Yeah, random personality related things that don't actually give you a personality at all out the way now...

Eh, Battle Royale is a sore subject for me as I keep getting bored of it so damn easily after getting stuck into writing, However, I have plans for Battle Royale including:

Chop till you drop? (maybe something else...okay DEFINITELY SOMETHING ELSE) tagline - Welcome to Consumer Hell... anyhoo, this is my first American Battle Royale, and will be written for funsies rather than trying to make some daft statement, and yes, it's being held in a MALL. If I hear of anybody else using a BR set in a mall I'll be on them like flies over shit, seriously, my original idea, come up with your own! In fact, just to establish it is MY idea, I'll say so now. it's my idea mwahaha...ha

Anyway the class as provided by the lovely WaxFactory: http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg54/BRmaniac/ClassA3Grade12BurnetHighBradville.jpg

And the shopping mall (yes it's the one from Dead Rising, I just changed the name): http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg54/BRmaniac/SidewinderParkviewMall.jpg

Untitled British Royale Onto more serious matters, there will be a somewhat dark and emotional BR that I will write once I improve as a writer. The name is undecided, but there are some things that are clear from the get go.

The Class The class won't actually be a class, it'll be a registration group consisting of the upper and lower classes of one intelligence set. Class A and Class B of the Beta set containing 50 students with an equal ammount of boys and girls.

The School I want to keep it fairly sterile like the original BR, rather than making it a happy-go-lucky school full of cool kids or some run down juvenile hall full of thugs and headcases, it's going to be a fairly high peforming yet generally quiet and somewhat boring comprehensive school on the outskirts of London, nestled into a suburbia of sorts.

Gameplay It won't be the commonly used 72 hours mode, it'll be the original novel mode where game play has no fixed 'game over' until somebody actually wins, just as long as one person dies a day, the collars won't go off in a mass elimination. My story is currently being planned to last between 3 and 5 days.

Location For the first time, I'm going to use an island as the games setting. The island is called Castle Rock and is 15-20 miles off the coast of St Ives, Cornwall, nearing French waters. The island is large and mainly covered in woodland, notable locations include a plateau with the ruins of a castle (the namesake of the island), a marina, a luxury inn, an open bar and a derelict detentional facility. Oh, and a bunch of houses, shops and emergency service buildings.

Weaponry Some of you may already know from MSN conversations, but I've brought several new breeds of weaponry that the BR section hasn't seen before.

Planning Apart from a few eliminations, the story will be freeform and made up as I go along, so don't bother asking questions, I know as much as you do.

Dog Eat Dog Is doing brilliant atm (oh ya, it's one chapter long and has 3 reviews) but I still think that's great, heres a picture of the map (yes it's the same one from the movie). http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg54/BRmaniac/OkishimaIsland-2010.jpg beta readers are Holliequ and Thewaxfactory, you sons of guns you! :3

Collab With HollieQu, because we can so suck on that you acrobats. Only info we are releasing: http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg54/BRmaniac/StMartinsStudentPlanner.jpgunrelated BR ideas --

Harpers Island A family reunion set 10 years after the wedding fiasco, you can guess what characters from the show are in it. However, Madison, Jimmy, Abby and Shea won't appear or so much as be mentioned once.

Fiction Press Idea - A slasher set in a community hall, ten teenagers and adults placed in Community Payback wish they hadn't gotten their ASBO's as their probation worker goes crazy and starts murdering them one by one...
