Virtual Game #4: The Hunger Games

[paleonaps]

Hello, everyone, and welcome to the 32nd Hunger Games. This is the president of Panem speaking. Here are the rules:

1.The next eleven people to post will be the contestants. Pick your district. As twelve only won about two rounds, do not pick them as your district. That is why there are only eleven to be chosen from.
2. When you join, you will need to fill out the following on a scale of one to ten. You have 25 points to fill them with.
Endurance
Speed
Hunting/Gathering
Firemaking
Cunning
3. You should also fill out which your skills are in the following [out of 30]:
Clubbing
Archery
Knife-throwing
Spear-throwing
Swordplay
Wrestling

During your turn, you may do 1 action. These will fall into the survival and attack categories. Dice determine success. If you wish to hunt, you must state the animal you are hunting. The bar is set for a certain number of points that you need to roll to succeed. I will wind up posting what animals are present in the arena after everyone is in and the arena is revealed.
Attacking works the way a RISK battle does (or my mistaken view of how it does). Basically, the attacker initiates the type of conflict that this is, according to the skills I wrote down. The skill level is the number of dice you get, and the highest number wins.

Guys- you need to state which district you're from. You'll get some sort of a bonus for some districts, and it keeps things organized.

Hey paleo, you missed #2 and #3. You can't skip from v game 1 to v game 4.
Also, this looks a bit too complicated.
Also, this was an awesome book, let us not ruin it with a game.
Also, eleven people is a bit much, what with TAR.
Also, and last but not least, I do not wish to play.

Ok, robodude, Im calling you out on this one.

This was entirely uneeded, and could have easily been sent via a PM, instead of out here in the open. If you are dissatisfied with the way its formatted, then that is something you should discuss with paleonaps privately. And in response to your list of also's:

1) Don't judge a book by it's cover
2) refer to the themed assassinations. Themed games can be successful if run correctly.
3) TAR has 10 people, its not much of a difference, and if paleo is right about this being low commitment in comparison, he should have a chance.
4) no, robodude, just no. that was rude, and really not needed. refer to the "take it to pm's line"

btw, I pick District 7

[brobo]

You are right... I'm sorry paleonaps. What I said was really rude and completely uneccessary, even if it had been sent in a PM. It was just "one of those days", but it still should not have been said. I'm sorry.
Alas, I do not wish to play, but I wish you the best of luck in setting up your own series of games.

*walks away, ashamed of himself*
