Oh. My. Goodness. I wish to be as epic as that Caesar Flickerman. o.o

You are in my books already.  

Seriously I can't wait for this to start *bounces up and down in her seat*

I am interested in joining this as it is seems so in depth and fun (and Clue was so very exciting <3) but I am worried that since this is so in depth that my time zone will be a hindrance. It always has been kind of difficult joining in on games like these because of time zone issues xD But this seems like it might be extraly problematic with such a detailed game  Maybe just a sponsor would be best?

Rofl! I love that video! And I love the hillywood show. Have you ever seen their parodies for Twilight? Hysterical!

I love that parody! Thunder and I geek out all the time on those videos....

Alright, I think I understand now. And it makes me want to play as tribute even more... xD

   I'm sorry that response time will be a big thing in this - people should be sending in movement directions to me throughout the day and such.  I'll have to come up with another game in the future that doesn't depend as much on time.    I'll put you down as a sponsor.

The solution for Verdi's problem = She moves to the USA or ALL of us move to Europe, specifically Sweden. xD

Before Friday.

 That's doable. Pack today, fly tomorrow. Let's hit the road!

I don't have time to pack today I gotta go work until midnight

so Verdi's just going to have to move to the US

Nah, Verdi's got it better in Europe. They have soda without high fructose corn syrup in it!!!

GC road trip time!!!!! 

I am reeeally looking forward to this game starting. Even tho I cant be a tribute, I think it's going to be awesome!

So far it looks like we have enough Tributes for three districts.

Hahaha you all are so awesome  I hope you know that!!

It's ok verdandi, we will just have to kick chibi at our champion roles. We'll show em how it's done.

So....



....


need a few more tributes....  

Yes more tributes! Because really, who doesn't want to RP really good death scenes?

So wow there's really only 6 tributes so far? 

Sign up people! this will be fun!

pokepokepoke

^^' I'm thinking of ending the sign-ups today since the interest has dwindled off a bit. That way, we can GET TO  KILLING FASTER! =D Er, RPing faster. of course.  ...however, I won't be able to really start-start the game tomrrow since I'll be at another training thing (believe me when I say I'm definitely getting paid for all this training, lmao), but we can at least open up the polls for when to do the LIVE INTERVIEW. 

So, CHECK OUT THE NEW POLL ON THE FRONT PAGE and vote for when you want to do the

I voted for Friday evening at 7. That gives me time to get my son squared away for bedtime and stuff. Woot woot. Let the killing begin...er RPing I mean. Yeah >.>

I'm going to be traveling Friday evening from my city out to the suburbs, so I voted for a later time since I'm not absolutely sure when I'll arrive at my destination.

Okay. So obviously we're not doing this tonight. XD ((Though I applaud the person who voted for tonight! Sorry!)) 

Make sure to vote! Sign-ups end TOMORROW!

That was me. xD

But I figured that no one would go for it besides me! xD

NEW COOL THING: Preliminary Game Rules and Gameplay! Please read and comment with questions if you have any! Current is tribute only ^^'

Gameplay Rules wrote:

Status, Talents and Abilities

1.       Status: Energy, Hunger, Thirst.


a.       You start with 24 Energy points. Performing different actions lowers your energy points; being awake lowers energy points. Sleeping regains energy points. When your energy points fall below a critical level (3 points), your fighting rolls are negatively affected.

b.      You start with 32 Hunger Points. Moving around lowers hunger points; being awake lowers hunger points. Eating regains hunger points. When your hunger points fall below a critical level, your performance is negatively affected. If your hunger points reach 0, you die.

c.       You start with 32 Thirst Points. Moving around and performing actions lowers thirst points; being awake lowers thirst points. Drinking regains thirst points. When your thirst points fall below a critical level, your performance is negatively affected. If your thirst points reach 0, you die.

2.     
  Talents and Abilities: Talents to be used in the field. Each ability helps you out in one way or another, though some may also hurt your chances of survival even as they help you. (Example: fire building). Each character is allowed two talents. Talents can have specific abilities attached – abilities are the code words you must use to activate a certain talent.

