Hello and welcome to the Hunger Games Audience Participation thread. Sorry about all that up there, but it was either that or posting everything in spoilers, which'd be a pain.

We haven't seen anything like this before, so do excuse us if there are any hiccups or rules changes along the way. Speaking of which:

General Rules
Spoiler:
1. You may only talk about this game in this thread and in an appropriately named spoiler in the Discussion Thread. If you are not playing this game, you may not post in this thread.
2. You may not play to lose. anyone breaking this will be dealt with severely!
3. Do not lurk. If you no longer want to or can't play, tell the mod as soon as possible.
4. Votes, unvotes and questions must be posted in bold, on a newline, like this:

Vote: UniqueScreenname

Unvote: UniqueScreenname

Vote: TheMaskedGecko


You may also ask questions to the mod in PM.
5. You may not post game content in this thread after you are dead. You are dead if you die in the pit or if you are NK'd. Otherwise, you die when the mod says so.
6. You may not post game content at night. It is night when hammer is cast or when the aforementioned deadline is reached. This applies whether a mod is online to declare it or not. You may post game content during the pit stage.
7. The mod's decisions are final.
8. All PMs must be sent both to me and the co-mod, TheMaskedGecko.
9. There are anti-mass claim mechanisms in place.


Game Setup
Spoiler:
There are three gameday stages: day, pit, and night. During the day stage, tributes will vote players be participants in the pit stage. Each tribute gets two votes, differentiated by referring to them as Vote A and Vote B.

Vote A: UniqueScreenname
Vote B: TheMaskedGecko


If at any point a tribute wants to change votes, they will refer to the letter of the vote they are changing.

Unvote A
Vote A: TheMaskedGecko


In the pit stage, a lynch victim will be decided based on a secret number based on an initial score, which is known, and whatever added points given by your weapon and other gifts from the audience. Each player is randomly given a weapon to start with. Each tribute has two weapons that give them higher points than the others. Weapons also may be given out from the audience. Items from the audience are all worth the same. Tributes may still post game content during the pit phase.

The pitted tribute with the lower score will be lynched. Thus begins the night phase. All night actions will be sent in and there is to be no game content in thread. Dead players may read the audience participation thread, but are still dead and cannot participate.

Once per game, tributes are allowed to give one of their items to another tribute. They will need to send a PM to the mods expressing which item or weapon they want to give away and to whom. NK'd tributes cannot give anything away. Lynched tributes have until the end of the night after their death to give away one of their items.


Participation Rules
Spoiler:
The Hunger Games is a pit mafia game, meaning that at the end of the day two players will duel to the death. Which one actually dies is dependant on a score. That score will be based on their character, their weapons and their equipment. The former will be set at the start of the game, while the latter two are set by you, the public. At the start of each in-game day, a weapon and a piece of equipment will be listed in this thread. Each of these will help a characters score. Voting will be conducted in a similar method to lynchings, that is

bold, on a new line (if nessecary)

Other discussion of the game is encouraged here too. The hammer for giving equipment is 5 votes (So if five people all vote to give the same player the same item, voting will become locked for that item and no further unvotes can be made).

Player get one vote per item. They can be, but do not have to be, for the same player.

Anyone in the audience can elect to send a message to any player. To do this they must post the message in quotes, along with the name of the recipient. Other audience members must then vote to send the message by posting

Send [x]'s message to [y]

...or words to that effect. Any message receiving 5 votes will be passed on anonymously by the mods. They may still be censored.

Equipment
Spoiler:
Weapons
(nb. Each player has two weapons that they are more profficient with. If they get their best weapon they will get 3 extra on their score, 2 if it's their second best, one for any other. Flavour knowledge may be helpful here.)
Axe
Bow/arrow
Knife
Mace
Slingshot
Trident

Items:
(nb. each item will add 1 to anyones score)
Wire
Blanket
Food
Meds
Rope
Camo

LOVE AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION. SO MUCH FUN.
@ Deva: WTF had a lot more bastardry (thus the name). We got to mess with people's win conditions and people's heads with random statements about stuff. And we revived a person. Since we were gods.
It was a lot of fun.

Thank you TMG for setting this up and running it. I like the first post very much. Other than that, welcome to Capitol TV. The Games should be starting in a few days, so feel free to deliberate over which faction you think will win. (I'm really just uselessly exercising my mod voice since now I get to use it as much as I want mwahaha.)

I'm mostly just confirming for audience participation.

You do realise that, while an awesome idea, this thread mostly screws you out of being able to replace anyone in the game? Maybe you should warn potential replacements off reading it as well?

I will sponsor enthusiastic and energetic players, or particularly stylish players, but how can we let the players know that their fight to the death has been entertaining enough or not? Can we send a short message along with our gift? Obviously scrutinized by the mods to avoid spoilers. More like, "Hang in there, I'm rooting for you." or "Win a pit fight and there's more where this came from."

Or completely different rules idea! Each sponsor get's 10 points for the whole match, and each day there is a list of items with a point cost. If a sponsor is willing to spend his point then they can send the item to the player of their choice with a short message. That way each item is from an individual sponsor. The current rules are good too though, keeps things more balanced probably.
If your afraid of the terrorists winning then the terrorists win.

I will be supporting those with the best roleplay.

Another variation that complicates things (but could also would make things more fun for us):
Each pit fight all audience members who participate get 10 points to distribute how they wish. If they do not use all of the points, they get rolled over to the next fight. They must place at least 1 point on each fight.

