Hunger Games Simulation: Beyond the Possibilities

They speak with an Italian accent, so I guess they are safe and sapient.

Nominations are now closed.

And here's the poll on what to do with the Death Battle format from the next one forward (S316), for formality's sake. You have 24 hours to vote.

Sorry for the double post, but here's but one event that should be upgraded to New Sim standards so it's closer to the source:

• (Player1) gives a eulogy for (Player2), only for (Player2) to stop (him/her/them/it/them1) by telling (him/her/them/it/them1) to stop telling everyone that (he/she/they/it/they2)'s dead. (D652, N658)
  • (Player1) (gives/gives/gives/gives/give1) a eulogy for (Player2), only for (Player2) to stop [typeB1] by telling [typeB1] off-frame to stop telling everyone that [typeA2]'(s/s/re/s/re2) dead. "Sometimes, (I/I/I/I/we1) can still hear [typeC2] (voice/voice/voice/voice/voices2)," (Player1) (continues/continues/continues/continues/continue1).

Also, we have 70 tributes this season!

The poll has been closed. Starting in next season's Death Battle, its format will be the same as the modified Battle Royale: all MMs are locked in, but players with 1 or none can still nominate regular tributes until they have a team of 2!

Edited by TroperNo9001 on Feb 20th 2024 at 3:18:45 AM

EDIT: The team is preparing and editting some events first, and meanwhile we don't have any clear indicators on who's going to run and who's going to host. We'll be back

Edited by JustNormalMusicLover on Feb 21st 2024 at 7:10:01 PM

And the saves are ready for Justkong to run.

Yay.

And Justkong's found a good save! Any host?

Do we still not have a host yet? I could help if no one else is doing it yet, though admittedly I'm a bit intimidated since the one season I've done before barely had half as many tributes as this one does.

Justkong was just about to send you the screens, but unfortunately, he might have run into a critically broken event that he overlooked the other day. Sorry for the inconvenience.

EDIT: He'll run a backup save just in case.

Edited by TroperNo9001 on Feb 23rd 2024 at 8:01:05 PM

Sorry for the double post, but Justkong has sent the new Clean Save to Janky!

Are you ready, kids?

Welcome everybody to this, the 315th season of Beyond the Possibilities! We've got just one season left before the first of the new experimental Death Battle seasons, but before that, we need one more Mass Murderer. Hence, today's bloodshed.

THE REAPING

We've got 70 tributes taking part, all from a variety of ways of life. In typical Hunger Games fashion, only one of these tributes will be leaving this season alive, but with the Death Battle next season, there's an additional step, in that the tribute who kills the most of their rivals will get an additional crack at the games next season.

Everybody ready? The horns are about to sound, and we're about to begin the bloodshed!

I mean Games.

THE BLOODBATH

Battle Music: ROZEN HORIZON - Roselia

• Ho-ho, that didn't take long! Smaug and Pointman Prime pick a fight with President Eidenhower and Marty, and... they're victorious!
• The heck is this thing called? "Waxed Weathered Cut Copper Stairs riding a..." Forget that! Shove it in the backpack!
• Can 300 cats (plus a couple others) build a robot with the power to win the BattleBots tournament? I mean, they can't possibly make something worse than Wrecks...
• Hold up, what's Kafka doing on this podium? I thought we killed you last time I hosted! Coincidentally also at the hands of a mass murderer... Whatever! Get the actual tribute in here!
• Now you're telling us that Skarlet had to pay for her own taxi to get here? I'm gonna have to talk to whoever it was who was supposed to gather all the tributes...
• Sango confirmed genocide runner. Eyes on her, everyone.
• Black Hat falls for Whirlipede's "death insurance" scam. I feel like "death insurance" should have been a "dead" giveaway, but regardless, Black Hat is now broke.
• What? C'mon, you can't just kill another tribute, that's no fun! Luckily, fate agrees with me and decides to give Lute one more chance.
• I'm not convinced that regular glasses are sufficient protection from getting sand to the face, especially when said sand is covered in slime rather than being coarse and rough, but Anthony seems to be unfazed by the attack. Milou seems distressed by this turn of events though, and inhales some hopium so he can feel better.
• Oh hey, Roger found a super-powerful weapon he's probably never gonna use! Epic!
• Jake was generous enough to provide Flounder with some weapons to help him out, but in a turn of events that will shock and amaze, Letooce was unwilling to do the same for an entire army of Pokemon.
• Shovel Knight II is looking a lot weirder than I expected.
• Oh no, there goes grandma! Now Arnaud's gonna have to spend the season taking her to the North Pole to cover his crimes before Cousin Mel tries to take him to court and...
• President Grant loses Nico's Nico-Nico-Nii cup shuffling game. Though, I wouldn't be surprised if those cups have nothing under them. No one ever seems to win these.
• I play your song for you and you get yourselves killed immediately? Boo...
• Silly Johnny, it's not the RNG that makes you OOC. Deep in your soul, you knew it was you acting OOC all along.
• Meet the tributes we'll be killing off this season. Do your best to ignore that kid hanging out with them.
• Because there's no justice in this world, Banjo and Kazooie are one of the five least popular tributes this season. Kasumin is forced to be friends with them, as well as their fellow bottom-five-ers.
• Akira's Stand has been awakened. Maybe that's where his psychic powers came from.
• Hey wait! We don't have time to give you a dedicated half-hour block! Especially not if all you're doing is showing off a grill!
• Let it be known that around here, we don't appreciate tributes trying to run away from their fates. Even if said tribute happens to be the entire universe.
• Hey, shut up, ref! It's way funnier if the fights are as crazy and unfair as possible!
• Mr. White says that he's willing to spare Shifu's family, but considering that Shifu wouldn't even be his first kill, I wouldn't believe him.
• The only lyric in Hokuto's new theme song is... her name. Evidently, the lyricist was paid by the word.
• April May gives late-eighties Sega fans some horrible deja vu as she tries to wear armor that's too heavy for her to move in, leaving her as dog food.
• As for the rest, King Hamlet Sr's Ghost, Thresher, Green Slime, Minthara and Rivet don't try anything and simply flee the Cornucopia.

