Night Four



Athanatos, learning the hard way that being an admin causes a -5 debuff to practical skills, will have to sleep in the cold tonight. Fresh off their first murder, Safety Biscuits completely passes out. Hopefully they're energized and rarin to get killin tomorrow! Two big alliances make moves to protect each other, and Pmush Perfect seems to be having trouble with an infection. Hopefully she doesn't try anything too strenuous by the next day.



It was bound to happen. We are witness to a D&D Mod getting into it with a C-SPAM IK, and in an absolutely embarassing moment, fool of sound:rip: is sent plummeting to their unceremonious death! Ouch, better luck next time.



A.s.P. is also unable to get any fire going, while OldSenileGuy shows us how its done. Shine is clearly missing home, his creatine shakes, his post workout, his local gym, running by the quad, you know what maybe he belongs here. And in a stunning move, the as of yet incredibly peaceful but stronk Dum Cumpster takes out movax:rip: in a totally cowardly manner! What the hell, dude!?



It must have rained earlier today since Grand Fromage is the third person we see completely unable to put fire together. Come on now, you've had plenty of time to learn! Jerusalem and Anidav use the night to relax, while SoundMonkey plays to his greatest strengths: Doing absolutely nothing and sleeping all of the time. Seriously, go back and check, I think this dude has slept every phase of the game. Squizzle:rip: suffers a massive operator error and blows up his own game! Rest in pieces, friend.

Day Five



Franchescanado still reeling, sets up a shack to rest for a little while longer. Rah! makes Grand Fromage:rip: go Ahh! with a surprise attack, sending him off a cliff as well!



DJ Fuckboy Supreme is showing that E/N Moderators can heal wounds both emotional and physical. I'm sure Relax or DIE! will feel indebted to their generosity. SoundmMonkey does something that isn't sleeping, but I'm not convinced he isn't just looking for logs to saw. Pmush Perfect's:rip: injuries and infection gets the better of her, as her game is brought to a crashing halt.



Anidav and Julias go hunting for food, while the now clearly bloodthirsty Safety Biscuits and Athanatos team up to brutalize graph:rip:!



A.s.P. teached GreyjoyBastard:rip: a very important lesson in maintaining cardio and steady breathing by making him stop doing so. A life lesson to the D&D moderator: Sticks and stones break bones. Not words.



muscles like this! and Jose continue to try to stay out of the way, a move that's worked well for them so far, while Dum Cumpster and Jerusalem work together to find someone else to take down. And what's this? We have two titans on a head to head course as Shine appears ready to make a move against OldSenileGuy! I can't wait to see if this plays out at all during the next update.

End of Day Five

Day Five Stats





We see no changes for District 1: GBS or District 2: Games as both still have only one Tribute remaining, with neither gaining any eliminations this round.

District 3: D&D had a horrible day today, losing two key representatives during their pacifist run, and one of them was even eliminated by their C-SPAM rivals. Hopefully Anidav can make things right tomorrow. District 4: SAS doesn't improve or worsen their position. Maybe the steady game will pay off.

District 5: YOSPOS joins District 9 as the second District to have all of their Tributes successfully uninstalled. You guys had a good run, ending with four total eliminations. Maybe going outside more would have lent itself to more success, like District 6: YLLS is reveling in. They are unquestionably the District to beat now, with six combined kills and tied for the highest number of Tributes still in the Hunger Games.

I feel for you, DJ Fuckboy Supreme, since you seem to be doing most of the heavy lifting for District 7: E/N+DIY. But maybe this is deliberate; maybe SoundMonkey's inaction, is to teach you to do it yourself. :haw: District 8: TV/IV+CD surprisingly maintains as Franchescanado levels himself out after having a rough couple of days. Neither of the TV/IV mods added to their kill count, but neither of them died either.

Rah! had a big coming out party today, after feeling the pressure come on and earning two additional kills for District 10:C-SPAM. I would keep an eye out on this player, they seem to be shooting for the win after laying low for this long. If only they taught Squizzle how to properly arm a mine... Oh well.

District 11: ADTRW+TBB maintained their numbers, and Safety Biscuits got to dip their toe in a little more murder, after some gearin up and motivation from forums admin Athanatos of District 12: A/T+QCS. Athanatos had to deal with the loss of his ever drunken comrade Grand Fromage, but he took out a fairly evasive YOSPOS tribute to make up for it. Hey, numbers on the board are numbers on the board!

Shine continues to be the player to beat, with the standing record 4 kills. Athanatos isn't far behind with 3, and Rah! showed the strongest game-improvement thus far, picking up 2 kills in back to back segments. Districts 1, 2, 3, 4, 10, and 12 all only have one sole player remaining. Districts 5 and 9 have both been completely wiped out, and Districts 6 and 8 seem to be able to keep their players healthy. I have a feeling that tomorrow when we hit Day 6, we're going to see another big chunk of the moderators meet their end in the Something Awful Hunger Games.

is the simulator fully randomised or do characters become consistent in their actions as it goes on?

