I had a friend who showed me this website. Let's try something interesting. Think of a pair of Agents, Boarders, Flowers, Sues, Minis, and other things. Put them into the simulator at https://brantsteele.net/hungergames/disclaimer.php with a bunch of other Agents, Flowers, Sues, Minis , Agents, and all sorts of other dangerous things. Post what happens. Good luck, and may the odds be in your favour.
Yes, I finished the report from further down the thread. Excited to find out what happened? You should be!
PPC HQ Hunger Games: Season 2
With thanks to Undis Closed and Notte Ling for commentating, and to Iximaz for running the sim in the first place.
Looking forward to Season 3!
hS
Man, now I really wonder what Nume was thinking, and what he said to get everyone to cooperate. If I figure it out, I'll let you know.
Still, I'm rather proud of my boy. Even if it is all due to the great RNG in the sky. Too bad giving him a ranged weapon is the most useless thing anyone could have done. Stupid squirrels.
Kudos to Diocletian, of course. I'm sure she'll appreciate the trophy. I'll have to tell Tungsten Monk about this. ^_^
Thanks for writing this, hS!
~Neshomeh
Making it the final prize was also pretty fun, and show how much a fan of Johanna Mason the sponsor was.
Must admit, I would have used the squirrels as a the reaction to this last hatchet, though using them as an answer to the truce was a good choice.
I was rolling at the "another ******* hatchet" line.
*applauds*
Well done, hS, and I eagerly look forward to next season!
So Neshomeh and Phobos did a Hunger Games featuring their characters. July suggested I do one with mine.
That is not what I've done.
What I've done is a Hunger Games starring myself and Kaitlyn. And myself. And Kaitlyn. And myself. And...
So did you know there are more than 12 different self-insert versions of me and my wife on the PPC-related internet? :D
Before I link, though... I did this as a first-person commentary from inside the Arena. Thing is, I wrote it sight-unseen - I didn't know what the next section would bring until I'd finished the previous entry.
What I'm saying is, this is the darkest bit of fiction so far in this thread.
The Huinesunger Gaitlyns
(The logo blends from Kaitlyn Red to Huinesoron Green, because when I get an idea, I usually stick to it...)
hS
I like this first-person take on the concept. Sure, it's dark (especially with the whole "killing different versions of yourself" thing), but in a very effective way. I think that your going-in-blind approach helped build that sense of dread and nervousness.
That also gave me a bunch of ideas regarding a Hunger Games simulation of my own, so an additional thank you for that.
Watching the different narrators get killed off was more than just a little chilling. Bravo, and if you'll excuse me I'm off to cuddle my piggies.
Writing is good, no problem with that. But yeah, such style would be too dark for the event. And must admit I find the idea of mutiple avatars from the same persons killing each other really disturbing. In other words, the perfect Hunger Games.
... channel the happy-go-lucky side of my agents for the main event, promise.
hS
Well written.
-July, pondering
Sergio detailed the whole thing down below.
As written below, I'm preparing a pseudo-official season of the PPC HQ Hunger Games folowing Huinesoron's example. As this is supposed to be the following season, I will followhis example and set it up as an Holodeck simulation.
This will feature:
- 48 tribute line-up, to allow for as many Agents as we can to fit in!
- Edited events list to add more weapons, random events and PPC crazyness!
- This time, live on... Nutmeg TV, maybe? (AKA: I'll have two characters of mine do commentary from inside the arena. One possible death cause will, indeed, be a contestant attacking them only to be mowed down by submachine gun fire)
- Every contestant can provide their own comments at the end of each day. This will be done on the Board, I'll make a full readable document with everything in it afterwards.
So, according to Huinesoron's idea, every boarder who wants to join in can provide up to four contestants (a full district). If you don't have enough Agents, though, don't worry: you can team up with another Boarder, or even have your team topped up by free-to-use characters. I fully intend to throw a Flower or two in the battle if there are empty slots to be filled.
