Millionaire Wants To Hold 100-Person Battle Royale Event On Private Island

Sign me up!

How takedowns could work with sensitive armor? In paintball you just demand surrender if you catch your adversary off guard.

So where do I sign up?

Do you have to jump out a plane?

Oh shit is Ja Rule back at it again?! Fyre Festival 2: BR Edition.

that would be cool and all but what if that touch sensitive armor gets whacked by a twig or something?

Player X wins!

***earth rumbling***

Gate opens and a giant scorpion comes out...

I'd watch it. Hell, I'd kind of be interested in competing in it.

Aren't outdoor, supervised / monitored (and of course payed-for) paintball games the exact same principle?

I've been to one such place long ago, during the mid 90s. The areas for the battles themselves (and of course owned by the paintball company) were probably isolated, but the total owned and playble-on land was big enough to accommodate up to 4 teams of around 15 players each if I recall correctly, or it might actually have been more per teams (possibly 20 per). One such 'area' was a two face-to-face forts ("forts" made out of pretty good quality wood but it was visually crude, but functional for taking cover and firing from small holes or openings), similar to capture the flag maps in Unreal Tournament. Another area was plain and simple inside the woods of that private terrain basically. It was pretty big. I think that our final battle (at the "forts") was a combination of the 4 original separate teams then forming just two bigger teams to fight it out with our last balls of paint in our guns (it was possible of course to go buy more at some kiosk). We must have been anywhere between 60 to 80 players for that one last match.

All in all, you had to pay on arrival but you'd spend most of the afternoon there. If I remember some food was given as well for diner time as part of the price (nothing fancy, just some chicken sandwiches and chips + beverages I think, or something like that, similar to something you'd go buy at Subway). I remember going there with my cousin and 2 other friends. It wasn't too expensive (at the time though, today it might be well beyond what it used to be). We had a good amount of fun. Everything was secure and safe from what I remember. We had supervisors and 'arbiters' (security agents I think) monitoring the matches with a clear visually distinguishable outfit and they had medkits with them as well but they were also in authority to remove you from the match if you didn't behave properly or even if you tried to cheat in any way.

Anyway, if anything; it was pretty much similar to what is being described with probably the one big exception of the actual geographical location it might happen to if some Millionaire wants to make it happen on some private island. But otherwise I pretty much experienced it before and the scale wasn't too small either (obviously not as big as an actual island or the maps in the actual Battle Royale games, but as far as "real life" battle royale goes it did the job just fine). On a side note I don't know if those paintball places still exist today or if it's still popular or in a decline, but the one and only time I did experienced it I can say it was definitely fun. I would recommend it as long as the place is owned by professionals and serious people with good equipment, safety rules and guidelines to follow, etc (which was the case where I went to back then).

Sounds great. Until the Health and Safety w8nkers get involved. It'll probably be banned before it starts.

But hopefully this guy can get it off the ground.

Ok when this nerds will use paragliders, 90% of then will be killed on landing, lol

This sounds like the plot to a horror movie where you get there and find out the "airsoft" guns are actually real guns.

That's a hard pass from me.

This sounds pretty interesting, if I'm being honest

The first place prize should be the island.

I'm sure the Simpsons did a parody of this once with Mr Burns hunting people.

Sounds like the plot for a movie.

That kind of reminds me of that manga/anime "Btooom!" where several people got thrown onto an island and had to fight each other.

Airsoft? So not quite the most dangerous game.

Is this an add for the secret crew that made Hostel?

Once he gets everyone there he’ll say that he lied and they are playing for blood. Enjoy.

crazy rich people lol

First place winner gets chicken dinner of course.
