3. Point System

Points system -

Points are tangible things, which can be used to help your tribute out during the games. If used correctly, points can bring your tribute to victory, or to a sad death upon which you caused. Best if used wisely.

Ways to earn points -

You can earn points through a couple of different ways, and each way has its own corresponding point value. However, some ways are only valid if you answer right.

Submitting a tribute (100 pts.); this is the starting number of points you have, once a tribute is submitted. *Note, does not duplicated if 2 or more tributes are submitted.

Reviewing a posted chapter (25 pts.); once you have reviewed a chapter, you get 25 points.

Answering a 'Bonus' question (150 pts.); these questions called 'Bonus' questions will pop up randomly throughout the Fanfic. The first one to answer these questions, and have the correct answer, gets 150 pts.

Killing another tribute (5 pts.); in this Fanfic, if your tribute kills another tribute, you get 5 points.

Point items -

So once you have these points, you're probably thinking "Now what do I do with them?" Good question! These points can be used to buy item for your tribute in the Games. These items can only be bought with points, and AFTER the Blood-bath chapters.

Keeping track of these points -

These points are obtained and gained through various ways, but how do you keep track of them? At the end of each chapter I will post the point totals for each author/tribute pairing. So don't worry about all that Math! I'll do it for you.

Point items list -

Here's lists of items that you can buy with your obtained points. Only the items off these lists can you buy, so no instituting your own items. Each item is in its own category.

Loaf of District bread – 45 points

Obtaining point items -

Once you have made up your mind about, what you are going to send to your tribute, you have to get it to them. With your choice in mind PM me the item name, the quantity, and the price. The tribute will receive your gift within the next one or two chapters.

Example of Point Item order;

The One Who Got Away From You:

Name: Iron Sword

Quantity: 1

Price: 100 points

For two or more items do the same thing, just put the second order underneath the previous one.

'Bonus' Question: How old was I, when my Dad introduced me to gaming?

Thank you for all those early participators! However, Em74 earned the 150 points with the correct answer of 'age 8'.
