Facility History
1) The location being used for this Program is home to an abandoned military training facility out in the desert. While it was in operation, the facilities were used for survival training. Its isolated location was perfect for such training, but it hasn’t been used for years now. Once the Program was started, plans were made to use the facility as a staging location. The same isolation that made the facililty a good place for the military now makes for a place where Battle Royale can be played without disruptions.

II) Participants Roles and Win Conditions
A) Players may now choose their own destinies in this game – no more random selection of abilities. At the start of the game, all players have the opportunity to take a lover or declare a rival. Some players might be lone wolves looking out for only themselves. All roles offer their own selection of special abilities to take to the game; even dedicated students have their own abilities to take. Upon signing up, PM your role choice to Kitano. If you wish to be a Lover, you may change your choice to lover upon a PM agreement with you and your partner before Day 0 begins. Once all players have chosen a role, all players are divided randomly into schools; roles that players select have no bearing on what school a player gets assigned to.
1) Dedicated Student – Play the part of an average student, dragged into the game against your will. While you may not have any extreme advantages over the rest of the field, together with your teammates or other allies, you may stand a chance of survival. Just beware of lone wolves and other possible traitors...
2) Lovers – There may be someone involved in Battle Royale that you cannot bear to be separated from. The relationship between the two of you will provide you with strength to survive the game as you look out for each other’s safety. But if you lose your partner, there may be consequences. A pair of players may take the Lovers role by mutual agreement in PM to Kitano. Both players must agree to this in a PM.
3) Lone Wolf – There are certain exceptional students who have no need for allies that will only slow their progress, students that are in the game only for themselves. Some students have been rumored to sign themselves or their own schools up for The Program just for the thrill. These dangerous players will not stop until they stand alone at the game’s end. These requests are granted on a percentage chance. If you are not granted the request, you will be given a Dedicated Student role.

III) Participant Rules and Mechanics
A) Overview
1) Players have a variety of actions they can take each day of the game. Daily actions have been split into two phases: Action and Movement. In the Action phase, players can search the area, make attacks against other players, or try to discern other players’ roles. In the Movement phase, players will have a number of different options, from regular movement, running between areas, or digging in ones defenses. Unlike previous games, players can act in both phases.
2) Normally, players may hold up to three items in their inventories at a time. Item management can be performed during turns, usually as free actions. Trading and dropping items will never take up a person’s other actions. Some items may be used automatically or as a free action, but others are required to be used in place of or part of a regular Action.
3) Players also have the usual voting abilities, but their effects have been slightly changed. Three types of votes are in place: one will mark other players with a reward for elimination, another will drop a bonus item into a selected zone, and the last will select zones for closure.

Free Actions1) Manage Inventory – You may pick up items you find in an area or drop them from your held inventory. You will have exclusive control of these items until the end of the day – nobody will be able to find or take items not in your possession until then. However, items that are not in your inventory at the end of the day may be lost to other players even if you remain in the zone.
2) Use Item – Certain items are freely usable, taking no regular action time to execute. See specific item descriptions for details.
3) Trade Item – Items may be traded between players freely or given from one player to another. To make a trade, one player should PM their trade partner and Kitano the details of the deal (what items are being given/traded). The second player should verify the trade to Kitano and the original player. When both players have agreed to the trade, consider it done. If a player is only giving an item to another, consent is not required. If the person receiving an item is now above their carry limit, it will be considered a dropped item unless the player updates their inventory in a PM to Kitano. If the person receiving the item does not want it, they should submit a PM to give it back or give it to someone else.

If the person receiving the item does not want it, they should submit a PM to give it back or give it to someone else.
C) Action Phase – In the Action Phase, players choose one of the following actions: (Default is Defend)
1) Attack – The most basic action, you will Attack a target with a selected weapon or default unarmed attack; some weapons provide multiple hit attempts that can be distributed between multiple targets. Every attack has a certain probability of success depending on weapon type, equipment, and abilities. Each hit attempt has a maximum hit chance of 95% and minimum hit chance of 5%. Attacks are normally resolved in the order of Ranged first, Melee second, and Explosives last; this may be modified depending on zone. If you kill your opponent, you will take their items, as long as you don’t move out of the zone. Otherwise, you will take as much as you can carry randomly from their inventory and move as normal. Bonuses to hit and dodge are calculated as products instead of sums. For example, if a player has a bonus 10% to hit with an attack that has a base 60% chance to hit, the attack chance will be 60% + (60%*10%) = 66% or a bonus +6% chance to hit. Multipliers for hit and dodge use the base attack chance. So if the target of the above attack also has a 20% dodge modifier, it means they reduce the chance to hit by 60%*20% = 12%. Overall, this attack has a 54% chance of hitting (60% + 6% - 12%).
