A Zealot Slave Co. Project
Some people are confused because of how administrators will forcekill certain players near the end of the game. We will kill people when the round is about to end and there are people who are refusing to fight. For example, if two people are fighting to the death, and another is hiding on an island, far away, we would forcekill the person hiding to ensure that there is a winner when the round ends.
It's basically a mechanic that means that if the round starts running out of time, players who try to hide will be killed. Usually the round ends before the timer runs out, though.
Cornucopia
You and 23 other brave contestants shall be placed on pedestals in a circle, surrounding a pile of items, weapons, or clothing. After 30 seconds, you will be released. This gives you time to decide who is friend or foe. The supplies in the center is very valuable to you, at at such an early stage in the event it's value is even higher. You could try getting as much of it as you can, or sprinting for the hills. Whatever you decide, many other contestants are thinking the same thing. Be careful.
Hunger
As the games take place over a course of multiple days, or even weeks, and involve lots of strenuous activity, you will no doubt become hungry. Unless you want to starve and be forgotten as just another tribute, you need to eat. You will find food all over the island, bread, fruit, or berries. Some food is poisonous though. Let's talk about that.
Poison
Not everything you eat is safe. None of the poison is enough to kill you completely, (That wouldn't be a very interesting game for the citizens.) you will have an opportunity to test each wild fruit or vegetable you find. You could even trick the other contestants into eating the poisonous food, weakening or killing them without even moving.
Alliances
Team up! Work together! Make a good show. You are in these games to survive, and it is your civic duty to the capitol to do so. Talk to a friend and convince them to work with you, then kill the other contestants who are alone. The options are endless. Although, only one person can prevail. Each of your teammates will have to go at some point if you plan on surviving this. Backstab them. Kill them when they least expect it. Make a good show for the citizens. It was them or you.
Victor
Once every other tribute has fallen, by your hand or not, you are the victor. You will be bathed in riches and adored by the citizens. You will also even get the opportunity to wait out the next Hunger Games in the VIP Capital Hovercraft.
Arena
The Arena that the 43rd Annual Hunger Games will take place in is an abandoned African Archipelago. There are still structures on the island from the natives, but the Gamemakers will add in methods of transportation among the island and add food and weapons alongside the native buildings. Since the games are growing closer, these are some images of the incomplete Arena in order to give you a good idea of what you will be facing. Please keep in mind, the entire arena is a work in progress.
An overview of the Arena:
The Cornucupia, where the games begin.
Of course, a Gamemaker's Quarters will have to be constructed on the Island.
The inside will be filled with controls, to make sure the games are entertaining for the citizens.
One of the native villages, prepared for the Games.
Unfortunately, not all buildings are in their prime condition. Be careful.
