BBS Battle Royale Chapter One-"Setting Traps"
The year is 2006. It's a rough year for NG. The Flash Portal had fallen into disrepair, the BBS had lost most of it's reasonable posters, and on top of that, the traffic of NG shrunk dramitcally. With the money made from Alien Hominid, and the forced release of Dad & Me, NG had enough money to make NG more well known. So the admins had a conference in England.
liljim- We have enough money to broadcast NG greatly. But how do we market our site to an even greater extent?
Tom- We could always do commercials.
Wade- That's too common. How many people do you know actually like commercials?
liljim- We can have NG logos put up in movies.
Tom- Who'd pay attention to that?
Wade- Well...we do have enough money to make our own channel for cable/digital T.V.
liljim- Yes, we do, but that alone just doesn't seem all that appealing.
Tom- What if we had shows that would show people how to make flashes?
Wade- Sounds good, but it wouldn't be a guranteed that they would come to NG because of that.
liljim- I don't know what to do then.
Tom- I just got an idea!
Wade- What?
liljim- Yes, what do you have planned?
Tom- We can make that channel, but make it even more interesting than possible. Let's make the users that already come to NG adverise us.
Wade- What are you getting at?
liljim- What kind've angle are we talking about?
Tom- BBS Battle Royale. We take about 50 members or so from NG that post, and stick them on an island to kill each other. Think of how much traffic we'll get.
Wade- Yeah, I understand. I got an idea that'll bring in even more money. We can have people bet to see who lives and dies. There can only be one winner right?
liljim- Yes, only one winner. We could set up cameras all over the island, and make it a 24 hour televised event. And every three hours, a results poll will show up for people to make there bets.
Tom- There is already one problem with this.
Wade- Yeah, the dead, right?
liljim- We have nothing to worry about. Since the users are advertising for us, for every dead person that belonged to a family, we'll send them $800,000.
Tom- This will be worldwide. Think of the ratings we'll bring in. Giving off that much money won't be a big deal.
Wade- For the person who wins, what does he/she recieve?
liljim- How does ten million U.S. dollars sound?
Tom- I wonder what good it would do for the person? Sanity would be too broken to enjoy, at least that's what I would think.
Wade- Then it's settled. All we need to do is think of a way to get the BBS users to do this, to be apart of it, with no questions asked.
liljim- I have an idea. Remember that Mod Meetup thread you put up a few months back?
Wade- Yes.
liljim- And remember how so many people wanted to be apart of it?
Wade- Yes.
liljim- What if were to make a thread called "The Real BBS User Meetup"? Where all you have to do is sign to be apart of this "Free Trip" to meet up with other users.
Tom- That's brilliant! How do we pull it off effectively?
Wade- Easy, so many people are obsessed with their post count, right? Why not make it something like "All you have to do is get 300 posts within a week to qualify". "By then you will automatically get an E-mail confirming that you've met your goal, reply back to the E-mail with your address and a jet will pick you up and take you to the destination."
liljim- Bloody brilliant!
Tom- Well, let's get this plan under way.
Wade- It was nice meeting you again liljim.
liljim- It was all my pleasure. Have a safe trip across the pond.

You see the names on Mast3rMind's computer screen as you see the user himself seat back in relaxation and says...
Mast3rMind- Wow, out of all things to win, I for one didn't expect to win this. I mean hell, I don't win shit. I guess it'll be cool seeinng the other NG users. I wonder what's going to be like?
Meanwhile....
Wade- Hey bro, are you sure you want to do this? Because once this starts, we can't stop.
Tom- I'm sure. The people of NG brought this on themselves, so why not have them pay for it? Right?
Wade- Ok then.
Back to Mast3rMind's apartment....
Mast3rMind- The note said to wait outside my apartment building at 10:00 A.M. It's going on 9:59 A.M.
All of a sudden you see a huge jet fly across the horizon and drop in from of Mast3rMind's apartment building.
Mast3rMind- Man, that is one big ass jet!
Pilot- Are you Mast3rMind?
Mast3rMind- Yes-
Pilot- Alright then. Get aboard, you were the last person on my route that needed to be picked up.
Mast3rMind gets on the jet to see at least ten other people. There are "I am" post it on the people, so it's easy to know who's who.
Sarai- Hey Mast3rMind, what's up?
Mast3rMind- Hey, how's everyone doing. Zen_Gaijin, holding it down. -Canas-, I barely know you, TheBoneThug, what's up, Britkid, ViciousDave, and the rest of you.
-Dawkins- It's hard to believe that we've won. It just seems so fishy.
Sarai- What do you mean? We all won fair and square, what's to be afraid of?
-Canas- I don't know, but I'm getting pretty damn sleepy.
Mast3rMind- Come on, this is exiting, how could you be..*Yawn* sleepy?
Everyone on the jet begins to fade into sleep. People are trying to fight it off, but it's not working. They wake up hours later in house. Wade walks in.
Wade- Welcome to the first of day hell.
