The First Ever YWS Hunger Games

LadySpark · 2014-05-19T13:14:43Z

http://s30.postimg.org/fa52f4p5t/Hunger_Games.jpg Greetings, Panem! This is the announcement for the first ever YWS Hunger Games. We will be having our very own Hunger Games June 2nd- June 8th . How will this work, you ask? Well, very simply. Everyone who wants to participate will sign up here. (The deadline for signing up will be June 2nd, but if you want to have a chance to be a tribute, you will have to join before May 30th. ) There are four districts, one of which you will be sorted into. While there, you will get the opportunity to select your district's name and mascot. Then, on May the 31st four tributes will be randomly selected from each district. Maybe it'll be you, but maybe not. If it's not, have no fear! While the tributes from each district are competing for their lives, we'll have plenty of fun events for you to participate in. If it is you, prepare for the most exciting week of your lives. You will go head to head in battles against other tributes to see who the odds really favor. Not only will the districts be participating in games of their own, they'll also be supporting the tributes. Rooting for the on the side lines, offering help on their submissions for each writing challenge...It's all part of being a good support team! Here's how it will work- First Half The Blood Bath- All of the tributes from each district will participate in a writing challenge. They'll each be scored with a 0 being the lowest and the 10 being the highest. From then on, the four tributes will be split into two teams within the districts. The winners will be announced the same day. Day One- Team One from each district will take their tribute with the highest score and go head-to-head against other high scorers in another challenge. The top two will go on, while the rest get the terribly hated cannon. Day Two- The lower scorer from team one will battle it out against the other low scorers. The top two will move on, while the rest rejoin their district. Second Half Day Three- The other two tributes (team two) will battle it out just as team one did. First the high scorers will go head to head in a challenge, with only two tributes reigning victorious. Day Four- The lowest scorer from each district will enter the Arena again to compete against other low scorers in a challenge. The top two pass, the rest are out. Day Five- Today will be a fun day in which all the tributes (even the ones that have previously received the cannon) can write whatever they want. Only one winner will be announced, but they will not be the winner of the Hunger Games. This is to give all the tributes a rest. The Final Day The last day, all the top scorers will come together for one more challenge. The one who achieves the highest score will win and come home a victor. They'll earn a place in YWS' Victor's Village and earn a bunch of fun rewards and prizes. If the two top scorers are from the same district, they both become a Victor. For more information about what the challenges are, what events will be taking place for the Capitol, check out the calender of events, here. More information will be added the closer we are to the Hunger Games beginning. All through the week there will be guest judges selected, parachutes dropped in the clubs (bought by the generous Districts), traps and other fun things! So here's the run down. When it is - June 2nd- June 8th. The deadline for signing up -June 2nd. The deadline for signing up with the opportunity to be chosen as a tribute -May 30th. If you have any questions, feel free to ask below, and may the odds be ever in your favor.

Ready for the reaping!

But she wondered why beautiful things had to be wrapped up with evil history. Or was it the other way around? Maybe evil history made it necessary to build beautiful things, to mask the darker aspects.

This sounds ideal for Fiery to make a comeback.. but can two people be counted as one tribute, should we be chosen?

But I hope you guys have fun with it, and may the odds be ever in your favor!

hey, sign me up! I'm all in!

Millions of miles from home
In the darkness before the dawn
In the swirling of this storm
When I'm rolling with the thunder
But bleed from thorns
Leave a light, a light on.
