Producer: Damn it, why do these fools have to be so careful now? And WHY THE HELL ARE THE CAMERAS OUT?!
Director: Remember, the storm took out the power 2 days ago.
Producer: I don't care! GIVE ME MY CAMERAS!
Camera Director: Well, we at least have the manned camera's working.
Producer: Well why didn't you say so?! Show me what you have.
One of the screens flickers on with images from each manned camera. On the first two images, ced and knobbodi can be seen loading a round into their guns. When the image changes to the third camera, Knobbodi can be seen ducking behind trees. He appears to have a panicked look on his face.
Producer: Do we have sound?! What is going on?!
As the speaker flicks on, a barely audible get away can be made out. As he gets closer to the cameraman, he starts screaming.
knobbodi: AHHHHHH!!! GET AWAY SIR MU!!! LEAVE ME ALONE!!!
Knobbodi then runs into the forest, still screaming at the top of his lungs.
Director: Guess he took that kill kinda hard.
Producer: I'll say. Next camera.
The screen flickers onto the next camera. On the screen atlseal can be seen lining up a shot on someone.
Director: Finally some action! Who is he shooting? Who Who Who!
The camera turns into the direction of where atlseal is aiming. In the distance a hat can be seen peeking out from the bushes. Next thing that is heard is the familiar sound of gunfire and a loud thunk on the ground.
Atlseal: YES GOT HI... WHAT?!?!
Coming into the frame is Deathjoey. He looks around confused a bit then looks on the ground. He pick up the hat and then turns towards atlseal.
Deathjoey: Hey! You hit the cameraman!!! Watch where you are aiming!
Fuming, Atlseal starts to curse at deathjoey in multiple languages.
Producer: OH COME ON!! You know how much a good cameraman costs? I swear to god, he pulls that stunt again and I will kill him myself!
Location: A lake somewhere in the jungle. Sir Mu can be seen fishing with a makeshift fishing rod.
atlseal: Ahh, you must be that Sir Mu guy I keep hearing about.
Sir Mu: Umm... yeah, why?
atlseal: Oh no reason, just wanted to thank you for saving the host yesterday.
Sir Mu: Oh, umm... thanks. So why are you dancing all the time?
The camera zooms out to reveal that atlseal is indeed dancing.
atlseal: Why do I have a feeling I had this conversation before?
Sir Mu: Huh?
atlseal: Oh nothing, so wanna get some breakfast?
Sir Mu: Sureee.... I guess. Hope you like fish. So let's see what we got here. *Goes to check the line but starts to struggle*
Sir Mu: DAMN MAN, wanna help? I got a HUGE one here.
Atlseal goes and to grab the line but 2 loud gunshots can be heard. Turning around he notices that Sir Mu is on the ground, taking one shot to the heart and one to the head. Looking in the direction he sees Monkey and knobbodi high fiving each other over their successful kill. Behind them appears ced395 pointing a gun directly at atlseal.
atlseal: OH CRAP! *Dives behind the dead body of sir mu right as ced fires. The bullet only manages to hit the now dead sir mu.*
atlseal: Well at least this guy was good for something. *Drags Sir Mu's body into the lake and starts dancing with it*
Sir Mu, I guess you did save the last dance for atlseal all along.
Producer: WAIT A MINUTE!!! Where is deathjoey?
Camera cuts to deathjoey, who is sleeping near an ammo box. He reaches in and grabs a bullet and loads it into his gun.
Deathjoey: Charlene, I'll take good care of you...

Elsewhere, a camera is zoomed in on ced and one of the locals. they appear to be playing some sort of card game.
ced: What? I was fully expecting someone to shoot me. I figured if he isn't gonna be shot at, I might as well play a game or two with him.
Civilian: Wait? I was gonna be SHOT AT? *Punches ced and knocks him out then walks away* I knew that craigslist posting was too good to be true. I should have taken that hero job.

Round 6 Deadline will be 8:00 PM EDT Monday, July 18th.
Host: So I finally caught up to you, Monkey Playing MTG. So how does it feel? You are not the first death and you now have some effective armor in that shield.
Monkey: *Loads a bullet into his gun* Feels great. Are you OK? I can't help but notice that bandage on your leg.
Host: Oh well, it's a funny story actually. You see...
Suddenly, the host is grabbed from behind by a now blood crazed Knobbodi.
Knobbodi: Don't shoot man! I have a hostage and I am more than willing to use him as a shield.
Host: Really man? I perfer to NOT be shot more than once a lifetime thank you very much.
Knobbodi: Shut up! I'm not talking to you I'm talking to THEM! *points to Ced and Sir_Mu*
Ced: Dude, relax. See I am grabbing a bullet... See?
Sir_Mu: Let the host go, see I'll even put down my gun *Bends down to put down his gun*
Suddenly as Sir Mu puts down his gun, a gunshot can be heard followed by the sound of metal hitting metal
As the camera quickly pans over, wurgel can clearly be seen swearing up a storm for a second before 2 more gunshots can be heard. The first bullet hits him right in the femoral artery, the second and more lethal shot manages to land in the gut.
Host: Holy crap! Who did he piss off?
As if on cue, first deathjoey appears to check if his hit is indeed lethal. He is interrupted by atlseal though and starts leading DJ in a dance that resembles the Salsa.
Host: I swear, that atlseal guy is one weird dude...
Ced, Sir_mu, Monkey and knobbodi together: Indeed.
Sorry wurgel, you seem to be suffering from an accute case of heavy metal. At least you get to see a nice dance before you bleed out.
Producer A: Won't these guys do anything? It seems they are all too chicken to attack each other.
Producer B: Well, what do you expect? We just threw them into the middle of nowhere and told them they have to kill each other.
Producer A: Yeah, but they can do more than just load their guns.
Producer B: Let's be fair here. Atlseal at least is not loading. WHAT he is doing however is another story. Is that... the samba? Well definitely a different way to guard himself.
Camera Director: Sir, take a look at camera 4. It looks like we may be getting some action.
Looking onto the monitor, both producers see a gun that clearly belongs to Ced395 being aimed at someone.
Producer A: Who else is in the area?!
The camera pans over to reveal Monkey Playing MTG, still working away at his shield. Suddenly he looks up right as a loud bang is heard over the speakers. Instead of falling down dead, Monkey manages to get his shield up just in time and save himself from the oncoming attack.
Producer A: Damn, I thought we would get a kill too.
Camera Director: Don't speak so soon, look over on Camera 1.
On Camera 1, Id_Ego is seen trying to load yet another round into his gun. Right as he pick up his gun to load the bullet into his chamber, another loud bang is heard. Unlike Monkey though, Id_ego goes down with a perfect shot to the back of the head. As he collapses to the ground, the figure of Knobbodi can be seen. As the camera pans over and zooms into Knobbodi, a slight grin appears on his face, obviously proud he has made the kill.
Well Id_ego, you were warned you were loading your gun at your own risk. Eliminated by Knobbodi in Round 2 via headshot.

