Hunger Games Simulator

Whether to wait for more comments or post updates faster is a dilemma that every host faces. Personally I try to strike a happy balance with a 3-4 hour interval, quickening the pace when there are fewer tributes. Emphasis on try, though.

And speaking of the 2nd Anniversary Special, I'm conflicted on whether to do the Nostalgia Season (1st and/or 2nd set of tributes) or the Favorites Season (the optimistic opposite of the Scrappy Season). And I've already revealed my tributes for those several pages back. No, I won't repeat them here. :P

Also, I'd like to host said Anniversary Special like last time, but in the event that I'm unable to, I'd like someone who's been here for at least a year because they have more experience.

I'm thinking the "bringing back first tributes again" feel a bit more appropiate for an anniversary season, while "favorites" season could be done any time

Yeah, that's always a problematic dillemma. But you know, with quite a packed schedule, speed is quite what we need.

On the Anniversary special, it being a nostalgia is personally better to me. Though I'll probably use it as even more excuses to nominate Nemo and Chester Bennington.

...you know what? The 18-hour break between the first and second updates had me very concerned (even if some of my breaks are about 12 hours long due to sleep), even with Gamechanger's intentions.

Well, Rhydon Mom and Mom Racer have similar hair color, so I don't blame ya, Android Mom (RIP).

And that wasn't everyone, that was just four tributes Momma Nature bench pressed. :V

-sigh-

Every bit of the Macha/Mom pairing does not compute! At least Macha became disgusted...

EVA takes down a Flying Wyvern in a fist fight?! No wonder her son Solid Snake is so good at CQC!

Rip Johanna, she didn't have enough HP to take that attack.

Also we could always have a Favorites Season sometime later.

maybe if I rerun tributes they will have better luck

Okay, depending on how fast we can finish this season and the next (which is the Battle Royale), Season 228 might indeed be the anniversary season because squeezing in one more regular season might just make the schedule worse.

Yeah, in that case it feels better to have the anniversary season earlier than expected even if it means 3 special/themed seasons in a row

I'm interested in hosting the Battle Royale or the one after it, if my internet would allow me (I don't have much quota nowadays). Mind you guys, I'm getting better at managing my schedule, especially now that I'm on a vacation.

Let's see how things turn out for now. If I think it's safe to put down a bet, I'll take it for Battle Royale. Otherwise, I'm willing to let you do the Anniversary Special first and then a regular season for me.

Why don't you host the Battle Royale while I host the Anniversary Special, provided that no outside circumstances stop me? Remember, I'm willing to give my hosting spot to another veteran (at least one year of experience) if that happens.

And fun fact: Tracer is the first tribute to have been nominated at least 10 times if you count her joint appearance with the Scout and Sonic the Hedgehog as Team Speedsters in Season 79.

Whatever species Hamidon is, the Apple Siblings are definitely not gonna like that they have a long-lost half-sibling, and they're also gonna be mad at how Pear Mom died!

At least Macha did well. Even though she did go insane from the Games...

RIP my other tribute, at least she got a bunch of kills...

Looks like Momma Nature's rendition of "Colors of the Wind" didn't win over the judges for how overused it is for environmental songs.

Database update: Video Games now have    666    unique tributes^note 667 considering group tributes including crossovers!

Rooting for Mother Nature, because siriusly, who wants to mess with nature? Not counting the Devil/Dark Gundam, that is.

I was really hoping Raven would come through for me here, but... *sigh*