For each contestant I'll need: full name, shorter nickname to be used in the "report", gender, and a signature weapon or power. A link to an image would be appreciated if they don't have images on the Wiki page. The signature weapon/power is just for flavor in the commentary, as not all the death events mention a specific weapon and there are chances that no weapon was mentioned for the contestant beforehand.
My contestants, for example, are these:
Corolla (Corolla) (F) Magic energy darts
Rayson Kerman (M) Telescopic ladder
Sergio Turbo (Sergio) (M) Pistol
Nikki Cherryflower (Nikki) Magic energy sword
As Huinesoron and Iximaz already gave me their lists (I'll still need the signature attack method, though), there are still 36 spots left. Who's in?
So far, including Huinesoron's suggestion of adding Captain Dandy and Tiger Lily to the roster, I am at 46 players.
At this point, I think I will add to the last District Luxury (of course) and Dr. Fitzgerald.
Why the latter? Because this way he can have a better understanding on why Agents tend to injure themselves with crazy plans.
Please tell me you're leaving the 'snuggling' in. >:D
I assume you'll be making a new thread for this?
hS
Also because it has lots of potential.
In one of the test runs I made, Agent!Sergio got killed by Nikki (who, at this point in time, is his girlfriend) the turn after after he spent the night hugging another girl for warmth.
... I didn't remember making Nikki a yandere, but that would've been a good incipit for some more character development for those two.
Tomorrow I'll do the finishing touches on generator setup and we'll be ready to go!
I would love to see one-paragraph pre-Games interviews with the Tributes (as indeed happened in the books). It'd be a good chance to get my agents motivations down, too.
hS will stop now
Though I would have to deal with 48 of those, and I have no idea how they are made as I never actually read Hunger Games.
(I can, though - my sister's a fan. But I'm afraid I'm just not interested in the genre.)
Before the actual games begin, the tributes are interviewed on national television by eccentric host Caesar Flickerman, and the questions vary. Stuff like "why did you volunteer" or "do you think you have a shot at winning", just stuff like that.
... it would be simplest simply to have all 48 post single-paragraph statements. We can't be having with that 'interaction' malarkey.
hS
For my lot.
-July, who is getting an awful lot of use out of her tablet's mini-keyboard, all considering
I was thinking of writing up my commentary in the form of reality TV-style asides, where the camera crew catch up with the agents for a recap after the fact and also during free moments in the action, if possible.
*Derik camouflages himself in some bushes.*
"Hey, look, is that Derik? I think so! So, Agent Derik, any thoughts on—?"
"What—no, shh, shut up! Go away, scorch it! Oh, shards and shells, here they come. Thanks a lot!"
~Neshomeh
...the camera crew was promptly and brutally murdered by half a dozen bloodthirsty agents.
The two hosts have GodMode on and one of them has a P90 submachine gun.
Attacking the hosts is gound for immediate elimination from the game. Literal elimination.
Good thing it's all holodeck stuff.
"The camera crew made a beginner's mistake, and their deat was previsible. It doesn't help that the Agents are trapped in an environment looking like a Sue's diabetic paradise, and they're all short of bleeprin."
"-Well let's hope the next one will remember the Formation's video. But let's get back to the arena, where Derik is running away from now four agents. Te other are finishing off the cameraman"
"-The murdering glitter in their eyes, the imprecations they're screaming, the weaponry displayed, worthy of the Professor's phantasms... All these things renew my faith in the nobility of this sport and its future, Bobby."
"Ain't that true, Zach, ain't that true..."
Androia Avatar (Androia) (F) Quarterstaff
Hieronymus Graubart (HG) (M) The Sharp Sword of Reason
They aren’t exactly agents yet (I swear someday they will be), but they appeared at least in the badfic game’s PPC and in some writing exercises which sadly dropped off the Board.
HG
Considering the signups slowed a lot and I still have places left, I'll consider that enough.
I will be forced to do that myself, actually, as my Agents' district remained with an empty space (so I'll bring Rayson back. Something about him will be published soon, I swear) and I'll likely fill the last District with free-to-use characters.
Including Flowers. Now, which ones would actually be interested?...
