What is your method of surviving or rather, winning Battle Royal?
For those of you unfamiliar with the concept or the original manga or the movie loosely based on that graphic novel, Battle Royal is when a class of similar aged kids are put on an abandoned island which is three kilometers in area. Each competitor is given a bag which contains food, water, a map and a weapon. These weapons may vary from axes and scythes to guns and crossbows, although some weapons aren't offensive, such as a scanner which shows the position of nearby enemies or a bulletproof vest. Every contestant is wearing a collar, which can relay their position and medical condition, these can also be detonated if they try to leave the island or try to infiltrate the base in the center of the island. The competition lasts three days, although the second that there is just one survivor, the game ends. If there is no winner after three days all of the collars are detonated. The island is divided into zones, and there are certain zones that are called 'death zones' and if you stay in them for too long, your collar will be detonated. The terrain is also very varied on the island, from mountains to lush jungles to huge cliffs. There are also several buildings on the island, from slum type housing to warehouses and a lighthouse.
Now that the central concept has been introduced, what would you do to survive, bear in mind that it will be your classmates that you will be pitted against.
For more detail, also what actually happens in the story, have a look at the manga or the film, the manga has much more detail but the film is good at showing the basic idea of what happens.
