Ok so why aren’t you guys the GM’s again?

I have been a GM but kind of left because I was inactive over holidays, and new games started without me. (Which I am fine with)

I have wanted to both play and be a gm…

Ooh! There could be some arena hack/rule where you automatically get however many Breaths the person you just killed had. 
 

And the Gamemakers are all Returned, so the interactions could be even more fun.

Congratulations you guys just planned our next hunger games

(joking probably because I still think there’s a list)

I finally got a copy of the first actual Hunger Games book from library today! I'm finally gonna read it and educate myself on how all this is meant to work lol

all of the other books I want to read have been unavailable for months and I'm only a little bit bitter about it

[Lord Spirit he/him]

Hunger games is a really good, the sequels are pretty good for sequels. 

[Edema Rue she/her]

For obvious reasons this is probably bad, but…

I really don’t like the hunger games. I feel like the story just had so much potential that got dragged through the mud in the way Suzanne Collins did it. But it is what it is, and it’s cool that so many people know it.

Huh, well I guess we'll see if I like it or not lol

Some statistics on the games. The twinborn games ran for 17 days. The Stormlit games ran for 12 days. The threnody games lasted 22 days. The Cytoverse game were days 41 long. The smedry games were 82 days long. And the Cosmere games have been going for 71 days. 
I’m getting bored. Die already. 

Not trying to force anything, enjoy your summer, just know that the games have been going for a while

My thoughts exactly.

Sorry I haven’t been pushing more deaths, my summer and my head have been crazy recently, but I’m working on it…soon. It’s coming soon.

I don’t want to make people feel like they need to be on the shard constantly to keep their character alive, but also, the entire point of the hunger games is death, so keeping characters alive isn’t really the point. You can always make a new one.

Hey, in our defense, we've got a lot more players and a lot more complicated arena's since Twinborn. There was no backstory or gm drama in Twinborn, so little to no plot. I think it's natural for them to get longer as the rp grows and get's more nuanced. 

Plus, the 'middle' of the rp has always been the slowest part, so it feels natural. I personally don't mind the slowness, it's certainly easier for to keep up with . Maybe it's just me, but I feel like shard Rp's are faster these days. I hate to 'back in my day' everybody, but I feel like Rp's here used to be slower. What I'm trying to say is, the current rate for Cosmere hg feels normal to me.

I would argue it's about survival . . . hence your motivation is to stay alive so there's competition. But I digress.

That’s fair, Slow RPing is good. But to be fair, threnody had 7 more tributes and 50 more pages in 1/3 the time. 
I worded the death part poorly. I meant that the point of this RP is for almost everyone to die, and I just feel like people sometimes forget that and are very hesitant to kill or be killed, which extends the games. I’m not saying that character development is bad, just that it makes it take longer to come to the same ending (mostly). I’m perfectly fine with slow RP’s, I just want some action when posts get made, instead of sometimes long dialogue. 
 

(I’m also just bored after dying a while ago and not having a new games to join, I don’t mean to be disrespectful in any way. I think the characters and storylines are great! )

Don't worry, my monster is slowly going completely insane.

Ah, gotchya. I'll admit though, as a writer I prefer writing dialogue to action scenes, so one again I don't mind it. I get where you're coming from though.

I hear you, I hear you. If you get really desperate you can play a monster (which would help in multiple ways, you get to RP and tributes die) but my hope is to have it done around August 15th. That’s a hope, but as soon as @LightRinger does a thang I’ll start doing MURDER   

[Dragonheir he/him]

I've finally stopped procrastinating, so I shall at least help solve this problem. By the way, can anyone tell me who's still alive? 

[LightRinger he/him]

The thing is done. Let the MURDER commence.

Yes (I PM'ed you about it)

[RoyalBeeMage he/him]

@Edema Rue won’t likely be online for a few more days. Sorry for the inactivity.

[The Stormfather He/Him]

I’ve been trying to suggest that my alliance start killing others but I said something else in the same post and they narrowed in on that.

also I think everyone but Mark and Astra are in a sort of alliance so we’re screwed.

two vs five/six/I forget how many

we got this

Ah, but you have a third person(ish) now. You were also supposed to have Red, but then he died. Monsters can be much stronger than tributes...

yeah, at least I doubt this is going to come to a crazy showdown, it’ll probably be slow starvation and death, or quiet assassination. If it comes to a showdown we’re dead. We’ll take someone with us, but we’re dead.

[Scars of Hathsin he/him]

I was on your side, and I have plans if they meet
