User blog:IMrJones/The 57th Annual Hunger Games

Welcome, Welcome!
Welcome to the 57th Annual Hunger Games. This is the first Hunger Games that I'm running, so it should be fun. The tracking of the tributes health, how sponsoring will work and the arena will be explained below.

I would like to give a shout out/send a thank you to SkyTimeGirl. Her 162nd Hunger Games were a big inspiration for these, and I drew from her games to help me set these up. Thank you, Sky. :)

The Arena
The Arena is a diamond shaped area. There are two main sections of the arena, north & south. The north is a barren wasteland. Food is scarce here and water even more hard to come by. The south is a lush rain forest. Though it looks welcoming, it is inhabited by dozens of dangerous creatures and becomes extremely cold at night. While food and water are in abundance here, only the best of the best will be able to survive. The north will be referred to as the Desert, while the south will be referred to as the Forest. As the Tributes approach the northern or southern points, the conditions they will experience will get worse by the step. However, they do not know this.

With the Arena being roughly 30 miles from northern point to southern point, The Cornucopia rests directly in the middle, fifteen miles from each point. At a neutral point, if you will, between the two extremes that are the north and south. It is a bronze colored metal horn, similar to the one seen in the Hunger Games movie. It is surrounded by a lush green field, which extends about one hundred yards in all directions. After this, a forest similar to that of those seen in the Northern United States extends for another hundred yards before the northern and southern climates 'kick in'.

It will be stocked with a mix of weapons and backpacks. The weapons will be split evenly among the different types, and the backpacks will contain mystery items. The mystery items could be anything from a pack of matches to a hunting knife to some medical supplies. Point is; The contents of the backpacks are completely and utterly random. The most valuable weapons and packs, as always, have been placed nearest the Cornucopia.

You will have three choices when the Games begin;
 * 1) Jump into the fighting, killing as many tributes as you can.
 * 2) Run for supples and then book it out of there.
 * 3) Run from the Cornucopia and hope for the best.

Submit a Tribute
If you're interested in joining these Hunger Games, use the following form to submit them to the games. Keep in mind when you are filling it out that I reserve the right to deny a Tribute's entry into the game should I feel like they are over-powered.

You may only have two tributes, no more.

Tributes
If a majority (15+) have signed up but we are having trouble filling the remaining spots, I will fill those spots with Tributes that will die during the Cornucopia Bloodbath or die shortly after it.

Training Sessions
This section will be filled in once all of the Tributes are reaped and the training sessions occur.

Favor of Winning
This consists of the top five only.

Alliances
If you are interested in allying with another tribute, please contact them and make sure they also wish to ally with you. Once you have confirmed they do wish for their tribute to be allies with your tribute, let me know in a comment and I will add you to the list.

Sponsoring
You may sponsor any tribute that is not your own. Every Sponsor starts off with $750, and the prices go up five dollars every day. You may only sponsor one tribute at a time. If you wish to change the tribute you are sponsoring, let me know and I will change it. You may only change your sponsored tribute twice.

Sponsors
This will be filled in once a Sponsor steps forward.

Announcements
Changes to any of the rules will be posted here.
