Discuss Underground: Battle Royale [M-LVS]

[Esther]

[SIZE=1]Welcome to the Underground thread for my new RP Battle Royale! Here you're going to find some information that you'll find GREATLY useful in the game. So without further adieu, here it is!

[FONT=Georgia][B][CENTER]Survival Kits[/CENTER][/B]

Each character has been provided with a "Survival Kit". In this kit, you will find a weapon, map, food, and water. At the beginning of the game, I will PM you your weapon and map. Remember, you won't always get lucky with a weapon! You might get lucky -- or you might not. You have to be creative with what you get. If you kill another player, you are able to take that persons weapon.

[FONT=Georgia][CENTER][B]Killing/Dying[/B][/CENTER]

I will be deciding who is going to die and who survives. NPCs should be killed off first, and then the actual players (you guys) can start fighting each other. When fighting one another, leave the battle at a point where either one of you can die. I will then PM the person who dies so they can create their own "death post". How will I decide who dies? I will be looking in the following areas to see who did the best:

[*]Good Technique
[*]Realistc

[B][CENTER]NPCs[/CENTER][/B]

[FONT=Georgia]NPCs will be able to be killed at anytime. There will be 21 boys and 21 girls (including you) in the game. You are also able to take their weapon for yourself[/FONT].[/SIZE]

I actually had the idea to create a BR RPG after I finished the book and movie. I settled on a fan fic story using students that I know personally. Still, I commend you on your effort for this blood-bath! I just have one question: It's not going to be exactly like the book is it? What twists do you have in mind, if any? And are you going to allow only one to survive or will it be like the book in the sense that two will possibly escape? If you need any ideas, I have plenty so PM me.

[SIZE=1]Something you need to watch out for is the amount of people you have. I started a BR roleplay about a year ago and only about 8 people signed up. Now, because of the way BR works, not all those people would be working together. Having no interraction and repetitively killing can get old fast and the RP may die out before it gets into full swing.

I think the best way for you to make this work is to have a lot of twists and turns up your sleeves so people don't get bored. Well done, though, it'll be interesting to see how this goes.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Interesting, most interesting.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Jamie has a very good point, despite looking to be a lot of fun, the problem with Battle Royale type RPGs is their limiting nature. People will find themselves struggling to keep themselves alive, while at the same time not slowing the RPG to a stand-still. That said I'm definitely going to sign up, and I hope this will turn out to be great.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]No, it will not be exactly like the book. If anything, it will be the complete opposite. But of course, there will be some similarities between the two as it being that this RP is based off of the manga/film/novel.

I was hoping that there will only be one survivor, but there might be a twist in the end where more then one escape? You never know. =]

Twists? Of course there will be twists! But I can't tell you them, or they wouldn't be twists now would they? [/SIZE]

[SIZE=1]Mhm, I was actually thinking the same exact thing when I was deciding whether or not to make the RP. I wasn't really sure if there would be enough time for different things except killing to take place.

I was hoping, if the players co-operate, that there will actually be more of a plot line that unfolds itself rather than killing 24/7. We'll just have to see how it goes.

And thank you for those of you going to sign up, I hope it goes well. [/SIZE]