The camera switches over to a riverbank where it appears within the short time they have been on the island, Monkey Playing MTG has apparently managed to fashion himself a crude riot shield out of some leaves and wood in the area to protect himself.
Production room:
Me: I thought you said these guys would be shooting each other from the get go. Just look at the early reviews! People HATE this show!

It all sounded so simple, a chance to win millions in a short amount of time, and all you had to do was let yourself be filmed for the entertainment of millions of viewers. Little did you know just how much you signed up for.
The last thing you remember was standing in a studio in LA in front of a producer. You have just signed the contract when you were mysteriously knocked out from behind. When you awaken you find yourself in a clearing in the middle of a jungle. Around you are seven other people who look just as confused as you are, and a mysterious box. Out from behind a tree comes two people, one with a camera and one with what appears to be a bag full of guns.
Host: Welcome to The Arms Race! Where the winner earns fame, fortune, and honor. The rest of you, well let's just say the insurance policy you signed as part of the contract will go towards getting you a first class burial, and a generous profit for us.
He goes and hands you and the seven others a gun with one bullet loaded and a note.
Host: On the note you will find all the rules you need to know for the game. We left plenty of ammo boxes for you to reload your gun with, at your own risk of course. You are also free to use any asset you find here. Be careful though, get too crazy and you may find yourself getting the boot. With that, I bid you farewell, and good hunting.
Suddenly realizing what is happening, you decide it is best to get out of Dodge as fast as possible before the other contestants decide to take a quick pop shot at you.
The game has begun! You all have until July 5th, 8:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time to submit your actions
Ok hate to do this, but I am extending sign-up due to the 4th of July holiday. I won't have much time to actually run it until July 4th so We'll start then. If you are in and will be away on the 4th feel free to pre-queue your action.
OK, just an FYI everyone: I know I forgot to post this originally, but when the game starts everyone will have 1 bullet in the chamber. That is the only rule change I am making from the base rules.
Time: Unknown

Location: Somewhere in the Jungle.
Host: Ahh atlseal, there you are. Been wanting to ask you a few quest... Are you STILL dancing?
atlseal: Of course, I love dancing in the dark.
Host: Umm... riiight. So why do you like dancing so much?
atlseal: Well I didn't have much else to do in the psych ward. Ahh here is that ammo box. *Loads a round into his gun*
Host: Wait, wait, wait! You were a nutjob?
atlseal: Yeah, you didn't know?
Host: No, but that actually explains a lot now that you say that.
atlseal: Well, I will say it is better than dancing in the street. Too many cars ya know. I once tried to dance with a car, quite funny actually.
Host: Yeah, well you can tell me that one later. So tell me. How does it fee... Who the hell is that?!
Out of the darkness comes Monkey Playing MTG with his shield, being followed by deathjoey.
Monkey: HEEEEEELP!!!!
Deathjoey takes a shot at Monkey, but the bullet bounces harmlessly off of the shield.
Deathjoey: GET BACK HERE! I WANT YOUR SHIELD!
atlseal: What is that all about?
Host: Apparently joey really wants that shield. Anyway, one last question. Have you seen ced? i wanted to thank him for earlier.
atlseal: You know, I haven't actually. I know he isn't dancing the night away.
Elsewhere, a camera is zoomed in on ced and one of the locals. they appear to be playing some sort of card game.
ced: What? I was fully expecting someone to shoot me. I figured if he isn't gonna be shot at, I might as well play a game or two with him.

Host: OK, Knobbodi, will you let me go now?
Knobbodi: Hell no! Didn't you just see what happened to the poor sap over there?
Ced: Relax dude, I have no intention of shooting you while you have an innocent person.
Knobbodi: Get away from me! *Points his gun at ced.*
At this point Monkey takes the opportunity to hide himself behind his shield, not wanting to piss off knobbodi.
Sir_Mu: Woah woah woah! Don't Shoot! *Moves towards knoboddi*
Knobbodi: I SAID DON'T MOVE!
Before anyone can react, the sound of gunfire echoes through the area.
Knobbodi: I warned you.
Ced: Jesus man! No need to shoot the...
Suddenly Ced goes silent as a dead bird falls right in front of his feet.
Sir_Mu: Really?! *Runs towards the jungle and past a dancing atlseal and stunned deathjoey.*
Monkey Playing MTG: Well THAT is different. I didn't know we got points for killing the wild life.
Atlseal: Can't we all just get along and dance?! *pulls out 2 bullets from wurgel's gun and hands one to deathjoey* Bullet?
