History Trivia / HungerGamesSimulation

** Reboot Season 42 was originally ran by Dave, but Tropers/Scipion3, the host, secretly reran it without his permission. The Hall of Famers would've been Tropers/{{unfortunatezorua}} (Champion), [[WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994 Sarabi]] (2nd Place), [[Franchise/MortalKombat Kabal]] (3rd Place), and [[VideoGame/SleepingDogs Big Smile Lee]] and [[Literature/TheHungerGames Alma Coin]] (tied for most kills).

** In OG Season 74, Tropers/PresidentStalkeyes, the host, kept confusing [[LightNovel/NoGameNoLife Sora]] for Sora from ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' when she made jokes about him. Even if that mistake was pointed out, she decided to pretend that the tributes [[MistakenIdentity mistook No Game No Life!Sora for Kingdom Hearts!Sora as well.]]

* ActorAllusion:
** In the post-season gag save of OG Season 213, a re-enactment of ''WesternAnimation/FindingNemo'' took place, with [[Franchise/Ben10 Azmuth]] as Dory and [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack Quess Paraya]] as Nemo. The one who played Marlin? None other than ''Nemo himself''. [[note]]There's also a dose of irony, since Nemo's own "insulting" nickname was a [[TakeThat jab]] at Char Aznable's Neo Zeon (whom he was nominated with in OG Season 211), which Quess is part of; and an especially ironic one for Azmuth [[spoiler:because in the canon season, he fell victim to Nemo's [[CuteAndPsycho rampage]].]][[/note]]
-->'''[[Tropers/DaveTheAssassin dave_the_assassin]]''': "...I guess now he knows what Marlin felt when Dr. Sherman unwittingly kidnapped him."
** In a gag save for OG Season 214, [[Music/LinkinPark Rob Bourdon sang "One More Light"]] [[spoiler:at [[WesternAnimation/VillainousCartoonNetwork Black Hat]]'s funeral]].
** In Reboot Season 15, it turns out that [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack Amuro Ray's powers and abilities aren't just for show]], which was his {{memetic|Mutation}} quote regarding his RX-93 ν (Nu) Gundam [[spoiler:as he pushes the back half of the asteroid Axis away from Earth in a HeroicSacrifice.]]

* RoleEndingMisdemeanor: Following a massive amount of drama that spread to TV Tropes, Mhazard was banned from not just HGS, but also banned from the site. As a result, a reserve (Mr. Godzilla) was set to take his place, and Reboot Season 100 was delayed as a result.

* OldShame: Some tropers have something they're not proud of during their tenure in HGS, however long and short it is. It usually involves a Season they ran or hosted.
** Tropers/TroperNo9001 was responsible for OG Season 87, which was '''''very''''' controversial after its Day 1 Arena Event, which saw the phantom of [[VideoGame/{{Civilization}} Mahatma Gandhi]] creating a massacre, leaving almost ''all'' tributes dead (that's a record breaking '''''[[CharactersDroppingLikeFlies 39 tributes]]'''''). It didn't help that the season was a Murderers' Death Battle, which took some time to be set up due to how the participants were determined[[note]]the most murderous from each season leading up to it[[/note]]. Early Arena Events with high death tolls have been banned ever since.
** [[Tropers/Mk97 Mk_97]] would rather have it if you don't mention that he accidentally spoiled the results of OG Season 137 at the very beginning of the season, thank you very much.
** A non-hosting one, but Tropers/{{Hydraloonie}} had one during the nomination period before OG Season 214 where he named his tributes ([[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Frank Grimes]] and [[Franchise/{{Transformers}} Erector]]) "Podium Finisher" and "Mass Murderer" as a dumb joke. He was rightfully called out for that and his tributes were disqualified as a result.
** Tropers/{{VengefulBale}} would rather not talk about Reboot Season 3, where he sent ''two saves'' in which he missed problematic events, causing the season to be delayed further. Luckily he eventually found a good save and sent it.
%%** [[Tropers/DaveTheAssassin dave_the_assassin]] isn't fond of Season 174 (which was his debut Season as runner), as the Season had Music/JustinBieber [[BestialityIsDepraved going on a horizontal tango with]] [[WesternAnimation/FindingNemo Marlin and Nemo]]; something he's upset with since he absolutely '''''loathes''''' the former.
%%*** Dave's also upset about Season 211, although he didn't run that one (Tropers/StarAndroidJaguar did). This is because the Season saw Nemo cementing a status as a DirtyKid, by [[MisterSeahorse somehow]] [[HomosexualReproduction having a child]] with [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings Bilbo]] [[Literature/TheHobbit Baggins]] AND sleeping with [[Literature/TheHungerGames President Coriolanus Snow]] himself. Dave, [[{{Understatement}} to put it lightly]], did ''not'' take Nemo's fiascos well at all, especially the Snow incident (he was, at first, fine with Bilbo, until Troper No. 9001 showed her own disapproval). In fact, he wished that he had nominated [[Anime/MobileFighterGGundam Ulube Ishikawa]] instead, since he has [[CharClone a connection]] with his other tribute that Season, [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack Char Aznable]], as well as being from [[Franchise/{{Gundam}} the very same franchise]].

