Hunger Games Simulation: Beyond the Possibilities

(Player1) is in captivity. The galaxy is at peace.

(Player1) immediately uses (his/her1) most powerful attack and kills (Player2), (Player3), (Player4), (Player5) and (Player6). (Bloodbath only, P1 kills all of the others)

(Player1)'s introductory speech is so long it lasts during the entire Bloodbath. (Bloodbath only)

While I don't have any tributes this season due to missing nominations, I do have some events:

• (Player1) turns out to be keeping the entire cast of (Player2)'s source material in Hammerspace.
• (Player1) overhears (Player2) insulting (Player3) and kills (him/her2) over it, not realising that the "insult" was actually a joke. (Fatal, P1 kills P2)
• (Player1) demands a prize for not killing anyone so far.
• A sleep-deprived (Player1) chats with random inanimate objects in (his/her1) camp.

This event just came to mind and I just have to put it down as I find it amusing.

• (Player1) and (Player2) comes across a large beast and (Player) attempts one of its calls to scare it off. Turns out it's a mating call and it chases after (Player1) with (Player2) running after them to help.

Up to you to decide if it's chasing Player 1 in anger or if it genuinely fell in love with Player 1. Would split it in two variants specifying that but know that I can't due to character limits.

• (Player1) confuses (Player2) with a character from the former's source material.

• (Player1) confuses (Player2) with a character from (Player3)'(s) source material.

Libre and Map have set up the Clean Save for ULF, but we had to shorten GC's events because they exceeded the character limit of 150. We recommend checking your events here to make sure they fit. Also, the first serenading event should've been blacklisted because the tributes landed the date while the second one isn't because the killer rejected the serenader.

Uh, the second serenading event isn't a death event as it's basically the equivalent to merely punching someone in the face.

Event ideas:

Edited by jandn2014 on Sep 7th 2021 at 9:39:56 AM

We'll fix that at our earliest opportunity.

Too late to suggest events now, unfortunately; the save's already set up and running is currently underway. Adding new events makes up a huge load of work for setting up the save every season, so it's generally advised that you suggest them before or during save setup. Don't worry, you can re-suggest these events next season!

To be fair, clobbering someone in the face sounded fatal because it implies that their face was reduced to a bloody pulp. Maybe we can make another nonfatal variant by merely having the tribute punch the serenader.

Also Jandn, when you resuggest those events whenever you can, please blacklist the "spreading kissing rumors" event because it's romantic and must be excluded from the Clean Save.

I still stand by my suggestion since some words completely change the context of the event from nonfatal to fatal and vice-versa.

Edited by TroperNo9001 on Sep 8th 2021 at 8:31:07 PM

Well to be honest, when I typed that event I was originally going to have it outright say that the serenader was punched in the face, but decided to go with clobber as it sounded more poetic or something like that to me. To me, I thought they meant the same.

Edited by TheGamechanger on Sep 7th 2021 at 1:07:05 PM

Since we haven't heard from ULF for a day or two, Billy took over and found a good save.

EDIT: And he has sent the screens to Kaf!

That's what we were planning anyway.

Edited by TroperNo9001 on Sep 9th 2021 at 11:25:09 PM

Well how about this: have the one you put as fatal actually be explicit that the serenader was killed as some viewers wouldn't get that just from looking at the event as is. I.e. "and clobbered (him/her) to death to get (him/her) to shut up" or something.

Kaf was supposed to post the first update more than 12 hours ago but lost it in a misclick, so Psyche will take over in case he has to step down.

Wow

Well, you know how it goes by now! I am Leonard Sutton, this is the Hunger Games Simulation, and we're all sat here, gnawing our fingernails in anticipation, as we await the one hundred and seventy-ninth season!

Just as a reminder, the season after this one is, per tradition, a themed season! The theme is Fire vs Ice, so brave the elements and come up with some fitting tributes! But for now, we have a wholly different season to watch... so, shall we begin?

