96th Operation Bow Out

If a tribute drops out for any reason prior to the beginning of the games (at least 1 week before the bloodbath - to allow the newly reaped to participate in pre-games events), there will be a new reaping to replace the character. If a tribute does not wish to go far in the Games, cannot win, or something comes up and a tribute suddenly wants to drop from the Games partway through, they will be allowed to choose one of the following ways their character will die for the 96th Hunger Games:

1. Surprise RE (to be expanded upon once it is triggered). Hint: fix the clouds.
2. Since the beginning of their time spent in the arena, the tribute will have been developing sickness due to the cold. On the day the tribute bows out, they will succumb to a combo of hypothermia, frostbite, and sinus infection despite their best efforts.
3. Tributes who have a mount may choose a “mount betrayal death.” Have you been treating your Bilzzard Fowl poorly or is your Dire Polar Bear feeling peckish? Mounts may attack and kill/eat their tribute!
4. As of the top twelve, all tributes left who cannot win or who have chosen Operation Bow Out will perish in an avalanche. The specifics on how they die can be left up to the player, or can be rolled based on a predetermined set of outcomes.
5. If a tribute does not like any of the options available, they can determine themselves how their character dies. This must be discussed with Gamemakers first.

Tributes who have expressed no interest or capability of winning will NOT be permitted to enter the top eight / 1v1 portion of these games.

Table for Avalanche Rolls:
roll=1-30

1-5: Your tribute is buried by the snow before they know it’s coming. Death comes quickly, and easily. Pain is minimal. It’s as if they fell asleep.
6-10: The snow plows a pine tree over your tribute, a limb skewering them through the chest as they continue to tumble down.
11-15: Your tribute attempts to outrun the avalanche and is fairly successful until they step into a hole and break their leg, and are forced to watch as the snow descends upon them.
16-20: Your tribute is trapped somewhere beneath the snow in a newly-formed cavern with no way out. Every few seconds, the cavern fills with more snow, and soon it will bury them.
21-25: Your tribute makes it to the bottom of the avalanche and then, in a show of truly bad luck, falls through the thin ice at the bottom and freezes to death in the water below the surface.
26-29: Your tribute was at the very top and heard the very first disturbance of the snow as it started to fall. Rather than trying and failing to run, your tribute accepts what it is and lets the snow overtake them.
30: Your tribute contributes to the avalanche’s occurrence, either by clapping their hands or shouting or somehow setting off some sort of explosion. They are killed in the process.
