User blog:JERealize/21st Century All-Regional Pan-American 'Hunger Games' Tournament Spring 2011

(Disclaimer: I have discovered that the title is misleading, given that I will only ask for Tributes from the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. Central America and the Caribbean, as well as Greenland, Bermuda, and Saint Pierre and Miquelon will be added in the next Games, and South America will follow after that.)

Remember, the Tournament starts on April 5, 2011.

That's right! I have modernized the mid-millenial Capitol style into a 380-way brawl! I will ask for two boys and two girls (regardless of age, since this is a blog) from each of the following 95 states/provinces/territories in North America:

50 U.S. States (D.C. is counted along with Maryland on this one)

1 U.S. Territory (Puerto Rico)

10 Canadian Provinces (Ottawa is counted with Ontario on this one)

3 Canadian Territories (Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut)

31 Mexican States (Mexico, D.F. will be counted along with the state of Mexico on this one)

Each person will come from one of these states or provinces and will have to fill out this list with their username. If you see someone else's name filled out on your state and gender, you won't compete.

To be part of this, just send me a message on this talk page. Remember, only two males and two females will be chosen from each region, so sign up quickly. Also, I will also ask for certain extra info in the comments page.

The names will be chosen for posting on April 5, 2011, so act now! Those name slots that will not be filled out by that deadline will contain names of participating Tributes that do not exist in real life. Prepare for the 21st Century All-Regional Pan-American 'Hunger Games' Tournament! (WOW; now that is a mouthful.)

BTW, I will be one of the two males from California in the tournament.

Reaping Process
As JERealize:

Our family stood out in Main Street in our little city of Porterville, waiting for the verdict, crowded in by the tens of thousands forced to attand. We huddled together, both afraid of the hard times to come and shivering from the 5 o' clock-in-the-morning air. The mayor came upon his pedestal infront of the Chamber of Commerce, announcing that the Tributes shall be chosen as is, and will not at all receive volunteers.

That meant, whoever is chosen will not be spared.

That's when the 12-foot screen, although not your ordinary television screen, showed the Governor, Jerry Brown, waltz over to the two giant reaping balls, this time in the form of bingo ball shufflers or whatever. Of course, the ladies were chosen first (a trend set a while ago), and came up with InsertRandomnessHere and Elviaalova.

To be continued...

Second Act: Arriving in Headquarters
I will tell this story when the time comes.

Third Act: The Introductions
Since the total amount of Tributes will be waaaay too big to handle throughout the Games, Headquarters has decided to start up an online website to share all upcoming Tribute news in the following days, including introductions done on each Tribute, training scores, and interviews (the parade and interviews will still be done on national television, along with their internet counterparts), as well as their progress in the Games. Because of this, all people are given free (although mediocre unless you upgrade) online-based computers that are only allowed to access the tournament website and its many files and nothing else.

BTW, the website also gave us this clue as to the arena: "We got this area cheap from a previous movie production. I can't believe this area stayed fresh after it has been destroyed a couple dozen times."

The Parade
TBA

Fourth Act: The Training
Again, I will have to tell this story when the time comes, and I will also have to ask certain others to share some of their stories that are compatible with mine and subsequent stories that are yet to follow.

The Training Scores
TBA

Fifth Act: The Interviews
Remember, since there are so many Tributes, I will have to highlight only the main points for each interview period.

Sixth Act: Before the Games
It's the same deal; I will tell my story and others may tell it when the time comes.

Seventh Act: The Games
TBA

"We got this area cheap from a previous movie production. I can't believe this area stayed fresh after it has been destroyed a couple dozen times."
