Citizens of ATRL, the time has come for our 3nd Hunger Games.
Years ago, the members of ATRL rose up to revolt and fight the mods in an epic battle on the plains of SYG and NHB that resulted in warning points, bans, and even permabans. To remind the ATRL users of our place and prevent future uprising, our mods created the ATRL Hunger Games. Each year, the Mods take two people from each district and force them to battle each other to death until only one member is left alive.
The premise:
24 tributes enter the arena and form alliances. Alliances each have a private forum to discuss their Night plans. Each night, tributes PM me their actions (either hunting a specific tribute, or hiding somewhere in the arena). Based off their actions, tributes are either injured, killed, or safe. The game continues until only ONE tribute is left standing.
The RULES (adapted from Raguabros' OP)
Rules. PLEASE READ
1. Districts are randomly assigned (and technically, mean nothing - just thematic. You can choose to align yourself with your district partner, but it's not required).
2. This year, the Arena is pop girl themed. As always, the ATRL Arena is divided in six sections - Beyonce's Bayou, Gaga's Glacier, Britney's Beach, Rihanna's Ravine, Katy's Knoll, and P!nk's Praries... (more info on these sections later!
3. NEW THIS YEAR: We no longer play in day periods and then night periods. After hosting last time, it became apparent that the day periods were pretty flawed, and they only ever saw action once. Due to this, I'm doing away with day and night periods and instead just having Night 1, Night 2, etc... on which hunting will take place. The only exception is when special things like Feasts occur.
4. Nights: Killing or Hiding
48 (two days in real time) hours will be given to nighttime (or less if all actions are submitted sooner). At night, the tributes have two options: hunt another tribute OR hide. If you don't send a night action, you will die.
- HUNT
If you want to hunt and kill a tribute, then PM me the name of the tribute you want to hunt and kill & the area of the arena you wish to hunt.
If that tribute is hiding in your selected area, then your odds of killing are 25%, injuring 25% or missing your mark 50% (randomized and picked by the computer)
If that tribute is hunting in your selected area, then your odds of killing are 50% and injuring 50%. (randomized and picked by computer)
If a player has 3 injuries, then he will die upon receiving the 4th.
- HIDE
Tributes can hide in any given area in the arena.
If tributes choose to hide at night, they must PM me the word HIDE and the area they wish to hide.
Tributes cannot hide for more than 2 consecutive nights. (ex: Tributes can hide up to twice in a row, but on the 3rd night, they must attempt to kill. On night 4 they can go back to hiding.)
Tributes that hide will not be able to defend themselves from attacks at night but do have a high probability of escape (see hunt and kill above)
4. Additional Rules:
Alliances
If you wish to make an alliance with other tributes, you must ask them to join you in the public forum. If they accept, they will be given a password with which they can access a private forum only available for those in the alliance.
Tributes cannot speak to other tributes through PM. All discussion must occur in this thread, OR on the private forums. Please respect the no PMing rule, as it keep things fair and really fun at the end of the game when we can open up the private forums and expose what everyone was doing!
You may form an alliance with any tribute you like – even if they are not from your district.
All alliances are informal (ie. if you think it helps your game, you can join an alliance and plan to do one thing, but secretly act on your own).
If you DIE do not reveal the name of your killer to anyone.
If you're banned from ATRL, you will DIE.
Be careful where you choose to hide or hunt, for surprises may lurk in the zones at night.
The time has come for our 3rd Hunger Games. If you are not familiar with the original game, I HIGHLY reccomend taking a peek at Raguabros' 1st Hunger Games. And don't worry, I have spoken with him and have his permission to host the new editions. You can find the original Games here:

The 2nd Annual Hunger Games, which were won by Olly, can be viewed here:

Again, I will say that I strongly recommend you click those links and familiarize yourself with the Games. The rules may seem daunting (they really aren't) and I know you will all wrap your head around them soon.
We now ask for 24 brave Tributes to step forward and volunteer for our 2nd ATRL Hunger Games!.

We only can go to 24, nothing past that. Once we reach 24, I will provide more information about the 6 sections of the arena, and also about how to make alliances. At that point, districts will be randomly assigned and the games will begin!
Who's ready?
...and oh yes,
MAY THE ODDS BE EVER IN YOUR FAVOUR!
