Welcome to the Battle Royale survival program. Your class has been chosen as part of the BR program by the Republic of Greater East Asia. You will be an example to other students. While most (if not all of you) will die, you will serve your nation by instilling values of respect and obedience in your peers. Feel honored!
Now I'm going to call class roll. There are 13 of us here, including your great teacher. Simply call "/here" and I'll put you in on the class roster.
Class Roster: Boy A: BrownBear Boy B: deconduo Boy C:. LSB Boy D: Kitaman27 Boy E: Barundar Boy F: GGQ Girl A: darmousseh Girl B: coagulation Girl C: Mr.Wiggles Girl D Jackal58 Girl E: OriginalName Girl F: Chaoser
Teacher: Node
The rules are simple. You have 3 days to murder eachother. Around your necks are a collar, this collar will explode at the end of the third night. This collar is special and monitors your pulse and location. When you die, the collar shuts off. When all collars are shut off except for one, that final survivor wins the game and gets to live. If more than one player is alive at the end of night 3, all the collars will explode. So you better kill each other fast, ok?
When I'm done calling roll you'll get a bag with some item, a map, and a detailed list explaining how the game will work. You can ask me any questions you have but you better get moving quick or you'll probably be the first to die. I won't repeat things twice so please try to keep track of information yourself. Try your best.
I won't talk about the games mechanics almost ever in the thread. One entity will not be participating in the game directly and will have a separate win condition. The teacher can only post one "announcement" every day and night and it is done through me. You will not actually be posting in the game, but manipulating it from behind the scenes.
You will choose danger zones in an attempt to kill as many students as possible. You win if everyone dies. If somebody survives you lose. This is the "Teacher" role. If you DON'T want this role PM me and tell me, I don't want to ruin the game experience for you.
Alright, everyone is here then. Let me tell you something right away, Node is your teacher and you need to respect him. He'll be here in the school building making sure you all kill each other properly. When he makes announcements be and sure and listen ok?
Bags will be sent to you in PM. The rules of the game will be explained there. NOT here.
The day will begin when I announce it. When you get your bag, you better run. Good luck, don't hold back. Please kill each other quickly and with diligence.
When I'm done calling roll you'll get a bag with some item, a map, and a detailed list explaining how the game will work.
Or must I wait?
out of character/game text will appear in red from now on. the game will begin when everyone gets their bag. expect it in an hour or two, I have a bit of writing to do.

game doesn't work that way. you'll see when PM's are sent out. if you have OOG questions for me regarding mechanics ask via PM and not in the thread please. but wait until you have your bag to speculate as this game has nothing to do with mafia or normal mafia mechanics.
All the students ran from the building in a rush. There is an announcement over the loudspeaker. It echoes across the whole island.
The game begins! I don't expect a lot of people to die tonight and there won't be any danger zones. Maybe you should hide and get some rest. But if people die the better! Prove that you're worth something!"
In 24 hours (6 PM PST) the first morning will begin. All actions are PM'd to me.

Think of things posted in the thread as things said over the walkie talkie. You might announce you are in one zone but it's actually a lie or maybe you want to have your movements secret. All actions are to be PM'd to me.
There has been some confusion regarding this. On night 0 you may: move to any location 4 squares away from D4 and EITHER:
1)Hide and become unable to attack anyone or assume a defensive posture until the morning
2)Or do NOTHING and WAIT there until everyone has chosen a zone. Once everyone chooses a zone you will get a list of people in your zone THEN you can choose to attack, defend, or scavenge if you don't have a weapon. Understood?

If you say "defend" I'm ignoring it.
Switching mod color to blue for ease of reading.
Too bad, the red made you seem much more threatening. :p
Announcement: Item trading is removed from the game. You can not trade items. If you kill someone and already have 2 items you can drop one to pick up their item if you want.
Also you can not PM people in your zone if you are hiding. I've been asked that twice so I assume more people will ask, just wanna answer that in advance.

So what's the plan? I assume we want to try and take out the school/teacher somehow, while not fighting amongst ourselves. Unfortunately that's going to be hard to avoid due to greed etc. especially for people with guns.

I have reason to believe that the teacher is the enemy as well. However, it sounds like some of us are working for him so we have to be careful. f4 if you want to hear about the plan. If I die, one of the others in f4 is likely one of Node's assassins.

