An illegal fight to death event idea

[tfmachad]

...
as for getting the cops to fight each other, I think when your life is on the line, you don't have all that much choice. *Points to gladiators*

Actually, gladiators didn't have much of a life to begin with. They were either poor men, criminals, slaves, prisoners of war. Fighting was a chance to change their lives somehow.

As you've seen I've marked PoWs. I wonder if law enforcers would subject to barbarism against other men they'd consider equal to themselves, without having been subject to a long term captivity through which their survival instincts and desperation would replace their civility. What I'm trying to say is that a scenario in which these men would be kidnapped and right after put to fight wouldn't sound so realistic as one in which they would be already captive for a long time, subject to bad treatment and then given the opportunity to reclaim their old lives if they agree with fighting each other. You wouldn't even have to tell them who is it they're fighting against. It is both more interesting and less in different senses. If you want to play with the psychological and morals of these men, then letting them know they're fighting "equals" to them is interesting. If you're concerned solely with the fight, not telling them will let them relinquish from the little civility they might still possess.

In a scenario where these men were just recently abducted from their respective spaces (even though I was reluctant in bringing this out clean, since I'd go for this if it was me to participate), I think they'd try and escape and/or fight their captors.

This opens up the possibility of writing (if anyone is interested) about their times as captive. Even if that is just a brief description of their abduction and perhaps their interrogation and torture.

...
So who wants in?
List your volunteering characters here.

If you want to go with this concept of long term PoW guys, I would be willing to make one Rheinlander character if nobody else is interested in promoting this event.
