There are some kills and deaths that are not included. This is because they were either late, or the person who scored the kill was killed after, thereby making them ineligible to collect a BKA prize.

Ima go with Lulu Altaire here. I enjoyed the development of the scene in general and how it progressed and well, I dunno, I felt that the kill pushed the right buttons in terms of drama/action and such. It's also nice to see somebody scoring their first kill so late and react like she did.

That makes sense to me dammit!

In all seriousness, I felt that the way James set that post out (although a little headache inducing) captured the thoughts of somebody who is about to have their damn head blown off pretty well. Somehow, I doubt anybody would be particularly coherent when facing imminent doom via head asplodesion. Basically, I found the idea entertaining and fairly realistic - it was just plain fun to read.

Best Kill: Adam Reeves for killing Amanda Redder.

SotF is a perfect environment for climatic 'you can't see me' fights in the jungle. And I LOVE those fights. Duel between Adam and Amanda was very exciting. Too bad we had already knew the outcome before...



Best Death: Clueless for the death of Bobby Jacks.

Dawn and Johny's death was good, but I don't like those 'Goodbye Lover' scenes, so it goes out by default. Morgan's was a form masterpiece, but there is no real story behind this form (not Choic's fault, it was collar detonation, nothing more to say here, but...). Bobby's however, was a nice reminder of what Bobby did on the island + it was good to read.

BKA: Adam Reeves

As much as I love Lulu and would love to vote for her, I really don't like the fact that she's killing so many people. Adam and Amanda's scene was really intense and, had we not known who was going to die, would have been really unpredictable. Hats off to TBH and Mandy.

BDA: choic

I have a feeling that people are going to vote for Bobby, but for me, it was really unsatisfying. After fighting so hard to live, I just don't understand why he'd go and kill himself. Choic did an amazing job with Morg's death (though I did get a headache).
I just think that's exactly what would happen when something like that is going through your head and Choic pulled it off superbly.

BKA: Adam Reeves for killing Amanda Redder

An unpredictable and action-packed firefight in a forest (jungle?) that really kept me on the edge of my seat and checking back for updates. Mandy's hastily edited death was anti-climactic, but flowed well and let Adam bask in his jerkassitude as he gloated over his win.


BDA: GameMaker for the death of Dawn Beckworth

There were honestly a load of excellently written deaths this month, and it was hard to single out one that was best. GameMaker gets the vote because of all the deaths, Dawn's was the only one that drew a tear (Amanda was close though). After all that time with Johnny, she didn't get to finish her last sentence.
Not to say that the other deaths weren't good. Bobby Jacks, Amanda Redder, Liz Priestley, and Morgan Ackkland also had noteworthy death scenes, and I will stress that it was a hard choice.

BKA: J.R. Rizzolo for killing Velvet Retsilioh

Riz has had it WAAAAY too easy up until now, since all of his victims were either defenseless to begin with, were sneak attacks, or weren't able to put up that much of a fight anyway. Then someone comes along, leads him on a wild goose chase all over the island, then beats the crap out of him with a rock and her bare fists and makes him fucking EARN his kill.

BDA: Gamemaker for the death of Dawn Beckworth

There was a metric assload of excellent deaths this month, but Dawn's death was easily the saddest.

BKA: Adam Reeves. In my opinion it was the most interesting approach. I enjoyed reading it and think TBH did a really good job.

BDA: Gamemaker for Dawn Beckworth

It may have been done before and often, but this is the first death that I have read on here that has actually brought tears to my eyes. A brilliant and moving death scene, and despite how Bobby was my favourite character, GM just outdid himself on this, even if he is an evil bastard for making it so heartbreaking with her final words.

Voting for Adam Reeves on this one. The kill was well-written and also a bit disturbing. It was also the end to a very different sort of battle.

BDA

And I'll have to go with the death of Dawn Beckworth. Gamemaker, you are an evil man. This death was heart-wrenching, and was one of the few that actually made me cry a bit.

Best Kill:

My vote goes to Reeves for this one, too. I thought that the fight was well-written and fun to read. Plus, you have to appreciate the fact that his opponent's weapon was a freaking grenade launcher blowing up trees and he still beat her.

Best Death:

Sweet mother of crap this one was really hard to decide. Like everyone said before, the deaths this month were all really high quality. Dawn's death was definitely a moving one, but I think I'm going to vote for D/N and Johnny Lancer, which was equally as tearjerker-y, particularly hearing the voices of Mark and Dawn. But seriously, I liked almost all of the deaths this month and it pains me to have to pick just one :(

Best Kill Award: I'm voting for Lenny Priestly here. I really liked the narrative and thought process going on in this scene, his reaction and choices. I thought it was a good post that definately deserved a vote.

Best Death Award: This one goes to D/N for Johnny Lancer's death. It was moving, tragic, and all around a great post. I really like the voices he heard, it was a great idea. Like everyone else said this one was a hard choice, there's been a lo of good ones, but I think D/N just tipped the scale here.

Best Kill Award: Adam Reeves

Surprisingly, I didn't even read that death until I read this thread- I'd only read Kathy's kill by Adam. Now that I look over it, though, it was quite an interesting kill. It was very action orientated, and had that whole showdown atmosphere that I enjoyed. I wish I could give the award to both Mandy and TBH, as the kill was just the ending to a very good thread. But ultimately, since it's just best kill, I vote for TBH.

Best Death Award: Theseus for Elizabeth Priestly

Why? Simply put, I thought it was a nice ending to a storyline I really enjoyed. One of the things I thought Theseus did excellently was to show us all that the death doesn't have to simply be the end of the character. He introduced a few things about Liz, developing her a little more- and that made the death all the more tragic. I would have appreciated it a little more if she called Lenny out, but you can't get everything you want, now can you?

Best Kill Award: J.R. Rizzolo

The build up, from the chase across the island, really set the mood for the fight. The whole thing really felt like a life and death struggle, and the Riz pulled a really good kill out of his sock.

Beast Death Award: Choic for Morgan Acklund

Choic really did a great job with this one. I don't think anyone has shown the sheer panic that a person must undergo when caught in a dangerzone with nowhere to run. The use of the formatting was very creative, too. For me, he took this one, hands down.

BKA - Adam Reeves

I was going to vote for J.R. Rizzolo (since he really deserves this award) but when I realized that Adam had gotten a kill somewhere and when I went to go read that, I had to change my mind. It was very well done, and not even that but it was an awesome thread - a pulsepounding one that was very exciting. It's actually kind of a shame Amanda had to die but she went out with style.

BDA - Choic

James is by far the best roleplayer on the forum. He has been getting his characters picked off one by one, he's been busy with real life and yet he can still present us with the single emotional death in the entire game. When he started breaking out the formatting in full force, it was settled as to who I was going to vote for. I am serious - he is one of the greatest roleplayer's this forum has ever seen and it makes alot of sense for him to win this award.

You need to provide a valid reason for your vote, it isn't enough to just say what your choice is.