Go to B4 and then we can plan, kk?
Are you trying to steal my recruits? I'm on to you, teacher's pet!

I was here first. Your little 'plan' is trying to separate the SIFZ.
In the Manga, what happens was that someone tried to bomb he teacher and the school, but he was found and killed.

I'll be in f4 so we can talk via pm. I think I know what we are supposed to do with it.
To anyone thinking of attacking me, just a warning, I have a defensive item at my disposal.
Also this leads me to believe its kita that has the ability.
Good morning everybody! It seems everybody survived last night. I'm disappointed in you. You'll have to work harder.
Your teacher chose some danger zones for you. If you're hiding there you better get out quickly. Those zones are D3 and C2. If you're there, you better get out quickly or you'll be dead.
Your teacher will make an announcement later. Hopefully you guys will start killing each other off today. If nobody dies at the end of the afternoon, I'll make sure there are even more danger zones as a penalty. So kill each other fast!
You have 24 hours to talk and choose an action. PM your action to me. You can move/hide/defend/attack/scavenge. If your move is illegal I'll tell you and we can talk about it.
So, I think there is something special about the schoolhouse. Some people know about it, but not others. Some people probably also have other conditions to make them want to kill. So we can either start a bloodbath, or try to figure out what's going on.
Please note you can only PM people in your zone and you can NOT PM ANYONE IF YOU ARE HIDING. I have gotten a few PMs about this so I want to address that.
There are no roles in this game besides student and teacher.
I arrive today to find that not only have you not seized the opportunity to kill, some have outright rejected it, instead looking for a way to escape the situation as a whole. Clearly, you are not in the correct mindset to survive here. You. Are. Trapped. Your collars are shackles, and only I hold the key. And I have no intention to use it before the end of Day 3. If you do not kill, you will be destroyed by those with the backbone to do so. And if they do not kill, all of you will die in one beautiful burst. The sooner you realize this, the sooner you increase your chance of obtaining true glory.
But, I figure that maybe you're all a bit confused? Maybe you're having trouble finding each other? Allow me to give you a hint, so that you may better slaughter each other in glorious battle.
The two weakest players are located at B5. They encountered each other, and decided not to engage. Teach these cowards a lesson for me, and I may find myself less enthused to make what remains of your life miserable.
And students...
Don't disappoint me. The consequences for failure are most severe.

hahahahaha wow. Those guys are going to be hunted.
PLEASE SPARE ME MASTER! I AM NO MATCH FOR YOUR GREATNESS. ACCEPT MY MINION WIGGLES AS A SACRIFICE. I WILL NEVER THINK TO QUESTION YOU AGAIN. PLEASE SHOW MERCY!
I would like to mention that if you are moving from one area to another, you are vulnerable in that zone.
For instance let us say that I am at B2 and want to move to C2.
B2: Me BloodyC0bbler Qatol
C2: Bill Murray Incognito
I move from B2 to C2 and during that time BloodyC0bbler attacks me with a rifle. I die because I can't defend myself while moving.
I move from B2 to C2 and both Qatol and BloodyC0bbler defend. Then I'm OK.
B2: BloodyC0bbler Qatol
C2: Me Bill Murray Incognito
Just so you're aware there is danger in moving. If you come out of hiding to move you make yourself seen to people in your zone as well. Plan your movement carefully.

I'm disappointed in you. No one died this morning. Hopefully you will start to find and kill each other faster. Your teacher selected some danger zones but I'm really upset so I went ahead and picked one as well. B4 and B5 are now dangerous, you'll have to move out of those locations or you'll die.
Also I'm going to make G4 dangerous. Please remember all of this.
If no one dies, there are going to be even more danger zones. Do you really want half of the island gone this early in the game? Stop being so disrespectful and start killing each other please.
It is now morning 1. Your information will be refreshed and you may consider new actions.

Remove 2 rows and 2 columns. Make them all danger zones but with a free one time movement for people in those zones. That will help speed things up. Remove A and G and 1 and 8.

the map will be bigger, but there will be a lot more people.
I'll start off the night by reading a list of the dead: Chaoser
How disappointing. Only one? You can do better than that! Kill each other quickly tonight. B6 and A6 are danger zones now. I hope you're keeping track! If there are a lot of kills tonight I'll be very happy, so please murder each other now.

