The Hunger Games!
Returning to the Galaxy Cauldron's Role Playing Academy Gaming Center, The Hunger Games is an all-writing-experience-range rpg with three playable character types:
The Tributes:
Tributes are children between the age of 11 and 17 that are chosen from districts across Panem to participate in a battle to the death called The Hunger Games. Each child (one boy and one girl from each of the twelve districts) is selected through a lottery drawing on a day called "the Reaping", where they are then taken from their homes after a brief goodbye and taken to the Capitol via a train to begin their pre-game Training.
They meet their Champion, who helps them strategize for the arena, participate in a parade to show off this year's tributes, and train in skills and abilities that might be useful in the Arena. They get little more than three days to prepare, and then they have one final interview with Caesar Flickerman before they leave civilization for the harsh reality of the Arena.
Once there, it's a battle to the death. Only one tribute will win the Hunger Games to become a Champion, and the Capitol will always have a victor.
---- RPers of Tributes are expected to be very active throughout the game; if you can't make at least two posts per day, you should expect to be killed off pretty soon due to negligence. There are 24 tributes in the Arena, bots and players alike, who would kill to find a sleeping/spaced out opponent.
Tributes can play their own champions, but cannot play a sponsor.
Tribute Gameplay details one Tribute Gameplay details two
The Champions:
Champions are previous winners of the Hunger Games, and their jobs are threefold: 1) help tributes train for the arena; help them form a strategy to win. 2) schmooze and win over sponsors to their tribute's cause. 3) use sponsor money to buy their tributes items they may need, and send them those items at the most opportune time. Send covert messages to help tributes win over sponsors to their cause.
----- RPers of Champions are expected to be active - at least two posts per day (even if it's just reacting to the carnage on screen). They cannot attempt to schmooze a sponsor outside the game board, but within, anything goes.
Champions can play their own Tributes, but cannot also play a sponsor.
Champion Gameplay
The Sponsors:
Sponsors are wealthy citizens of the capitol that are there to see a good game. They've got money, but whether they spend it to sponsor a tribute or not is their prerogative. They just want to have a good time, and a Happy Hunger Games!
---- Sponsor RPers are to be active - aim for at least one post per day. They do not by any means need to spend their money - especially on unworthy/boring tributes - but spending cash and making champions work for it is always fun, in a twisted sort of way.
People playing sponsors may not play any other role in this game due to a conflict of interests.
Sponsor Gameplay
The game is involved and can be quite addictive and nerve-wracking, with danger around every corner for tributes and amusing surprises for Sponsors (Champions, your job is kinda high stress, lol). As with every RP Game here in the Gaming Center, it's run as a mix between a strategy game and a table-top style roleplay game (Yep, think Dungeons and Dragons with the dice rolling and Game Master. Mwahahaha), and after our first Hunger Games game, rules and procedures have been modified to streamline the experience for the better.
This time around we will be having more pre-arena events to keep abreast of; please look forward to them!
To sign up for this Hunger Games RP Game Event, respond below with the following:
Username: Role: (Tribute, Champion, Sponsor) Character Name: (Please choose a name similar to your Username, or change your title to your character's name when the game begins!) Preferred District: (Choose your top three preferred district, if you have a preference)
For now I'm going with one character per person (Unless you want to double up with a Tribute AND Champion; all other combos are off limits rn); depending on our final numbers, I might allow a person to play two tributes.
LET THE REAPING FOR THE 24TH ANNUAL HUNGER GAMES BEGIN!

Well I haven't really seen the movie or read the book, so I'm rather in the dark here. I'll give it a shot anyway, after all what could POSSIBLY go wrong?

Ray, I would have said read back on the last game but there were so many OOC posts it's hard to read. I've never seen the movie and can't remember the books too well but it's fine.
Also, Kyra, if you need more Tributes and me being in a different time zone isn't an issue than I can be one.
Question, tho - if I got killed as a Tribute, could I continue the game as a sponsor (less cash depending on game stage or whatever)? ❤

^^ I think being in a different time zone would be okay! Each "day" will last two real-life days ((because of school ^^')) so you could send in actions and whatnot without a problem!
As items will become more and more expensive as time goes on, I think adding in a sponsor (or two) with a smaller purse later would be okay.
And RayOfHope, knowledge of the books / movie isn't necessary! n__n Just know that only one can survive, and you're fine XD Also, as it's DnD style, all major actions/item finding/etc go through me - I roll to see if you get it or do the aciton safely and whatnot.

Kyra, when will this be officially starting? I just realised I go on holiday on the 15th, so if it's still a few days away I don't know if I should risk being a Tribute. ;.;

Hmm... Well, the starting festivities / "pre-arena" RP should take about a week (maybe a week and a half), so, if everything goes according to plan, Caesar's interview should be this Sunday (the 13th) with the arena opening on the 14th.
o.o or i could postpone the cornucopia for Saturday the 19th. I'MMA MAKE A POLL.

Districts have been decided!
District Assignments, through Random Number Generator wrote:
District Two - Career District Masonry and Weaponry, Trains, Peacekeepers - Ribbon (Aurae!) Champion: Shimmer (Cerechan)
District Four - Career District Fishing - Raymond (RayOfHope) Champion: Ura(NaoUranus)
District Five - Power - Ana (Anaitlovesall) Champion: Allen(Light)
District Six - Transportation - Lana* (SenshiRei) *scheduling issue possibility
District Seven - Lumber - Luanne (Cerechan)
District Ten - Livestock - Hayleigh (Hiddenheartsvenus)
Assignment for Champions and Tributes! All Tributes!
I need your age. (between age 11 and 17)
I need your Reaping Story. A Reaping Story is a short little work (idk, between 50 and 500 words) about what your character went through during the Reaping (where names are drawn out of giant bowls, one for the girls, one for the boys. How many times your name is put into the bowl is determined by how often you traded your name for a month's supply of rations for your family). Most important things to mention: Did you volunteer, or were you chosen?, are you single or involved in a romantic relationship?, are you particularly close to a specific family member?.
Both of these are due no later than Thursday.
Tributes without a Champion:
Do you want a champion? See if you can convince someone else to join as your champion XD So long as I get them in before Thursday they're in!
otherwise, start looking for what you want to wear in the Tribute Parade. You can search google images or draw it on a napkin, describe it in words, whatever; the only guiding rule is that it has to in some way embody your district.
Parade Outfits are due by Friday.
Tributes with Champions (and those champions):
Say Hi To Each Other. XD You'll be working together throughout the game, so break the ice! How, you ask?
You need to decide on your tribute's Parade Outfit. See above for details. Parade Outfits are due by Friday.
Schedule of Events Dates so far: Reaping stories - Thursday ((the board opens for Sponsors to remark upon reaping stories and enthuse about the games!)) Parade - Friday night post date ((live RP via GC Chat Boards for our Sponsors!)) Training - Saturday and Sunday* ((maybe longer?)) ((private board opens for tributes to interact with each other)) Caesar's Interview - Sunday night* ((depending on how long training lasts)) Cornucopia - after that o_o I'll announce before Caesar's interview so people can be on for it. ((champions join sponsors on game board))

Woot! I'll get to work on mine. Also I'm going to take a moment to giggle over my district. Livestock is so fitting really considering my country/farmer roots.
