it was a long night. For all of the people in the bunkers, things weren't looking too good. Earlier in the day, they had recieved a small letter written in the same writing as their invitations. It was slipped under the door and explained the rules of the game and things weren't too bad. Although it didn't make clear what was to happen if you lost. There were some debates. They'd be sent home, they'd have to work for the organiser of the competition, but in the back of their minds they knew it wasn't that simple.
Around half and hour after darkness fell, they received two more letters. The first simply told them their team names but the second was far more important. As none of them had anything to do, although each bunker did contain an old book with blank pages, possibly for keeping a diary, it wasn't their idea of excitement, well, all but one, they were all thankful they had something to do.
The letter told them of their first challenge.
I welcome all 3 groups - The Monsters Squad, The Mad Killers and Ash's Chainsaws - to your first ever Battle Royale Challenge.
Before that, let me remind you that EACH ONE of you now carries a bullseye on your back...from now on, your survival in Battle Royale solely depends upon how you fare as a team (in the beginning), and as an individual (in the later stages). Knowledge is not the only weapon which will see you pass these challenges...it will be a test of your integrity, character and stamina as a HDC-ian.
So, onwards we go...right into THE FIRST BATTLE ROYALE CHALLENGE :-
Identify the movies from which these quotes have been taken :-
* "What are you, Smokey the Clown now?"
* "What do you think I want, you mean ol' bastard? I wanna room!"
* "I have such wonderful sights to show you!"
* "Mother is the name for God on the lips and hearts of all children."
* "I change my cars as regularly as a snake sheds its skin."
* "Bad luck isn't brought by broken mirrors, but by broken minds.”
* "Have you ever seen blood in the moonlight? It appears quite black."
* “Somebody who should be dead is alive, or somebody who should be alive is already dead."
* "And the present is trivia, which I scribble down as fucking notes."
* “That was something trying to get out of its premature grave, and I don't want to be here when it does."
There are 240 points up for grabs in the above challenge. The deadline for sending your entries ends on Monday, 31st March at 12 Noon EST.
You may confer within members of your own team in your quest for the right answers, but each Battle Royale participant should send in their own individual entries. To enter your answers, please simply write them on the bits of paper in the book with the pen found next to it, and slip them under the door.
Each team member immediatetely sprung to life. But before they were able to celebrate for long, yet another letter was slipped under their doors.
And now comes the SHOCKING penalty of HDC Battle Royale's Challenge #1 :-
In case your group fails in this Challenge, all 8 members will be given a Smith and Wesson .45 loaded with ONE bullet.
The group will then be let free, out of the Battle Royale grounds, where they will hunt each other down and choose someone from their own team as a target for their bullet. That is, they will send me a PM or email telling me which member they choose to receive their bullet.
4 bullets will kill a person. Ergo, the contestant who receives 4 bullets will die, and so be OUT of the HDC Battle Royale.
The lifeline - the points you score individually. There are 10 individual points to be scored here. 5 points are equal to a health-pack, which will negate the effects of 1 bullet. You might survive, but you will be severely wounded.
So, 1 bullet - slightly wounded,
2 bullets - wounded,
3 bullets - severely wounded,
and
4 bullets - dead and OUT.
So, which means, even if you end up slightly OR severely wounded in this Challenge, you WILL CARRY the bullet inside you into the NEXT challenge!
The dreaded punishment revealed, the moods faded and the cracks began to form. Gorephobia and VampiricClown played cool, urgeok wondered if there was another solution which wouldn't end in betrayal, but then the moods rose. team spirit built. Maybe it was because of the adrenaline pumping in their veins or just the sheer will to live, but they all pulled together as teams.
There was only one. One who would not work as a team. One who wanted to do it himself. And that would lead to his ultimate destruction...
