Since I've been here there have been two DA's. The first DA had a huge number of participants, the theme was very similar to hunger games, obviously with many more unique twists. Contestants were against each other and fought to be the victor, there were artifacts for prizes and items that could be used for tools (healing, strategic based, or bombs) others were just props for RP. You'd write within the time frame you were given and then when two characters that were not allies stepped on the same part of the map a PVP instantly happened and characters battled each other. Karl (the host/ Alex) wrote those up based on your character's style, and skill set. Damage could be dealt to both sides and there was a loser of the fight and up until the end did people's damage points start going down enough to die (Though people did die all the time).
-> There was one victor and one survivor. The other people took "second place, third place" an the prizes and arties were like that as well.
Year two was more freedom based, imo, the "to-be participants" crash landed on an island and some CRAZY stuff went down. You got to choose too! There was a lot of plot, and it was more of "the best writer will win" themed and not so PVP themed. You could still get damaged, but it was mostly player fodder. It was your character verses the island instead of the other characters. You'd follow the clues Karl gave you and the choices you'd make IC (very much like DnD) and your character would be lead to either their demise, or to another clue. Secondaries were allowed in this one but they also had the consequence of "final death."
Multiple people survived last year's da however there was still only one victor. You were allowed to continue writing even if you were eliminated but had not died. Karl and them rode off into the sunset. Prizes were mostly om that year, and it was less competitive against characters and teaming up had some really good plot benefits.
=D feel free to ask me to elaborate on some points I didn't make. Or if anyone else sees this and wants to add stuff!