He would absolutely welcome a guilt-free chance to test himself.
Which means the Tiger Lily would sign up just so he didn't one-up her.
(If you use these two and want someone to write commentaries for them, I volunteer as Tribute... actually that didn't need striking through. ^_~)
hS
Natalie (Nat) (F) A yellow-bladed lightsaber
Za'kiir (M) A couple of throwing knives
Only 24 hours left!
How dark do you want the commentary to be? Because I'm doing a first-person commentary on a match I'm running, and it is... pretty bad. The whole 'and then the RNG says they kill their friends' thing was always going to end up that way, so if you want us to aim for lighthearted, you'll probably need to specify.
hS
Would having some over-the-top presentation before the Games, à la Saints Row, Genki Super Ethical Reality Climax, do? Something like this would lighten up the atmoosphere, if dark isn't intended.
But the TV hosts will be two anime-type girls who are a bit too cheerful for a game about killing (albeit virtually) your friends.
I will try to keep the game more light-hearted that Huinesoron's portrayal, and in fact I'm editing the events towards that. For example, I'm deleting most instances of suicide and assisted suicide (thinking about leaving one instance of a player just getting fed up with the game or something similar)
(Prospective logo, at least; feel free to use or not.)
With the blue clockface symbolising the number of pseudo-teams and the blue of their portals, the gold and black circles representing a stylised Sunflower, the laurel wreath showcasing the lack of real prizes being given out, the nutmeg signifying the broadcaster, and the III displaying the season number.
hS
I didn't explain myself properly earlier, but the "teams topped up by free-to-use-characters" rule is there to fill up the roster in case we are short of actual Boarder-backed Agents.
Also, I realized that I threw Rayson in before actually publishing any of the material he's featured in, so I'm removing him from my district. Using him would've been unfair in case we run out of space but people still wanted to join...
Eleven places left, by the wasy.
For District July (Or Flame, or whichever)
If we're allowing for weird time things:
July (F) sledgehammer
Calpurnia Library (F) (Library) pistol
Colt (M) handgun bow
Gerry (F) handgun
Otherwise, if this is supposed to be approaching canonical, switch July out with:
JF (F) fire.
I'd like to make it possible to have actually happened, so I'll go with JF.
You can shove in Agent hS (Huinesoron -- Huinesoron -- Male -- Bow) in his place if you want current agents.
hS
Sergio and Nikki retired way before this happens, and yet they're joining in.
If NTV asked Dafydd to come in to give his thoughts on a hologram of him going through the Hunger Games, he probably would. If they asked him to go into the Arena himself... yeah, 'thanks, but I'm more heavily armed than you and my wife has a flamethrower trained on your back'.
hS
So it's basically an holodeck/virtual reality simulation, with the players actually playing "in person" but obviously not gettign hurt for real?
Dafydd: Sounds like fun.
Constance: How does 'people try to kill you' sound like fun?
Dafydd: No; meddling with Undis and his ideas of good television sounds like fun.
Constance: But people will still be trying to kill you.
Dafydd: And this is new?
Constance: Yes, because this time I'm not allowed in.
Dafydd: That doesn't usually stop you.
Tanfin: Will we get to see you fight, Father?
Daphne: Daddy gonna fight! Daddy gonna fight!
Dafydd: See? How can you say no to that face?
Constance: Very easily. But fine. If you get killed, I'm never letting you live it down.
I guess he's in?
hS
Does this mean there might be a pseudo-alliance between Dafydd and Wobbles as people who don't necessarily like the thought of a PPC Hunger Games but got roped in anyway? Because, well, that might work. =]
Violent sporting events are nothing new to HQ.
...Actually come to think since this is all holodeck stuff, it's probably less violent than Australian Indoor Rules Quiddich.
I don't think Dafydd would be averse to it, but that doesn't mean it'll happen. Depends entirely on the RNG.
hS
... can and will be used in the commentary if the chance arises.
Let's throw in some noncombatants in here to spice things up.
