I know this sounds fucked but I really want to see this happen.

Hopefully the millionaire guy doesn't pull the switcheroo and reveal the airsoft guns have real fucking bullets in them.

See this is why I love Republicans. Can you imagine the pain and suffering of these poor billionaires when they don't have tax breaks aimed at the richest 1 percent helping them to add $95,000,000 tropical islands to their online shopping carts? Can you imagine the agony when they had to make the difficult decision between their sixth yacht in the marina or their third chateau on the French Rivera? Those tax breaks saved their lives.

If you don't understand, well clearly you're just bereft of empathy. The Republicans know that Jesus Christ always said "fuck the poor, take everything you can, and put all your wealth into earthy possessions." Or something like that. I'm not a theological scholar. Basically, thank you, President Trump.

So it says I can return this island within 14 days of delivery, but like how do they fit it in my mailbox

Just enough time to set up SAM sites and get your paramilitary troops on there.

Buy island, defend it up, return it for full value. Keep repeating on islands and port cities until you control the seas.

The twist is that in the fine print of the contracts you have to pay an exorbitant fee if you do any dance moves, and they will be playing music throughout the whole island so the millionaire is gonna make out like a bandit

This sounds like it would be better suited as a TV / game show actually.

This millionaire has got to watch it somehow, right? Aren't they going to get a camera crew? Then they might as well stream it, and there you go.

It can easily be livestreamed with drones that fly around looking for the action and gopros mounted on the players.

Now...is there going to be a ring that closes? What's the round structure gonna be like?

Welp I've basically got a draft of how something like this would play out both in the safe and non safe style so I'm just gonna forward those details to him.

Strap go pros to the heads of all the contestants and maybe make them wear an earbud. Then you can charge folks to tell these people what to do. Like a video game!

There was a movie about this, something to do with paintball. I think it was literally called Paintball.

I always knew it was only a matter of time before Notch moved on to hunting the most dangerous game.

I would probably pay good money to play IRL BR tbh. A employee could help steer the parachute then fuck off once you land. The only hard part would be confirming kills, but if it worked like lazer tag or something it could work.

This would be cool to watch but the upfront costs involved would make it a huge waste of money for almost everyone participating.

Just do it in the woods in America.

Honestly I'm not surprised one of the big networks hasn't tried to throw this together already. It's probably in development.

This does kinda seem like the natural evolution of paintball. Not sure how they're gonna handle the "circle" though. That's a pretty important part of BR. Also there's nowhere for the "killed" players to go to stay out of the way.

They can get shipped off or head to some designated location for refreshments and cameras and tv broadcasts.

You can handle the circle with tracking devices and GPS positioning.
