Survival of the Fittest Wiki

Survival of the Fittest

Survival of the Fittest is a Battle Royale based roleplaying site. The premise of the game is simple: you are a student who, along with the rest of your class, has been thrown onto an island, fitted with an explosive collar, issued a weapon, and given the ultimate ultimatum: kill or be killed. Survival of the Fittest, more commonly known as "SOTF", differs from its inspiration in that unlike most BR-oriented roleplays, SOTF has its own unique storyline, unique characters, and a whole plethora of unexpected happenings. Interested yet? You should be. Battle Royale never got this extreme.

Survival of the Fittest: Version 1 has come and gone. The original roleplay lasted from June 19th, 2005 until August 26th, 2006. In August, construction on the ending for the first version of SOTF commenced. As of the current date, Version 1's "Endgame" has been released to the public. Boy #77: Adam Dodd beat out Cody Jenson, Sidney Crosby, and Jack O'Connor to win SOTF v1. The second game began on October 30, 2006.

Version 2 was scaled down from the global event that Version 1 was. Instead, four schools, all out of the metropolitan area of Denton, New Jersey, were captured and placed in the game. Now, the second version of Danya's series of deadly games is in the past. After roughly nine days of fighting on the island, Boy #12, Bryan Calvert, defeated Ricky Callahan, Whitney Acosta, and Mariavel Varella to become the sole survivor and win SOTF v2. The game is over, but only half of the ending has been released as of this time.

Version 3, too, has finally come to an end. After thirteen days of brutal fighting, Boy #58, J. R. Rizzolo defeated Girl #71, Lulu Altaire; Girl #23, Trish McCarroll; and Boy #31, Lenny Priestly, to become our third winner. However, that isn't the end of the story. A group of students managed to fight their way free, though the fates of many are still unknown. Who survived? Stay tuned to find out, as the V3 epilogue is still updating!

The long-anticipated Version 4 is now over. Out of 276 students, Female Student #59, Kimberly Nguyen outlasted Male Student #74, Ilario Fiametta III; Male Student #82, Ivan Kuznetsov; Female Student #13, Reiko Ishida; and Female Student #63, Ericka Bradley after thirteen days of fighting to become the winner of SOTF version 4. Meanwhile, the rescued students are going home, trying to piece their lives back together. Find out about their fates in V4's post-game section.

Finally, Version 5 is here! 152 boys and girls from Aurora High School in Seattle, Washington, have been deposited onto a deserted island to take part in V5 of SotF. V5's Endgame is underway!

NOTICE: Due to problems, we have lost many of our pages, mostly those in V3 and V4. Feel free to help out with repairing. We are mostly concentrating on V4 at this point in time.