---
Harris Frost (Harris) - M - a rock - Picture
Tacitus - M - Sucker Punch - Picture
Gaspard De Grasse (Skinny Guy) - M - sharp stick - Picture
And although not technically mine, he's too good not to be used: Bulldog - M - Muggle-use wand - Picture
---
I can't wait to see how they do against the rest of the PPC. Not very well, I suspect.
It was more meant as a shortened version of the name to avoid clogging up the event report, and Skinny Guy can be confusing so I'd go with "Gaspard" if you're OK with it.
The theme I'm shooting for is pretty much: "We can't remember this guy's name, so let's just make up a mildly insulting one that sticks and is technically true".
It's the name the auto-generated commentary will use exclusively. That really should be your agent's actual name, otherwise no-one will know it's him.
(Also, Twiggy Papaya is an actual PPC agent.)
hS
Nnnnnot necessarily Gaspard. =]
It's to leave a fair chance for everyone to join in. Unless, of course, you're the main writer of that agent - in that case, I can make an exception
...swapping out Bulldog for good ol' lazy Yakov and his trusty wand.
Or Harris. I'm not sure which would be funnier. {= )
~Neshomeh
The roar of the rushing water almost made Gaspard's words inaudible. "I have the high ground!"
"Neeeeeeeerd!" yelled back Harris, who was precariously perched on a rock over the thundering river.
"Excuse me?" shouted back Gaspard. He tried to ignore the burning feeling in the gash in his right leg. That DoSAT intern had been quick with his lightsaber-- but ultimately not quick enough for a simple pointed stick. Come to think of it, that was kind of an embarrassing way to lose this game. He got down to one knee to alleviate the pressure on his injury and watched Harris from the riverbank. "What did you say?"
"NEEEEEEEEEEERD!" repeated Harris. "Are you seriously quoting the Star Wars prequels of all things?
"So what if I am?!" yelled back Gaspard. "I survived the lot of them-- all of the PPC's deadliest nutjobs! I've earned that right!"
"Not yet!" said Harris, windmilling his arms a little to keep his balance. "You haven't survived me!"
Gaspard sat down and put down his stick. "Somehow, I don't think that's going to be a problem," he said.
"You underestimate my power!" said Harris. He crouched in preparation for a jump.
"Don't try it!" said Gaspard, stumbling to his feet and grabbing his spear.
Harris bellowed incoherently and jumped. He was promptly swept away by the water and dashed against the sharp rocks further downstream.
Gaspard blinked. "Um. Hooray?"
----
((In case it wasn't obvious enough.))
Cause: Massive laughing fit.
He's still doing that.
What was so fun—
Automated Reponse #1 was taken out.
Cause: Massive laughing fit.
I mean, they go through all of the badfic the Agents mission, from the beginning to the end, and they cannot kill the glitterbags for vindication. It takes an impressive level of badassery for pulling such stunt.
James Pittman (James) — M — Sniper rifle
Laura Dukes (Laura) — F — Cybernetic enhancements
Penelope Teng (Gremlin) — F — Metahuman powers (electromagnetic manipulation)
Xericka (Xericka) — F — Teleportation
With any luck, they'll do better than in a test run I did with my own created characters (both PPC and not). They had a tendency to commit suicide, leading to a rather anti-climactic simulation.
They're two of my favourite Agents, and I actually put them in the roster of my first tryout of the generator.
Gremlin won.
Alleb (Alleb) (F) Murin steel sword
Jesse McKines (Jesse) (M) Civil War-era six-gun
Michael Green (Michael) (M) Regular 'ole .22
Mia (Mia) (M) Late PotC Sue's de-glittered cutlass
-Alleb
By which I mean, I volunteer a whole bunch of people who aren't me. Like a douche. =]
---
Wobbles The Clown ♀ (Wobbles): tightrope wire with grappling hook attachment.
Doktor Trollenfisch ♂ (The Doktor): poisonous qwills. No, that is not a spelling error. =]
Gabrielle ♀ (Gabrielle): Flare Blitz
Field Commander Lola McCandless ♀ (Lola): her own extensive genetic modifications. I can provide a full list, Sergio... just not here. That'd be telling. =]
---
FYI, I have permission from Ix to use Gabrielle as my fourth Tribute here. =]
That would mean Iximaz gets five Agents of hers in, but considering you're the one writing her I'll consider her yours and let her in.
