gameannouncerAt 8 in the morning after the first week of training, a projection is made onto the wall opposite each tribute's bed and a crisp image can be seen. She talks with an interesting accent and her voice is way too chipper for that time in the morning but she has something important to tell everyone.
[note: the below numbers were created using RNG]
Code
Each tribute will now find a small monitor the size of a standard mobile phone beside their bed. There is a note that they are welcome to keep this on them at all times. When the right time comes, the monitor will beep and show another tribute's name. They can then either select "yes" to watch that tribute or "no" to dismiss and go back to what they were doing. Whether they elect to watch the other tribute or not will have no impact on their own scores.
[Opt in Scenario]
Each tribute will have a designated time during the day that their prep team will lead them to a special room. The tribute will be told that in that room there is something special for them from home and they can choose to go in or they can walk away. If they choose to walk away, they don't have a second chance to come back later. Astute tributes will notice a plaque on the door with the letters "VR". As soon as any tribute walks in, all the other tributes have the chance to watch on their own monitors the outcome of the scenario.
(If there is no comment below for the tribute by the 24th, we'll assume the tribute has opted out).
If you choose to opt in then the following occurs:
As you walk into the room, you will find yourself back in your home world in your favourite place. This can be anywhere, such as your home or your favourite restaurant or beach etc. The room is able to generate anything. You venture further and you find yourself facing somebody special from home. Somebody that you miss or somebody that you have one last thing that you have to say to them before you enter the arena. If that special person is somebody that came with you to the arena, they can still appear in this room.
You try to speak to them but they don't respond. You try again...and then you realize that there is something strange about this person.
A moment later, you find that the other person has now picked up a weapon from close by. This is a non projectile weapon, a sword or knife that they would physically need to come near you to fight with. In your hand, you now find yourself holding a gun.
What will be your decision?
There are three outcomes for this opt in:
Outcome 1 - They offensively take the holographic image's life.
As you have given up everything in order to win the arena, you will be given a bonus item in your backpack when you enter. This will be a very unique and special item that may save your life. You will also be given a small box containing something special from home that will be in your possession only until just before you enter the arena.
There will be an RNG of [4-6] added to your final tribute score.
Outcome 2 - They defensively take the holographic image's life.
You don't mean to, but to save your own life, you shoot. Since you do have a sense of self preservation and a deep down desire to win the arena, you will be given a bonus item in your backpack when you enter the arena. This will be the same item as outcome 1 but you will not be given the special gift from home.
There will be an RNG of [1-3] added to your final tribute score.
Outcome 3 - They are unable to bring themselves to do anything and end up taking a fatal blow from the holographic image.
Since this is all virtual reality, nothing bad happens to the tribute. The worst that will happen is the fear from seeing a weapon being plunged into their bodies. The image then fades and all that's left is a box containing a treasure from home. They will have this treasure until just before entering the arena.
There will be an RNG of [1-3] deducted from your final tribute score.
Tributes who don't participate will have an RNG of [1-3] deducted from the final tribute score for not performing for the game masters.
[To opt in, please reply to the mod top level below in regards to which outcome in the subject line. If you would like, you can also write up exactly what happens in the VR room. Having this written up can help with more CR dev if you want to thread reactions etc but is not a requirement for opt in.
Please create your own top levels for CR and interactions as to what happens once a tribute leaves their own VR experience. These top levels can occur anywhere in the pre-arena facility and can also be in the VR area if you would like.]
I hope that all of you have been training hard and resting up for the big event that is to be coming up shortly! As you all should know... soon, we will be announcing tribute rankings to the public. These ranks should be very important to each of you as they may very well decide your your chances of survival in the arena. Our sponsors will only support the highly ranked tributes after all!
Below, you will see the initial tribute rankings. These are only made available to yourselves based on your current activity thus far. The game makers would like to see all of you in action one more time and give you one more chance to improve your score!
