Arena Update.

Team
All right guys, are you ready for some blood sport? On Saturday, each Tribute will receive a parachute challenging them to participate in a little game. Tributes who opt in will be summoned to the Cornucopia on Tuesday morning to participate in a game of capture the flag… of sorts. Those who choose to participate will be tasked with stealing the District patches off of the jackets of their opponents. The Tribute(s) who collects one of each (or whoever has the most at sunset) will earn a very big prize: They will be removed from the death roll until the final round.

Those who choose to participate will face down some steep odds, however. There is a 30% chance of death (no buy-outs), 30% chance of injury (can be treated with medical kits), 30% chance of escaping unharmed and with a delightful prize: A backpack containing one week of food and water, clean underwear, and a .38 colt revolver and one box of bullets.

This game is meant to be bloody. It's meant to spur on some tensions. And those who don't choose to participate may still find themselves being stalked and hunted by other Tributes. That's just how the cookie crumbles sometimes. Even when you choose not to play the game, you may just find you've been dragged in anyway. No one is safe when the prize is that high.

And, if that’s not enough to get you to join in the fun and games, Tributes are encouraged to work together with members of their own Districts to accomplish the goal. If a group from the same District works together and is rolled to win, all members of the team will be removed from the death roll until the final round and all members of their District will be immune from death next week. This only applies to Tributes who work with members of their own District as a team. People who work solo or with other Districts will not spare the lives of their District-mates next week.

In order to participate in this event, you must sign up by Monday, 16 February, 2015 at 11:59pm Eastern Time. The winner will be rolled and announced on Tuesday morning, when the log will go live.  If you choose to work as a team, please indicate who will be on your team in that thread.

Hail Storm
Monday afternoon starts out peaceful and sunny, with the first round of parachutes arriving early in the day. However, the sky soon turns black and over the course of about ten minutes, the sky opens up and begins spewing sleet onto the Arena. The storm sustains, then intensifies over several hours, eventually dumping hailstones larger than baseballs and weighing over three pounds. These suckers can and will do serious damage to anyone who doesn’t find shelter right away. The storm doesn’t let up until well after sunset... just in time for Tuesday's festivities!


Nessie
You’ll never find a Nessie in the zoo, but you might find one in the pond this week. You can also find a few of them in the lake. These shy, gentle creatures can be heard crying and singing their beautiful haunting songs all night every night for the rest of the Arena. But don't mistake them as harmless sea beasts. Docile as they are, they are large and dangerous, and they will attack anyone foolish enough to try hunting them.

Sponsorship Program

By our [always accurate and never at all leaked from inside sources] calculations, the above tributes are presently at the most risk of death.

Any and all interested sponsors, please submit your payment of 400 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 program 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!

And as an additional reminder, you may only spend credits which were earned before January 1st, 2015 (aka LAST activity cycle!) Those characters who were accepted after January 1st have 100 default credits to spend however they like!

And then using up the rest of Clara's 45 credits and using 35 of Darcy's credits to buy Aldo Raine a parka and a folding knife with a note that says "Welcome to District 10. Good luck. - Clara Murphy"

[sizeofyourbaggage]

Buying the camping stove + fuel and seasonings for Sam Wilson!

685-120 = 565 credits left

[infinitemayonnaise]

After some ridiculous Plurk joking, I'm buying some Plain Sugar Donuts x3 for Haruto with Nitou's points. At 40 points a piece, that's 120 points total. 230-120=110 left.

The donuts aren't from Nitou himself, but ardent fans. The donuts are all also going to be signed "<3 Nitou," because those ardent fans are terrible, terrible shippers.

Re: Sponsorship Program

[whatisay]

Buying out Dorian Pavus and Beth Greene with Venus' credits, leaving her with 400.

Buying Nick (L4D2) condoms, chocolate sauce and magazines, but not the scotch. Note says: "No scotch. Come back here a winner and I'll buy you enough to take a bath in. -JC4"

Buying the remaining D7ers (Beth, Dorian, Nick, Loki, Ruffnut, Lee) 2 days of food each for 240 credits. Notes for each:

Beth: "Stop fucking sharing. -JC4"
Dorian: "I'll add 'pissing off wildlife' to your list of talents. -JC4"
Nick: "Looking forward to seeing you use that gun instead of just snuggling it like the girlfriend you don't have. -JC4"
Ruffnut: "You'll get roman candles when I'm certain you won't blow your own hand off. -JC4"
Lee: "Nice job lasting the first week. How about you do some killing now? -JC4"
Loki: "I am not overwhelmed by your divine powers yet. -JC4"

This is all actually coming from Dorian's account (with permission), leaving him with 0 and using the last 60 of Jason's credits.

[wizardplease]

Continuing with the Being Ridiculous, I'm spending 80 points to buy two boxes of donuts for Haruto. They are also from shippers, who have also signed them "<3 Nitou".

525 - 80 = 445 points left!

Arena Plotting

Nick, Thor and Dave

[streetsmarts]

Alright so Nick got himself a gun thanks to his tiger hunting skills. I am super down for having him shoot people because he's not a nice person. If you need someone to die SIGN ME UP.

Thor is also up for killing people, I could use more interactions with him since it's been kind of a slow burn so far.

Dave I've been waffling over doing a post with him for about a week but I will likely do a various snowcapades log within the next few days. I am still really enamored with the idea of someone stabbing him and failing to do damage because of the layers he's wearing.

Capture The Patch Sign-Ups

Please reply here if you'd like to participate in the capture the patch game! If you are participating as a team, please indicate who you are working with (and please indicate which district you are in!)

You have until 11:59pm Eastern time on Monday to sign-up to participate in the game. Those who have signed up will be rolled with the following odds: 30% chance of death (no buy out), 30% chance of injury (can be treated with medical supplies), 30% chance of walking away relatively unharmed with a backpack of supplies!

One participating player or team will be chosen to win. The winner(s) will be removed from the death roll until the final round, and if a team wins, all members of their district will be removed from next week's death roll.