Swap out Gabrielle for:-
---
Algernon, 7th Earl Wymbourne ♂ (Algie): books of English magic
Or, rather, I would need to save and re-upload them on some hosting site that gives a link the generator digests.
It would be a ton of work, just for making the status panels. I'm... not sure it's worth it.
And the lineup, of course, is this:
* Supernumerary - Nume - M - books and cleverness (and a syringe full of concentrated potassium chloride solution)
* Ilraen-Aroline-Fothergill (note that it'll want you to insert a space after his name for some reason) - Ilraen - M - his tail-blade and/or morphing
* Derik - Derik - M - 20-pound sledgehammer
* Gall Knutson - Gall - F - spiked mace
Feel free to use any of my FicPsych nurses to fill the ranks, if need be. Or, if you wind up with too many people, Nume and Ilraen can sit this one out, since Derik and Gall are more likely to participate willingly. I would like to see a game where one of them doesn't get killed right in the beginning, though.
~Neshomeh
After the roster is full and the modified events are sorted out, I will do exactly one game with one turn (or one dayy) per actual Real Life day or so.
So no restarts :P
(I will do a test run or two with placeholders in to check if the modified events work, though.)
He stepped off the pedestal too soon.
Dafydd Illian -- Dafydd -- Male -- Bow (I'm assuming it's pre-Clbr_n; otherwise, probably snark) -- <a href="http://ppc.wikia.com/wiki/File:Dafyddisanelf.JPG">Image
Morgan -- Morgan -- Female -- Pistol (a big, chunky one) -- Pick an image from her wiki page; I'd probably go with one of the Continuity Council ones, or the photo.
Selene Windflower -- Selene -- Female -- Lightning -- Image
Kaitlyn Jackson -- Kaitlyn -- Female -- Dagger -- Image
I'll conjure up a logo for you tomorrow, and am perfectly fine with you airing it on NTV. Anything for the ratings!
(I'll also try to finish the Second PPC HQ Hunger Games before the third comes out... ;))
hS
Zeb (Zeb) (M): lightning
The Aviator (Ave) (F) : staser
Alex Dives (Alex) (M): light saber (he's been practicing :P)
Farilan-Haothil-Esthine (Farilan) (F): tail blade
Only have two Agents though, so sharing it is. Here are their presentations:
Richard Legard (Richard) (M) Swordstick, Remote.
Marina Nicodelli (Marina) (F) Magic, Pistol.
I technically only have 2 as well, since I haven't estabilished much about Anju and I haven't even given her a partner yet, so shared district it's for me as well.
Henry Asclepe (Henry) (M) War Hammer
Aiko Kimura (Aiko) (F) Bow
However, I'll be honored of sharing a district with you.
Well, Anju wouldn't do well in combat unless she digivolved, which haven't estabilished in a PPC wtiting yet so ...
I'll be honored to be sharing one with you as well.
What should be our district name?
District Newbie? At the moment, we're the two most recent Boarders participating to this event, and our agents are all relatively recent additions to this madhouse, so...
Though I intended only one attack method for each contestant, as found weapons will override them in most cases anyways. I'll take swordstick and pistol, if you are OK with it.
Using her magic against people would just eat her soul anyway, so that's better.

Good for me Tough Cookie's no longer around, I suppose?

I don't even get the honour of being the first kill... or even Dann's first kill!
hS, permanent second place
((With apologies to all involved. Don't worry, I do know you're not a bunch of psychopaths! I just loved the PC-Nesh interactions, and this sort of happened...))
They had been a team. PoorCynic and Phobos had been skeptical of each other, almost coming to blows at the Feast, but Neshomeh had been the glue that held them together. Until that morning.
