Ratmas 2014 Day 2: OOC Games Begin!

In less than an hour from now, we'll begin our annual OOCG event by posting the Bloodbath in the 68.5th Hunger Games Arena board. You can find the area descriptions located there, and those will give you some more information about what the different locations are like.

As most of you already know by now, this year's theme is Characters from other canons, so if you're not involved today you can always look for characters that you're familiar with and cheer them on! Or, if that's not enough involvement for you, you can always bet on your favorite tributes.

Each Games day will last approximately an hour, maybe a little more, but the Bloodbath may run a little bit longer than that depending on how quickly things move along. Your Gamemakers (me and Python) ask you to have special patience with us on this day, as running the OOCG is even more stressful than being in them, as we have to keep track of everyone's attacks, locations, fights, damages, and the like. As with the normal Games, anthems will be posted on the Arena board, and will include information on the next day's fights.

Remember, these Games are out-of-character, so don't feel pressured (and please don't) write huge paragraphs for each post if you have a character. Things will move very quickly, and if you want to keep up (and keep your tribute alive) you've got to be quick!

All tributes' damages will be kept up to date HERE.

If you have a tribute, please refrain from asking any non-essential questions, as both me and Python will be hurrying madly to make sure we have everything else done, and any questions will only slow us down. If you can, try to answer your questions yourself by consulting the Hunger Games Rules and your allies and friends.

To all those involved, good luck, and may the odds be ever in your favor! We will begin the Games in about a half an hour, so make sure to be here and be ready!
