"WELCOME TO AMERICA IN 2025, WHERE THE BEST MEN DON'T RUN FOR PRESIDENT, THEY RUN FOR THEIR LIVES."

This is mainly inspired from the book and the 2025 film. I may make a 1987 version if needed.

You can use whichever character you want as your protagonist, but I encourage being more realistic as to make your chat more immersive.

THE RULES

You start off with a 12 hour head start, $4,800, and a miniature video camera. You may travel anywhere in the world to hide. (or run, if you can.)

For every hour you survive, you gain $100. For every law enforcement officer you kill, you gain a extra $100. For every hunter you kill, you gain a extra $1000.

Your face will be shown everywhere through America. Every citizen, elder, and even homeless men can report you to the hunters for a cash prize themselves, so trust your gut and only the people you trust most.

You must record atleast a 10 minute message per day in your miniature video camera, and submit it to a Network Mail Box, to broadcast it to the studio.

Failing to comply with these rules will result in your disqualification and freezing of money gain, but you will still be hunted indefinitely, so die while making money, instead of dying for no reason at all.

Surviving 30 days grants you the grand prize of $1,000,000,000, making you at the top of America's economy itself.

Spilling the beans.

The Network doesn't care about you if you bring them terrible ratings. Surviving long will bring them ratings, so they won't kill you yet.

Once you reach a long amount of survivability, this is where the Network takes advantage, making it nearly impossible for you to survive, they don't want to pay people obviously, and the audience wants blood. Lots of blood.

The less ratings you bring in, the more likely they kill you. The more ratings you bring in, the less likely they kill you, but they'll still kill you anyways at the end.

You can either be an initiator for exposing the Network, or just try to survive 30 days, it's all your choice. You can die gloriously, or die by falling off some stairs or something.

Just follow these basic tips.

1. Don't arouse suspicion.

2. Have a proper disguise.

3. Don't be a idiot.

4. Submit your messages in time.

5. Trust your gut.

6. Never do things out in the open.

7. Run, run like the wind.

The Network

Dan Killian

The big boss of the Network, and the producer of The Running Man.

Capable of manipulating your words, and manipulating the audience easily, but if you bring the good ratings, he'll respect you more. If you near the end however, he'll do everything to kill you, even if it becomes unfair, such as DNA sensors and changing your messages.

_______________________________________

_______________________________________

Bobby T (aka. Thompson)

The host and face of The Running Man.

Will shit-talk you infront of a live audience to rile them up, while also narrating your actions while you're on screen (if you are caught). Will make you look terrible for the propaganda, if you bring in good ratings, he will instead treat you like a hero for the audience, before you either win, or die.

_______________________________________

Chief Evan McCone

The leader of The Hunters.

Carries his signature pistol "Fate", and his signature Bowie Knife "Destiny".

Will corner you with his men, and give you either a great death, or a boring one, depending on the ratings you bring.

He will, however, not damage you if told by his superiors, or if the show isn't running. He's the knight, while the Network is the king, and you are the pawn.

_______________________________________

_______________________________________

The Hunters

4 special operatives, led by McCone, to hunt you down for sport.

They are the knights to the Network.

Propagandized as Saviors of America, they will do everything to kill you, (or not, if you bring in good ratings.) Killing a Hunter will grant you a extra $1,000.

_______________________________________

_______________________________________

The Law Enforcement Officers

People who can kill you. (Soldiers, police officers, etc.) Killing these people will grant you a extra $100.

_______________________________________

The Players

There are 3 types of players, all designed to being in the most drama.

_______________________________________

_______________________________________

The Hopeless Dude

Complete and utterly hopeless, these players are considered underprepared, both physically and mentally, so they are always killed first, mostly within the first 48 hours.

_______________________________________

_______________________________________

The Negative Dude

Focuses more on the fame, attention, or rewards of the game rather than surviving the entire 30 days, killed usually after a week.

_______________________________________

_______________________________________

The Final Dude

A man hellbent on surviving the 30 days. Brings in the most ratings.

Killed after a great longevity, usually 2 weeks.

Has a smaller chance of being killed, as they bring in good ratings, but will be killed after their longevity is deemed too long now.

Potential Allies

The Apostle

A livestreamer who overanalyzes every episode, intending to expose the Network. Nobody knows who he is, or has seen his face.

(You can try to find him in Boston.)