Clean water had been scarce in the Arena - that had been clear from the number of canteens in the Cornucopia - and Phobos had repeatedly turned down his drinks to allow the others to have more. When he awoke, weak from thirst, Neshomeh had nothing to give him. He died shortly before noon.
For a time, Neshomeh seemed okay - until the pair chanced across Kaitlyn. They hadn't really run across her very much - Phobos had hunted with her on fourth day, but for the most part she seemed inclined to stay out of the way. PoorCynic assumed they would follow their usual tactic of giving the other Tribute a wide berth. After all, there were still five of them left; there was no need to get reckless.
Neshomeh's face was still calm as she tied Kaitlyn down, picked up the lighter from where the other woman had dropped it, and carefully lit the fire.
PoorCynic fled. He ran until he practically tripped over BeautyID; as they hid together in the undergrowth, he warned her in hushed tones of Neshomeh's madness.
Then she found them.
BeautyID died hard, and PoorCynic didn't look back when her screaming abruptly stopped and the cannon fired. He ran out of the forest region, across the desert, into the rocky maze. It was the only place he might stand a chance.
Neshomeh followed.
Neither of them slept that night. They hunted each other under the light of the waning moon, peering into the harsh shadows thrown by the sandstone cliffs. At last, as dawn drew near, PoorCynic saw his chance. Leaping from the clifftop, he landed atop Neshomeh, bearing her down onto the ground.
But... he couldn't do it. Panting, he stared down at his onetime ally. Wordlessly, he dropped the rock, stumbled to his feet, and held out his hand.
The cannon sounded. Tough Cookie had stayed out of everyone's way, slowly growing weaker from hunger. The fishing gear she had grabbed at the Cornucopia had been a red herring; there were no fish in the Arena. She had slept through the previous day, rousing only briefly when her sponsor sent a canteen of water. Now, unable even to wake up, she died.
PoorCynic stared up at her image in the brightening sky. He never even saw Neshomeh's sais.
The cannon roared for the last time as Neshomeh straightened up. Meticulously, she wiped the blood from her blades, and waited to be collected.
hS
I also noticed the interactions between myself and Nesh in the simulation. This feels like an appropriate dramatization of how things might have gone down.
Plus, one additional note. I apparently made it all the way to the end without killing anyone. There were two occasions that I noticed where I refuse to deliver a killing blow. Games!Me apparently thought he could come out of it with his sense of honor and morality intact. Poor sad bastard.
... to go insane in the arena and kill everyone. I was a complete monster in Neshomeh vs Phobos. I even killed my own avatar.
'Course, the scary thing is that nobody can promise they won't snap and turn murderous in a hellish life-or-death situation. I mean, I don't THINK I would, I can usually keep my head in dangerous situations, but you just never know until you're there. >.>
I do apologize for leaving you to die, Ix. At the very least, I believe if you're going to kill anything, you should make it as quick as possible.
Hm, I note that TZA and Desdendelle might have been part of the team, and maybe Makari, too. Too bad she drank bad water and got dysentery.
I guess I got the sais from BeautyID?
~Neshomeh

Is anyone surprised that Cameo won? I'm not.
I AM surprised at how bloodthirsty Agent Neshomeh was, blowing people up in their sleep and all. Jeez. O.o Phobos says I probably snapped, turned violent, and eventually completely lost my mind and ended up on top of a freezing mountain.
All the random deaths from dysentery, infection, and hypothermia do seem to indicate a pretty harsh environment in this arena. Blades, explosives, and poison water and food. Not nice. Probably got high ratings, though.
~Neshomeh & Phobos
For a little while, at lest. So, if you want to run this lineup yourself for whatever reason, here's the link: http://brantsteele.net/hungergames/r.php?c=TyJ95ec4
I added pictures, too. Some of them are photos of things I thought were vaguely apt, but oh well.

District 1
The winner is Diocletian from District 11!
(I think I completely lost it and started giggling at the squirrels thing. Couldn't keep the mental images of Veruca Salt being dragged away out of my head.)
Specifically, Radio Nutmeg's commentary on the first day. (Transcript only, I'm afraid!)