If you have already sent me a PM with your action, please send me a new one. From now on only respond with your action when prompted. This makes it easier to sort. I will need a cohost for the real game because there is a lot of organizational work and that is my weakness as a host.

So that people like me can read it, and think it one of the funniest threads in all TL. Please, don't stop talking publicly, it ruins the game for those of us who are actually playing it... 0_o.
Dr.H sent out PM invitations to his favorite players (me, obviously) and put us in the game all secret like. We use a three dimensional coordinate system, so you'll probably not run into us, but if you do, be our friends, because we can see everything.
You're right about killing the teacher. But you have to go through one of us to do it. For instance, my super power is the ability to go invisible, or destroy the teacher's remote. I'll be in B-4-%, if anyone dares to believe me.
P.S. LSB is after you Wiggles. Watch your back(s).

i think the main problem people are having is they are dissociated with the map because its so big. also it doesnt help that you can only pm people in areas with you but you have no idea where anyone is. yet if you try to initiate contact by talking in thread you leave yourself completely vulnerable to anyone who sees where your planning on meeting up at.
this is a good concept but needs a little refinement.
i still cant believe i managed to get myself killed. i told everyone in thread i was moving south But actually sent orders to move NORTH. for some reason i started thinking i actually moved south. was pretty confused when i got killed.

I approve of this.
Also, you can't just convert things to binary, you have to take it a step further every time. Eventually, no one will be able to keep up except for two people. Then you have a private line of comunication between each other.
Better: if you can PM people, then give them a decription key, and then when you move away from them you just encode your messages and post them on the main forum. Come on people, be creative. I'm positive there are ways that you can bend this to your advantage.
If it's too late to pm someone, make a key that uses some sort of common knowledge. For instance, take the first six chars of the first PM you ever sent that person, then use that as a encryption key. Information was transmitted by radio during the war, it's not like people couldn't listen in, they just couldn't understand it. Same thing with public forums. It just is a bit more annoying to people who can't understand it.

Go go go!
That only works if you have a first pm to begin with. I'm still waiting to get in contact with anyone

The PM doesn't have to be from this game... For instance, you are playing in Orgah, right? How many people here are also playing there...