2) All-Out Attack – For those who want to aggressively hunt their foes, the All-Out Attack will allow players to make 50% more hit attempts, rounded up. For example, an attack with one hit per round normally (including the default attack) will make two hit attempts instead; an attack with three hits per round normally will make five hit attempts instead. One-use items cannot be used with an All-Out Attack action. All attacks made during an All-Out Attack suffer a -10% Hit Penalty. If you make an All-Out Attack, you may not make a Run or Hold Ground action in the Movement Phase; you may only Move or take no action in that phase.
3) Aimed Attack – For those who wish to take care in making sure they hit their target. One-use items cannot be used with an Aimed Attack action. If you make an Aimed Attack, you may not make a Run or Hold Ground action in the Movement Phase; you may only Move or take no action in that phase. The Aimed Attack action works as follows:
Melee - +20% bonus to hit, maximum damage is reduced by 1. Example, the Knife will no longer have the ability to hit for 2, it will only hit for 1; the Metal Pipe can no longer hit for 3 damage, instead it’ll hit for 1-2. If the roll comes up for the maximum damage, it instead becomes the lower amount (if you hit for 3 with the metal pipe, instead it will deal 2 damage).
Ranged - +20% bonus to hit, -50% attacks rounded up. The Handgun will now only be able to make 2 attacks, but with the 20% bonus which will be 60%+(60%*20%) = 72% chance to hit.
Explosives - +20% bonus to hit primary target, -20% chance to hit secondary targets in splash damage. Example, the Grenade now has a 70%+(70%*20%) = 84% chance to hit the primary target, but the secondary targets now have a 50% - (50%*20%) = 40% chance of being hit.
4) Set Trap – This special action allows you to set up a Trap from your inventory in your current area. Since this will take time and concentration, you will be unable to make a Run action in the Movement Phase.
5) Use Item – Other items that cannot be used in a free action may be used in the Action Phase.
6) Defend – If you need to defend against an attack, the Defend action will allow you to increase your chances of avoiding attacks. You gain a -10% Dodge Bonus against all attacks made against you.
7) Cover – You can also defend other people from attacks with a Cover action. Any attacks made against a specified target will instead be directed against you. You gain a -15% Dodge Bonus against all attacks made against you or your target. Two (or more) players may Cover each other to essentially Defend themselves with a -15% Bonus rather than the -10% Bonus of the regular Defend action.
8) Search – With a Search action, you attempt to find useful items that may be hidden within an area. You will also have a higher chance of obtaining any dropped items other players have left behind and a higher chance of obtaining Reward Vote items, by counting yourself as if you were two players.
9) Analyze – You may investigate your fellow players with an Analyze action. The specified target’s role and school will be learned, though specifics about their health and special abilities will remain hidden. You will also learn what concealed items that player may be carrying. You will also gain a -20% Dodge Bonus against that specific player’s attacks against you, but not against other players’ attacks.
10) Heal – You may yourself or another player in the same zone 1 Health Point (cannot exceed maximum). Since this will take time and concentration, you will be unable to make a Run action in the Movement Phase when using a Heal action.
2) All-Out Attack – For those who want to aggressively hunt their foes, the All-Out Attack will allow players to make 50% more hit attempts, rounded up. For example, an attack with one hit per round normally (including the default attack) will make two hit attempts instead; an attack with three hits per round normally will make five hit attempts instead. One-use items cannot be used with an All-Out Attack action. All attacks made during an All-Out Attack suffer a -10% Hit Penalty. If you make an All-Out Attack, you may not make a Run or Hold Ground action in the Movement Phase; you may only Move or take no action in that phase.
