Mirror, Mirror: The 148th Annual Hunger Games

"It's a damn shame. They could've done so much, they could've been so much. But instead of growing and living and learning, they were sacrificed to feed the beast." Closed SYOT. Status: Day 8.

2. Sponsoring

Hey guys! The reapings for Four are taking a little longer then I expected, but hopefully they'll come out today or tomorrow. In the meanwhile, I've set up a sponsor system!

For every tribute you submit, you receive 20 points. This may seem low, but you'll get one point every time you comment five times in a row, on five different chapters, and have the comments be actual criticism, not just "good." The arena I've chosen is non-hospitable, so things should be relatively cheap. However, every day, the cost of each item goes up one point.

On day one, a meal that would last the tribute a day if they ate three times a day, or three days if they ate once a day is eight points. PM me and tell me whether you want it to last three days or one day. If it lasts three days, you will be spending points better, but your tribute will become weaker. It'll go up by a point every day, but if you purchase a meal on day one and have it last until day three, you won't need to pay extra.

A luxury item, like tissues or face paint, is one point. This alone stays one point, because a tissue won't become any more significant on day 8 then it is on day 1. So, you can send lots of luxury items.

Weapons are a bit more complicated. A sharp stick is three points, but a trident is twenty. I can't list every example, but just pm me with the weapon, and I'll tell you the cost. It'll go up by one every day, so on day 10, for example, a trident would be thirty points. I anticipate that none of you will buy tridents. Prices last until midnight. So you can send a sharp stick on day one, at 11:59 pm, and it'll still be three points instead of four.

I don't want to list everything, so just PM with the item, and I'll tell you the cost. Just to give you some idea of possible costs, an electric tent with heating is twenty points on day one, and matches are two points (because the arena is not flammable.)

Thanks!
