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!

BKA

Vote: Keith Jackson
Reason: Sometimes it's nice to have a fast paced, spur-of-the-moment death scene, as opposed to something drawn out, a long protracted fight with the momentum swinging one way and then the other. It was sudden, it was quick, it was gritty, and that's why I'm voting for it.

BDA

Vote: Ken Lawson
Reason: I know you're not really supposed to say this, but it was a cool idea. The irony - or whatever you want to call it was well placed. Reminiscent, for some reason, of Final Destination, Burton managed to avoid the game and ended up falling into his own grave and being buried in it. Cool idea and well written.

BKA

Vote: Blood Boy
Reason: Once again, props for creativity and the sheer shock factor of it all. Sometimes it's the method to the madness that counts.

BDA: Ken Lawson

Vote:

Reason: I'm big on creativity, let me tell you. It was ironic and sickeningly hilarious, even though people are going to have to dig a few feet underground to get to the now-buried kevlar. LOL.

BKA
Vote: Julie Mikan
Reason: The only death that actually surprised me. I could see all the others coming from a mile away, but the fact that she mistakenly shot Owen while he was attempting to survive an attack from Harry Tsai was what sold it too me. Plus, she was the only character out of the nominees who became visibly upset over killing someone.

BDA
Vote: LadyMakaze
Reason: Simply because I thought the fight between Galen and Nadine was better than how Adam offed Ken Lawson. Not to say that Ken's death scene was bad or anything, but I felt that the Nadine/Galen scene was a much better death than Ken Lawson's. Plus, Adam let a perfectly good Kevlar go to waste. D:

Best Kill Award
Vote: Julie Mikan
Reason: Spontaneity. Julie wasn't supposed to kill Owen, it's just the way things went down, with Makaze, Ciel, d0ddi0slave and CycoKiller all bouncing off one another and just kind of rolling with the flow. I thought it turned out really well, and this is a step in the right direction for the forum, so other people should really take note of this. There wasn't pre-planning. The death wasn't outrageous because "so-and-so got promised death rights so they HAVE to get the last hit in". It was completely random, it went down way different than initially intended, and it turned out really well. As someone else stated earlier, Maka made it a point to portray Julie's emotions involving the death, something that up until now, a LOT of people seem to have ignored. Therefore, my vote for BKA goes to Julie.

Best Death Award
Vote: d0ddi0slave
Reason: This one is considerably harder to decide for me because most of the non-fodder (read: the inactives and whatnot) deaths were pretty well-written and you could tell that with most (if not all) of them, their handlers put in quite a bit of effort. So, after much deliberation, I've decided to vote for Ken Lawson's death. I tend to like any sort of death that hasn't been done in SOTF before, and being buried alive is one of them, surprisingly enough. I thought it was portrayed pretty well, and it was definitely something different, while it didn't border on the edges of reality like some of the more creative deaths tend to do. So, for that reason, my vote goes to d0ddi0slave.
