| 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: Julie Mikan for Viktor Kurchatov. Knife in head is always fun. It was quick and sudden, which was neat. BDA: Atomic Waffle for Gabriel Theobaldt. Why? Very simply, this death came out of absolutely nowhere and blew me away at just how much it seemed to sum up his character's final realization at things. While the character in the game was a little comic-booky, I think that the death really brought him full circle and was a tremendous piece of writing from young Waffle. Nice job. |

BKA: Adam Dodd M-M-M-MONSTER KILL! I think the principle of eliminating two of the more promising motivators is enough to win Adam the Best Kill Award. Ka-Fucking-Boom. BDA: Clueless for Simon Wood. I just liked it. *shrugs* |

Best Kill Award: Vote: Adam Dodd Reason: Some of the other deaths, to be honest, felt a little too over-the-top, and to me, that's kind of a turnoff. It's a good thing to want a good, interesting death. The thing is, when it becomes too overdramatic, it's almost as bad as simply being shot in the forehead. This was Adam's first kill of the game, and it played out pretty interestingly, especially the death of Gabriel Theobaldt, which, to me, was completely unexpected. It was refreshing. --- Best Death Award: Vote: Atomic Waffle for the death of Gabriel Theobaldt Reason: As I stated above, I simply did NOT see this one coming. Honestly, I had expected Gabriel to somehow make it out of the blast without so much as a scratch on him, as I thought it would be true to his comicky nature. Waffle surprised me when he actually killed Gabriel off in what was arguably the best piece of literature involving the character to date. As another voter stated, the post helped Gabriel evolve from a campy villain into a more rounded character and summarized his final moments nicely. |

Wasn't aware of it, read through the rules and must have missed that. BK Vote: Darnell Butler Reason: An accidental kill isn't something you see too often, and I liked the originality of it. Of course I wouldn't say the scene is entirely complete, but what's there is good. BD Vote: Theseus for Trey Leyton Reason: Found it more interesting than the others, to put it straight, and although fast deaths are unexpected, slower, drawn out ones mean more food for... RP? |

BKA: Vote: Adam Dodd Reason: Simply put... the spontaneous deaths of Ivye Dewley and Gabriel Theobaldt at the same time, one directly affecting another... it was very good, probably the best so far. While I won't change my opinion on Waffle's intentions to kill off Gabriel, I will say that his death was still a huge surprise. BDA: Vote: Clueless Reason: Simply because he deserves it. Ciel did absolutely nothing with Quale and threw him away completely, Theo's death was actually all Bukowski and... well, when you realize that Waffles threw Gabriel in the topic with the INTENTION of killing him off, rather than the unexpexted "spontaneous" death everyone thought he had come up with. His last post brought Gabriel full-circle as a character and I respect Atomic Waffles for that, but WE'RE NOT HERE to decide the best post. Adam should have been nominated as well, since Gabriel's death was by his hands (see my above comments). Plus, Viktor's death was more sad and disturbing than shocking. In fact, most of the people nominated HAVE NO REASON TO BE HERE. If Bukowski and Adam, or Megami and Maka were here as well I wouldn't need to be taking sides like this. Frankly Clueless is about the only person who shot out TWO deaths (two well-written albeit over the top deaths may I add) at the same time. He was behind half of the rolled characters deaths, and that's remarkable. Plus, Simon's death was very sad so that's reason enough. |

So basically... BKA: Adam Dodd - 3 Darnell Butler - 1 Julie Mikan - 1 BDA: Atomic_Waffle - 2 Clueless - 2 Theseus - 1 We'll figure out how to break the BDA tie. Or mayhaps reward the both of you? You'll find out! OooooooooooooOOOOoooooOOOOoooo... |
