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 of all, before you even read the rest of this post, make sure you read the rules for this contest. You can't vote for yourself and you can't vote more than once. That being said, let's get this party started! Voting ends on February 29th.

BKA

Vote: Gabriel Theobaldt
Reason: It was well written, a bit of a clencher, and the actual death was gruesome, and in my opinion thought out. Oliver did a great job with an opener like that. Even if it was a weapon-gainer, it was really good to read.

BDA

Vote: Megami
Reason: Again, an opener death, but I thought that it was a read that was descriptive, almost too much. I felt Heather hurting her child, and the emotion from all characters was amazing.

Best kill award

Ivye Dewley

For the exact reasons as the guy a couple of spaces ahead of me. The death of Heather was the only one I felt that was truly a death that was planned ahead, without anything to actually gain except the thought of making people go "Holy Shit."

Best Death Award

Riser

Because I think her death was the best of the best. Tegan had a chance to be an interesting character, but when she was rolled I figured it'd be short. Not true. In the two pages or so that I've read, I saw every molecule of the character in there. That's why I think Riser deserves this award.

Best Kill Award
Vote: Blood Boy
Reason: So many people have said this before, but the very LARGE majority of the deaths so far have been, basically, handlers' attempts at getting their flagships good weapons, which kinda isn't cool, mostly because in most, if not all of those deaths, the character they're maliciously murdering doesn't even fight back. Man, I know if that were me I'd be kicking and screaming if someone was trying to kill me, I wouldn't just stand there and take it. I felt like some of the deaths really stretched the boundaries of realism in addition to all that, so I'm finding it pretty hard to vote for anybody. I guess I'm gonna go with Blood Boy for the death of Josh Goodman, just because out of all of them, it was the most creative while still being at least somewhat within the boundaries of realism.

Best Death Award
Vote: Riserugu
Reason: Is it me, or was Tegan one of the ONLY characters who seemed to show any emotion whatsoever when she died? Granted, it was a suicide post, so I guess you'd feel a lot more conflicted committing suicide than you'd feel when you get shot in the face, but to be quite bluntly honest, Tegan's about the only character that I even moderately felt for when she died. Like I said earlier -- and multiple other people have said -- most of the kills this time around were just people's attempts at getting weapons, and it was handlers killing off their own characters, and I'm honestly somewhat disappointed that people didn't put more effort into making you FEEL for the character before they died. That's why Riser gets my vote.

Not really any reason that wasn't stated above, which I for the most part agree with. Quite original, and a good read.

BDA: Riserugu
Again, I thought the post was well-written, carried good emotion, and I can't really say much else that hasn't been said before. Well done.

Best Kill
Vote: Blood Boy
Reason: Electrocution is definitely a first...and electrocution in a pool of blood is something that probably won't be replicated for a very long time.

Best Death
Vote: Heather Tilmitt (Megami)
Reason: Best death of a pregnant character since...well, it beats Deliah Dollop's. Come on, her fetus got cut out. It can hardly get gorier than that, even counting in my Best Kill vote.

Best Kill - Blood Boy

Electrocution is a very original way to go, and it seems like the only death out of the entire list that wasn't meant as a means for another character to get a better weapon.

Best Death - Riserugu

(Refer to three posts upwards for my explanation as to why I'm voting for Zilya)

-Best Kill-
Vote: Blood Boy
Reason: I've thought about my vote, and decided that best kill had probably gone to the wrong person. Though my views still stand on how I don't like that a lot of these seemed to be simply deaths made to gather a better weapon, or get a kill. I personally would like to see the old rule from V1 back where one couldn't pick up their own characters weapons, because really what's the point of not even trying with what you're given? Having a gun doesn't mean you're going to have a better chance than the kid that got a bag of leaves.

As for the actually death itself because, I have to admit in my haze of pissed-off-ness that I spiraled into that night I didn't give this post much of a chance. Which is why I'm correcting my mistake now, electrocution was an original idea. And in a pool of blood? Very nice touch I must say, and now I feel bad now that I missed it. :3

-Best Death-
Vote: Megami
Reason: Well this didn't change from last time, I still think Heather's death was very emotional, not only where you feeling the emotion from the killers side, but also of the person getting killed (something that a lot of these deaths lack) and it really left you going, "Damn." You saw that Lance's main concern was protecting his daughter even though she was dead, it was touching in a oddly morbid sort of way.

Gabriel Theobaldt for the death of Jason Foley

-One of the few kills I read that seemed realistic and well written enough to actually be plausible given the circumstances.

BDA

Megami for Heather Tilmitt

-Very macabre, very detailed, very gory, very good.