DAY ONE

• Bale has made his way into the Arena, and makes Flounder cry by shooting him with a slingshot. Not cool, buddy. Look, even your own tribute is mad at you!
• Don't say things like that, Pinky. Around these parts, it can actually happen.
• "It's beginning, Hokuto! I have the low ground!" "You overestimate my weakness!" "Please try it!"
• Black Hat's personality traits are completely incompatible anymore, so they split off into different entities. Hopefully he can get rid of whatever convinced him that "death insurance" was worth going bankrupt over.
• Don't you just hate it when a little candle man won't leave you alone?
• Oh shoot! Sisko's dea... Oh wait. Never mind. It was just a stunt double. I smell a lawsuit...
• Here, we see confirmation that Milou doesn't see Hamlet Sr. as one of his friends. At least he's nice enough to want Sango to save him.
• Minthara pulls out the world's largest bread, and puts Kasumin between the slices.
• One would expect a spoon to actually be a deadly weapon against a slime, but I guess that's why it thought using it on someone else would work.
• Cracker Jack and Brain's summer camp plans (in the latter half of February) go awry when they get on the wrong boat and end up in prison instead.
• What the... Hey! Who's interrupting my hot jams? Someone turn that off!
• Haruka Sakurai has a nasty encounter with a giant leech, and it ends up sucking his bodily fluids completely dry.
• Admittedly, I don't want to find out whatever's under Whirlipede's shell.
• Aww, what do you have against Flounder, Lute? He's just a silly little fish man, what's he ever done to you?
• Ah yes, because a person's choice of attire is a surefire sign that there are invisible satellites in the sky above. Hence why the person looking for them isn't even up there.
• Zaeed stares at his watch (which for some reason has a really pixellated black-and-white picture of some unknown live-action woman inside) for way too long before answering Rivet's question.
• The realistic result of a dog trying to eat a carrot.
• Sabo's tribute fishing goes terribly wrong.
• Don't cyberbully, kids.
• Akira's new Stand powers let him slap Deathwing hard enough to break his face off. Not hard enough to actually kill him though, because that would make sense.
• Redd White would be the type of person conceited enough to use himself as a model for his baking projects. The end result is very pink. It's also inedible, due to the excess of jewels.
• Haruka Kiritani is brainwashed into becoming Sango Amon's pawn following the inhumane experiments he performs on her.
• Who wouldn't be jealous of someone who gets to hang around an entire army of adorable kitties?
• What happens when a bunch of electric squirrels write a terrible fanfic? You get something better than most of what you find on the web. At least the... Lingering Potion of Night Vision... that thing likes it.
• Hey, thanks for the save, Justkong. Pity about the fact that Sauron's probably burning you alive as we speak, but... uhh... Nico Nico nii...?
• Jude wins an epic golf cart race. Banjo was unfortunately out of practice.
• What happens when an alien experiment tries to recreate tributes in the Mii editor? Well, those mace tentacles are not exactly optimal for operating a cursor, so the results are... interesting, to say the least.
• Arnaud shows some major disrespect to Smaug. Admittedly, lasting longer than him is quite the show of power.
• Big Green isn't too impressed with the tall boots that Doc invented, and shows him up with even taller boots. Doc, not to be outdone, modifies his own boots to be taller. This cycle continues until they reach the sky. Don't hit the Forcefield up there, you two...
• Work might not be alcohol, but whatever's in that fishbowl may be.
• Come on and SLAM
  • And welcome to the JAM
• Unlike Arnaud, Idefix is terribly distraught at the demise of Smaug.
• Shifu had better use that power later, because memes are funni.
• Who let you two write an event? I should send the Peacekeepers after you for pulling a hack like that!

