I will open the first Hunger Game today (in about 2-4 hours). It will be a testing game as it will surely have some bugs that will need to be fixed.
The game's rules can be found at: http://www.tengaged.com/online-hunger-games
Thanks to LoganWorm and WillyEx for the original idea, many things are left out from the initial concepts but surely I will be updating the game mechanics and features with your suggestions and new ideas.
Thanks also to all of you who sent me or posted new ideas for the game.
Initially there will be only one game open at a time, although it may soon change to 2 games opened at the same time. Let's see how it goes as I will need first to adjust many parameters (health decay, attack health, fight experience and weapons power, arrows, etc) and see how long does it take for the game to finish. Initially settings are conservative so that it may last a big longer than next games.
Participants of the first game, please post your suggestions. Also please note that as it's a test I may pause the game if a bug is found and/or restart it if it collapses :)
Few things changed from Drench rules:
- Receive Sponsorships from players outside the Hunger Games is now limited to 5 sponsorships per game (not per player)
- Fight experience (number of fights with different participants) has more weight in computing final score
Questions:
- Will there be districts?
Not for the firsts games. I will be using the Frats but it's not decided yet how it will be.
- One participant in more than 1 fight at the same time?
No, you can only be in one fight at the same time.
- Does health decreases during the fight?
Yes, it decreases until you finish your minigame. So do it as fast as possible to do not lose health.
- Are players preselected in first test game?
No, enrollment as usual. TIP Do a copy paste in the welcome message to speed up your enrollment.
- How do you think Health will decay?
On normal mode and without any health decrease due to other actions, initial parameters are lowered (to allow testing), now it's set to 30% per 24 hours. There're some moments that this is doubled (but lasts only few hours)
- How long are we gonna be able to respond to the attacker?
You have a maximum of 8 hours to do your minigame or runaway. During these 8 hours you will lose health. If you don't do the minigame then the fight is won by the other.
