While our tributes are arranged in teams, the competition is fundamentally an individual one, which Rich Mahogany proves as he wrestles a jar of worms away from a pair of I think otters? Groundhogs, maybe?

Got it in one, they are a species of otter declared extinct 10 years ago.

Glad Chiitan manged to survive the opening skirmish as they need to be back in Japan for their match in an hour, would be a shame if they got Bree Wooed like some other losers

The noonday sun pounds down on the tropical environs of the Ultra Arena Island. Our remaining contestants are beginning their first day on the island.



Not everyone who joins the Hunger Games Match is necessarily a survival and nature specialist, especially not those who aren't entirely alive. ABADON HAS BEEN ELIMINATED! Unfortunate. Meanwhile, not content with dropping one magickal creature (not magick, but from space), The Last Outlaw decides to spend his time gnawing on the poor Snow Rabbit. Hardly appropriate behavior for the ACE of Impact. He should STEEL himself for possible consequences. Meanwhile, Pipe is letting us the producers and fans really have it. Well, that's what people are perceiving at least. Mostly it just stood in front of a microphone, then fell over with a clatter. As a skilled maybe kinda troop, Steve Maclin has training in improvised weapons, so he fashions a lance from a tree branch that happened to fall down. Why's there face paint on it? Not clear. Steve the Samurai catches No Gimmicks Needed Robert the Fish.



Speaking of improvised weapons, His Majesty has fashioned a sort of small trebuchet, though he has not the skills to use it. Meanwhile, Pete Best has formed his own Fab Four, who are now wandering the forest searching for other tributes. Will they be more successful than that Fab Four that cut him? They might be. Meanwhile, Shave Seltzer needs to shave, and is all out of seltzer. He can't use the river like everyone else, because its only like one and a half stars at best. Meanwhile, the well meaning suburbanite has happened upon a certain imperiled scoopsgal, who has fallen into a barbed wire net. He passes her the handle of her golden shovel and helps her out. How nice.



Huell primarily works for Saul Goodman, but he does take outside contracts sometimes. For instance, two Vegas types named Jimmy and Tommy informed him that one of his fellow tributes had mid five figures of outstanding debts. He was contracted to either collect the fifty Gs, in cash, immediately, or "solve the problem". Option B was selected. DOUGIE JONES HAS BEEN ELIMINATED! Elsewhere, a certain wood specialist has entered the forest and is searching for rich mahogany. Not finding it, he settles for dry sticks. Danhausen, having killed one youthful tribute, is now chasing another one with a large sword. Unfortunate. Meanwhile, it's Mascot Mania down on the beach, with its unwilling participant locating an inconvenient piece of driftwood.

KILL LEADERS
Crypto Luigi - 1 (Menard)
Danhausen - 1 (Murasame)
Jeff Jarrett - 1 (Garrus)
Huell Babineaux - 1 (Dougie)

REMEMBER THE FALLEN
Daddy Magic Matt Menard - Bloodbath
Four Murasame - Bloodbath
Garrus Vakarian - Bloodbath
Abadon - Day 1
Dougie Jones - Day 1

The updated sim also provides this handy status check after each Day phase, which I'll put up in addition to the text.

This could be the most one-sided fight since 1973 when Ali faced an eighty-foot tall mechanical Joe Frazier. My memory isn't what it used to be, but I think the entire Earth was destroyed.

Its a real issue with the simulation. Looking under the hood at event data and rates, it doesn't take district membership into account at all, its essentially just an organizational thing. Season 1 demonstrated this well by having Tito Ortiz immediately kill his own partner during the bloodbath.

I mean that's just realistic considering Tito's mental acuity.

To be fair, that's how the Hunger Games work. You go into it expecting to have to kill the other person from your district.

The night is dark, and guess what else? It's full of terrors. Did you know it?



Rarity, a prominent scoopsgal, has decided to initiate a brawl with the 300 plus pound Mantaur. Does it work? It doesn't like, not work. No Gimmicks Needed Steve the Samurai tries to relax by singing his hit song "Lullaby of No Gimmicks Needed Steve the Samurai", which helps. The chorus "It's time for No Gimmicks Needed Steve the Samurai to rest, in my opinion" is so touching. Elsewhere, on the hillside, a small leanto has been erected where two gentlemen are in quiet repose. This is a true moment of peace. Not feeling the peace are our intrepid otters, who are screaming and running around the beach. What horrors haunt them? Are they just doing a bit at 3 AM like the oversized Rabbids they are? It's hard to say. What's easy to say is that the famously selfless and generous Jeff Jarrett has obtained a toolkit and is buffing and polishing the small scratches from Pipe's adventures. How nice for Pipe.



How warm are mechanical things? It varies. Some are cold, so cold, colder than the grave, while others are warm or even hot because of their endlessly burning engines, never tiring, never resting. It appears that Cleatus the Football Robot is in the latter category. Elsewhere, the guy who took over a planet of dummies then tried to use an enormous magnet to abduct parents for nefarious reasons is wondering if he might have lost the plot somewhere. Additionally, out in the forest, Clark Griswold is having an comical overreaction to some perceived slight and is now clubbing Hard Wood Rich Mahogany with his own tree branch, not even bothering to use the pointy end. HARD WOOD RICH MAHOGANY HAS BEEN ELIMINATED! Down on the flats, it's arts and crafts time, as Steve Maclin is working his brain to overdrive to create such signs as I'D PREFER TO WIN or CRYPTO LUIGI IS QUESTIONABLE AT BEST. Scintillating stuff, Cutler.



Bart Harley Jarvis, for some commendable reason, hasn't lost that childlike sense of wonder, as he examines the stars and wonders why even a punk rock baby would be entered in the hunger games match. Jeffrey Gurian, not finding any branded ball bots to cuddle with, makes a shelter of brush and huddles under it, still nursing his ankle. After a long day of hopping through the grass and being bitten, the Snow Rabbit just drops into one of the sand pits and naps. Nothing else for it. Meanwhile, Dave Meltzer has realized that this time, there's only one plan to change, and also that he's missing the UFC card. Crypto Luigi wonders if mortgaging the entire Mushroom Kingdom to buy apes was wise.

KILL LEADERS
Crypto Luigi - 1 (Menard)
Danhausen - 1 (Murasame)
Jeff Jarrett - 1 (Garrus)
Huell Babineaux - 1 (Dougie)
Clark Griswold - 1 (Mahogany)

REMEMBER THE FALLEN
Daddy Magic Matt Menard - Bloodbath
Four Murasame - Bloodbath
Garrus Vakarian - Bloodbath
Abadon - Day 1
Dougie Jones - Day 1
Hard Wood Rich Mahogany - Night 1