That would be cheating imo.
Using PM's from other games, or encoding messages? Both are pretty sketchy. I just thought that they were funny ideas, because they could actually work in this game, unlike all other games where you either have PM's or you don't.
Also, please don't beat me mercilessly Dr.H. I'll leave the thread if you want me to...
I'm ending this game because people ignored my PMs or aren't acting.
There is nothing in the school. It is not possible to enter it or kill the teacher. The game was pointless because this map is too large for 12 people. The solution is more people or smaller map or more danger zones NOT universal PMs. I don't even know why you people are sending encoded messages.
I'll post an example PM that explains the rules and the teacher PM.
Inside you find a map in a ziploc bag with a marker inside, a notebook, a brochure, a walkie-talkie, and something else larger. You reach for the larger object and pull it out.
You have a Type 77 Pistol. It's an old chinese model and you find you have quite a bit of ammunition. This should be useful. The gun has a sticker with the number "3" printed on it. You peel it off.
You open your brochure. The brochure says in big letters "Welcome to the BR Program!"
It's pretty thick and it regards rules of the game. You open to the first part which explains the cycles of time.
"The BR program will last for 3 days. Each day has three cycles each lasting 24 hours: morning, afternoon, and night. Every morning, the people who died during the previous three cycles are announced. Please kill a lot of people! Every cycle, new danger zones are added. I'll tell you about those later though. As the game progresses there will be a lot more danger zones!" You wonder what a danger zone is and find a definition in your brochure.
"A danger zone is announced at the beginning of each cycle. Mark it on your map! Anyone who is in a danger zone during a cycle shifts will die via explosion. So please keep travelling. You can not travel through or to danger zones or you will die. It is your responsibility to mark them on your map so please pay attention and take good notes!"
Sounds like a pain in the ass. You have a map and a marker so keeping track should be pretty easy. Hopefully you don't get stuck.
You read the part of the brochure titled "actions": During each cycle you can take 1 actions: Move Attack Scavenge Defend Hide
Move allows you to move to one other location on the grid that is adjacent (diagnoal is fine). For instance from A1 to A2. You can move twice but that will take up both your actions. You will be assumed to automatically defend when you get to the new location but you will not be hidden and players can still attack you.
If you attack another player, I hope you have a better weapon! If you do, they die and you can choose to take their item. You don't have a lot of space in your bag so you can probably only take 1 other item with you. So choose carefully! You can discard one or choose to trade with another player if you wish. Forming alliances is ok in this game, but remember everyone dies at the end. Keeping friends is foolish!
When you defend you get extra points that help you fend off attackers. It'll be +1, you might get bonuses if you're in a special environment too. I'll talk about that later.
When you hide, you will not appear on the list of anyone in your zone. Oh I forgot to mention, every player is PM'd a list of all the players in their zone except ones who are hiding. Maybe you can set up a great ambush or avoid a merciless killer. Use this tactic smartly to survive."
You don't really get the thing about better weapons or points but you find a part in the brochure that seems to explain it.
"Each weapon has a value. See that sticker on your weapon? That's it's value. If you attack someone whose weapon has a smaller value you'll win and kill them! But sometimes things can change that.
Shooting weapons are weak in the forest, but melee weapons are strong! Defending players get an extra point. So if your gun is a 3 and their Axe is a 2, as long as that player defends it'll just be a stalemate. If his gun is a 3 and he gets the defense advantage, unfortunately he'll kill you pretty easily. So be careful about attacking people! Try to find out who is weak!
Another thing, on the beach no one can defense and melee weapons get a -1. Ranged weapons get +2, they're really strong in such an open area! The grasslands are neutral, no bonuses or penalties there. Of course you can't enter the school building (probably). I wouldn't suggest trying, your collar will be exploded immediately. Think of it as a danger zone."
Hm. That seems simple enough.
Also, you can scavenge! If you do that you'll be totally defenseless but you can get any items from dead people that weren't taken. Try to manipulate players into dying and playing a game of defense and hiding instead. You can't attack or defend so searching from items will be vital for you. Maybe there are things hidden on the map. If you find an empty area try scavenging and then hiding!" You hold your walkie talkie. It's mentioned in the brochure.
"You'll also have a walkie talkie. This way you can all communicate to each other. This is a new part of the BR program, so use it wisely. Of course you can not private message other players unless they are in your zone. You can private message anyone as long as they are in your zone. Otherwise you must communicate publicly which can sometimes be a bore. If you're hiding you'll probably want to be quiet."
You look at your map.
(map not here)
It has a note. "A zone must have at least 3 pieces of land on it to be inhabitable."
You remember running really far from the school. You were able to move up to 4 zones it seems. What zone are you in now?
(You can move 4 zones on night 0. Tell me a zone 4 spaces away from the school "D4) and that'll be your starting position. That will count as 1 action. You can choose to hide straight away or wait to attack or defend. If you have a really good weapon you might want to wait and attack.") Also you should keep in mind whatever happens in your zone will be seen by people who hid. If you are busy attacking/moving/defending you can't pay much attention but if you think you killed someone without beeing seen, someone might have been watching from a tree or bush. Just be careful ok? Also remember if people ask what you have you should be careful. They might want to steal your item and kill you! Good luck and be sure to kill a lot of people.
If you have any questions ask me via PM not in the thread.
Your data: Zone: ??? Item 1: Type 77 Pistol Item 2: ??? Status: Alive
You have a Radar. This thing tells you where everyone is located! Even hiding people. There is a note on the radar. "If I hear you spoil all that information on the walkie, I'll explode your collar." Shit, well you can't spread the wealth. But you can still make use of this and if you whisper to other students, maybe the program admins won't hear you. You put it back in your bag.
No weapon though so I couldn't kill anyone If anyone had attacked me I would have died because I can't even defend myself.
I guessed who the people were by their actions/behaviour in the thread. I was only given locations, not names.
I also had to guess the movements so I'm sure some of them are wrong. Most of them are logical though.

What the hell is this thing? "You have a Strange DeviceIt's sort of like a small metal stick but it has a node on the end of it like it jacks into a computer or something. You don't really know what to do with it. If you study the device you might figure it out eventually. For now you put it in your pocket."

Can't say on the basis that I might host another game in the future with modifications.

Then I'm going to continue to assume it's a cattle prod.
