And we're back. The following is the combined perspectives of everyone's entries. From here on, you will have to submit one entry per two weeks, just as before. You will cover a single day in those weeks. Remember to confer with your alliance members and to REREAD THE RULES.
Before that, though, here are the pack contents that have been taken.

- 2 awls
- 4 slices of dried beef
- 1 box of 25 crackers

As the gong sounds, most
competitors move forwards off their pedestals. At once, Ganz from 11 trips over
her feet in eagerness and buries her skull into an upturned hatchet, becoming the
first death of the Games.
The only tributes
that manoeuvre themselves in the opposite direction are Inkbright of 8, Nemesis
6 and Sky 3. Nemesis submerges himself in the 10m stretch of water at once and
soon encounters Sky once on dry land again. He manages to submerge her head
into the water once again and drowns her in a few short minutes.
Meanwhile, many of
the other competitors have sprinted into the very heart of the Cornucopia. Every
competitor for Districts 1 and two reach the Cornucopia and emerge with
weapons. Cain of 2 guards the weapons while the other three go off to hunt.
Inkbright acquires rope of a fair length after tripping over it and then
follows Nemesis across the water. Vicissitude of 1 kills Life of 7 and
Braginski of 5 takes down LeStarre of 10 with a knife to the neck. Gray of 9
plunges a knife into the skull of his fellow District partner, Leamy, and then heads
for the water stretch with a blue pack.
Wolf of 6 has secured
a blue backpack and has retreated into the forest along with her allies,
Inkbright (who finally made it to dry land after a good minute or so of
panicking in the water), Leno of 8, and Nemesis, while Cat from 12 follows
suit, though not part of the pack. She carries a green pack and a few different
assorted items. Gray works up the courage to plunge into the water, crosses it,
and sprints for the jungle where he lingers out of sight, waiting for the
bloodbath to pass. Threatening of 4 has secured a red and a green pack along
with a spear, and has ended the life of Goran from 10. Somewhere in here Braginski kills LeStarre from 10.
Rose of 4 and Daniels
of 11 have both caught up with Threatening, another complete alliance, with a
single orange pack and a few knives. Rose suffers a knife wound to her
shoulder, and the trio head for the forest. Cain kills Fitz of 7 with a sword.
Phoenix retreats into
the jungle a fair distance away from Gray with no weapons and a yellow pack.
Cieran Sever, Vestige
Vicissitude, Ariston Nevmer, Miss Cain, Nixion Strange and Sparky Braginski
remain at the Cornucopia as the career pack of the Games.
Eden Threatening,
Death Rose and Tug Daniels run through the forest as an alliance.
Alvard Nemesis, Christine Wolf, Cambric Leno
and Star Inkbright also dwell in the forest as another alliance.
Flame Phoenix runs
from the Cornucopia in the jungle, alone. Shaun Gray also resides in the
jungle, though on the outskirts, watching the careers.
The bodies of Helena
Sky, Darcy Fitz, Niamh Life, Elizabeth Leamy, Pullus Goran, Kestrel LeStarre, Tarny Ganz and
Robby Shepard litter the concrete slab and make up the dead. The cannon fires
seven times. The bloodbath comes to a close. The games begin.

Start. You have two weeks to submit your entries to me via email [zathiernone@gmail.com] and then comment them on this post after getting my permission. By the 24th of October this has to be completed. If you need extra time, this is fine, as long as you have a good reason for it, as always.
Due to reduced internet speed tonight, it appears I can't upload the maps containing information on water streams or the time it takes to cross certain areas of the arena. Those will be uploaded tomorrow.
Certain conditions concerning different areas of the arena are also in the process of being written and will be uploaded as soon as they are completed.

