  1. Day 1: Dale, the male tribute from district 6 sat quietly in the bus as it shot down the road. The Capitol had advertised that next year they would have hovercrafts to deliver the tributes, but this year they still had to resort to more "old fashioned" methods of transportation. They had hopped on a plane and flew for a couple hours. One of the girl tributes, no more than 13 and clearly terrified of flying, cried the entire time. they landed in an old abandoned airport. Dale saw signs that read "eppley airfield" from there, they got on a bus and rode for two more hours. Most of the tributes were asleep, their anxiety giving away to pure exhaustion. Many of them had only managed a few hours of sleep of the past week. Dale had gotten a good rest so far, but now found sleep difficult. He was curious as to where they were going. The bus they were on didn't have any windows, and the airports name hadn't been familiar. Finally the bus pulled to a stop. The tributes were ushered out. The bus was in some form of large, man made cavern. From there they were ushered into a large room. "Games launch in an hour" The man from the Capitol said tersely. "Make your final preparations" then left. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dale sat in his tube watching the nearby clock count down from two minutes. He, like all the tributes, had been given a light green utilitarian jumpsuit. He rocked impatiently from foot to foot, nervous. He looked over at the girl tribute from his district and smiled. He'd always liked her. Deep down, he knew if it came to her and him, he wouldn't be able to do it. They probably wouldn't make it that far. 10... 9.... 8...7...6...5....4...3...2...1.... The motors in his tube activated and was lifted into the arena. The first thing that stood out was the cornucopia. In the past, he'd seen hunger games with 20 foot tall cornecopias overflowing with supplies. This one was barely 5 feet tall and had less then a dozen items. The second thing he noticed was the arena. It was a large field, extending for miles in all direction. A large river extended north to south just east of the starting point. On the far side of the river was a Forrest. The last thing that drew his attention was the cows. Large bovines chewed grass idly all around. The observation time had begun and it was time for all the tributes to decide whether or not to try for the cornecopia. I need your cornecopia decisions by personal message in the next 24 hours! Just to be clear: there's no attacking this cycle. Also, dale won't affect gameplay, I'm just using him to tell the story.

  2. Granted. You now are physically incapable of ever being more than 3 miles away from him. If he gets on a plane and you don't, your body is dragged through the air behind it. I wish to be a windrunner
  3. Just to be clear, sign ups are OPEN still until midnight (mountain time) tonight. If you were thinking about playing, we would still love to have you.
  4. Alright, everybody. Sign ups have pretty much stopped. Game will start and sign ups will end tomorrow night! Happy hunger games and may the odds be ever in your favor. In the mean time, feel free to role play your interviews. Standard interview questions: 1)what went through your head as your name was chosen (or you volunteered) 2)wat do like most about the Capitol? 3)why will YOU win the hunger games?
  5. The crew after kel died?
  6. I see your, point, and I think it might be cool. It also might encourage more role play if people are trying to tell a good story to attract sponsors. A lot of my worry is that I don't want to turn this into a popularity contest, or a writing contest for that matter.
  7. No, afraid not. I thought about having people in the spec doc voting to help people, but I didn't want their whims to affect the game. We'll start when we have 24 people or when I feel that we're not going to get anymore signups. The game should start before Christmas for sure.
  8. Hmm... Here's what I've got: Nalizar: Wes Bentley (he's the game maker from the first hunger games.)
  9. Hmm.. How 'bout half a kill? I suppose beating the crap out of some mutt gets you some credit with the sponsors, but not as much as for a fellow tribute.
  10. The items are split randomly amongst the attacking parties. The mutts count as an attacking party. If they would get an item from a kill, it is lost to the arena . If the player was killed by dehydration, the items are lost to the arenaEDIT: another rules clarification: PM rules regarding alliances ARE in effect now even though the game hasn't completely started.
  11. Nope. This is before his time. Interestingly enough, the current presidents name is president king.naming pattern remind you of anyone? The Lord ruler perhaps?
  12. Here we have a winner! Ignacio it is
  13. Nope and nope. No one's got the right book even yet
  14. Nope. It's Sanderson, but not cosmere.
