Battle Royale V: Interest poll

[RoadKill]

Oh sorry, in previous games they called it was called Survival, but in the later games we changed it to Stealth, so its basically the same thing.

[CountArach]

I'd be up for this.

[Tratorix]

Definitely in.

[RoadKill]

If I can get 20 players, I'd be glad to host. It would also be much less hectic then the 30 players slaughter fest we had in the old games.

It would also be awesome if you guys can give me some advice to change up the game a little, what features do u want added, what features do you want removed?

[Greyblades]

How about letting us make up our characters stats? Maybe give us 15 points to distribute between the 3 main stats(im guessing their 1-10) and 5 points per weapon stat?

That would ruin the fun of anticipating good roles.

Giving people horrible stats and arming them with a paper fan is the best. You might be a great candidate Greyblades.

But seriously when i send out roles I try to balance them out, you may get horrible stats but awesome weapons, or maybe you get horrible weapons but awesome stats, or maybe your character is totally crap, but has a special ability. Every character gets some sort of specialty, maybe you were a medical intern and can preform surgery. An example would be the previous game, where in the contestants all wanted to survive they had to raid the school, and take the helicoptor, and only one character could fly one, so he was essential. Stuff like that, makes the game much more interesting.

I have yet to get a particually good role in a game so I cant say I understand that.
I would suggested that you give the ability to customise to the players who dont get a special role but its your call.

Oh goodie "Watch out or I'll give you a paper cut the size of ATPG's writeups".

I don't need any weapons. I'm Yoda "Bowser" Norris. I'm indestructible, and there's zero chance of me being the first to be massacred. I'll take on everyone single handed using nothing more than my fists of fury.

[Cultured Drizzt fan]

until you get shot that is. or perhaps blown up, I hear that is also a Likely possibility.

Really? I thought that you would be the more "Talk them to death" Fighter.

[Chaotix]

Hehehe...

*imagines setting some C4 traps and giggling as unsuspecting enemies are blown to bits.*

I'm in, BTW!

Don't tempt me.

[A Very Super Market]

I'd play in this. Although I highly suspect I won't make it.

[Death is yonder]

I would play in this, have time for it too. Unless the Loooooooooooooooooooooooong wait of the list means it appears when I'm having yet more exams.

[RoadKill]

It'll start once my exams are over as well, which is still a couple of weeks, which is probablly when everyone else's are done, in the mean time I can prepare write-ups and character roles. I seem to have enough people to play (21 players) which is not bad.

[Caius]

I'll try to be active. And to not to declare that Im in a foribidden zone.

[atheotes]

sounds interesting... depending on when the game starts and hom much time i have i might be IN...

[Greyblades]

Whoops. I forgot to say in earlier.
In.

[Chaotix]

I just watched the Japanese movie a few days ago. So sick...

My favorite part:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

When Nanahara is taken to the lighthouse and nursed back to health by the group of girls, but one of them doesn't trust him. She tries to poison his food, but winds up killing one of her friends- this throws the rest into an insane killing frenzy!

[Greyblades]

I started watching afew minutes ago.
I dont know why but so far I'm starting to like the villian teacher more than the kids,


And then he blew out that kids neck collar....
...Nope still like him.

[RoadKill]

Yah, the movie is great, there is also a sequal to the first so be sure to watch that too, because unlike most games this game will be more like the second movie.

Takeshi Kitano? His a champ

[Greyblades]

Well that was an pretty happy-ish ending considering the rest of it. The best part was when Takeshi stands up after being shot witrh an uzi. Gotta love a villian that can survive that without so much as a limp.

[Splitpersonality]

On chaotix's advice, and a mutual friend of ours in school, I watched this movie yesterday.

It's possibly the greatest thing I've ever seen, it combines all of my loves. Japanese kids, fierce competition, sadistic kids with uzis, large explosions, blood, and crazy weapons.

My favorite part:

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

When the girl with the Kama walks in all friendly then slits the other girl's throat. It was just so random, I had to laugh a little bit.

Needless to say, I would be amazingly interested in a game based on this!


On a side note, this game as amazing potential as a gametype, and I'd really like to see it developed.

Whomever is hosting may need to have a couple of backup hosts incase RL pulls them away, to keep the game alive. Because if I'm playing in this, I want to see it to the end!

[RoadKill]

Interest rate is pretty high, so looks like I'll go on with this. Any suggestions for new features to make it more interesting.

[GeneralHankerchief]

Haven't seen the movie, but my reading of the book is what inspired the series. Quite gory/awesome, although the translation leaves something to be desired in parts. I definitely recommend it.

[Splitpersonality]

Edited my wants in my last post.

Perhaps secondary hosts incase for some reason you cannot continue hosting, they can finish up the game. This would keep it from deadlocking like the last few.

Besides that maybe a little less ranged weapons, and more useless iteams. Quote unquote, useless. Stuff that isn't a weapon but can still work as intended, such as the bionoculars.

[Chaotix]

Someone should randomly be given a sniper rifle, too. Maybe with limited ammunition, though. And while we're at it, throw in a grenade launcher!

[Splitpersonality]

You say limited ammo, that would be interesting too.

Like "You have enough food for 4 turns, enough water for 3 and enough ammo for 3 more actions" or something like that.

[RoadKill]

Yes, players have had rocket launchers in past game, and yes there fortunatly was limited ammunition. When I write each write up I give information on food, water, ammunition. quiality of weapons, health, and exhuastion, all of this was included in past games so don't worry about it, ask any past participants, write-ups can sometimes hit a couple of pages for a single player, depending on events occuring. I also don't just decrease ammunition or food or etc for no reason, the write-ups are extremely detailed and realistic.

For example in a past game, a player (I believe it was GH) had extremely low strength but was equipped with a chainsaw, he ambushed a player at a church killing him, but because he had low strength he ended up cutting his own leg off too. So things like this happens, so don't think just cause you got a sniper rifle you'll be more dominant, you'll probablly miss 80% of your shots with low strength (which is factored into weapon coordination as well). So depending on your stats, one should choose weapons wisely.

I would also like to mention to the new players, that you have a choice to act friendly as well, just indicate that in your orders to me, and you can possibly form an alliance or friendship with the players you meet, which happened frequently in past games (half ending in betrayals)
