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!

A respost of my votes:

BKA: Omar Burton for the killing of Warren Brown. This one gets my attention not for any particular detail, but that it's striking in its suddenness. It wasn't a rolled death, meaning nobody was really looking out for it, and it wasn't one of the stock collar explosions. It looks like we could see a potential teaming of two characters, and then... no. Down goes Warren. Even better, the future events of the thread all revolve around Warren's death, aiding in the significance of what just happened, and helping Omar's killing of Warren to have a long-lasting effect.

BDA: Paige Strand. Many of the deaths claim to be a 'tear jerker', but this is the only one that caused me to sit down after reading it and go ".... damn...". It's just that powerful, in the way that it's written; it doesn't wear out its welcome with melodramatic flair, it doesn't come off as narmy, it's just really, REALLY depressing.

BKA: Omar Burton for killing Warren Brown

This kill was a good example of how spontaneity can be used in a positive manner. The scene begins in such a way that you're lead to expect absolutely nothing that poignant from it, and then Omar's sudden (and immediate) change of heart manages to draw you in and spit you out just as quickly, leaving you pondering about how something that effective was delivered that swiftly. Solid writing on both handlers' parts made that (and the rest of the thread) a very enjoyable read.

BDA: KillerVole for the death of Everett Taylor

Every other death this month paled in comparison to Everett's, for me. The rhythm that Toben established in sporadically describing Everett's fragmented thoughts (in a sort of scatterbrained way), yet still managing to make them flow eerily well, was drawn like an artist paints a brush stroke. It was absolutely poetic. I could honestly see myself mimicking and connecting my thought patterns the exact same way if I was to die that slowly and painfully. It was pure magic.

Not to mention, it didn't need cheap ploys or fake, overstated sentiments or allusions in order to earn its merit, and for that, I throw KillerVole many, MANY props. He well deserves that award.

BKA: Nick Reid: Come on, I mean hurling a molotov in to a person and watching them burst in to flames is just a cut above the normal stab / shooting we see on SotF. You have to give it to him for not only the aim of the grenade but the bizarre choices that led up to it.


KDA: KillerVole (Everett Taylor): Honestly Toben's writing is a cut above the bulk of people here. Not only does the death give a good feel for the character but it is VERY consistent with the previous portrayal of Everett. He doesn't use flashbacks or song lyrics to expand his post and it comes across effortless and somehow flows perfectly. There is nothing wrong with using the narrative tools mentioned above but the fact that Toben can convey the same information without needed to use said devices speaks volumes about his skill. Hands down no competition.

BKA: Giving this one to Kris for a reason one of the above posters noted: Danya is the kind of sadistic bastard who would give the prize to someone who REALLY wouldn't want to be the one to get it. Thaaat's our Danya!

BDA: Everett, for the many reasons that everyone else has kindly laid out already. :3

This vote will be counted in this vote, but in the future, you must elaborate upon why you've voted. "Ditto" is not good enough.
