Proposal: Hunger Games: Pro League

[Nepos]

So, I've tried various Hunger Games RPs in the past, and not many of them have worked. However, I think that on this forum I might have success. Depending on how much support I get for it here, I'll either do the full-blown games here or do a collaborative one with other RPing forums.

If you are unfamiliar with the Hunger Games it is an event where men and women fight to the death in a huge arena with whatever weapons nature provides for them. There are two 'tributes' a man and a woman, from each of the Twelve Districts.

This RP has a slight twist, however. Each tribute is an experienced fighter, either a victor from a previous Games or trained, from either the Colleges (now ubiquitous to every District) or from the Capitol's regular gladiatorial combat.

Forum and sub-fora

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

This depends on how many people I get for the RP.

Main Forum: This is where the threads for each tribute goes up (therefore 24 threads)

The Colisseum: Where players could spar and RP in the time between games.

Chat/OOC: This is where RPers can talk and ask questions

The Capitol: This is where outsiders to the RP can bet Capitol Dollars on the results, and, if they can afford it, send in capsules to the tributes. This is also a Chat forum for the non-RPers.

If there is not much support for the RP there would just be one forum for the RPing threads

Rules:

The basic rules of the RP would apply here i.e. no godmodding or flaming.

Also, the secrecy of the games is important, so I would ban tributes from looking at each other's threads or into the Capitol sub-forum

Sounds interesting.

This will not work.

So it seems players are locked into rp in one thread, can't look at others, and all but one/two lose their characters each time? Then what after the games? I don't see this working very well.

Yes, this part of the RP relies on trust, and if I do catch someone doing it they will be punished.

True, this RP isn't particularly progressive, but you can re-use your character if you want, and also participate in Capitol events. There is also the posibility of a gladiatorial combat coming from this and other aspects

Which could be circumvented as someone could view one of the other threads as a guest and get around being detected entirely in the worst case. But it really limits the players in the game if they can't post or see others threads. If people used ooc in-game of course, a penalty would be expected...but what if they wanted to form an alliance with another player like what occurs in the games?

So what you are saying is after the games it either goes into a gladiatorial combat arc until the next games, with a few events. Basically constant fighting for the most part?

Alliances could be pre-arranged if they wanted to occur. Also if you ran into a player you would go into their thread to fight or negotiate. If an Alliance was made it would all be in the same thread.

Yes, there could be arcs and maybe tournaments to see who would be the tribute for the next games. Interraction in forms of social, training and combat would occur.

Actual roleplaying tends to work better when players are in more natural situations where they socialize, not where they kill each other in less than three very non-descript sentences.

If this can be organized, I'd like to play.
