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!

Hey everybody! It's that time of the month again -- and no that doesn't give you an excuse to be bitchy! -- time to vote for your favourite kills and deaths of the month. A reminder for everybody once again, please make sure you read the rules that are pinned in this forum before you vote. Also, please note that you are not allowed to vote for your own character. IPs are logged by Invisionfree and we can see if you're cheating. So play fair, be nice, have fun, and vote!

(Please note that characters that are already deceased are not eligible to receive Best Kill Award. Likewise, characters that have gone inactive are not eligible to receive Best Kill Award. Characters who have been killed by staffers due to activity reasons are not eligible for Best Death Award.)

Also, keep in mind that to vote you must log out and vote as a Guest!

One more thing to note. This time I've taken the initiative to link you guys to every kill and death that's been nominated, so I have to stress that you all read every kill and death through before voting, so as to give everybody a fair chance. Thanks to everyone who votes, and keep the slaughter coming!

Best Kill Award:
Alexis Machina for the death of Nick Jones, and/or James Migato
J.R Rizzolo for the death of Cara Scholte
Leo Curtis for the deaths of Ryan Gilbert and/or Raven Lawrence
Will Sigurbjornsson for the deaths of Eicca Hietala and/or Clive Maxwell
Eris Marquis for the death of Jim Middleton
Adam Reeves for the death of Kathleen Martin
Steve Digaetano for the death of Shawn Waits
Bobby Jacks for the death of Petra Andrews. [This case is an exception, as Bobby caused her fatal wound in this thread, but her death took place in the one previous linked to.]

Best Death Award:
Crash for the deaths of Nick Jones and/or Jim Middleton
Mimi for the deaths of Cara Scholte and/or Branca Braunstein
Pigeon Army for the death of Ryan Gilbert
Muninn for the death of Raven Lawrence

As always, guys, the formatting is pretty easy:

Vote:
Reason:

You're required to give a valid reason behind your vote. Voting because you "like the handler" or the "kill or death was awesome" isn't going to suffice. Any votes without legitimate reasons will be disqualified, as always. Remember, you must read through all the kills and deaths; then pick a favourite and hope they win the prize! Voting will end October 13th at 12:00 AM EST. The announcement declaring the winners will be written on the 15th. Good luck to everybody who's been nominated, and happy voting!

Best Kill: J.R. Rizzolo killing Cara Scholte.

T'was seriously cringe inducing. Srsly.

Best Death: Petra Andrews.

It was slow and sad without being melodramatic. Definitely among the best deaths of V3.

Best Kill: J.R Rizzolo for the death of Cara Scholte.

I'm not a very squeamish person, but that was enough to have me wincing a lot.

Best Death: Cara Scholte.

I thought it was a good end to a very well written scene.

Best Kill: J.R. Rizzolo

Reason: What the person above said. J.R. Rizzolo's kill was the only one that caught my eye above the rest.


Best Death: Petra Andrews

Reason: I would vote for Atomic Waffle but he broke his promise with Xaldien. I would vote for Mimi but Branca could have went out with alot more flash. Ciel would have gained a vote had he at least tried to keep Clive in character. Archer is probably the only one who deserves the award because he made his character stand out and, in the minutes of her death, made her all the more likable of a character. In short, Archer wins because he made me truly sad for Petra.

BKA: Leo Curtis for killing Ryan Gilbert. Thought part of it seemed awfully similar to another kill on the BKA, I liked it. Then again, I'm a sucker for when these fucking kids show ruthless aggression like Leo showed in that thread, good communication of emotion.

BDA: This was a toss up for me between DetectiveArcher and Mimi, in the end DetectiveArcher won it for me. Same reason as listed below there, where it wasn't isn't. Archer really played it out over the two/three posts between getting shot, allowing the other characters involved in the thread to become involved and really make the overall scene work extremely well. So for an excellent piece of writing that allowed the other "minor" characters of the moment to be involved, I give my BDA award to DetectiveArcher.

Best Kill: Alexis Machina for the death of James Migato
Reason: Deaths seem to come prepackaged with angst and anger and all sorts of other stock emotions in this game. Fair enough, but it's a rare beast indeed that actually makes you laugh at a kill, because that's when you really start questioning your reaction. And the fact that Crash managed to do this while still making me question my reason for laughing, not going overboard or underplaying it, means Alexis edges out J.R. for my BKA nomination.

Best Death: DetectiveArcher for the death of Petra Andrews
Reason: Much like Corbin's death last month, Petra's death was quiet, understated, amazingly emotional in a subtle and non-hamfisted manner. But it was much more effective than Theseus' excellent Corbin death scene, and for that, DA wins my BDA nomination.

BKA: Gotta give that to J.R. Despite being a very angry and sudden kill, I don't think it came off instant psycho. Scipher really wrote the scene well and the special touches he put in really added a lot to the effect.

BDA: Petra Andrews. Arch is a genius when it comes to making you actually feel for a character and that's exactly what he did with Petra. It seriously made me want to jump in the game and save her. Awesome job.

BKA: Leo Curtis

Both kills Leo scored were pretty sound, and I appreciated the thought put into each.

BDA: Muninn for Raven Lawrence

After reading through all the deaths, it was a pretty tough choice. While Petra's was incredible, I think Muninn did a very good job making Raven look pathetic and helpless in his last moments, and it drew a completely different kind of sympathy out of me which I definitely appreciated.

Best Kill: John Rizzolo
The finger-breaking made me wince. I definitely got a chill from this guy.

Best Death: Branca Braunstein
A bit quick, but fucking funny. I tend to notice funny deaths a bit more than dramatic ones, though, so it's probably just me who'd pick this over Petra Andrews.
