EDIT: The game has started! Read chapter 1 here:
New chapters will be posted every Sunday!
Introduction:
Hey wonderful people of Fuwa! Today I'd like to invite you all to a fun little weekly community event I'll be hosting! I have done one of these in the past, and it was pretty well recieved! I have learned from some of the mistakes I made last time, and hope that this version will be even more fun.
For those of you who don't know, a while back I held a community event called "The Last GM Standing," which was a battle royale sort of story, pitting the users of fuwa against one another in a battle to the death. I wrote a chapter every week, where a random number generator chose who would fight who, and who'd end up victorious.
The last version did have a few problems though, with certain users getting less coverage than others, (Sorry @Arcadeotic) and the ending being very rushed due to me having exams and what not. I'd like to fix some of these mistakes this time around.
(You can read all of the Last GM Standing entries on my blog, if you are interested. Chapter 1 can be found here.)
Rules this time around
So, this time I'd like to make it simpler. Anyone who wants to join can, (just leave a reply in this thread,) and I'll put everyone in one arena, so no teams are involved this time. Depending on the number of participants, I'll kill off X people each week, (decided completely by RNG, like last time, so I personally have no control over who lives and dies— I just write the stories,) until only one person remains alive, and is crowned the winner.
I will put up a poll with this thread, where you guys can decide on the setting for the battle, and I'll adapt the story accordingly. I'll also make sure that each user gets covered equally when it is their turn to fight, so that some people don't feel left out/ underappreciated. (I'll have a set limit of words for each fight, so that everyone gets the same amount of coverage, and I'll try to make each fight as interesting as possible.)
I plan on doing the event the same way as before, by writing one chapter each week, (probably on saturdays,) and I will upload them to my own blog here on the site, and link it in this thread. For those only interested in whether or not you are still alive, you can scroll down to the bottom, where I'll put a neat overview of who died that week, and who remains alive.
Another thing that I will be doing differently is that you will be allowed to create your own personality. This is optional, so if you do not wish to do so, I will just make something up for you. But, if you want to be portayed in any specific way, (your personality, your clothing, your gender, your weapon of choice etc,) then leave some keywords with your comment.
I will leave the initial sign up peropd for this open for at least one week, (possibly longer,) so people have time to find it before the event starts. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. I will probably write up a neat Q&A page like I did with the last one.
Have fun killing each other! You don't get to say that every day. (/ω\)
