2014 BATTLE ROYALE SUGGESTIONS

[memeroyale]

From Twitter and the confessional:
- FLASHLIGHTS, book/box of matches
- More zones+buildings blowing up (and forbidden zone situation threads [supplies are left in the middle of forbidden zones, etc.])
- Activity check starts at 6,000, inactives blown up at 7,000
- More frequent situation threads (two a day?), continuity in threads (barn thread --> burning barn thread)
- Collar explosions should all be the same size (like in the movie? bigger explosions?)
- Deadcounts more organized+include everyone killed in the last 24 hours
- Villain/Boss RPed more seriously
- No children+animals

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO COMMENT HERE WITH ANY SUGGESTIONS YOU HAVE, I'd love to hear them, seriously! ouo

- Kids/Animals blow up by 9000 comments if they're not already dead
- Anons should have at least three or four links for the activity check, and put themselves in a situation thread where they can be killed at least once

That first one seems unfair. :| Why shouldn't they be allowed to win?

[(Anonymous)]

Stricter activity checks. Characters should only qualify as active if they've rped with three different characters. Threads should only count as active if they continue for at least six tag turns and if they have a thread with in the first few days of the BR beginning.

The Villain should be more involved, it would be cool if the Boss secretly had a participant chosen in random to do their bidding/evil for them or something.

Heaven/Hell threads would be entertaining too.

And just a suggestion for the muns but: Deaths should be decided randomly with an online coin toss only to give more surprising twists. It felt like threads were really predictable.

+1

The meme is a silly place and the BR shouldn't be reserved for serious accounts only or exclude children just because some people are uncomfortable with it. Anyone should be allowed to enter and win, provided their character can do so without godmodding.



Also -1 to the second suggestion. Everyone should have the same requirement for the activity check. Anon discrimination on an anon meme is bad, m'kay.

[(Anonymous)]

maybe the BR could have it's own comm/post on memeroyale and just end when the meme itself maxes? i.e. meme maxes at 10000 comments, BR RP continues in its own post as muns finish up threads and a winner (or not) is determined?

that'd give more space for RP + finishing threads and normal RP + commentary + etc. could continue on the meme without spam being an issue.

Re: +1

[(Anonymous)]

and then you get an anon replying with two links where they can't even be killed.

[(Anonymous)]

at least it's better than the "no children + animals" suggestion

[(Anonymous)]

-1 to the last bit. I don't think all battles should be decided randomly because let's face it, a human character with a gun is going to win against a cat, and someone completely healthy shouldn't lose against someone who can hardly move.

However, I would like to see a lot less planning going on behind the scenes. If two characters run into each other and fight, the victor should be determined by how the fight plays out, not decided ahead of time. I think it's really weird to plan it out when they entered knowing their character was probably going to die eventually.

This is more of a suggestion for the RPers themselves than for the BR though.

Re: +1

And players with accounts can't do the same thing?

[(Anonymous)]

-1 to the last one

"It felt like threads were really predictable."

that's because they were planned for the sake of continuity, in most cases.

2P!america made me really angry/disappointed/offended for a lot of reasons. Bringing a troll that told a new rper to "Fuck off" and spammed the meme bitterly as a butthurt troll was a terrible, terrible, terrible, terrible, terrible, terrible idea.

More common sense next time. We really didn't need the BR to be really forced, "ironic funneh XD". It would be nice if the Boss was something the participants actually feared and hated, who played a real, threatening part of the event and made their presence known. I really liked the previous villain better, the eccentric woman with the smiley faces.


Gordon was a good idea with really poor execution too. I just wasn't feeling it.

The Br_Undertaker was the highlight of the event. He fits in perfectly and was really entertaining and a nice touch to the event.

then require the same for players with accounts.

hell

am I the only one who remembers Big Brother Anon

we need more villains like that

Re: +1

Then that's fine.

As long as the rules are the same for everyone and anons/animals/kids aren't being singled out just because OP DOESN'T LIKE THEM WAHHH

- FLASHLIGHTS, book/box of matches
I think flashlights would be a good idea, maybe. Matches not so much since I think it'd be taken advantage of and a lot of things would end up burning too easily. Make-shift fires are possible, so giving away matches would make things too easy. I personally would only consider matches if they were used as a weapon...


- More zones+buildings blowing up (and forbidden zone situation threads [supplies are left in the middle of forbidden zones, etc.])
I like this. I actually added more buildings to the map but it looked like it wasn't really enough? So much empty space... Next year we can consider this, and also add situational threads based on the forbidden zones as well.

Activity check starts at 6,000, inactives blown up at 7,000
I sort of agree a bit since I feel like we /just/ did an activity check and the meme's already near maxing.

More frequent situation threads (two a day?), continuity in threads (barn thread --> burning barn thread)
I thought it was already 2 a day? But I like the continuity idea.

Deadcounts more organized+include everyone killed in the last 24 hours
The problem is that it's hard to keep up if we keep adding killed people into the deadcount graphic, since it's made a few hours before the announcement goes up. The person who posts the deadcounts has to stay past midnight to post them, so it'd be really inconvenient.

Villain/Boss RPed more seriously
I agree.

No children+animals
I disagree. I feel like BR should be open to any rper.

[(Anonymous)]

weren't you 2pamerica though...

[(Anonymous)]

Lmao

[(Anonymous)]

wasn't she?!

so she's saying she should take it more seriously?

[mari]

Yes, but it doesn't mean I liked rping him. He stressed me out at first but then it started making me anxious so yeah.

Because we didn't have too much time to plan, I feel like things could've gone better boss-wise. The fault's all mine though.

[(Anonymous)]

>>Yes, but it doesn't mean I liked rping him. He stressed me out at first but then it started making me anxious so yeah

?????????????????

So why did you play it. Why did you spam and troll the meme. You should have kept that account deleted and never showed it again nor confessed to rping it. You're a piece of shit.

[mari]

I didn't know I told a new rper that? The point of 2p was to just be incredibly annoying and full of himself.

But yeah, sorry about offending anybody. Like I said, there wasn't much time to plan since I was in LA /n\

As for BB, maybe we can do something similar. Idk, planning needs to happen honestly. Thankfully we have a full year.

[mari]

Because it was part of the plot, Anon. And while stressing, it didn't make me anxious until after the reveal.

If I'm a piece of shit, then okay.

[(Anonymous)]

were you drunk or something?

[mari]

No, just typed really weird.

[(Anonymous)]

"I didn't know I told a new rper that?"???
