It is edited, Jake! Sorry about that. OK, I am getting Apartment & Mentor threads up now. Only your district partners will be in these threads. I will also lock the lunch thread and the training thread in about six hours. The reason for this is to signify that it is evening time. Day 2 Lunch & Training threads will go up on Sunday. Today - Sunday: Mentor thread Apartment thread Sunday - Wednesday: Day 2 Lunch with tributes Day 2 training Day 2 Mentor-ship thread If a portion of the rp isn't as fun for you or is dragging, post in here and I'll check with every one to see if you want a different thread to go up. I am also leaving for my wedding on April 21st. I will PM out your interview questions before that so that you can start working on your answers. I will also open up the costuming thread for preparing for the parade, the apartment thread for preparing for the interview and a lunch thread for interacting with each other. New HG poll on when you would like to enter the arena: shadowclaw.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=hunger&thread=9235

I have updated the first post with updated rules. I will post them here so you can read them. If you have any questions, please ask. I may modify rules to add the explanation of these questions. Rules Please open the spoiler tabs for more indepth rules, spoilers were used to keep the monster readable.1. Posting Order: No one wants to come home from work and find that thier tribute has been stabbed in the face 26 times. A. Any one who has not posted in within 72 hours of Cornucopia going live will be killed by thier land mine.
B. Please wait for at least three people to post after you before you post again.
C. Please do not get more than two posts ahead of the slowest person in the scene.
For example: Luci posts in first Rory posts Tank posts Jace posts Luci can now post again, and does so Femra posts Kale posts Rory posts Luci posts Tank posts Femra posts Jace posts - Luci sees that Lallek, the district 4 tribute has not posted. She should wait for him to post before she posts again. This courtesy rule is for 48 hours from the time Cornucopia goes live (or the thread starts). Posting too often before the 48 hour rule will result in your post being deleted (and the contents PMed to you to be saved for when you can post). On the third reminder, -10 hp will be deducted from your tribute.
2. Attacking. A. If someone has not posted into the cornucopia, they are not to be attacked. Talk to them, interact, but no attacking. B. Post to the ooc to ask someone (or me, the ST) thier defense before attacking them. It is ok to post your defense to the ooc before cornucopia goes live. C. No one is to be attacked more than four times between thier posts. For example: Luci posts Femra attacks Luci Rory attacks Luci Tank attacks Luci Jace attacks Luci - As Luci has not posted in since the four attacks, she can not be attacked again.
3. Post Quality Please try and post a paragraph containing at least five sentences each post. 1. React to the posts before yours - acknowledge wounds to yourself or attacks to your alliance. 2. Interact with those who have interacted with your character 3. Acknowledge the presence or replies of those around your character 4. Post the action that your character takes clearly and descriptively. 5. Feel free to embellish with how your character feels or thinks of the situation. Always make sure you are contributing to the roleplay and give others something to react to in your post. 4. Fleeing: In order to flee from a thread, you must first post that you are fleeing. Then wait for three posts after yours. If no one posts attacking or intercepting you, make a final 'leaving' post declaring where you are going. After that, you are free to go to that location. Sorrel, District 11 female, decides to flee Cornucopia. She posts: This was all getting to be too much. I am sickened by the violence of the career tribute as I stare at the dying body of a boy. I can't help him. I have to get out of here myself. I clutch my knife in my hand and prepare to run to the frozen tundra.- Lallek posts (not intercepting or attacking Sorrel)
- Rory posts (not intercepting or attacking Sorrel)
- Jace posts (not intercepting or attacking Sorrel)
- Now Sorrel is free to flee. You can not pick up gear when fleeing.
She posts: 'I tuck in my elbows and run as fast as I can towards the frozen tundra. I am shivering from the cold, but force myself to continue on. I do not look at the fighting going on around me. I see a pack by my feet, but I can't stop to get it. To stop running is my death, I think. I run to the Frozen Tundra. You can (and should!) immediately post to the thread of the area that you are fleeing to. The cornucopia will have links to all of the open threads such as Frozen Tundra, the Forest and so on for your convenience. 5. Healing and damage: Damage:We are using WOD rules for damage of your character. After rolling for an attack and earning successes, your character has dealt that much damage to the other character. HealingThere are 2 ways to heal 1. Use a medical kit + medicine roll to yourself or others. You can try a survival roll to find medicinal items/plants in the arena without needing a medical kit. 2. Half of your damage heals every night when the anthem plays 6. Keep track of your inventory. Cornucopia special: You can grab one item in order from your character's tribute list with each post that you make to Cornucopia. You can attack & grab an item in the same turn. If for some reason we go through all of the items in your tribute list and there is still fight, I will add more things. If you add, use or change an item in your list, please post to the ooc and I will update your character's inventory. This includes filling water jugs or catching a rabbit. Your tribute's belt can hold up to three things on each side. For example, Cypress had a belt pouch, her sword, and her water jug on her belt. When she fell into the ocean, she automatically still had these things on her belt. 7. Food & Water goodies: If your character goes three days without water, you'll have to roll on the third day to fight through delirium in order to find water. If your character endures 3 full days without water, your character will die. Food ~ Your character can endure 5-7 days with out food. On the 4th day, you find yourself dealing with modifiers for moving, distraction and so on. On the seventh day without food, your character will die. Extras:Sponsorship: After Cornucopia, I will update your sponsorship bank account. You may make purchases from this account at any time of day or night and your character's parachute will arrive asap. The prices will rise substansially with each day and when the field of tributes begins to narrow down. Events will affect your bank account - making or breaking alliances, killing a tribute, surviving a direct attack, finding a food source or setting a trap - all sorts of actions that you do will affect the bank account. Prices: Day 1 Prices will increase every day (or after the field is cleared of many tributes)Armor:[li]Padded vest (1 armor) 100 credits [/li][li]Studded vest (2 armor) 200 credits [/li][li]Chest plate body armor (3 armor) 300 credits [/li][li]Helmet (1 armor) 100 credits [/li][/ul] Gear:50 credits - Blanket