FALLEN TRIBUTES Eisenhower, Marty, Roselia, The universe with a pride flag, April May, Anthony Fantano, Milgram!Haruka, Jankman, and Smaug

Nominators Eliminated: None!

Remaining Tributes 61

One down, however many to go. The tributes don't seem to have gone too crazy just yet, but you never know how quickly that can change. Stay tuned for the next exciting update!

"I mean, they can't possibly make something worse than Wrecks..."

Radioactive also exists

And oof, one of my tribs is out unceremoniously. And with that, there's no proper interaction between the two Harukas in the end. At least another nominator who's also a Milgram fan may eventually renominate that Haruka in a future season, even if it takes a bit of a long time

Also dang, I guess the other surviving Haruka will now become Sango's summon for his fight against Ichiban and Kiryu. And finally, oof at how Roselia got eliminated early unceremoniously. I'm still gonna nominate other tribs in place of Yukina and Lisa individually few seasons later though

ELAINA WHY DID YOU BUILD ANOTHER FUCKING 4WD VERTICAL SPINNER COME ON

I have!

Edited by PuzzarianIdeal on Feb 23rd 2024 at 7:38:27 AM

Finally the season is out, I think I could take a rest....

Wait, I heard you're Smaug's close friend and... Wait a minute, pls chill out, I'm just running season and I don't have any intention to kill him, it was RNG's fault who manipulated Nico to kill him, pls spare my life!

*dies*

And this is the second time I got killed as a runner by a tribute's relative (the first time was S252), how ridiculous lol

Edited by Justkong033 on Feb 23rd 2024 at 9:11:14 PM

Bite Force/End Game moment

Also do you watch BB or other robot combat shows yourself Puzz?

TFW Smaug makes a promising start in the Bloodbath, only to die unceremoniously to a cute anime girl the next day.

Anyway, who knew even a despicable douchebag like Adam drew the line at bullying fish?

Edited by IchigoMontoya on Feb 23rd 2024 at 8:33:11 AM

My theorem was correct. Beware the cute-looking ones!

by not dying immediately chujin and kanako are already getting on better than they canonically did

Battle Music: Enemy Approaching (Yellow) - Undertale Yellow

NIGHT ONE

• HA!◊
• ...You never knew Pinky's tongue was a gun?
• [This season has been brought to you by LifeStraw]
• From here on, all fallen tributes have their souls eaten by Wikipedia. It's a tragic metaphor for life, really. Wikipedia will eventually be the only one that remembers you.
• Adam finally releases his new film, and it proves to be a smash hit. I don't think Sango liked it, though.
• How can you even tell if Whirlipede is smiling or not?
• ...I will admit, I wouldn't be too thrilled to receive a visit from the Social Bunny.
• Chili night goes horribly wrong.
• IT'S HIP TO BEE SQUARE but not hip to be a wasp apparently
• Kasumin's academic achievements are so impressive that an entire army of cats are willing to vouch for her.
• Somehow, a big ol' dragon looks like Bigfoot to this guy.
• I mean, I suppose both versions of Flounder would be perpetually covered in salt, but there has to be more sanitary ways to get it onto your food.
• "Alright - Arnaud - That's it, you've gotta leave. We'll be fine, YOU just have to GO."
• Wait, how do you punch someone in the face if you're sneaking up on them? That's the power of the Fist spell, I guess...
• Koala and Sisko decide to play detective and look into that chili-drowning incident earlier (It was very sudden and unusual, after all). Evidence suggests Oggy, Sapphire, Idefix, Akira, and Milou are all among the people who could have done it, but nothing can be proven.
• Rivet turns into an elf, though if the pointy ears are supposed to the giveaway, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
• Kanako's birthday is canceled.
• Someone's going for Mass Murderer here! Brain goes on a rampage after getting a splinter in one of his paws, killing Marcellus, Bernardo, Halsin, and every Pokemon (including Emolga) in the process! Jude is able to pull it out, putting an end to it.
• Three tributes fail to rob a train, though if it's in motion, I don't know how the authorities are supposed to keep up with them.
• Black Hat is absolutely disgusted by the fact that... people are avoiding the Slime because it's disgusting? You should be worrying about the other slime, given that it clearly wants Roger dead.
• Don't know what Hokuto could have said that would make Coin break down, but, good for her, I guess?
• Doc rolls for an attack on the... Invisibility Leaping Fire Resistance... whatever, but fails to do anything major. Maybe since it's from Minecraft ^* brown bricks, we should attach it to some square balloons and send it floating away.
• Why can't most geckos be like this one? Most geckos just let themselves into my house like they own the place and then hide when I rightfully try to kick them out.
• You know. Flounder's ear. That's where the salty peanuts go.
• The crocodile meets a fellow reptile and makes a new friend it can play cricket with.
• Well, when a mommy and a daddy love each other very much, a completely unrelated stork brings them babies. Everyone knows that.
• The nerve. Mr. White makes an action figure of someone besides himself and its special action is vomiting. I'm sure it's no coincidence that there happen to be tributes this season that would be perfect for such a feature.
• A nice electric shock. Just in case you wanted to know.
• Must be one powerful steam vent. It turned Sango Amon to charcoal. Living charcoal, but charcoal nonetheless.

