89.5th OOCG Basic Information

Hey Everyone! So, in light of the fact that the out-of-character Games run a bit differently from the normal Games, We just want to outline a few differences so nobody gets too confused.

So, you ask, how are the OOCG different from normal?

They take place over one day, not months. This means that everything moves rapidly, posts are short, and a high level of activity is expected all day.

There is no hunger, thirst, or first aid. All you have to do is survive each other... and whatever disasters the Gamemakers have created for you.

There is no sponsorship.

There is no tribute maintenance, because there is no extra healing. The only healing available will be through the end-of-day healing (-1/2 damage, as always) and whatever healing may occur through random event.

Posting order is determined by whoever gets there first. There will be no posting order determination rolls.

In the Bloodbath, you must still quote your posts (with timestamp) like you would in a normal Games. However, the waiting period between Bloodbath posts is 5 minutes, not 10.

There are no muttations. You're fighting amongst yourselves, and that's it. Better get hunting.

There is no armor. It's too difficult to keep track of.

In the Bloodbath, tributes' weapons are not the first items on the list. Instead, they are randomly placed in a spot on the list to encourage tributes to stay in the Bloodbath. All other Bloodbath items are technically useless, but can aid in the fun!

If there is anything we have forgotten, please feel free to let us know and we will add it to this list promptly. 

May the odds be ever in your favor!

Special shout out to knuckles for putting this together last year!
