Week 2 Death Toll

[gamemakers]

The Capitol seal lights up the night sky in the arena as the Capitol's anthem is playing loudly enough for every tribute to hear.

The seal disappears to display


The anthem concludes as the Capitol’s seal reappears and disappears as the music ends.

Week 3 deaths to come chosen by random death rolls:

King Kazma
Wyatt Earp
Momoko


You are encouraged to use this post to plot this week's deaths, attacks and/or alliances.




THE CAPITOL

Lounge in the common area with mentors tributes and stylists! Get away from the Capitol parties, talk, perhaps even starts some whispers.


OOC

Busy OOC this week:

So we sorta biffed on the whole buying someones death thing. First time is always the roughest. It's no ones fault but our own, but we figured out the best route to make sure everything goes smoothly. If you want to volunteer for someone's death, PM them to check and make sure they don't have any plans, then PM the mods once it's cleared by them.

PM is probably the best way to get a hold of mods, for reference. Followed by private plurks to one of our personal accounts, which can be found here. You should be able to private plurk us even if you don't have us added.

Also, we are considering working using credit to buy sponsor stuff back into the system. It was worked out because no matter how much you bought or didn't buy, you died when you died. You could buy all the food and weapons ever and still get rolled in the first week and die, so we wanted to switch it to something that controlled more your time in the arena.

However there has been interest for both systems, and we are considering making it so you can buy supplies and others/occasionally your own life. Would you guys be interested in that?

And just in general does anyone have anything they'd want to see/comment/complaints? I know things are a little quiet with school starting, but we are always happy for suggestions.

Also I have a fun meme planned for next week in honor of Dragon Con. Bwa ha ha. Keep and eye out for it.

Revya's open for killing anyone who wants to die, as always.



Also a suggestion for a new section:

Basically a death claims list. Lists the survivors of the arena, as well as who killed who.

The section could be used to keep track of NPCs as well as plotting who kills them, as well as all the other player-related deaths. It could instead be posted with every Death Toll, though that might get bothersome. So just a list of survivors, who killed who (Maybe counting previous arenas as well,) and killing NPC plots, or maybe a NPC plot thread in general as well.

Anyways, just suggesting it, not really adamant about it or anything.

[gamemakers]

I'm thinking, I know Ni set us up a Wiki, and I feel like that might be a good way to keep up with it? We could make a page for every game, and then people could get in and edit their deaths.

[retrieverchef]

I like the idea of using credit for sponsoring. It'd make it a lot easier as a guideline for what would fit the character to get.

[the_marshal]

So death. Wyatt needs it. Who wants him?

(Also, has anyone heard from Momoko-mun? I'm unsure if they're supposed to be traveling together or...? We never got to finish our thread or anything.)

[tailforbrains]

... Neeshka could do it, if nobody else stands up. Since she's met him once already, and all :B

[the_marshal]

Okay. So, here's what I came up with. Does that sound okay? Any changes you'd like to make?

[tailforbrains]

Works for me! She opportunistic, not particularly vicious, so she'll take what's available :B Mostly I just want her to have ONE kill to her name before she gets death-rolled herself.

Besides, this way Wyatt might not hate her QUITE so much for killing him, since you said they could be allies sometime later on XD

[tailforbrains]

Who's setting that up, by the way? >.> or is it in a thread that's already up? If I'm late to the party, just poke me! :)

[the_marshal]

I am... not sure. But! I can tell you that it hasn't started yet, so no worries, you're not late yet. :)

[cowardfacinghappiness]

I mentioned this in the other thread, but yeah, I'm alright if you still want to travel together! And if we are, wanna go out in a blaze of glory together? Or a blaze of embarrassing hilarity, whichever.

[buildingreality]

I think that it would be sort of cool to be able to potentially buy your own / others' lives, just as long as it was worth a lot. It would be lame if everyone could just buy someone and cheat death like that. But it's definitely a thought.

Also seconding the above death claims list? I'd love to know who killed who and when, just because...I donno, it's tough to remember sometimes without flipping back through all the death rolls.

Plus, Ariadne wants to take out as many NPCs as she can, since it's the PCs she mostly cares about. |Da

My only complaint thus far is the lack of communication sometimes. I know that it can be super hard to get ahold of people because of time or people not using the same things, but it does make things very hard to figure out sometimes. And I noticed that the game chat sadly didn't get very far before dying out. So I'm not sure how to fix it, honestly. Just putting it out there (like a loser).

o3o


ALSO Ariadne is now on her own; is there anyone wandering about who wants an alliance? All of her usuals are dead now.

[cowardfacinghappiness]

So I have been full of FAIL lately, so sorry. Work's been ultra stressful and I really should have put up a slowatius notice at the very least, ugh. But, while I'm not going to be super speedy for the next couple of weeks I should be significantly better than I was. Which isn't hard, ugh. Anyway, this applies to:

Momoko who needs to die, yay! My timeline for her as of the moment is basically: meets Grue, parts ways, meets Wyatt, parts ways, meets up with and kills Lottie, then meets Wyatt again (? if Wyatt-mun hasn't made other plans) and in-between she's just been sort of hiding out, relying on coconuts, fish, and sponsors--mostly the sponsors--for food.

and

Alpha who after a brief killing/fighting bought with an NPC and Ariadne has decided to gather info and has basically been spying on the other Tributes and psychoanalyzing the hell out of 'em, so if anyone has any preferences for the conclusions he draws go ahead and note them here! Also if you don't want him to have run across your character for whatever reason and drawn any conclusions also go ahead and note here, I'll stick with NPCs for the most apart without specific permission.

Just for reference, he's really good at it except he has a very dim view of humanity and morality, so he won't see self-sacrifice, for example, as anything but a weakness.

(also Val but she's not a tribute so yeah)

[the_marshal]

Okay. Here's my thought. We go with the timeline plan: They meet, they part, they meet again then, as they need to die... how about they're out combing the surf for crabs or something (lol, I don't know) and OH NOES there's a sea snake and it's swide-winding it's way to Momoko. Wyatt sees it, gets her out of the way and yay! She's safe, but he gets bit. He dies (in the water, by drowning, or on the sand, by mercy killing by Momo is she's up for it or maybe something gruesome - blood from the mouth!) and then, if Neeshka-mun is okay with it, Momo and Neeshka can bump into each other and Momo meets her end that way.

That way, Momo and Wyatt set up Capital shenangians by making everyone go "awww" and Neeshka, who did bid for Wyatt's death, still gets to off someone.

Please feel free to edit and/or complete veto this; tis merely an idea.

[cowardfacinghappiness]

Sounds good to me! And if Neeshka-mun was deadset on killing Wyatt we could always switch things around, but I kind of love the thought that Momoko is the go-to mercy killer of the Arena. XD And then their respective escorts seize on them as a possible pandering partnership (maybe try and work with Eliot's escorts to figure out a narrative as well? I dunno.) and try and force them to spend time together?

[the_marshal]

Sweeeet.

I've passed our thoughts along to Neeshka-mun and hopefully we'll be able to work out the deathly bits. In the meantime though, did you wanna thread Wyatt and Momoko meeting up after Lotti, or just handwave it and just skip to the death part once we've got that all settled?

[cowardfacinghappiness]

I'd like to play it, I'm not sure how the Lottie thread's gonna play out just yet so if we did play the aftermath it would need to be pretty vague or we'd wait and backdate it even more. I don't want a big backlog of threads so I'd prefer to go with the vagueness meetup if anything, if that sounds good? And then we die.

[the_marshal]

Sounds good to me. :) Would you like me to start anything/either?