[/spoiler] Events: There will be special events happening during the Hunger Games. This could be a snow storm, a rain storm, earth quake and so on. I will post in this OOC and the relevant thread with what the event is. Some will have specific consequences. For example, if the Frozen Tundra has a snow storm and your character has no winter coat, no fire or no constructed shelter, your character automatically suffers -10 hit points of damage. Some events may be good; such as a rainstorm making the fish in the lake more prone to bite and giving a positive modifier for fishing, finding worms and gathering water. Survival rolls for finding food:
There are areas that have food and water for your tribute. You can make survival rolls to find the blueberry patch or game path. Successes in setting snares means that you will find food when you return in an hour. 1 success may be a quail 2 success may be a rabbit 3 may be a fat raccoon and so on. You can also hunt animals using your tribute's weapons or by constructing new weapons. Each animal has a set HP and once you reach its hp through damage, the animal dies and an be butchered and eaten. For example, Pearl spots a small deer. She shoots it with arrows three times to kill it and then butchers and packs up some of its' meat.

Sorry I haven't been around everyone. I've worked 36 out of the last 70 or so hours. So I'm a bit... well tired. So maybe I'll post tomorrow. Hopefully.

Hello, I wanted to let every one know that the wedding is in crazy mode right now; meaning that I will not have much time for roleplaying. I will not be bringing the laptop to the wedding. Whats going to happen? - I will be sending out your interview questions for your tribute in private messages before I leave (hopefully tomorrow, Saturday at the latest). Go ahead and answer with whatever your tribute would reply with - I may get back to you with a follow up question. I'll put every one's questions together in a new interview thread when I return.
- Have you voted on when you want to start the arena? shadowclaw.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=hunger&action=display&thread=9235
- I will be opening up lunch threads so that you can socialize with each other
- I will be opening apartment threads for those with PC district partners. Your apartment thread will be a bit boring if your partner is an NPC as I won't be able to reply next week.
- Have you updated your sheet with the new buys that I posted that you earned in the ooc? I will be checking sheets before we launch the arena, but double check your sheet, please.
- If you have any questions, please post to the OOC and I'll answer. If I don't answer your question before I start prepping for the arena, please remind me in the ooc.
- Feel free to chit - chat in the ooc!

Okay every one, we are tiptoeing starting the Games.
1. I'll try and get the interview follow up questions out tonight and will post up what has already been answered. 2. Check this ooc for the skills that your character has learned and edit your character sheet. You need about 3-5 posts per station with good rp for me to post in that you've earned a new skill buy. 3. Keep checking training station threads; I'll be updating it often. You can finish off your current station and perhaps have time for one more station. 4. Those of you with apartment threads; you can get to know your district partners there. I know that Rory and Jace want one; I'll put those up after work. If you want one; post in here please.
If you want or need anything else, post in here!

Hello every one, the May 9th date that got the most votes for our start date has approached. I had been distracted by work & the wedding and didn't get as many posts as usual to the RP. Do you guys want more attention from me in preparation before we start the Games; or do you want to get right to the arena?
Post in, please!

Hey everyone! Sorry I've been SO busy. Seems as if teachers load on at the end of the year. Next week are finals for me, so I will be studying very hard! I promise, I'll be committed again. It's just hard right now. Thanks for understanding!

Okay so here's the skinny everyone. My dinosauar of a laptop is crapping out on me. My new one is coming this Monday. However, knowing me and my crap luck it will either die tomorrow when the games start or Sunday. Either way, if I don't post that's why. Please don't kill off Rory but I understand if you have to.

Hello every one, Hunger Games Arena will be opening ASAP! To prepare yourself, read the ooc first post for the updated rules. Be sure to check out the arena tribute list - when you make a post to the arena; you are allowed to pick up one item in order that it appears on your tribute list. I will be PMing every one with what they have earned from the training session - be sure to edit your sheet accordingly. If you have any questions, post here! ~Anne

Oh two things to remember- these weapons found at Cornucopia are +1, so add a die to your roll. We are also using sheetgen.dalines.net/wiki/WikiDiceRoller to roll. If you have a sheet there, you can select dieroller and roll right from it. You can just copy and paste the text. May the odds be with you!