DAY TWO

• Game night is ruined as it turns out someone at the factory sealed a Ouija board in a Monopoly box. Though, maybe the tributes stuck with it will get a kick out of it.
• Jude paints a tree in memory of the numerous victim's of Brain's rampage last night. Everyone else on the other hand laughs about it. Laugh while you can, y'all are next...
• No, don't add more to that thing! It's long enough as it is!
• Here's hoping the library feeds don't eat too much of Doc's time machine funds.
• You wouldn't believe the profits we get from these LifeStraw plugs. That's half our season budget right there.
• You know, it would be a real problem if someone had to use Photoshop for something else in this particular update...
• When you're nothing but head, it's only natural that taking a bow would lead to your head hitting the ground.
• Flounder can never know hate. Even as a merman, that doesn't change.
• I don't know if Puppy Dog Eyes really work when it's someone like Cracker Jack doing it, but at least the Green Slime seems swayed.
• Kasumin wins Elaina's evil laugh contest, while Thresher does so poorly he gets kicked out. On what basis did either of these things happen? I get the feeling she's not an impartial judge...
• Did it just shoot Flounder into that barrel? I seem to recall someone leaving a turkey costume in there...
• We've got another one! Kanako absorbs the SOULs of the fallen tributes, and anyone who knows her series knows what that means... PHOTOSHOP!
• WHAT are you DOING in my SWAMP
• Side effects of time travel include: rash... Yeah, that's all.
• Well, yeah. What else do you think all those sodas are for?
• Heh, it's a turkeyfish! Which would theoretically make him poisonous, and therefore more effective in this particular game...
• What... Who keeps doing that? Is it the dogs? There's too many dogs this season!
• Sisko laughs like a maniac and makes some frankly awful threats to his rivals.
• Brain does something nice for once, and the zombie he helped isn't even grateful for it. The bite looks to be non-lethal, though, so he's still in it to win it.
• Not sure which is weirder. The fact that someone that skinny could lift a boulder, or the fact that a ghost got crushed by it.
• Redd White's party, which if I had to guess, is actually a ploy to get some dirt on the attendees.
• I guess you can say that the page got... entrapped?

FALLEN TRIBUTES: Sango, DeSoto, Every Pokemon except Emolga, The Emolgas, Marcellus and Bernardo, Halsin, Arnaud, Grant, Banjo and Kazooie, 300 Skitties, Hokuto, Hamlet Sr's Ghost, the Wikipedia article for Entrapment

Nominators Eliminated: Letooce, MatthewLMayfield, Cutegirl920fire, StarManatee

Remaining Tributes: 48

THERE is the shake-up I like to see! We actually have a race for that coveted Mass Murderer spot! Will it be one of the current contenders, or could someone completely different pull off a crazy comeback? Tune in tomorrow to find out!

Edited by JankyKong on Feb 24th 2024 at 2:16:08 PM

Both of my extremely strange tributes have been killed

Okay wow, that's a lot of kills.

Oof, RIP Sango... guess she was right about that "bad time"

Edited by Zanreo on Feb 24th 2024 at 11:39:17 AM

Yeah, let's just say I'm not going to get that Mass Murderer, but it might be all the better for what I planned to do for the next season