The AI is weird about it. Often, we'll see one or two alliances stick together even if they're not from the same district. It appears that players from the same District rarely ever (but it does happen on rare occasions) kill their own. There is also a momentum aspect, where a player that racks up kills in a consistent manner will usually grow momentum before either being killed themselves, or them go on a mass multi-kill. The game script caps out kills per one player in a single instance at 7. It does appear that players who get wounded or infections are more likely to die by elements than outright murder, and we'll usually see passive players commit suicide over ones that actually score kills.

Jose posted:

Technically, fully randomized. No actual rhyme or reason despite apparent alliances/rivalries or someone clearly getting an edge or coming prepared. Only thing that actually matters is if somebody lives through a "normal" event, or if somebody dies in a "lethal" event. Simulator also counts kills weird sometimes, usually anybody involved in doing the killing gets credited with a kill. There's no inventory or poison or friendship system, it's more down to binary "who/how many died and by whom" and anything else is flavor text like finding weapons or getting injured from falling from a tree.

That still doesn't stop it from pulling startlingly accurate, hilarious, yet coherent mini arcs and personal storylines more often than not, as well as somebody going on a hot streak with 7 kills suddenly falling into a hole and dying in the top 4 tributes remaining. All from utter chaos.

Night Five


We see Jerusalem and Julias take it easy for the night, while the SAS mods show us that it's time to get PHYSICAL! They get their cardio in with some mutual, but non lethal rear end kickings. Anything to get ready for the next day!



Anidav continues to not really be able to accomplish anything, while OldSenileGuy has Relax or DIE cornered. In a sudden twist, he chooses to Relax!


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DV1fUwKMdAI

DO NOT gently caress WITH THE BOOK BARN. I REPEAT, DO NOT gently caress WITH THE BOOK BARN.

Additionally, Rah! keeps up momentum, taking down the last GBS mod standing. It was a good run Jose:rip:

Day Six: The Feast


The Cornucopia has been restocked. Letters from home, food, weapons! Is it opportunity? Or is it a trap? Soundmonkey and Anidav decide they're not feeling it, while Dum Cumpster:rip: and Jerusalem:rip: just off themselves?! What did they think was going to happen, they're not even in the final mix! Way to let down your district, J-ru.



OldSenileGuy knows better, while Julias decides to go and show A.s.P.:rip: her very own Grave of the Fireflies!



More intelligent players are starting to avoid the feast, while Shine wages emotional and mental warfare on the Tribute who just out of nowhere snatched his lead in the game! Clearly his pride has been affected here.



Safety Biscuits decides to have a good cry in a tree, while two unstoppable forces come head to head, with Relax or DIE learning a lesson from a prior example of mercy, and showing Rah!:rip: absolutely none.



Julias decides they're going to prepare for an attack on a killing titan, while Anidav actually shows that they're finally ready to play the game! They don't get the score, but hey, they at least made an attempt! OldSenileGuy appears to be going softer as the game comes along, he hasn't had a kill in several days, and even had prime opportunity to the prior night. Is he getting soft? Are the elements just getting to him?

Day Six Stats




Jose, you put up a good effort, but today, your time has come to an end and District 1: GBS has been completely eliminated. Maybe sharing more Simpsons memes could have bought you more time. Maybe not. The world will never know. Relax or DIE is the sole remaining member of District 2: GAMES, and was able to add another notch to his belt.

District 3: D&D is putting all their chips in Anidav's corner today, and while he didn't rack any points up, he's finally starting to show an effort. Jerusalem clearly couldn't handle it anymore, and with his self inflicted death, District 4: SAS has been completely eradicated. Your district thanks you for your efforts.

District 6: YLLS had a rough go today, they didn't add anymore kills, there was infighting, and now Shine is the sole Tribute remaining. Soundmonkey of District 7: E/N+DIY is actually committing well to the pacifist role and pretending like nothing is going on.

District 8: TV/IV+CD is down to their final Tribute, and luckily it's one that has shown an ability to get the job done in previous days. Lately, they haven't looked that hot, but maybe they're just waiting to strike at just the right moment. Rah! added to his kill streak, but sadly momentum for District 10: C-SPAM came to a crashing halt at the hands of Relax or DIE! Ah well, it's C-SPAM, they're used to compromise and crushing defeat anyway.

District 11: ADTRW+TBB. District Eleven. I don't even know what to say. Great job guys. And with Safety Biscuits's M-M-M-MONSTER KILL, District 12: A/T+QCS has been completely eliminated.

Safety Biscuits has completely overtaken Shine as the current point leader, and with Julias also getting a kill, District 11 is now the District with the highest score at 7 kills and the most players remaining. They are also the only District with more than one player remaining. We saw four Districts go totally extinct today, with us at the half way point, only Six Districts still in contention. Anidav and SoundMonkey remain the only pacifists still alive. There are seven players left.