This would be neat as you have a choice of whether to save up your points or not and gives longtime audience members an advantage. But save up too much and the game might end when you have all these points and nothing to spend them on.

Since no one really cares, each member could keep track of how many points they have themselves.

Prepared a scoring system. Opted not to tune it on another game, though. Predicts word count being the prevailing factor. Will treat it as a guideline. May abandon it for favorites. Expects to select those by Day One's end.

Likes the fan mail idea, also.

I would certainly support the more entertaining tributes however possible, and sending notes would be neat (as well as fit the flavor). (Yes,I have been lurking for the past... what, year and a half? Maybe more. But c'mon, audience participation. This'll be awesome.)

I see no reason not to allow this.

As far as the point allocation thing goes, TMG and I will discuss it. One of the things I really wanted to do with this section though was make sure that people worked together to help a tribute. The books made it seem like a struggle to help, taking entire Districts to provide one gift.

I assumed that we were hoity toity capitol city people and therefore could afford to personally sponsor players. It seems dumb to allow the districts to send gifts because they'd always sponsor their own dudes obviously. However, I've only seen the movie.

That absolutely only reason that I don't like the 5 votes to send a gift is that it would make it hard to agree on the message to include. I guess we could write 5 different short sentences...?

EDIT: (Gee Willikers...) Boo about all equipment being equal, that's boring. I want to send someone crappy soup instead of medicine. Also are the mechanics for players to loot each other's weapons? Pit winner takes the loser's stuff?

Yeah, adding some variation to the equipment would be fun. Just little things would do, like 'makes it easier to get a weapon' (which counts as a single automatic vote in the weapon voting here, e.g. food), 'makes it more likely you'll be in the pit today' (a single extra vote on you in-game for one game-day, e.g. food), 'gives you more power for one day' (a 2 point boost, but for one day only, e.g. painkillers). Or variants / inversions of those, or other similar ideas.

EDIT: Further idea inspired by BoomFrog - an item that allows you to steal from another player.

I feel like I'm going to end up supporting the people I loved from the books no matter what their alignment is, for the weapons at least.
I guess I like Adacore's idea, but that would be cool if we could send more than two things in, since there is a limit of how many days are there and all that, and I kind of like being a bit consistent and fair. Like there are two things which have to be sent and have a specific value and a third thing which is random and picked everyday. (It would be interesting to combine the points idea with the third random item to use).

/ramblings

And I might as well ask: Are the players going to be based off real Hunger Game characters or be vague new people? (Mod question in audience participation thread wooh)

Based on real people. The theme is honoring famous Panemites of the past, so they can do whatever they want (don't have to play in character), but are given a faction based on their assigned character.

Well, if the Katniss-mimic doesn't break into regular self-pitying first-person monologues, I'm certainly not sending her anything.

Though, with twelve players, which characters are being used? Some districts have one or no main-ish characters, but in a few of them both tributes were named (And that's not including the other books). Will every district be represented exactly once?

No, I didn't particularly care about representing districts precisely because they aren't all mentioned a lot in the books. Another reason I made it based on historical Panemites was so I could use people that were never even in the games. TMG will add a list when he feels like it.

Cato and Clove will give Haymitch a scum result. Also, Peeta dies if Katniss does.

I've only read Hunger Games, but the point of sponsoring is that it costs a lot of money. It's basically a profit-making gimmick like the ones you see on Reality TV shows. I don't see why they wouldn't allow the districts to sponsor, if they had the munnies.

Makes sense. Another way to bleed em dry and keep em down.

Don't forget that gifts get significantly more expensive the later in the games they are given.

Can we give poisoned gifts? :twisted: A weapon that doesn't work, a salve that actually causes hallucinations, etc?

No gifts can give negative points. The Games weaken them enough.

I decided I'm not going to tell Katniss and Peeta that Peeta dies when she does. I want to do something evil. It's a bastard game anyway.

So I'm going to renege on my previous post. I feel like founding a sponsor faction. I'm going to call it the 'Maximum Carnage' faction. The rules:

1. The Maximum Carnage faction will take whatever actions result in the most deaths in the shortest amount of time possible. Because good deaths make for good entertainment!
2. All else being equal, carnage-wise, we will reward good roleplaying and activity in the thread.
3. Modkills are good for carnage, so complete inactivity is also a boon. We shouldn't encourage players to kill the inactive.
4. Katniss must die. Because, seriously. Also, it kills two people with only a single action.

Anyone want to join me? We can modify the rules if you like, that's just an initial suggestion. I figure we need 3-4 people in the faction to stand a good chance of being able to control the gifts granted.

Thought of something.

Is it possible to create an immortal Mafia member?

Condition: A dead thief.

Begins with a sample distribution of base character scores.
Town: 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12
Mafia: 3, 5, 10.

Day Four Distribution:
Town: 4, 6, 7, 8, 9
Mafia: 10

(Expects one less Town, with Katniss as the twelve score. Shush.) Awarded the most appropriate weapon and three items to the Mafia member. Cannot lose in the Pit. Will not be nightkilled. Wins automatically. Assumed some parts, though.

What happens in the event of a tied score between combatants?
Do wire/blanket/food/medicine/rope/camouflage bonuses stack with each other?
Does fatigue only affect the victor of the Pit?
Does fatigue affect everyone equally?

Relies on luck, of course. Does not know the base character scores.

Requests one more thing:
May "equipment" please be renamed? Refers to both (weapons and items) and (items).
Changes its form depending on the observer.