3) Aimed Attack – For those who wish to take care in making sure they hit their target. One-use items cannot be used with an Aimed Attack action. If you make an Aimed Attack, you may not make a Run or Hold Ground action in the Movement Phase; you may only Move or take no action in that phase. The Aimed Attack action works as follows:
Melee - +20% bonus to hit, maximum damage is reduced by 1. Example, the Knife will no longer have the ability to hit for 2, it will only hit for 1; the Metal Pipe can no longer hit for 3 damage, instead it’ll hit for 1-2. If the roll comes up for the maximum damage, it instead becomes the lower amount (if you hit for 3 with the metal pipe, instead it will deal 2 damage).
Ranged - +20% bonus to hit, -50% attacks rounded up. The Handgun will now only be able to make 2 attacks, but with the 20% bonus which will be 60%+(60%*20%) = 72% chance to hit.
Explosives - +20% bonus to hit primary target, -20% chance to hit secondary targets in splash damage. Example, the Grenade now has a 70%+(70%*20%) = 84% chance to hit the primary target, but the secondary targets now have a 50% - (50%*20%) = 40% chance of being hit.
4) Set Trap – This special action allows you to set up a Trap from your inventory in your current area. Since this will take time and concentration, you will be unable to make a Run action in the Movement Phase.
5) Use Item – Other items that cannot be used in a free action may be used in the Action Phase.
6) Defend – If you need to defend against an attack, the Defend action will allow you to increase your chances of avoiding attacks. You gain a -10% Dodge Bonus against all attacks made against you.
7) Cover – You can also defend other people from attacks with a Cover action. Any attacks made against a specified target will instead be directed against you. You gain a -15% Dodge Bonus against all attacks made against you or your target. Two (or more) players may Cover each other to essentially Defend themselves with a -15% Bonus rather than the -10% Bonus of the regular Defend action.
8) Search – With a Search action, you attempt to find useful items that may be hidden within an area. You will also have a higher chance of obtaining any dropped items other players have left behind and a higher chance of obtaining Reward Vote items, by counting yourself as if you were two players.
9) Analyze – You may investigate your fellow players with an Analyze action. The specified target’s role and school will be learned, though specifics about their health and special abilities will remain hidden. You will also learn what concealed items that player may be carrying. You will also gain a -20% Dodge Bonus against that specific player’s attacks against you, but not against other players’ attacks.
10) Heal – You may yourself or another player in the same zone 1 Health Point (cannot exceed maximum). Since this will take time and concentration, you will be unable to make a Run action in the Movement Phase when using a Heal action.
D) Movement Phase – In the Movement Phase, players choose one of the following actions:
1) Move – The basic movement action, you will Move one zone. If you are making an Attack, All-Out Attack, Aimed Attack, Cover, or Analyze action, you may attempt to follow a target if they move, and will follow as closely as possible – if they do not move, then you will not move either. If your target is Running three or more zones, you will end up in the second zone they move to.
2) Run – If moving is not enough, you can Run extended distances to evade enemies, up to three zones in total. However, to move long distances you need a lightened inventory: if you are holding a full inventory of three items, you must drop something to use this action. Please specify the number of zones you will be running and what you plan on dropping if necessary. Make sure you also declare the route you are taking. During a Run action, you also gain a -10% Dodge Bonus against all attacks. If you are making an Attack, Cover, or Analyze action, you may attempt to follow a target if they move, and will follow as closely as possible – if they do not move, then you will not move either. If they move less than your maximum follow distance you will only drop an item if it is necessary to chase, and if your target moves only one zone, you will not drop any items. You may not make a Run action if an All-Out Attack, Aimed Attack, Set Trap, or Heal action was taken in the Action Phase.
3) Hold Ground – If you do not wish to move, you can make a Hold Ground action to boost your defensive capabilities. You gain a -20% Dodge Bonus against all attacks made against you in the Attack Phase. You may not make a Hold Ground action if an All-Out Attack or Aimed Attack action was taken in the Action Phase.
4) Escape – Details are very limited when it comes to escaping the facility. Requirements for a successful escape include having your collar deactivated, but other information may become available through player interactions or details found during the game.
2) Run – If moving is not enough, you can Run extended distances to evade enemies, up to three zones in total. However, to move long distances you need a lightened inventory: if you are holding a full inventory of three items, you must drop something to use this action. Please specify the number of zones you will be running and what you plan on dropping if necessary. Make sure you also declare the route you are taking. During a Run action, you also gain a -10% Dodge Bonus against all attacks. If you are making an Attack, Cover, or Analyze action, you may attempt to follow a target if they move, and will follow as closely as possible – if they do not move, then you will not move either. If they move less than your maximum follow distance you will only drop an item if it is necessary to chase, and if your target moves only one zone, you will not drop any items. You may not make a Run action if an All-Out Attack, Aimed Attack, Set Trap, or Heal action was taken in the Action Phase.