Due to schoolwork, other projects and current complications over at my end, this competition is taking a hiatus. While this means there is no current official activity, it also gives you all some time to get things organised for the actual Games.
This hiatus will last from 2 - 4 weeks.
Thank you for understanding. And if you don't understand, then...
As those of you who have read the rules of the competition, you should be aware of the fact that the original plan of the Beginning Of The Games was going to be done in a roleplay. Due to the fact that so many of us live in different timezones, however, added with the complications of people having various other things on at possible times makes it more difficult than expected to plan and organise the roleplay to work properly.
As a result I have decided, thanks to a very helpful suggestion, that the way the Beginning Of The Games will work is going to be changed, and will be explained below.
The way these entries will work now is going to work pretty much like normal entries would. Each one of you will write out your character playing out the events after the gong sounds. You will write out deciding whether to run in for supplies or turn away and head for either the forest or the jungle after crossing the ten metre long stretch of water between the pedestals and dry land.
Inside of these entries, you will be able to interact with the CPU Tributes, but only the ones you claim control over. A full list of available and taken CPU's will be available below. It's also recommended more than normal that you write these entries out in collaboration with any players you may be in an alliance with. That said, every player in the alliance must submit their own entry.
Depending on the In-Game Statistics that your character has and that CPU's in question have, killing said CPU's is possible.
After each of you have submitted these entries to me, I will write up a summary of how the events all panned out in the initial bloodbath of the Cornucopia which will then be posted. Your entries will be commented under that post.
Also, as a final note, NiamhHasNoLife and Darcy Fitzgealrd, both of District 7 will henceforth be referred to as "Niamh Life" and "Darcy Fitz" for simplicity's sake.
Available CPU's
- Helena Ember Sky [Female - District 3]
- Flame Phoenix [Male - District 5]
Taken CPU's
- Cieran Sever [Male - District 1] Miss Cain/Sparky Braginski
- Vestige Vicissitude [Female - District 1] Miss Cain/Sparky Braginski
- Ariston Nevmer [Male - District 2] Miss Cain
- Nixion Strange [Male - District 3] Sparky Braginski
- Christine Wolf [Female - District 6] Alvard Nemesis/Star Inkbright
- Niamh Life [Female - District 7] Miss Cain
- Darcy Fitz [Male - District 7] Miss Cain
- Cambric Leno [Male - District 8] Star Inkbright/Alvard Nemesis
- Elizabeth Leamy [Female - District 9] Shaun Gray-
- Pullus Goran [Male - District 10] Eden Threatening
- Kestrel LeStarre [Female - District 10] Sparky Braginski
- Tug Daniels [Male - District 11] Death Rose
- Tarny Ganz [Female - District 11] Zathract Mist [Gamemaker/Me]
- Robby Shepard [Male - District 12] Sparky Braginski
Right, so, yes. You all have to write your entries for the Beginning Of The Games. Use the advice above, disregard the roleplay concept, and so on.
What kind of objects and packs are around you are pretty much open to interpretation, however, you must keep them realistic. For example, any Tribute that picks up a top-quality lethal weapon will not be able to keep that in their entry. There are five different coloured packs you can pick up.
- Red
- Orange
- Green
- Blue
- Yellow
Each one will contain various different items that will remain undisclosed until the entries have been submitted and commented.
Obviously, there will be high quality items in the very heart of the Cornucopia such as durable tents, weapons, medicine and so on.
In front of a select few competitors, there will be a set amount of bottles of water (as their reward for completing the Train Ride entry).
Sparky Braginski - 3 bottles of water.
Eden Threatening - 1 bottle of water.
Death Rose - 2 bottles of water.
Miss Cain - 3 bottles of water.
Flame Phoenix [CPU] - 2 bottles of water.
Please keep in mind that there is a flotation device in the belts of the Games uniform as to keep each Tribute afloat in the water surrounding the Cornucopia. However, none of the Tributes would have any reason to suspect or believe that such a thing has been done, so they will have to work and react as though they are unaware of it. If they are horrified of water or did not learn how to swim, this will have to show.
Start. You have two weeks to submit your entries to me via email [zathiernone@gmail.com]. Please do not comment your entries on this post, as there will be another post containing the summary of the bloodbath events following this one which your entries will be commented on.
By the 18th of August this has to be completed.
If you need extra time, this is, as always, fine, as long as you notify me through email as to why.
It would be appreciated if you could get your entries in before the very last day of writing time.

