Coming Soon: Nexus Hunger Games

[labrathor]

Just for fun, every so often, we like to run a non-canon Hunger Games simulator with Nexus characters in the community Discord and see who wins. Participation is not mandatory; all Tributes will be accepted on a volunteer basis only. If you have a Nexus character you would like to submit for the games, please list them here in the comments, and if you have a (color) icon you'd like to use to represent them, please provide that also. We will accept up to two characters per player, though both may not necessarily be used, depending on how many interested players there are.

Signups will close at the end of September to allow me to organize and set up the simulator. Date for actual games To Be Determined; I am tentatively leaning toward a Saturday around noon EDT (GMT-4). If this does not work for you, please let me know. We may not be able to make schedules match up for everyone, but we will do our best to allow the most people to watch.

The games will be run in the #nexus-ooc channel. I am looking forward to seeing what our roster is this time!

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask!


Edit: Signups are now CLOSED. Hunger Games are tentatively scheduled for October 10 at the aforementioned time. This is open to change if necessary, so if this does not work for you, please let me know.

One of these days Jim will make it. I have to believe!

[multiversal_science]

If it comes to a second, I might as well give Liv a chance

[pirateangelbaby]

Oh dear. She would love to be the top dog in this, wouldn't she?

[boldygoing]

We live in hope. Win it for all Jims everywhere!

[pirateangelbaby]

I can't let a Hunger Games go by without throwing Thor in, obviously.

[risenintothevoid]

Aegis-9 will be my second choice, if it comes to that. Let's hope she does better than Blaze. ;)

[bloodysacrifice]

I can't resist putting Moloch in.

[iamjustvisiting]

And why not Tommy as a second. Stir it up a bit this time.

Tea Entry 1

[mayfairmonster]

Throwing in Dorian with this icon to prove, once again, that immortality isn't super helpful in the Games!

Tea Entry 2

[knightgallant]

And this guy!

Quick edit to specify that in the case of there being one entry per player, I would like Galahad to please be my main entry. Thank you!

[silverseamariner]

The Mariner throws her feathered hat into the ring.

[hybriddino]

And for my second choice, the Indoraptor rides again.

[callmeles]

Piper will volunteer. She guesses.

[lesandra]

And for a second choice, I'll toss Les in as well.

Choice #1

[sweetcandygirl]

Harley is so in. Have mallet will compete!

Choice #2

[thewiselion]

And just for funzies...

Aslan is my second choice

[debonairsharpshooter]

I offer Misfire as tribute! I pray he dies hilariously.

[rekindledtitan]

As is right and proper, my first-choice tribute will be Ghost.

[conjuredskies]

And if we're in need of extras, Felix will be second choice. He better pray to Hircine!

[sohoangel]

Toss in this angel, please, with the above icon to make it extra ridiculous when he falls into the lake and drowns or whatever.

I also toss in Prometheus if you need extras.

[eumenis]

Let's see how Furiosa does this time!

[tr1ckortreat]

Loki is here to triumph. Gold chariot or not.

[stark_ravingmad]

Tony wants in. Hopefully he can survive.

[herewolf]

Let's toss Matthew in, because he's new and fresh.

[mammothcheese]

How about Thiirien? Both her and Katniss favor the bow.

[making_sacrifices]

Throwing Allura in this time. :D

[lionelsmith]

And Loki from Jakub Ćwiek's novels as my second choice, if there's that. :D

[onward_and_upward]

Astro is up for the challenge!

[legendary_titan]

My second will be Saint-14!

[itmeanstruth]

Count Minoru in?

Hey, for us complete and total newbies, what does this actually entail? Also, how do you find this channel on Discord? (Aside from a few private D&D groups, I’ve never really used the platform before. I am lost.)

[labrathor]

Our Discord comm is invite only; check your DMs, you should have a message from one of our other mods with the link.

The simulator is a browser-based random scenario generator that allows us to plug in custom Tributes instead of using the canon Hunger Games ones. It does not take IC personalities or skills into account, just pits them against one another until there's only one left. The only thing participating players need to do is provide the name and icon, and then sit back and watch the results which I will post in the above mentioned Discord channel, one in-game day at a time, with space for audience commentary in between. It can be fun to see what RNG trends present themselves (we have had rounds where everyone was constantly gifted mysterious hatchets, for example) and work out little silly headcanons about why things are happening, and of course cheer for our own characters or our friends. Once you're in the Discord server, I can link you to one of our last games, and you can see for yourself how they usually go.

[itmeanstruth]

Ok, yes. This sounds awesome. Count me in!!

[soundwave_ascendant]

This is Valiska/Kiri - I just happen to not be in Ravage's journal.

[Valiska covers the ears, eyes, and telepathy of the muse. Firmly.]

Put Ravage in.

[labrathor]

Will do! Do you have a preferred icon to use? The more colorful, the better, as dead Tributes will have their icons changed to black-and-white, and it makes it easier to tell who’s dead at a glance. The icons with keywords “do not pet cat” or “warned you” would be my choice.

[soundwave_ascendant]

Warned You seems perfect.

[gentle_puck]

Let's do this thing!

[labrathor]

Excellent. Is there a color icon you'd prefer? The default icon is the most saturated, but if you have another color icon you'd rather use, we might be able to make it work instead.

[gentle_puck]

Whichever one you think will work best is fine with me. :3
