It's a bit of both =) See, in each round you'll probably either face:
The Elements (blizzard, etc.)
Another RPer
Wild Pokemon
So...most likely you'll die if you face another RPer, unless you'd like to form an alliance with them. As far as facing the elements, a snowy field will be very interesting I believe. Also everyone will technically face them, but that means you're more likely to die because the makers have targeted you. For wild Pokemon, if you don't write a good enough post you either:
Won't Capture It
Won't Get Away
And you'll have to keep fighting until it decides to stay away or you catch it.
