[Elephant Parade]

Books explaining how all the weird arena stuff works, preferably.

[Hapah]

On second thought, I think I'll keep my rifle for now.

Go home. Collect golf ball sized rocks.

Rob him of the rifle while he's out collecting rocks.  Don't take the rocks though, that would be being a jerk.

Aw, c'mon, I've got plans for the rifle next episode that involve someone else getting it! That someone could be you, and you could get paid at the same time!

Just shoot him? Like, BANG, problem solved? And free DD to!

That's one way, I suppose! I planned to just give the rifle to a random person who makes a sidebet with me, to try to spark a little interest and get my betting enterprise off the ground. Murdering potential customers is bad for business!

[Toaster]

((We saw what happened the last time someone broke da law in dis town...))

Actually...

Right to own weapons is strangely unrestricted.
...
The laws of self defense are extremely easy to manipulate, if you catch my drift.

[syvarris]

((Except when they're stealig your buisness.  :I

Why don't you just sell the individual shots?  Say, ten DD and you'll fire a round at a target of the customer's choosing.  Thirty, and you'll fire until the person's dead.  You could even sell to contestants, because they can apparently convert points to DD, considering the one guy half-paid for the random option.))

[piecewise]

Watch the 24-hour stream. Observe if the stream informs the audience of what the shackle told him to do. If it doesn't, go find a forum thread dedicated to guessing what the shackle's challenge is on the local network

Spoiler: Sheamus Quirkel  | 10 DD (click to show/hide)

Description: A tall, slight, stoic type. Has short, orange hair.
Reason for signing up: Was slightly less dangerous than living where he was. Slightly.
Stats:
Strength:1
Dexterity:10
Endurance:1
Speed:5
Intelligence:5
Luck:1
Will:1
Perception: 4

Inventory:
10 DD

According to the internet peoples, who clearly wouldn't lie, the challenges that the shackle tends to give out are often related to the needs of the contestant. The more desperate the need, the worse the challenge, and the greater the reward. It seems that whoever is posting the challenges really likes to fuck with the contestants.

Spoiler: Mason Caldwell-Blue Barbarians-8 points (click to show/hide)

Name: Mason Caldwell
Description: A middle-aged male with brown hair and brown eyes. He has a slightly muscular build and his whole body is covered with scars, a testament to the hard life he has lived.
Reason for signing up: He wants to be a Magister, to have all the power that comes with the position.
Stats: (20 points to allocate. 5 Points in a stat gives a 1/3 chance of +1. 10 gives 2/3, etc.)
Strength:3
Dexterity:3
Endurance:15
Speed:3
Intelligence:1
Luck:1
Will:1
Perception:1
Inventory: Replacement leg, replacement hand, Katana/saw-saber sword, Athlete suit. Also, that first aid kit from Kriellya's corpse.

Move away from the others and gingerly remove the bandages to check on my shoulder. If it is festering or for some reason the post-episode medical care didn't fix it and I can't get medical care, treat it with antibiotics or disinfect it with rubbing alcohol and rebandage it with stuff from the first aid kit I took from Kriellya. If I don't still have that first aid kit for some reason, buy another for 2 points and treat the shoulder. After treating it, or if it doesn't need treatment and isn't healed, put new bandages on and wear the Athlete Suit. Of my shoulder somehow miraculously healed, then forego the bandages and put on the suit. Also, if under attack for some reason, defend self with sword. Because paranoia is my friend.

((That sword description makes me think it is some sort of saw or whip/chain sword. I hope it is. Also, I'm assuming I got medical care for my shoulder after the episode. And I'm glad I took Kriellya's medkit after she diedwas betrayed. I'm probably making too many assumptions, but I'm assuming I still have it.))

Your shoulder is fine as it can be, for losing a lot of skin. The bandages just make it itch as it heals.

You open the case and pull out the suit thats neatly folded within. The suit itself is a single piece body suit which covers the entirety of the wearer, including hands and head, with the head piece being the only really solid part and the rest being flexible slightly rubbery. It's a dull silvery color and appears to be made of some sort of fibrous material fused with a black, synthetic backing. When you put it on, the suit molds to your body, compressing itself down until it's skintight. The helmet, which fits your head snugly within but is more rounded and spherical on the outside, displays the world to you via a 360 degree camera system that allows you to look anywhere you want without moving your head, as well as following your motions normally.  Always hovering on the corner of your vision is the number 5, displayed in green system font.  Inside the case, under the suit, is a small folded sheet of paper.

Sit in appartment. Put on some music, and dance the night away!

>Go home and cook a nutritious meal for my sisters when they return from school.

...Failing that, order pizza.

You order a broccoli pizza. Your sisters are nonplussed.

Do weasel stuff. Hide until the place is closed down for the day, then run around the arena like a crazy fucker and shit on things.

You sure you wanna run around in the back? There's bad stuff back there. You might die.

PM action sent.

Navarro gets up and walks around the room a bit, bumping into a couple people on his way to one of the nice chairs by the tv.

Larry dries off after his shower, waggles his genitals at a nearby camera, then dresses and sits down with a nice unhealthy meal, and watches the other contestants.

Dry off, get something delicious- nutrition optional- from the kitchen, then sit down and eat while observing.

Spoiler: Gilbert Garplacks of RED (click to show/hide)

Name: Gilbert Garplacks
Description: an unspeakably greasy man of uncertain age, his skin shines like that of a fish, and he is constantly red in the face. Though his entire head is hairless, he has a mustache tattooed on his left index finger, which he raises to his lips on many occasions, giggling softly before lowering his finger again.

You crawl under the bed and hide from the people, waiting for the movie magic to kick in.

On second thought, I think I'll keep my rifle for now.

Go home. Collect golf ball sized rocks.

I don't think they'll let you bring those in. Gotta buy DMR branded rocks.

Hapah clubs you upside the head with his rifle and then points it at you.

Ah, nice try but no.

((I think that is an absolutely amazing idea, but will have to run the numbers to come up with reasonable. What about the rest of you, what do you think about it?))

[NAV]

Sit down and watch the telly. Try to find some reruns of DMR.

"So, Cromwell, what finger combination did you use to shoot the acid?"

[Yoink]

"It's healthy, okay," Tsafi cried in an anguished voice, seated at the kitchen table amidst a scattered pile of food coupons, "And it fits in our budget- unlike that triple-cheese monstrosity I had to pay for the last time I let you two order your own dinner!" He sighed, slumping forwards in his seat as doors slammed in unison elsewhere in the house.
That could have gone better. Oh well, at least he had the living room to himself for now, while his sisters were off sulking.

>Chuck a couple slices of pizza on a plate, lounge in front of the TV watching past DMR re-runs as I eat.
Take note of what sort of game modes and challenges have proven most popular in the past, and check out whatever info is displayed on the available equipment.

((Huh, I'd actually written this post about finding reruns, couldn't post it due to my internet acting funny, and then finally loaded the page to see NAV doing the same thing. How suspicious...))

Read that piece of paper that was in the case. Also, check the sword for buttons. Then go watch TV with the others.

Damn, I was planning on doing that if I got your gun. Damn you syv!

Anyways, 10DD a pop seems too much. Just ask how much ammo refills cost, then base price on that.

[Toaster]

"Ammo" is listed as two points in the machine, with no type specification.

[Hapah]

If 2 points (20DD) works out to 10 shots, that's 2DD a shot. I'd prolly price it at 3 a shot to make it accessible to more people.