Quite the roster, as usual.◊ Let's see who has it in them to win.◊

THE◊ BLOODBATH◊

• Three Koopalings. One tall, one short, one somewhere in-between, all nuts, as the fact they've immediately decided to head under the Cornucupia can attest. But it seems to have worked out for them!
• The sight of a man in black with a skull for a face generally isn't a sign you're about to escape death. In this case, though, Julia is given new hope by his encouragement.
• Hulk Hogan's retirement apparently had something to do with Omni-Man! Quite a twist, eh?
• The Medic isn't usually the one racking up kills. But I guess Super Pro Medics are a different story. Five kills right out the gate... impressive.
• Felicia's bad luck is enough to drive her to Madness... Combat, that is.
• A man whose claim to fame is literal actual genocide and an alcoholic explosives expert unite, not to kill, but just to survive. If I were the Super Pro Demoman, I'd watch my back. Butch Cavendish is not known for his trustworthiness.
• What is Paddington Bear without his raincoat? Not fit for the Hunger Games, that's what. And he knows it.
• Who on Earth goes fishing with croutons? Certainly not these two.
• The Impostor finds a sick ride. BOOM! You'd think they'd be better at spotting obvious traps than this, wouldn't you?
• It's well-known that, even in his infancy, Mario was a badass. Look at him now, casually KO-ing a duo of skilled warriors! Goo goo get fucked!
• Jamie turns out to be a doper. Or at least, he would be if the HGS had any rules about substance use! Go wild! Just don't expect us to pay for your stay in rehab!
• Want to know what's more evil than Superman's Evil Counterpart? A really big guy, apparently. No, I don't buy it either.
• Joshua cuts off his nose to spite his face. Or should that be his head to spite his nominator? Whatever. Metaphors are complicated.
• I'VE COME TO MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT, CYCLOPS IS A BITCH-ASS MOTHERFUCKER-
• The Zeta Metroid throws a dagger into Raku-chan's deformed mess of a shoulder. God only knows what anatomy it might have hit, but it didn't seem to slow her down.
• Magnus prepares to run... but perhaps the fate of his fellow dragon Azizi will discourage him from acting in too much haste.
• What weapon? Last I checked, Sylvanos held anything outside the untouched forest in contempt. And besides, does a giant wolf-plant-monster need a weapon?
• Even Parody Sues and demons in human suits fear Sho Minamimoto. Perhaps wise, considering his occupation.
• Ellis has been afflicted with bad karma. Its source? Search me, maybe the Director's just fucking with him.
• Lesson learned: rotating greatswords look cool, but you can't expect them to hit anything.
• Frenda is certainly no friend-a to the other tributes.
• Louis pulls an... odd move. I'm fairly sure this would do nothing to a horde of zombies. Certainly it does nothing to Petunia Dursley.
• Baby Luigi claims to have been born three seconds ago! I think we have a new record for youngest ever tribute! Now let's just hope we don't fall afoul of child labour laws.
• The master list of dull tributes who just ran: Palutena; Apollo Justice; a mosquito; Euryale; Yui Ohtsuki. Surprisingly few boring entries this time, eh?

DAY◊ ONE◊

• Love potions. Icky things. Cat Rotation's approval of the concept suggests to me that this seemingly harmless gimmick website is hiding darker tendencies.
• I don't recall the mythological Gorgons having this power. Then again, the mythological gorgons weren't ordinary girls in maid dresses either, so what do I know?
• Metroids are deadly creatures indeed... but Paddington is a simple bear, unimpressed by grandeur.
• Not the mosquito competing as a tribute. A different one. Just wanted to avoid any confusion there.
• Ah, yes, the eyes Deimos never had. He's left bleeding from his head-cross, I guess.
• Hey, it's at least a preferable fate to Cessation of Existence... right?
• Never thought I'd see the day someone missed a zombie-infested ruin. The HGS really does things to a guy.
• Jamie is inverse Popeye, dying instantly in the presence of spinach. Our decision to hide spinach cans all around the arena in random places this season was total coincidence, we swear.
• HGS: The RPG! Coming never to a game store far away from you!
• I don't know what she's complaining about. Red and white's a banger colour combination.
• Zod likes puppets. They're the only people who kneel when he asks every time.
• HULKAMANIA RUNS WILD IN MINECRAFT, BROTHERRRRRR... and is promptly driven out. Apparently the Villagers are Andre the Giant fans.
• Tribute Betrayal! Not in the conventional sense, but psychologically, this is a crime to which mere killing can't hope to compare!
• "me and the gang learning italian over duolingo so we can babysit this weird red kid"
• Nature itself hates a spoiler fiend. Genocide? Pfft, small potatoes.
• That fancy metal hat may look good on the battlefield, but it has its disadvantages.
• Dancing mosquitoes? Dancing croutons?! Dancing lawyers?!?!? He's not even a day old, and Baby Luigi can already tell this shit is ridiculous!
• "No Demomen Allowed, eh? I'll pretend I wuz lookin' at that with me bad eye...
• "No planets were invaded by the Viltrumites in the making of this season."

