Hello!
It's summer for me now, and given the state of the world, it's looking like I'm going to have a few months off for the first time in like six years. So! I was thinking it would be fun to do a Hunger Games RP. I already have some ideas on how to start and what the arena will be like, however, I would love some help in planning a few additional things. There are some ideas I have that I would like to run by potential joiners first. So, if you're interested in joining, feel free to post here. Tributes from the various districts will be claimed on a first-come-first-serve basis.
The ideas I would like to float are listed below. None of these are set in stone and I'd be interested to hear what people think of them. Again, these are simply ideas, so any feedback is totally welcome:
More concrete ideas:
- The roleplay will begin when the cannon goes off. I've done HG RPs where we started with the reaping and that was fun for about two seconds, but let's be real, the violence (within the forum rules) is most of the fun. We'll skip all of the preparation and stuff at the capital, which is why I've come up with some of the ideas listed above.
- The theme of the arena will be marshlands/swamp. Picture a vast wetland with tall grasses, bogs, quicksand, alligators, etc. There will also be a building called the "lodge" which is rundown and treacherous in its own right, but which will serve as the base for the dominant alliance. Everyone else will have to brave the elements. I'll be making a map shortly which will help everyone to get a good idea of the layout of the arena. People are also welcome to suggest ideas for different features of the arena!

The ideas I would like to float are listed below. None of these are set in stone and I'd be interested to hear what people think of them. Again, these are simply ideas, so any feedback is totally welcome:
- 1. Each joiner gets two characters. One is a tribute who will finish in the top twelve, one is a tribute who will die relatively early on. They don't have to be roleplayed evenly, one is welcome to be a side character. This will solve the problem that sometimes arises with HG RPs where no one wants to kill off their own characters. Death is pretty important to the plot, and this will give us a good number of characters who can die as the plot demands.
- 2. Early alliances/subplots? Another thing that might be helpful if I come up with a number of alliances from the beginning for people to choose from. That way, characters will know who their friends and enemies are and it will be easier to group them together.
- 3. An element of simulation? This is the idea I'm most iffy on, and that is to introduce an element of randomness into the story. This would only be a small piece because I still want this to feel like a regular RP. However part of the fun of a Hunger Games story is the element of danger and suspense. One way we could introduce that to the roleplay is by putting the top twelve tributes into a random number generator to decide who will finish in what place. The suspenseful part of it will be that I will message the joiners where their OC ends up in the rankings, but no one will know where everyone ends up. In other words, the roleplayer would know that their main will come in 6th place, so they have to figure out a way for their character to die at some point. But no one else (except me because I'll have to do the simulation) will know when all of the other characters are going to die and in what order.
