| 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! |

Wow, remind me to never use lingo like that ever again. You all may have read the current threads by our members Scipher and Cyco. Most of you know what they're talking about and are in agreeance, others are the ones targeted and have felt the need to defend yourself against the claim. For those who haven't read the posts, I'll quote them there.
And while the two have decided to either get aggressive, or take some time away, we wish them the best. As for this roleplay, we like to pride ourselves on keeping the creativity going, the characters interesting, but also provide a welcoming presence to new roleplayers while keeping our older members around. The site has thrived at times because we try to keep it involved and leave freedom to write what you wish, and to explore different ways of doing so. That said, we are not necessarily going to watch as members are deterred and, as Cyco put it, see SOTF become one giant pissfest. Piss is not good, sorry for those out there with that fetish.... So, the solution to this is simple, we'll give you a chance to fix it yourselves first. If anyone even remotely thinks that their current or past situations in Pregame are unrealistic,-- and I'll give you a hint, criminal activity is a BIG one, as well as fighting on school property, sexual molestation, etc-- you have a week to change it, from the date of this post. I know it may not be the bloody gore action that the games provide, but pregame is that time to do everything else that might seem odd in the game itself, like developing older friendships and being able to put the character into a different situation. If the changes aren't made, we will treat your threads as canon and we will inflict reality upon them. That meaning the NPC Popo are gonna be coming to get your character. And they're going to jail, and court, and more jail. In case that doesn't make sense to you, they will be removed from further pregame action and most definately will be denied V3 access when registering comes around. Thank you and have a Nice day.

I can only hope there's no one on SOTF like that. I believe on all accounts that we should keep both Pregame and V3 realistic. BR was very farfetched as far as realism goes, but at least it didn't go completely out of control. Kazuo might have been an emotionless character, but do you remember him blowing up a fucking gas station, killing 30 people at once? Did he ever rape anyone? No. So let's use Battle Royale as an example: If it couldn't have ever happened in BR, then it WON'T happen here. That's a very good way to look at things. You can't just make your character all badass for the main purpose of having people like them. History lesson: The same exact thing happened in V2. Too many people making their characters the center of attention. Of course some of this must've happened in V1. I don't deny that, but... Here's a question for everyone who played V1: Did any of you know, in your mind the minute you saw him, that Adam Dodd was going to win? That's right. I doubt any of you would say yes, because even Adam(the handler) himself didn't think so at the time. I've asked him the exact same question, and he answered. What about V2? We all know Bryan Calvert's going to win somehow, but HE WAS ORIGINALLY supposed to be a bad guy. See? I think the less of a protagonist/antagonist you make your character, the more likely he/she'll win. See where I'm going with this? I think Megami will make a much better case for me, but this is all my opinion about Pregame. I've tried my best not to delve into the unbelievable, but I've come close. I'll try my best not to do it again, just to know I'm doing my part to make sure V2 = V3. |

Aside from the Bowling Alley post, what else is needing editing (Bowling Alley post is deleted all together)? |

Blood Boy would be interesting in the actual game; do you think Danya would see to his abduction from a psych ward if he'd been institutionalized earlier that year (as long as he still technically is part of the class)? |

He's the type of person who'd do that just to see what would happen. |

No, but Blood Boy already visits his psychologist regularly and especially now that he's developed some social clout it would be considered detrimental for him to be institutionalized and then there is also the issue that he's pretty much for the most part sane. For the most part though, I think only one of Blood Boy's threads need to be edited (and only one line)and the thread that where brought into question about Josh has already been edited. |

Actually... yeah. That's quite possible, now that I think about it. The rules say that the contestants must be from Southridge, but if Blood Boy were to be institutionalized... well, they would make an exception. Plus, a mental institution would probably make him even more insane than playing SOTF would to many of the characters. Yes, I think that could happen. |

It specifically says in the rules that any and all participating students in V3 have to be from Southridge High School and had to have attended the senior trip, so no, sorry. If I make an exception for one, I have to make one for everybody else who asks. |

Yeah, because sexual assault in public (Southridge is a public school, right?) is somehow not considered a violation under the California Penal Code, even if it was "self-defense."

We have two choices with that thread: we either got back and edit every post since then or move on, it all depends on you. |

Just gave the tail-end of it a read over, I think some editing for realism might be a good idea. |

A couple of things: Other than Bukowski's little "creative outburst", the rest of the bowling alley thread is doing a well job of keeping things realistic, right? Also, I'm going to have to say it here, but I agree a good deal with what Scipher and Cyco are saying about unrealism. We've got alot of handlers that handle alot of characters, and it's nice to differentiate, but I think a good rule to follow (not this time around, coz it's too late, but maybe if there would be a v4 or something) would be to try and cut back on the sheer amount of characters with complicated and highly unrealistic backgrounds and behaviour. How many people resembling these characters have you ever met in real life? Do you people know alot of guys who were framed for murder, or were raised by the mafia, or drive a Viper in high school, or are anything like Blood Boy? As an individual person, it sounds plausible... but collectively it seems like we've created the most absurdly rare gathering of people into a single high-school class ever. The odds of all those people being so different like that being around each other are about one in a trillion. Just thought I'd throw my piece in there. I've been priding myself on keeping my characters plausible. Maybe some of you guys could use a reality check every now and then, for the sake of the rest of our sanity. |

Alrighty, I appreciate the input received on this matter by all sides, but since the issue has been resolved, I'm going to go ahead and close this topic. Please direct all of your constructive criticisms to PM. :-) |
