So, next task. Interviews.
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.

Scores
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.

Private Training
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.

Training Sessions
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.

The Chariot Rides
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 Train Ride [Optional]
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.
Start! You have two weeks to send your entries to me via email [zathiernone@gmail.com] and then to comment it on this post after you get my approval. By the 9th of February it has to be completed.

The Reaping
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.