** When every failed save was nominated for Reboot Season 223, they were depicted as an enormous GlitchEntity in ASAS [[GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere with no initial explanation for where it came from]]. However, the season happened to have a TroubledProduction with a ''lot'' of failed saves before the final one was used, so an in-universe explanation fell right into the playerbase's laps: It was created by an error, wrought by the repeated failed saves, on a computer belonging to one of the in-universe gamemakers.

** In OG Season 74, Tropers/PresidentStalkeyes, the host, kept confusing [[LightNovel/NoGameNoLife Sora]] for the ''[[NamesTheSame other]]'' [[Franchise/KingdomHearts Sora]] when he made jokes about him. Even if that mistake was pointed out, she decided to pretend that the tributes [[MistakenIdentity mistook No Game No Life!Sora for Kingdom Hearts!Sora as well.]]

* SerendipityWritesThePlot: Reboot Season 7 had an interesting production. After Tropers/{{VengefulBale}} had trouble running it, a co-runner was appointed. After having to ditch a save due to an undesirable event, they quickly found a better one. The season turned out to be a WhamEpisode because it had [[WesternAnimation/Ben10Omniverse Malware]] ''winning'', further proving that the ''Ben 10'' Curse[[note]]the tendency for ''Ben 10'' tributes to die early or unceremoniously[[/note]] was exorcised from the OG, but what makes it ''more'' of one is that the Clean Save[[note]]where majority of the romantic events were removed to ease running in case of a big watchlist[[/note]] was used ''by accident.'' For context, there were only three tributes who had to be watchlisted[[note]][[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Zuko]], [[Manga/MyHeroAcademia Shoto Todoroki]], and [[VideoGame/{{Terranigma}} Ark]][[/note]], i. e. ensured that they don't get into {{Squick}}y events or [[NoYay disturbing pairings]], so the regular save was originally used.

** Reboot Season 64 ended up having both the host and the runner replaced. The former was originally Tropers/InactiveTroper19, but after a save sent by him turned out to be invalid, Billy took his place as an emergency. The host was supposed to be Tropers/TabbyGirl4, but Billy also replaced her after a period of inactivity caused by internet restrictions.

* AccidentallyCorrectWriting: When Tropers/{{Mhazard}} introduced the [[Characters/HungerGamesSimulationLoreCharacters Snowclone Soldiers]] back in OG Season 247, he intended to create mass-produced {{NPC}}s [[WeCanRebuildHim built with the DNA of fallen tributes]], something that would be out of place by HGS standards. But as it turns out, the [[Literature/TheHungerGames original Hunger Games novel]] ''does'' have creatures built with the DNA of fallen tributes serving as {{Mooks}}, in the form of Wolf Mutts.

* RoleEndingMisdemeanor: Following a massive amount of drama that spread to TV Tropes, Mhazard was banned from not just HGS, but also banned from the site. As a result, a reserve is set to take his place, and Season 100 has been delayed as a result.

The Hall of Famers would've been Tropers/{{unfortunatezorua}} (Champion), [[Disney/TheLionKing Sarabi]] (2nd Place), [[Franchise/MortalKombat Kabal]] (3rd Place), and [[VideoGame/SleepingDogs Big Smile Lee]] and [[Literature/TheHungerGames Alma Coin]] (tied for most kills).

Even if that mistake was pointed out, he decided to pretend that the tributes [[MistakenIdentity mistook No Game No Life!Sora for Kingdom Hearts!Sora as well.]]

** Reboot Season 59 also went through trouble in its production. After a new runner was appointed over another who was also new, but intended to run, as both of them were appointed by Tropers/Billy5545, the runner went on Discord and leaked the save after running it by not knowing about the system[[note]]Though later examination revealed that the save wouldn't be safe anyway.[[/note]]. After Dave got the second save and planned to screen it, he didn't do it, revealing he had RL issues when Billy decided to PM him few days later about the delay. After this, Billy found an inappropriate event when screening, forcing Billy to take over running. After struggling over the regular save for hours and with many saves (In fact, he sent two which both had inappropriate events to Tropers/{{Zanreo}}), he gave up with it and switched to clean save. All in all, the hiatus took almost a week since the end of Season 58, and two days late from the 1st Reboot Anniversary date.

*** Similarly, OG Season 218 had to be restarted because Tropers/StarAndroidJaguar, the runner, accidentally left out Infinity Ryujin's tributes ([[VideoGame/LenEn Kujiru Kesa and Kaisen Azuma]]). [[https://s15.postimg.cc/ruoud2s0b/Trope_Games_S218_non-canon.png Here is how things would've turned out]] if the season pushed through with the original save.

** The 1st Reboot Anniversary was celebrated in Season 59. However, it was more unofficial as most tributes weren't the nominators' first tributes. Also, it infamously suffered from a long delay because it was originally and ironically ran by a new player that time.