At last, it's is here.
The final task before the actual Games begin. The Arena.
Right, so as you should all know, this task is pretty much just about getting ready to get into the Launch Tubes. After that's done, you will have react to the general scene around the Cornucopia. A simple map of the Arena will be posted below. Please keep in mind that it's ridiculously difficult to make authentic looking maps, so don't judge the awfulness of it.
That said, a more detailed version of it will appear in the next post for the Beginning Of The Games roleplay.
Anyways, moving on. All previous rules apply.
Start. You have two weeks to submit your entries to me via email [zathiernone@gmail.com] after you get my approval.
And for the love of god, please get them in on time. Most of you have good and legitimate excuses for delayed entries but some are just down to pure laziness. For those people, the only reason you're actually still in the competition is because I'm so short on competitors that it would be the dumbest move on my part to boot anyone at this point.
So please get them in properly.
Updates And Announcements: Statistics [Pre-Games] pagehas been updated Statistics [In-Games] page will be updated soon
The Arena Map:
The Cornucopia ring is regular sized.
Twenty-Four pedestals line the outside of the concrete slab and explosives are set to go off if any competitor step off their pedestal before the beginning of the Games.
The outside of the Cornucopia concrete slab is a ten metre long ring of water, deep enough so that the tallest of the competitors cannot touch the bottom without being entirely submerged.
There are packs, weapons, supplies and other various items in the heart of the Cornucopia and others decreasing in importance the further away they are from the centre.
That's all that needs explaining for now.

This will be your last chance to impress Sponsors before The Games start. You'll have to interact with your stylists again and then with your mentors. Decide on how you'll approach your interview and what kind of things you'll say. As mentioned in the Rules, you will have control over Flickerman for the duration of the interview, but please try to keep him in-character.
All previous rules apply.
Start. You have two weeks to submit your entries to me via email [zathiernone@gmail.com]. By the 20th of June this has to be completed.

So yeah, there was a ten day gap from when the entries were due in to now. That being said, there was a very good reason for that. Someone sliced open my side, stole one of my ribs, and drilled some metal crap into my spine. It hurt. I've been recovering. I'm mostly better now. Better enough to continue this competition, at any rate. So welcome back. No players down this time, which is good, because honestly if we sink much lower there's not going to be much of anyone left. Thanks for submitting mostly on time and being ready to go by now. As you should know, this entry can be as long as you wish, with long detailed reactions to each scores, or incredibly short with your character receiving and taking news as they may. The scores for the CPU's will give you an indication to how powerful they'll be in the arena while I control them. Writing quality had a hand in some of the scores. District 1

Once again, there was a delay between the 1st of April and this post, and I apologize for that. That delay was due to certain competitors requiring more time. Now, I don't have a problem with people needing more time. I don't know what goes on in your lives, I don't know if there are issues going on at the moment, I don't know if your teachers decided to randomly shove a huge workload on you for no reason, so extensions are fine by me.
That being said, the amount of time that some players needed for an extension this time around was ridiculous. Not only did you have three weeks to write this entry, but the person who ended up requesting the most time didn't even end up submitting the entry. Had that not been the case, this post would have been up a whole week prior to this.
Needless to say, I'm disappointed. I do admit, however, that I should have divided the Training entries into three different challenges for you to do instead of one large entry. But all the same, I was expecting a higher standard. Note that this is not being said in direction to the players that got their entries in on time, or relatively close to the due date.
So. We're another player down, and by this rate there's not going to be any competitors left by the time The Games actually start.
The next task is Private Training This entry will directly affect your Sponsor Rates, and also determine your Training Score. Tribute interaction, again, is allowed during this entry, but must be agreed on by the other player, or requested to me if it is a CPU. If you have already claimed a CPU Tribute in the previous entry, you don't need to ask for it/him/her again. Alliances still work the same way. ALL TRIBUTES INVOLVED MUST SEND A NOTIFICATION TO ME. This, obviously, is the exception of CPU's, considering no player actually controls them up until The Games, which will then be me.
Private Training works much like Training does. You'll be called into a room with the Training Stations set up with a few Instructors scattered in places for your needs in demonstrating your skills to the Gamemakers. From there you'll do your best to impress the Gamemakers and show them what you can do. You pretty much do whatever you like here, but again keep it realistic, and you can only do things that you've either been able to do since before The Reaping, or have learnt in Training. No new things that have never been mentioned before - that won't be allowed.
The three day Training Sessions have passed and now it's time for the Private Training session for each Tribute. They each gather at the entrance to the room and wait for their name to be called.
Start. You have two weeks to submit your entry to me via email [zathiernone@gmail.com]. By the 4th of May this has to be completed. YOU WILL NOT COMMENT YOUR ENTRIES ON THIS POST. These entries are called Private Training for a reason, and maintaining hidden skill in The Arena will be important for some people.
Please note that from the 1st of May to the 8th of May I will most likely not be able to access email due to me having to have surgery. Obviously, people who submit entries on the 4th and are not read by me until I arrive back will not be penalized in any way.
Updates And Announcements:

The 25th of January has passed. In fact, it passed a long time ago. Unfortunately, a few of the competitors required extra time to complete their entries, and extra time was given. I do, however, apologize for the length of time delayed from the last event to this one.
That being said, Vestige Vicissitude of District 1, Nixion Strange & Helena Sky of District 3, and Kestrel LeStarre of District 10 have failed to comply with the deadline of the entry - even with extended time - and as such are henceforth taking no further part in The Hunger Games Competition.
So with those competitors gone, the number of competitors has been narrowed down to six... I have to say, it doesn't look like it's going to be much of a bloody competition.
...The next task is the Training Sessions. This entry in itself will not affect your Sponsor Rates directly, but will definitely have a lasting affect on what you will be able to show the Gamemakers in the next task as well as what you will be able to do in The Games.
You do not need to work with your District Partner in this necessarily, but it is still a good idea to talk things over with them especially if your characters will be interacting. On top of this, now that we are entering a stage where Alliances are coming into play and District Interaction becomes more essential, the option to Request CPU's will become open to you all. You do this in the way you would expect - send me an email. Send me an email, request a CPU for you to either use or involve in whatever other alliances you may have and then I'll give you a verdict on it. If they're already taken by some other player, then you will not be able to use that CPU. If the CPU is already partial to the actual Player of that District, then you will also need to contact that Player (Miss Cain for example) and then come to me.
Simply mentioning a CPU is allowed, though only in passing, nothing major. This goes for mentioning an actual Player as well - only in passing, and it has to be something that they've actually done. Which will mean you will have to have either talked to them or read their already-commented entry.
All notifications of Alliances MUST BE SENT TO ME THROUGH EMAIL. If I am not given a notification of an Alliance and find out about it later on, that Alliance will be disbanded. All Alliances also must be realistic, the same applies for your training. Any unrealistic stupid behavior will not be accepted and will be required to change.
For example, a twelve year old boy will not be able to lift the heaviest weight in the room. I don't care how long he's been training or how much determination he has, no twelve year old can lift something like that.
As for Alliances, it will be unlikely that a Career Tribute will come to one of the outline Districts for an Alliance unless they display some sort of relevant and useful skill to catch their attention. And again, if displaying such a skill, it must be realistic.
The schedule is as follows. All Tributes are required down at the Training Rooms at 10:00 am every morning. The Tributes are free to train throughout the day. There is a thirty minute break at midday for lunch before Tributes resume again until 4:00 pm. This lasts for three days.
With the Chariot Rides finished, the next day brings the start of the three-day Training Sessions for all the Tributes. At 10am they all make their way down to the Training Rooms and make their start. Upon arrival, the announcer instructor reminds all Tributes that there is a large chance that they will be killed by something such as dehydration and infections rather than at the hands of another Tribute, so do not overlook the smaller stations.
In Training, there are a set of Stations you can move around to freely. [MAKE SURE YOU CLICK ON THE BUTTON TO REVEAL THE STATIONS. ANY STATIONS THAT ARE NOT MENTIONED BELOW WILL NOT BE PERMITTED IN ENTRIES]
-
Firework
This station has a large setting behind of woodland behind the
front of it. The task for the Tributes is to enter the woodlands, gather wood
and/or leaves and bring them back to the front of the station. Afterwards, the
Tribute(s) proceed to build and light a campfire.
-
Knot-Tying
This station is fairly self-explanatory. There are a multiple
instructors at this station with a large variety of different rope materials. They
are there to assist you in learning however many knots you wish to learn. [A
full list of existing knots can be found here].
-
Snare
Setting
Again, a fairly simple station. There are multiple instructors at
this station, placed to teach you how to set snares to trap Tributes, catch
food, knock a Tribute out, etc.
-
Animal
Skinning
This station has multiple different dead animals hanging from
hooks (possums, squirrels etc.) and the instructors there will teach you how to
skin the animal, to cook the animal, and how to avoid swallowing bones. The
same process also applies for fish at this station.
-
Tracking
& Senses
