Arena Update.

This arena has thus far, felt very much like watching an extreme sort of slumber party; kids in their pajamas slinking down hallways, breaking things and poking their noses in places they don't belong. Thankfully most slumber parties are several degrees less bloody in popular practice, and seldom take place in museums, but it sure has caused a rush order on luxury pajamas!

Creative use of the exhibits is an at-home favourite.

Creative use of your fellow tributes is a favourite of everyone.

The lack of wilderness, or any outdoor exposure at all in the video feeds makes hits arena seem particularly close to home. Familiar locations that the audience at home can relate to really makes them feel like they're a part of this experience with you!

Some are rooting for you.

Some would like to see you suffer.

In the end, all but one of you will fail.

Sponshorship Programme.

By our [always accurate and never at all leaked from inside sources] calculations, the above tributes are presently at the most risk of death. If not sponsored by the end of the week, these tributes will meet their untimely and quite possibly brutal end. Any and all interested sponsors, please submit your payment of 100 Credits to our main office by no later than close of business Friday.

Any tributes without sponsors?

Sorry. We tried.

We would like to remind you however, that saving someone from the dark grip of death isn't the only thing our sponsorship programme offers. We have other items available. And remember! Get these items while they're hot. You won't see prices this low for the rest of this arena!

Gamemaker Notes//Out Of Character.

Sorry for the delay on this guys, the weekend completely got away from me! Just a reminder though that Death Rolls from here on out will be on Fridays, starting on January 24th! Also, Death Rolls are going to be the Arena's weekly source of information, and the Capitol is about to get it's own special treat for all it's special tidbits; it's very own radio talk show, with esteemed radio personality, Cecil Palmer! We're very excited to tune in.

Happy Hunger Games!

Parachutes! ALL OF THE PARACHUTES

[iflipmyhair]

The following characters will be getting the following items from the following people, using Homura's credits:

Homura will be getting 5 cases of bullets (100), three rations of food (60), a flashlight (20), a fire-starting kit (10), a museum map (10), and a crowbar (20). Total: 220.

Sigma Klim will be getting three rations of food (60), and a museum map (10). Total: 70.

Homura's current point total is 725 - 290 = 435 points.

--

The following characters will be getting the following items from the following people, using Jack and Homura's credits:

All District 8 Tributes (Holiday, Cosette, Armin, Creature - hopefully I didn't forget anyone) and Karkat will be getting Two food rations each (180), a museum map (50), a crowbar (100) and a flashlight (100). Total: 430.

Everyone but Karkat will receive a message in very large, blue font: "USE WISELY AND GOOD LUCK. - J.A." It will be obvious to them who got them the items.

Karkat will simply get a note that says "Help your friends". It is unsigned.

This brings Jack down to zero credits from 395. Homura's credits pick up the remaining 40 credits, bringing her to 390 credits remaining.

--

The following characters will be getting the following items from the following people, using Don's credits:

Don, Shepard and Mindy will be receiving 5 rations of food (300), 1 museum map (30), 1 flashlight (60), 1 first aid kit (60), 1 crowbar (60), and 1 spool of metal wire (45). Total: 555.

Don has 5 credits remaining.

Items:

[youbarium]

To Carlos, from anonymous sponsors:

-Wire for 15 credits
-Flashlight for 20 credits
-Map for 10 credits
-Small folding knife for 10 credits

That's 55, leaving him with 45 of his starting 100. I guess the think he's pretty or that he can do cool things with the museum's electronics later on. But they're definitely not giving him food or water, since he only does interesting things when he has to come out for them.

Death Buyout for Hawkeye!

[alldeduction]

Buying out Hawkeye with Ellie's points, leaving her with 630!

Arena Plotting

[gamemakers]

R || WARM BODIES (human R)

[alonelyboy]

YEAH. Basically R will be spending week 1 trying to adjust to hunger and sleeping positions. Basically he'll be the kind of Tribute you'd want to keep alive just to take advantage of his fail.

I think I'm looking so far at threads with:
- Perry Kelvin - having to team up with him?
- Howard - trying to teem up with him and showing Howard sometimes a zombie is better than a human?
- Eponine - R has a donut and he's ready to naively hand it over to her like a tribute
- Julie - maybe before end of the week before he runs into Perry? She could probably try to show him some survival stuff or like...general tips. D:
- Kili - gem room with R?
- Pruna - maybe R could get his sponsor gift for helping Eponine, he could fail to get it back from her. Basically rough up R a bit despite him being like way bigger than her D:

Overall that's probably it for threads, I'm open to more for Week 1 if you don't mind backtagging.

Capitol Poltting

[gamemakers]

[president_evil]

Don't forget District 11 tributes, Wesker is available for your purchasing needs - given that he thinks you've earned it. Especially you, Joan. Also, he will forever be continuing his incentive program for non-11 tributes. I.E., do something he likes and you'll be rewarded. Right now that boils down to if your character tangles with Aunamee and gets a couple of good licks in, he'll send them something with a note about trying again.

Questions?

[gamemakers]

Ask away!

Re: Questions?

[splendid_roman]

I haven't threaded it out yet but Ian C is dying close to the start of the arena - so I think that means he needs to go on Friday's death list.
