About:
Project Evergreen is a NISRD experiment designed to test human interactions when a situation mandates killing to survive. Contestants will be dropped into a specialized 102 x 76.8 kilometer arena, where they will have to fight each other until only two survivors remain. The objective is not merely pointless bloodbath as the movies would have you believe. Rather, it is a prolonged conflict, where the strongest will survive. Oh, and NISRD's pulling some strings on traps and the like.
Rules:
OP's word is final.
Godmodding is not permitted, as for age, all characters must be 18 years exactly, with no more than 3 months having passed since they turned of age.
Humans only. No other species.
Posts must be detailed on what the contestant did during that particular day.
Combat may be initiated if two contestants find each other over the course of their day's action. The winner is decided by the controllers of the characters, with OP intervention occurring only during serious disagreements or actual toss-up matches.
The motivation for winning is a guaranteed prize of 1 billion dollars USD (or converted to your native currency). This is actually legitimate, as NISRD may be unethical, but doesn't lie about compensation. However, contestants think they can opt-out in the middle, which is false.
Touching the barrier will kill the contestant with a remotely fired salvo of nerve toxins. Don't try to bust out.
Death or victory is the only way out.
Weapons must be made in the arena through found objects, picked up by supply drops, or found in hidden caches. The OP will decide what weapons are permissible (absolutely no firearms).
Sponsors may send a gift once every three days, with the first gift being sendable at 6 PM on the Opening Day.
A sponsor cannot control a contestant, they are separate sign-ups.
The families and friends of contestants are not informed of what they're doing, as NISRD gives them a legally valid excuse about some serious, rare disease.