This station will teach you a large number of things. They will
teach you to recognise what footprints belong to what animal, how recently they
were made, if they are injured or not, what body type they belong to (if human).
On top of that, this station also offers basic sense training which includes
reading which direction the wind is blowing in, how to recognise which way is
North and so on.
-
Plants
This station goes through a huge range of different plants and
also teaches you the properties of these plants. This includes their uses, if
they’re edible or not, if they’re poisonous, their life span, etc.
This station also includes a test in which you will attempt to
identify as many plants against a basic description of them as possible within
the time frame given.
-
Climbing
Course
This station has three different sections to it – all (obviously)
to do with climbing and scaling. Beginners are encouraged to begin on the
ladder. Intermediate climbers are defaulted to the net and/or rope that hang
from the ceiling, as well as a rough artificial tree. And for experienced
climbers there is a vast Capitol-Generated cliff-face. The aim is to reach the
top as fast as possible. No harnesses or any other means of protection are open
to use in this station.
-
Shelter
Building
This station, as implied, focuses on teaching you to build
shelters out of a range of materials. Similar to the Firework Station in the
sense that there is a large environment behind it and you are required to
gather what materials you can before listening to the instructors and learning
how to construct something significant out of them.
This station is also linked to the Camouflage Station.
-
Camouflage
This station is linked to the Shelter Building Station.
Camouflage teaches the Tributes how to effectively disguise one
thing as another, usually applies to certain body parts – most commonly the arm
in practice. Various paints and materials are set around the station and you
are free to experiment and seek help from the instructors. These skills are
usually later put to use in the Shelter Building Station.
-
Swimming
Practices
This station is set up in a large pool in the Training Room. The
instructors are all in the water and you are taught how to swim and also how to
effectively apply other abilities in the water as well – mostly combat.
-
Weights
A simple station, though an important one to focus of for sheer
strength. A huge range of different weights are set up that evolve from small,
bone-shaped weights to huge weights in the form of steel barrels.
-
Obstacle
Courses
This station has a large variety of different obstacle courses.
[I won’t be specifying any particular ones. Any Tributes going to
this station will make up their own obstacle course to test and hone their
abilities. This station has the potential to be incredibly rewarding if used
correctly]
-
Self
Defence & Hand-To-Hand Combat
This station is all about non-weaponized combat. Naturally, there
are many instructors at this station and are all there to assist you. You will
be taught basic blocks, basic offensive strikes and basic counters. If you
already know that much already, you will be moved on to more advanced training
before attending sparing sessions with certain instructors. Wrestling is also
included in this station.
On top of this, this station also has punching bags and dummies to
practice on as well as charts for pressure points and so on.
-
Freelance
This station isn’t so organised. Rather, there are ten or so
instructors placed around mats for Tributes to use however they wish. This
station is mostly used for cardio activities (push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups,
etc.), and stretching.
-
Survival
Skills
This station mostly focuses on how to obtain food. While it does
incorporate some methods of hunting, it mainly focuses on making certain things
edible, as hunting is demonstrated more in-depth in Tracking & Senses.
This includes purifying water, identifying rotten/rotting food,
identifying a poisoned animal, making a hammock etc.
-
Animal
Hunting
This station will put you through a variety of events in an environment
set up in the station for you to attempt to track and kill an animal. This
animal can range from anything from a wild bear to a fish.
This station also teaches competitors how to fish.
-
Weapons
Self-explanatory. This is the largest station of them all and has
an enormous variety of weapons in which to choose from. Instructors are all
over this station. You can practice against the air, learn how to use a weapon,
battle an instructor or use the weapons against any of the multiple objects set
for them (punching bags, targets, full-body targets etc.). There are no guns in
this station (or any of the others).
This station also includes a variety of sub-stations which focus
on a particular major weapon. These subheadings are…
- Archery
- Axes
- Knives
- Slingshots
- Spears

