Blogland Hunger Games - Explaination

Okay so I trust everyone has at least HEARD of the Hunger Games, if not then how have you avoided it??
Anyway, the basic idea of the Hunger Games is that twenty four names are chosen, twelve boys, twelve girls, a girl and a boy from each 'district'. They are then taken from the districts and sent to the capital, there they are made to look pretty and introduced to the capitals public looking hell-a hot, or sweet, or whatever angle the make up people thought would get the most sponsors. They are then trained for a couple of weeks (I can't remember the exact amount) before being sent away to an arena with a tracker in their arm. The when they arrive they stand on their plate for sixty second (if they step off early they explode.) and mentally prepare themselves. There's a giant golden horn thing in the center (Cornucopia)  full of supplies. Some are weapons, some is food, blankets, medicines and what not. The arena itself is basically a death trap, it's different every time, it could be a desert, a forest, a jungle, an ocean, etc. Most of the stuff there is genetically modified to kill or harm you. On top of that you have the game makers, they control the grounds. They can make night come quicker, animals pop up out of no where, fire balls shoot at you, basically they're deadly as hell. You fight to the death. Only one is allowed to remain. Alliances can form but in the end you turn on your allies. It's all rather violent and in some cases emotional. It strips people away from their humanity in many cases.
So naturally I thought it'd be great to combine with blogland.
Now the blogland games would be different, for example you wouldn't have your magic, only you natural physical attributes. Cheating while in the arena would get you killed, but more details on that later. I'm not sure how you would do the districts, that will be decided later probably. Using some small sense of logic. Oh and something I missed, if you aren't picked but you are in that district and the same sex as the chosen person you can shout 'I VOLUNTEER AS TRIBUTE!' and if you're first you take the persons place in the games. All very simple. Anyway this is mainly just for you people to comment your opinions, if it sounds like a good idea or a bad idea, if you thing we should do it etc. Oh and if you want to be a game maker. It will all be non-cannon rp so if you die it doesn't matter for the cannon rp. So yeah, if it gets a positive response I'll go ahead with it. 
Thanks, Silente Tempest

  2. Sounds great :) :) :) - but, wouldn't it be best to do it non-rp . . . ?

    Because like
    why the fuck would we, as people, organise it?

  3. Okay replies to people!
    Tia, cool! Volunteers make everything fun. And that's if you're in the same district...
    Star, well...I could imagine Zaf doing it...I'll figure more details out later.
    El, the actual stuff type stuff of it will either happen weekends or holidays..if people don't need to be on at the same time that'll be fine.
    Clara, thanks!

  4. @Silente: Hmmmmmmm yeah, Zaf doing it could work . . . :) :)

    And, yeah. We could roleplay like people email - just reply here and there distantly, instead of constantly needing to be online and focused and present.

  5. *exasperated sigh* We'll work something out El, I only came up with the concept like an hour or three ago!
    @Star or some other loony

  6. @El: Idk - we'd all have to be considerate and patient, which might be hard for some people. :P
    *is joking but serious at the same time*

    Also - age limits. Would we have to limit it to teenagers?

  7. Silente, I really like the background. :)

  8. No age limits, half of blogland might be too old and plus that would just limit the amount of competitors.

  9. *nods at Silente* :) Yeah, that was my thinking. :)

  10. Yeah..
    btw theres a massive clarente thing going down on the blog :)

  11. This sounds like an amazing idea and I totally volunteer.

  12. Awesome! But I have an idea, we should use our magic, it'd be an interesting twist. To be fair, anyone who knows their true name is limited to their magic that they'd have by their Surge. If I was a tribute I can only use Necromancy as my magic.

    I've admined THG before so if you want me to help out I'll gladly do it. We had a very good system to rp it, and if you want Sil, I'll share with you.

  14. OH MY GOSH!!! Awesome idea!! I would totally do it!
    About the no magic...
    What about vampires? They have extra strength but it's not exactly natural for them. And Sophia's biotics. But really great idea!!!!
