clear the inactive characters off the board and let Endgame wind down to the people who post more than sporadically.

Like I said, I think that if I can still get in contact with the character's handler, I'll PM/IM/e-mail them and ask them who they'd prefer to write their character death. If that isn't an option, I'll come up with something else. Mitsuko asked for the rights to Sam and Lee-Ann a while back, so I'm probably going to give them to her. Scipher already asked for Sarah Dao and was guaranteed her, so that isn't an option for anybody else. I'm leaning toward Neal with An Linh Tuan because he wants to adopt her, but the problem with that is that on a technicality, An should be dead because she's already been rolled like twice, and that's mine and the staff's problem for not taking care of business on our end. If it's alright with Leo, who I actually still talk to on a regular basis, Baby_G will probably get Jenna Cassidy, and I may give Xaldien Burton Harris. This isn't set in stone yet, it's subject to change, but to me, that seems like the most logical thing to do.

Well, I also submitted a death request to SOTF_Help for An Linh and Jenna Cassidy quite some time ago, but now that I know the account has been hacked, it becomes a little irrellevant. Nevertheless, I did take the time to submit ideas back when the characters originally became inactive(including An Linh and Jenna Cassidy), so I think I should have rights to something.

I see where you are getting Meg, but it's going to boggle things in some cases if characters just kill four people and characters just lay down and die. But I agree, they need to be cleared out.

I don't have the time to post with John right now, so go ahead and finish him off.

At least have him give a good fight :)

Hrmm...

I also take care of Ernest, pending inactivity of course. I had traded with Helix for his death rights anyway so I'll give him an appropriate send off if Helix doesn't show up anytime soon.

Honestly, I just don't have the interest for this anymore. Hell, the most entertaining part of the site these days are the announcements, in my opinion, and I don't have time to be here anyway. Thus, I'm giving both of my characters up for adoption.