The 9th of February has passed and all those wishing to submit an entry have done so. Five entries were sent and five entries were approved. The following people will be getting (a) bottle(s) of water in The Games.
Sparky Braginski has earned 3 bottles of water. Eden Threatening has earned 1 bottle of water. Death Rose has earned 2 bottles of water. Miss Cain has earned 3 bottles of water. Flame Phoenix has earned 2 bottles of water.
These amounts have been calculated by writing quality, and writing quality alone. For the others who didn't submit a Train Entry, you're on your own to find water in The Games.
Nothing in terms of Players have changed since the last post. No one has dropped out - even though I am aware of one of the competitor's current situation - and no one has joined. As such, this means that everything is the same.
Remember that you need to talk this over with your District partner and that THIS WILL AFFECT YOUR SPONSOR RATES. Be sure to read over the Rules and Functionings Page again to find out what to do in further detail.
The Tributes, having now all arrived at their stations in The Capitol, are guided towards their rooms where their Stylists begin to sort out and explain what they will each be wearing in the Tribute Parade - more commonly known as the Chariot Rides. After a few hours, this is completed, and all the Tributes begin to make their way down to their chariots.

THE LINK TO THIS BLOG WAS CHANGED ON THE 1ST OF FEBRUARY
The link to this blog was changed from thehungergamescompetiton.blogspot.com to thehungergamescompetition.blogspot.com. This change fixed the typo in "competition" and also hopefully made the link easier to remember. On the 1st of February.
The 25th has passed and the entries are in. Vestige Vicissitude has replaced Ruthe Maitland [CPU] as the Female Tribute for District 1, while the two competitors from District 7 (NiamhHasNoLife and Darcy Fitzgearld) have failed to meet the deadline for The Reaping and as such are henceforth taking no further part in The Hunger Games. They will both be replaced with CPU characters which will be made known on the Statistics [Pre-Games] page next to the Rules page. Charisma Thorne has also pulled out of the competition.
Remember, the Train Ride is an optional entry. Be sure to remember to look over the instructions for it on The Rules page.
As far as the CPU Reapings went, feel free to skim over those whereas you may want to include a bit more detail while observing the actual players. Reference this in their own entries. The Reaping Reception [In Capitol] Stat for each of the CPU's will give you some idea as to how you react.
The one requirement while watching the Reapings is that no one may have any kind of positive reaction Tarny Ganz. She is incredibly annoying, and will be played as such as a CPU. The Reaping draws to a close and the new 24 Tributes are guided towards their trains and are sent off to the Capitol.

The 9th of January has come and gone so that pretty much means that the time for applying for Districts has passed. However, if someone comes along and wishes to join sometime after this competition has started, simply email me and we can work something out, I'm sure.
But for now, it's just about time to start. Just quickly though, finer details concerning The Games (such as alliances and things inside alliances) will be further elaborated on as we come closer to The Games. Also, any questions you may have about the competition that need answering faster, just comment under The Rules page and I'll answer it for you.
There are also a few participants who are not yet following this blog. This is fine, if you'll remember to check the blog every few days, but it's recommended that you follow the blog and check your Dashboard frequently. I will send emails to these people about following.
But now, The Reaping is about to get underway! Remember - you'll need to work together with your District partners (if you have real life District partners) for these entries. And if you get a CPU District partner, just briefly mention them getting picked before or after yourself. And now, The Reaping!
The 43rd annual Hunger Games is approaching, and each of the 12 Districts of Panem sees all children from the ages of 12 to 18 gathering together for the event known as The Reaping. Some Districts enjoy this event immensely, while others dread it with each passing. This is the time where two tributes - a male and a female - from each District are chosen to participate in the annual Hunger Games. One representive of The Capitol for each District stands in front of all the children with two glass balls to either side of them with every child's name in there. One by one, the representive dips their hand into the ball and The Reaping for each District begins.
