Beat the Odds

Beat the Odds is a series by BT Productions.

## Premise

At least 200 characters are in one simulation on the Murder Games Simulator. The objective is to become sole survivor. The goal seems simple, but to actually get it, the RNG must really favor you. The traditional Beat the Odds game has characters split based on their source material, and is also the only version (other than Item Beat the Odds) where characters can bring weapons other than pets at the start of the game. However, while Item Beat the Odds allows ancient scepters and wish rings at the start, traditional Beat the Odds restricts those items (only specific peaceful characters get ancient scepters, while those unaffiliated get wish rings).

### Frenzy Clause

BT Productions thought that winning Beat the Odds while frenzied was unfair because it makes the opponents assume that all you have to do to win is assume an unstable persona. As such, this clause activates if the last kill was a frenzied kill. The supposed winner has to calm down from his/her/their frenzy for the win to count. If the supposed winner dies and the "frenzied" detail is still there, then the win is invalid. Korekiyo Shinguji bypasses this clause because of his nickname "Super Prince Korekiyo". This clause will not be in effect during simulations that celebrate a Beat the Odds milestone, such as over 900 characters in a single game. There used to be a rule that states the final two cannot be frenzied at the same time, but since that scenario is more likely to end in a frenzy heart attack, that rule has since been removed.

### Pacifist Clause

Since there are too many missed opportunities for a pacifist victory, BT Productions added this clause. If the winner remained a pacifist until the very end, and the only kill was a retaliation kill at the very end, then the victory is technically a pacifist victory. For the sake of encouraging fairness, this clause won't activate if the winner had to retaliate a previous time before the very end of the simulation.

#### Justice For Pacifists

This is another feature of the Pacifist Clause. If a character remained a pacifist until the Final 3, then BT Productions will have mercy on the character and add him/her/them to the winners list as a pacifist. BT Productions will only add a character if that character is not on the list yet.

### Mewtwo's Challenge

This challenge is named after Mewtwo, the first character to successfully perform this feat. Basically, the challenge is that you have to win Beat the Odds the game you are added to the cast. Because of the large number of characters already in the game, this challenge is a tough one to accomplish. In the case of a Beat the Odds game not following the rules, the game is rendered non-canon and the new characters can reattempt Mewtwo's Challenge.

## Spin-Offs

The subheadings below list spin-offs of Beat the Odds.

### Alphabet Beat the Odds

A spin-off of Beat the Odds where everyone is instead split based on the first letter in their names. This allows for some new interactions between characters that would never be together in traditional Beat the Odds. However, since it is a spin-off, the only weapons allowed at the start are pets. In this spin-off, no one is unaffiliated.

#### Teams

* Team A
* Team B
* Team C
* Team D
* Team E
* Team F
* Team G
* Team H
* Team I
* Team J
* Team K
* Team L
* Team M
* Team N
* Team O
* Team P
* Team Q
* Team R
* Team S
* Team T
* Team U
* Team V
* Team W
* Team X
* Team Y
* Team Z

### Bombs Away Beat the Odds

This spin-off of Beat the Odds uses a Guide Dang It that allows the set-up to be manipulated. This variant combines Snowball and Rocket in that characters start the game with both grenades and rocket launchers.

### Flames of Hope Beat the Odds

A spin-off of Beat the Odds where everyone is armed with flamethrowers. Like in Solo Beat the Odds, everyone fights everyone here. It is difficult to win this version, since two opponents can incinerate each other in the *Flames of Hope*, thus leaving no winner if the opponents happen to be the two finalists.

### Fully Loaded Beat the Odds

This spin-off of Beat the Odds uses a Guide Dang It that allows the set-up to be manipulated. All characters are armed with every item that could be assigned to them at the start of a game, meaning the only obtainable items are clothing unless the grenade, magic wand, and wish ring get used up. This is also a rare case where the teams remain the same from traditional Beat the Odds. Essentially, this set-up is a chaotic game left at the mercy of the Beat the Odds rules. It may be rare for a game to successfully end in a winner.

### Gender Beat the Odds

A spin-off of Beat the Odds where there are three massive teams, each based on a gender. All characters are split into male, female, or non-binary. No one is unaffiliated.

#### Teams

* Males
* Females
* Non-binary

### Guns Drawn Beat the Odds

This spin-off of Beat the Odds uses a Guide Dang It that allows the set-up to be manipulated. All characters are armed with handguns, shotguns, and laserguns.

### Item Beat the Odds

A spin-off of Beat the Odds where everyone is split based on the weapon they bring into the start of the simulation. It is the only spin-off where weapons are allowed at the start, specifically ancient scepters and wish rings. No one is unaffiliated.

### Make a Wish Beat the Odds

A spin-off of Beat the Odds where everyone is armed with a wish ring. Everyone is unaffiliated so there is no reviving, but the peace wish may still happen.

### Magic Beat the Odds

A spin-off of Beat the Odds where everyone is armed with a magic wand. BT Productions likes to wait for the moment someone obtains an ancient scepter and causes mayhem. Later, a Guide Dang It was utilized, manipulating the set-up such that the characters start with both magic wands and ancient scepters. But the magic wand variant still exists in case the trick gets patched.

### No Traps Beat the Odds

A spin-off of Beat the Odds where no one has the survivalist perk. This means there are no traps to worry about, and no one risks bleeding out. Some characters who are normally survivalists are changed to fit the new ruling.

#### Changed Characters

* Dragonlord (lunatic/devious)
* Maki Harukawa (unstable/goth)
* Rantaro Amami (peaceful/kind)

### Perk Beat the Odds

A spin-off of Beat the Odds where everyone is instead split based on their perks. The team a character ends up in depends on the first perk, so a leader/devious (like Seth Rollins) would be in the Leader team while a devious/leader (like Kokichi Oma) would be in the Devious team. No one is unaffiliated.

#### Teams

* Nobodies: No perks.
* Leaders: Leader perk.
* Peace: Peaceful perk.
* Sociopaths: Sociopath perk.
* Kindness: Kind perk.
* Frenzy: Unstable perk.
* Bulk: Bulky perk.
* Weak: Meek perk.

* Survivalists: Survivalist perk.
* Money: Rich perk.
* Inventors: Inventor perk.
* Goths: Goth perk.
* Lunatics: Lunatic perk.

### Pets Galore Beat the Odds

This spin-off of Beat the Odds uses a Guide Dang It that allows the set-up to be manipulated. All characters have the three pets (wolf, tiger, turtle) at the start of the game.

### Rocket Beat the Odds

A spin-off of Beat the Odds where everyone is armed with a rocket launcher. Everyone is in the same teams from Traditional Beat the Odds, as rockets can kill more than one character at a time.

### Snowball Fight Beat the Odds

A spin-off of Beat the Odds where everyone is armed with grenades. Grenades are one-time use, so once it is used up, a character has to be lucky to find another one.

### Solo Beat the Odds

A spin-off of Beat the Odds where it is everyone against everyone. No teams, no attempted interventions, just pure ambushing and weapon mayhem.

### Tag Team Beat the Odds
