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!

So, just for the sake of knowing where to look...

Where exactly is the monthly kill list? I know I'm new, but, I got a character out there, but for the small sake of having a chance of a kill, I would humbly like to know where to look.

I used to be a handler like you, then I turned into a horse.

At the beginning of every month, there is usually an announcement made to signify the start of the new day. Before the announcement is posted, the staff do rolls to determine which characters are slated to die. At the end of every announcement, the list of rolled characters is posted so people know who has to be killed off. However, it's up to the handler of the character how they die, it's not first come first served. The inactives are similar in that the staff rolls a random location for the inactive and sends the character there, playing as them under the SOTF_Help account. Once the destination has been reached, the death is RPed out as if it were a normal thread. Incidents like Wade Wilson at the Lagoon are only done in circumstances where the above method cannot be done for whatever reason, but we used to operate on a "first come first served" system, and then a "person with the best idea gets it" system. Neither of them worked out well.

Edit: I should point out that a more thorough explanation of this is included both in the rules and the FAQ, but that's a good summary from off the top of my head.

Hiya, jerk! Please don't post until edits have been completed, as doing so causes confusion/messes up the queue.

Hmm, now the only problem for this is where to start, alot of stories have begun and I would feel rather rude to interrupt with my character. ~_~

Nobody has a problem with that, just have fun with it and make sure the post doesn't just throw everything else in the thread out the window.

Yep, well, just look at Kyle's sig. Not a whole lot in V3 has been planned out, so feel free to throw things out of kilter by putting in one of your characters, I'm pretty sure we've all done it at some point in V3.

I invite you to intrude on my characters anytime you like. Of course, it's good ettiquette not to run in on someone's death/kill post and steal their thunder, but it doesn't matter much otherwise. I've found that everyone here is really friendly and understanding about that kind of thing.