Gameplay

1.       Moving


a.       Each tribute will be given a blank map at the start of the game. They can fill this map out as they go. There are 23 Zones in the map.

b.      When you are in a zone you can search for food, set up camp, make a trap, whatever you like; certain activities will eat up your status points, so be careful.

c.       Walking through a zone exhausts 4 Energy, 2 Hunger, 2 Thirst. 
                                                               i.      We suggest mainly walking through zones. As sleeping for 8 hours only replenishes 20 Energy points, we suggest walking a maximum of 4 zones per day, leaving 4 energy points for activities like hunting or making camp.
                                                             ii.      You would walk into a zone, and then later decide what zone you will move to next.

d.      Running through a zone exhausts 8 Energy, 4 Hunger, 4 Thirst.
                                                               i.      Running through a zone leaves no time to search the zone you’re running through. 
                                                             ii.      When running through a zone, you must choose which surrounding zone you want to go to. ((example; I want to run through zone A2. I will have to say where I want to end up – either B2, A3, or B3. You will be transferred there before you can perform any abilities))

e.      Staying Put exhausts 1 Energy, 1 Hunger, 1 Thirst.
                                                               i.      You can repeatedly examine/search an area to wipe it clean if you stay in that zone for multiple turns.

2.       Items


a.       You’ll gather items through examining or searching an area; you’ll gain more if a specific skill is involved. Items could be food, sleeping bags, backpacks, water bottles, etc.
b.      If your Champion purchases an item for you, you will be notified by a beeping and blinking parachute.



3.       Fighting


a.       When you engage another tribute, you can choose to talk them into being your ally, but most of the time it’ll end in a fight. 
b.      Read spoiler below (from sign-up thread)



On Fighting:




4.       Other Influences


a.       As Gamemaker, I’mma totally throw random crap at you in order to shake things up if people start getting comfortable.

Er, technical gameplay

1.       You control your game. I will state Sunrise and Sunset times on the game board, and you have the entire “day” to spend (or not spend) your energy points moving around.


a.       You could choose to use all of them as quickly as possible (You send me/mod an action, we tell you the result and how much energy you have left, you immediately perform another action, we continue until you’ve felt you’ve spent enough energy)
b.      You could choose to spread your actions out (Send an action, get a response, chill out a few hours (you know, live a little life, etc), send another action, etc. until the end of the day, where you decide near the last minute where you’ll set up camp)
c.       You could choose not to carry out any actions (this is the default; if you skip a “day”, your character just sits there and gets hungry, thirsty, and sleepy)
d.      BUT BE CAREFUL AND CHOOSE YOUR STRATEGY WISELY. You see, if no one is interacting with anyone else, the Capitol gets bored. When the capitol gets bored, sponsors lose interest, and GameMasters get fired. So I’ll be throwing stuff at you at random points throughout the day to make things interesting. If you’ve already spent all of your energy points… well, you might just be s.o.l.

2.       Moving at night…?


a.       You can move at night if you still have energy to spare at the end of the day. I’d prefer if you told me ahead of time so I can set up “night” hours for you. Same goes if you want to wake up in the middle of the night and move – just tell me so I can implement night time into the game.^^

3.       Travelling Alone


a.       When you play alone, you will pretty be PMing either me or my mod (you’ll get directions at the beginning of the game) with solitary RP posts. When you want to move you tell us what direction, we move you there and describe the environment, as well as update your stats. If you want to stay there and search, you stay there and search. If you want to move to the next zone, you can walk or run to/through the next zone. While you are working alone, you still want to make a post during your turns; if we think something was interesting, or if the rest of the tributes are being kinda boring, we might select a scene you are in to appear in the Main Board for the sponsors to see.

4.       Travelling In a Group


a.       If you form an alliance, I’ll send each person in your alliance a link to a game quicktopic for you to play on (saving PM boxes everywhere). You’ll have to decide together where and when to move or how to spend your respective energies. Any special info gained through talents will be PM’d to the person with the talent, to be shared or withheld from the alliance at her/his discretion. Any important/amusing/inspiring/etc. scenes will be reposted into the Game Board for sponsors and champions to see.

THAT RACCOON WILL OFFICIALLY BE PART OF THE GAME.

ROFL

xD ROFL! 

Nerds!!!
