Rundown: rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

Yet Another Murder Game

[(Anonymous)]

Basically I spent the weekend watching Danganronpa: Future Arc and playing Let It Die, and now I'm curious as to whether anyone would be interested in a game with aspects of both.

Characters are entered into a tournament, willingly or otherwise, where they can earn huge rewards at the risk of death. It's not always as simple as 'last man standing' though - every game is different. You might have to weed out the traitors in your group before they kill you all. You might have to collect tokens from other players to ensure your survival. There will be challenges that require you to work together, and challenges that require you to betray your allies. The longer you last, the greater the reward.

To make things interesting, characters get handicaps that are enforced by paralysing shock collars. Perform your forbidden action, and you're out for the count. These actions might be easily avoided like 'you can't use your favourite weapon' or they might be near impossible, like 'you can't open doors'.

Death is not so much an ending as a setback. When you die, your rank is reset and you lose whatever privileges you earned since your last checkpoint. Die enough times and you start coming back wrong - maybe your hair changed colour. Maybe you have superpowers now. It's a mixed bag.

I'm thinking that the whole thing might be televised, with particular incentives for being an audience favourite - gifts of food and weapons, hints as to other character's weaknesses, etc.

Setting wise I'd be going for that kind of cyber punk dystopia vibe.

Would something like this even work as an RP? Could players be trusted to fight fair, or would we have to implement some kind of random selection as to who dies when? What different game types might there be? Should the game be kept small or have a huge cast of characters?

Reminds me a little bit of thegames, which is not necessarily a bad thing. It was a fun game.
