Hunger Games Simulation: Beyond the Possibilities

I bet Anger's calling foul for that staged kidnapping despite the bloodlust he's dragging the other Emotions in.

Eddie ponders the future monetary value of autumn leaves. The next day, for God knows what reason, Dio is hiding from Eddie (maybe he's afraid of Venom? 🤔) while Eddie doesn't notice cuz he's still on that train of thought.

This is why you don't ask your host weird questions Venom

Keep it up, Peaches! Avenge Timmy!

NIGHT◊ FOUR◊

• Eddie notices a stalking attempt.
• Turns out that bribery is Amanda's Berserk Button.
• You thought it was Dio, but it was… a random toad!
• A random tomato hates Jin's punny jokes. It hates them so much that it kills all 7 BTS members. Somehow.
• Well yeah, he's a clone. Or is he?
• That's not how it works, Peaches!
• Jon is forced to drown in a lake. How unfortunate.
• ...yeah I'm not gonna go into detail about that. *shudder*

DAY◊ FIVE◊

• Huh, Amanda's imprisoned? 'Kay.
• That's an interesting thing to keep in mind…
• Whatever the Ultimate Imposter was planning with Eddie has now gone to shit, as he's killed by Dio.
• Raiden and Stray Kids band together to go on a killing spree. Nine people working together to brutally slay 3… sheesh. RIP.
  • Also, the OG Shen outlives his clone. Figures.
• An opportunity to avenge Riley lands right into her Emotions' laps… yet for some reason they deny said opportunity even if they could've died by doing so. Harumi is kind enough to spare them, but… why. Maybe Fear was in charge of this moment?
• Sasha is killed and cooked by Peaches, then eaten by the OG Shen. Ouch.
• And this is why you don't touch AU versions of yourself, folks.

ARENA◊ EVENT:◊ Low-Budget Horror Movie

• Spoiler alert: only 8 tributes survive.
• ...I guess Eddie and Terry were a couple all along, then? Anyway, they're the first two victims of the killer.
• Oh cool, an early teaser for next season! RIP Peaches, though.
• Sub-Zero leaves Elenor to die so that he can escape.
• Dio and Punchinello turn out to be the killers, and they each take out 4 tributes… including Riley's Emotions. Perhaps Harumi letting them live wasn't such a miracle after all. (That being said, Speed Buggy and Harumi also die here, along with Ramses II.)

FALLEN◊ TRIBUTES:◊ Yup, we got a lot of those – and the typical day phase is equally as bloody as the Arena Event! Anyway, let's go through all the unfortunate souls who passed: BTS, Jon, The Ultimate Impostor, Holly, Lord Shron, Okina, Sasha, Pennington, Eddie, Terry, Peaches, Speed Buggy, Riley's Emotions, Elenor, Harumi and Ramses II

Aww Punchilleno and Rameses are friends! At least, they were before the arena event...

Well that was an emotional trip. RIP.

Dang, that's a horrible way for Elenor to go.

Oof, RIP Okina. She got worfed, considering that she's a powerful goddess in canon

Edit: Also seeing the amount of tributes left, I wonder if the season may end later today?

Edited by Billy5545 on May 23rd 2021 at 5:04:59 PM

OOF, both Jon and the real Sasha didn't make it.

Psyche said on Discord that she'll end it tomorrow morning or early afternoon AEST.

What a lame death for Peaches...

Can confirm that I will be posting one more update tonight before I go to bed, then I'll post the remaining two updates tomorrow, most likely in the earlier portion of the day as 9k1 said. Apologies if this time is inconvenient for you!

Eddie downs a robot bird, gets through an alien nest (supposedly with the aid of the alien living in him), then dies to a killer in a low-budget horror film. Welp.

NIGHT◊ FIVE◊

• Turns out that Punchinello is sponsoring Dio. Huh.
• Because simply telling people to die works so well! That being said, though, Amanda has balls pushing 8 Kpop idols off a cliff.
• Geez, these murder attempts are ending in the worst way possible tonight, aren't they? RIP Raiden. Guess neither he nor Stray Kids had that magic murderous touch they just had in the Arena Event.
• I feel ya, Jabberjaw.

