Some of you got a few spellings wrong, but the answer was right so I accepted them. Many of you sent in the author's name as well, which was not asked for in the Challenge.

I did not accept wrong years listed, and also many of you couldn't correctly name the original work of fiction for a particular film, and went with the film's English name instead.


Let's see how you all fared in this Challenge...

[_____V_____]

BATTLE ROYALE IV - THE EIGHTH HUNTING ZONE OUTING

Sorry, Zombie Titans. It pains me to do this, but...

*motioning to the guards to open the gates leading into the Hunting Zone and lead the unarmed Zombie Titans team into it*


Hellspawns, here is your weapon for the hunting :-

It's a GRENADE LAUNCHER, loaded with ONE Grenade! Each Grenade is capable of causing damage worth FOUR HPs!!

In addition, Straker carries his STALKER SHIELD into the Zone with him, Chronogrl has her Crossbow with TWO arrows, and Weapon X carries with him his DOUBLE SHOT as well!!

(Zombie Titans Disease & MichaelMyers are asked to leave their weapons in their bunkers)


Send me your PMs regarding which Titan you choose as the target for your Grenade Launcher. You all have 36 hours (till Thursday, Noon EST) to make your choices.


ALSO, I DECLARE THE GIFTING OF HEALTH PACKS RULE AS ACTIVATED!



JUST A MINUTE, ALL OF YOU!!

Someone else will be joining both of you in the Hunt.

Take a look...

*ki - ki - ki ma - ma - ma*




It's JASON!!!

One hit from Jason's machete will cause DAMAGE WORTH 25 HPS!!!
AND HE WILL BE COMING AFTER BOTH TEAMS!!!


The Entire Zone is divided into FOUR distinct Sectors - Uno, Dos, Tres & Cuatro.
Contestants of both teams, you need to send me PMs regarding which Sector of the Zone you will be in. In case you fail to send me a PM clarifying this, a random area will be chosen for you!


Also, remember this Hellspawns, that if even ONE of you FAILS to fire their Grenade Launcher, ALL OF YOU stand to be SHOT FOUR TIMES by the Snipers in the Watchtowers!

I leave you to confer within your team, or take individual decisions on your own, whichever seems fit...

but your time in the Hunting Zone starts...NOW!!

And you were right. Stephen Gilbert's original "Ratman's Notebooks" is a great rfread, rife with social satire.