FALLEN◊ TRIBUTES◊: Mugino, Kitano Hydros Techno, Cole, Pythor, Boyfriend, Nakamura SI-7, Impostor, Joshua, Azizi, Sho, Jamie, Cavendish

Think, Hulk Hogan! How were you expecting a struggle with Omni-Man over a bag would go?

My gosh that was a brutal first update.

I feel like this is at least the tenth time since I've started that I've immediately lost somebody in the Bloodbath.

Hopefully Felicia's luck will improve at some point.

i mean Euryale has vampirism skill in her home game but the power draining not so much

Edited by HypeKitty1 on Sep 10th 2021 at 6:11:07 AM

Oh istg i hope GF goes beserk after BF died

also lmao, first Hank gets his "eyeballs" gouged out, then Deimos gets his "eyeballs" bleed out.

Edited by SomeLibre on Sep 10th 2021 at 8:04:40 PM

Oof

Already killing people Super Pro Medic.

4th level 5 esper is the first tribute to die oof.

NIGHT◊ ONE◊

• Silly sponsor, that's not a Demoman weapon!
• Cyclops, Sam and Palutena are all above the law. At least, that's what they think now they've disposed of the resident attorney.
• Moth wonders what's for dinner. Magnus knows. Moth decides she would rather not eat speeding death.
• Ew, years-old croutons.
• I thought Ludwig was supposed to be the smart one? Anyhow, the three Koopalings attempt to usurp their eldest brother's position, and don't really succeed.
• It's a traditional Dearest family recipe!
• Did any of you really expect to out-flame a guy who's mastered every weapon under the sun, and several that have only ever existed under the sunless red Nevada sky? Puh-lease.
• box noise. loona. box noise.^note "Er, excuse me, Mr. Sutton, but what's the joke here even supposed to be?" "An opportunity I couldn't pass up, that's what."
• Louis hosts a morbid party in the aftermath of the literal flame war.
• Man, someone needs to tell Samus defeating these things is that easy.
• The truth is revealed - Julia is an animate cake!
• Andre turns out to be a pretty incompetent mage. Stick to feats of strength next time, mate.
• That's one hell of a strong mosquito.
• Bary Mario pledges to grow up to be the biggest, strongest tribute there is! In a roster with Andre the Giant... yeah, good luck.
• "i wish one of these tributes would just die" "k fam" "wAIT NO NOT LIKE THAT-"
• No matter how bad your situation may be, at least you're not an off-model freak of nature.
• Fire Emblem Reacts! It probably exists somewhere, but I'm not willing to look it up.
• Yui can't bear Paddington's somniloquy, and shuts him up in cruel fashion.

DAY◊ TWO◊

• The Heavens themselves are rooting against Cyclops, because being born with uncontrollable deadly eye beams wasn't enough, I suppose. Poor guy.
• Those who do not learn from the mistakes of President Snow are doomed to repeat them.
• I should really eat some Powder That Makes You Write Updates Faster.
• Come on and SLAM, and welcome to the JAM! The jam being what's left of Yui after Zod's done with her.
• Silly Julia. It cannot hit. It can only r o t a t e.
• So this moth has been around since at least 1975. Jesus, not only is it even more freakishly strong than the mosquito, it's long-lived, too.
• In-character for an auto mechanic, definitely. Also possibly in-character for a half-blind drunkard.
• Ghost would really rather not have to watch Nyan Neko Sugar Girls.
• ...I can actually imagine him saying this. Ben Whishaw is rehearsing this line in my head as we speak. Help.
• You won't find many. Failures don't last long in Nevada.
• Girlfriend narrowly avoids a classic Invincible ludicrously bloody demise.
• Kids Are Cruel. So very, very cruel.
• *tom fill*
• There is a mosquito somewhere under that shirt, and a face somewhere on Berkut and Rinea's clothes.
• Andre listens to anime openings as he reconsiders his earlier decision to radically change fighting styles.
• A somber end to the day, as Sam feels regret over helping to kill Apollo.

FALLEN◊ TRIBUTES◊: Apollo, Baby Luigi, Hulk Hogan, Felicia, Zeta Metroid, Petunia, Louis, Yui

Euryale why are you doing this?