3) Hold Ground – If you do not wish to move, you can make a Hold Ground action to boost your defensive capabilities. You gain a -20% Dodge Bonus against all attacks made against you in the Attack Phase. You may not make a Hold Ground action if an All-Out Attack or Aimed Attack action was taken in the Action Phase.
4) Escape – Details are very limited when it comes to escaping the facility. Requirements for a successful escape include having your collar deactivated, but other information may become available through player interactions or details found during the game.
E) Voting Phase
1) Vote for Marking – Vote someone to be marked for elimination by voting for them in bold red. The player with the most votes at the end of the day will be marked for elimination by the other players: the player that eliminated the marked player will win a random item as a reward. In the case of multiple players simultaneously taking the bounty, the reward will randomly go to one of the players. If there is a tie in the vote, multiple players may be marked. This is subject to change if Kitano is not pleased with the daily results.
2) Vote for Zone Closure – Vote for zones on the facility to be closed be voting for them in bold yellow. The zones with the most votes will be shut down the following day, and no travel will be allowed in those zones for the rest of the game. Moving through or stopping in a closed zone will result in death! Be sure to move if the zone you’re in is about to close. The number of zones that close each night is dependent on the number of players remaining, usually one or two each night. This is subject to change if Kitano is not pleased with the daily results.
3) Vote for Reward – Vote for a player be awarded a bonus item in bold lime. The player with the most votes will have a reward item given to them. Only one package will be given on any given night.

Good luck, students!

You wake up with a start to what looks like some kind of building, surrounded by an imposing perimeter fence, beyond which lies a featureless desert.. What you thought was a simple field trip proved to be anything but, as a confusing chain of events carried you into a small group military transports, and then to a well-used barracks under military guard. You and 19 other students are funneled into this building and threatened with violence for any kind of disobedience. Taking a quick look around you in your dazed and confused state, you don't seem to recognize anyone at first glance.
As everyone stands around watching the armed military forces, a figure walks into the room. One who seems familiar by face, but his introduction sends a chill down your spine. You've heard that name before. Everyone has.
"Good Morning Students. My name is Kitano and I welcome you to this year's Battle Royale. You're special, you know; very few get to participate in this event, and you should be proud to have been signed up for the latest installment. In fact, this event is so popular, there are even a few who signed themselves up!"
You glance around nervously; Who signed you up? And more importantly, who around here signed themselves up?
"Students. The game is simple. You have 7 days to determine a winner. At the end of Day 7, if the win conditions of this game are not met, the remaining students left alive will be killed. I will accept the last school standing, which can include a lover pair associated with the school, as a winning condition. Keep in mind that not everyone here will accept that and the game will not end until everything is settled. Also, the individuals who signed themselves up for this game for fun and sport are much tougher than in previous games. Keep an eye out.
When I call your name, you will be given a bag filled with supplies, a map, and most importantly, an item to help you win the game.
The game begins as soon as your name is called.
Do not disappoint me, students."
Nervously, you look around to figure out who your other classmates are, but after one hasty glance at each of the others, your name gets called. You find yourself rushing up to the front for your bag, then out the door as quickly as you can. Once you have a second to rest, perhaps you'll remember more about the students you saw.
What I need from everyone today to begin the game.
1) Your basic role information is in the PM you will be receiving shortly. Reply back to Kitano with any class bonuses you wish to choose, along with your chosen rival, if you want one.
2) In your reply, please also indicate the zone you wish to start in. If you don't tell me where you want to start, your starting zone will be assigned randomly.
3) If you have not yet taken a Lover and you are a Dedicated Student, you and another Dedicated Student can become Lovers by mutual agreement (meaning, I need confirmation via PM from both of you). Once Day 0 ends, your chance to take a Lover ends as well. After I confirm Lovers status, you'll receive a PM with additional information.
Once everyone has submitted their choices, the game will begin. The days end at 10pm CDT each night.
how many is it?!?!?
kidding, it's cool