DAY◊ SIX◊ (Congratulations to all the tributes still alive at this point of the season!)

• The remaining tributes catch wind of… whatever the OG Shen did with Riley's Emotions. It doesn't end well for him. But don't worry, he's still alive.
• Is Punchinello's source material that good, though?
• Whoa, uh… that's an odd way to challenge someone to a fight, Sub-Zero.

FALLEN◊ TRIBUTES:◊ Stray Kids and Raiden

I mean, Shen's a genocidal peacock, so I don't blame the others for ganging up on him.

Edited by TroperNo9001 on May 23rd 2021 at 9:34:12 PM

Raiden, I am disappoint.

I love how Jabberjaw has spent most of the season just derping around while Speed Buggy (RIP) actually made an effort to play the Games like normal.

Amanda, taking her frustration with gravity out on idols apparently.

...there's like a recurring gag of Oz's murderverse characters always acting in opposition to how the murdergames characterise them, eh?

I am back, if anyone remembers me lol. Also could someone send me the discord invite I appear to have left it.

PM'd you a Discord invite.

Penultimate update!

NIGHT◊ SIX◊

• Another nominator school renovation, and this time it's Ichigo's School of Strategy! Ichi appreciates Jabberjaw's work.
• OG SHEN, WHY. THAT'S FUCKING CURSED.
• Sub-Zero uses Dio as target practice.
• Amanda is entertained by all of this. Also, she has a ket!

DAY◊ SEVEN◊

• Don't worry, Jabberjaw, I doubt Amanda is truly disturbed by anything at this point.
• Sub-Zero, Dio and Punchinello work together to kill the OG Shen with a voodoo doll of him. Guess they could only stand his shenanigans for so long…

FALLEN◊ TRIBUTE:◊ Lord Shen

The finale will be posted about an hour from this post, so get your ghostly tributes ready for Ghost Season! It's recommended that you nominate a ghost or phantom next season to follow the theme, but if for whatever reason you really want to nominate tributes outside of the theme, then that's absolutely fine!

so after being reset into baldness by Shen, Amanda just goes full on Bond villain.

Nice to see that Ichi's school's having a Throw the Dog a Bone moment.

SHAAAAAAARK

And now, it's time for the end of this season! Which of these 5 remaining tributes will make it to the Hall of Fame? Well, now's the time to find out!

NIGHT◊ SEVEN◊

• Punchinello has fatal luck in a game of Chubby Bunny.
• Sub-Zero insists on doing mundane things the badass way.

DAY◊ EIGHT◊

• Amanda instinctively protects Sub-Zero, even though he can defend himself just fine.
• Dio pulls a prank on Jabberjaw, just because he's bored.

FALLEN◊ TRIBUTE:◊ Punchinello

NIGHT◊ EIGHT◊

• This be a night of "what the fuck why did you do that stupid thing earlier today"
• Jabberjaw tells Dio to square up and stop pranking him.
• While Sub-Zero angrily calls Amanda out for endangering herself to protect him, even going on a full-blown tirade about how he doesn't want to be pitied or protected. Amanda doesn't take this well, and silences him by killing him. Sorry you had to get the Fourth Place Curse, big bro…

THE FINALE:◊ DAY NINE◊

• Well, Amanda had it coming. Dio sure as hell wasn't going to just lie down and take that.
• Jabberjaw is just swimming around in the sea when he's eaten by another, much larger shark. Remember that revelation that he can't die unless he willingly lets go of his life? Well, he's happy to die to a fellow shark – and he's very happy to die as he's cemented a spot on the Hall of Fame!

FALLEN◊ TRIBUTES:◊ Sub-Zero, Amanda and Jabberjaw

• PLACEMENTS◊ (backup)◊
• SUMMARY◊ (backup)◊
• STATISTICS◊ (backup)◊
• SAVE

This was such a fun season to host and experience! I'm so glad I've had the opportunity to be here for this game's 5th anniversary. I hope you guys enjoyed this season, too, and here's to many more fun years of the HGS!

Anyway, here are my ghost tributes!

Nearly-Headless Nick◊ and Carrie Krueger.◊ The former is safe, and the latter is 327 years old; however, because she's a middle school student and her classmates are 12 years old, I'll be flagging her orange.