The rest of the Games may or may not get written, but there's some cool stuff in there, so I kinda hope I do.
hS
And gives me an idea.
The setting is perfect to make a mega-cooperative thing in which we enter our Agents, and then have them comment about what happened in each turn.
Including the comments by the "dead" ones about their death.
Who's up for it?
I suggest using 48 Tributes, and letting each person have four if they want (ie, one person per district); if not enough people have four they want to play, cut it down to two.
If this happens, I proffer District hS:
Dafydd Illian (M)
Morgan (F)
Selene Windflower (F)
Kaitlyn Jackson (F)
In that order of preference.
I can also work up a custom logo if you want, if you can figure out how the website works.
hS
And, if I understood correctly, we just need to have the image hosted somewhere for the logo?
Anyways, for the record, District Turbo is composed of the following characters:
Sergio Turbo (M)
Nikki Cherryflower (F)
Corolla (F)
Rayson Kerman (M)
The latter is a Kerbal from Kerbal Space Program who's going to be featured in my upcoming CorollaWorks spinoff (which is taking Wings of Canon's place after Blank Spite)
Not everyone has Loads and Loads of Characters to choose from, after all.
(Though for District Ix [District 9?] I'd have the Aviator, Zeb, Alex, and Farilan, I suppose.)
If two Boarders have two Agents each, they can "share" one district.
In the end, the competition is individual. I've played the generator several times, and plenty of time I've seen people getting killed by their own partners...
When I read the results last night, I thought it begged to have a story written for it. A sports-reporting take suits me just fine. ^_^
One thing I really want to know: Who is sending all those hatchets? O.o
~Neshomeh
At the same link.
More almost certainly forthcoming. This is fun. ^_^
hS
Here, still.
I must say, it's fun tracking the teamups through the game. Acacia seems determined to have a group around her, which... may not be a clever plan, ultimately.
(Also, I've slightly rejigged Day 3 after noticing that Acacia stayed with the same group she had on Night 1. Loyalty, in the Arena?)
hS
And the Aviator brutally murders the Dream Team. I must say, Acacia's repeated teamups were brilliant from a storytelling perspective.
Two of the five remaining tributes have zero kills to their name. The others all have multiple.
hS
Let the bloodbath begin!
(Also, " bringing the Aviator up to eight kills, the highest total in the game!" - did you mean four?)
...then I'm gonna flood the arena with hatchets and you can't stop me!
(Though that brought a sudden bout of Fridge Horror: what if the Gamemakers decided to literally flood the place with sharp pointy things?)
Does it look to you like the remaining tributes all agree to work together toward the end? I'm not sure what day it is, but after Ave and Nume gang up on Drake, everyone seems to get along until Dio turns on Selene. Or maybe Selene attacks her first, since Selene was last seen thinking about winning.
I reckon Nume and/or Ave might've won if it weren't for those damn squirrels. They started the alliance, I think. And just fancy that. Who would've seen it coming?
~Neshomeh will quit stepping on hS's toes now.
The "the agents seem to have read the books!" line cracked me up, at least. :D
And the holodeck simulation explanation makes... a lot of sense, actually. plus it wouldn't do to have Dio's victory taken away by a regenerated Time Lord. I mean, can you say hax?
Selene: "You know I'm a vampire, right? That... didn't actually kill me."
Dafydd: "Hi! My wife came and got me back."
Zeb: "Seriously. I fell off a cliff. Did you see a body?"
Yeah, killing PPC agents isn't an easy task...
hS
Though considering Van Helsing knew how to take out vampires, and he was able to show Mina and Quincey and the lot how to do it. And in the end, Drac's death was... kind of underwhelming? ^^; But that's neither here nor there.
*puts up garlic around her house*
... she was killed with her own weapon. And there's no way Selene would carry a weapon that could kill her; she's not dumb.
hS
The Aviator fought just like how I thought a time lord would. That was so amazing.
He's acting like some mad hermit - going off on his own, picking flowers, fending people away from his fire.
If he doesn't survive this, I'm going to scream.
