The only issue here is that there is no way to hide since your name appears from miles away. That would need to be fixed, or it ruins a lot of the fun. How are you ever supposed to smelt, or even take a little time to heal, if everyone can see you from miles away?

You can sneak, but that would be devastatingly slow. It would be a great amount of strategy when you got close to the target, and neither knows where the other is.
This looks like it could have a lot of potential, unfortunately my internet is too slow for me to fight with weapons, traps on the other hand...
well if it's anything like the books tactics and ingenuity could be just as useful as having an edge at combat.

sneaking now hides your name through walls and decreases the distance to when you can see a player's name. also, if there's a plugin to hide the name, we could just implement that.

Battle Royal spin sounds interesting...
Though the items should be a bit more balanced. I mean,would you rather have 2 arrows or a block of TNT?
Sounds cool otherwise though.
it would be balanced to a point. but i guess balanced is relative. would you rather have a golden apple or a tnt block?
Definitely willing to help in anyways possible. I've read all the books so i got an idea on what you're going for. If there is anyway I can help building or cast votes talk to me.
As I have read the first 2 books and starting the 3rd, I have a very good idea for a map.
In the 2nd book, the place is a BIG natural clock. Each hour has a special event in a special area. The VERY center is the cornucopia. Its a little sand island. 50 feet around that, is water. And that is where the contestant's platforms are where they start. Outside the water, is 50 feet of sand. Outside of that, is ALL jungle.
I say, we cut the natural events, but keep the map. (Just make sure the jungle is trees,
Also, I say you don't do the day of preparing thing. What would be best, is to have stuff like food, weapons, tools all on the cornucopia island. From there on, they fight to the death.
Could you PM me the IP code and when you and your friends will be working on it? So I can view the progress and possibly help? Thanks!
ack! sorry guys! i just finished finals :biggrin.gif:
okay so currently, colosseum is slightly done. Currently this is how it looks. however, the cage had to be removed for the moment. right now, we're putting the finishing touches and rounding out some stuff. as always, PM me and i can give you access. :3
Oh my god. I love this. Tell me/give ip when its done?

I think there should be a raffle to choose the contestants like in the book. I havent quite finished the third one, but Im dont the first two so I know what it's about. I think the theme needs to change with each arena, not have the arena the same every battle. I love the idea, I would have started one of these anyways sooner or later, I just hope you stay true to the story. If you don't, you mayswell call it "Deathmatch server". Which would be stupid imo.
The book was great, just I dont like the thought of one arena having different themes that are obviously different. Maybe just like, desert one time, or artic, rainforest, Nether, ocean, the list goes on. I just REALLY hope this turns out well because I would really like to take part in the recreation of my all time favourite book.
Cos if you don't do this right, Im gonna start up my own one :biggrin.gif: Not because I dont like you, because I really want to play the Hunger Games. Maybe you guys who are admins could be the Capitol's gamemakers, and the mods are all Peacekeepers :biggrin.gif:
Like I said, I REALLY want to be a part of this, even if it is just a contestant, or a builder, or anything really!
Would we be allowed to enter as a team? My brother told me that they did eventually change the rules so that 2 people could win. Could my brother and I enter from the same place and win together?
We would totally own. He's awesome at outcropping defenses (towers, forts, etc.) and I am good with hidden defenses(fortifying caves, hiding entrances,etc.). We would be a perfect team.
That would be a new twist, but it wasn't officially allowed. It was used by the two main characters (conveniently the last two) to show that either they both win or they both take the poison-berries and die. Later on in the book, the Capitol public took it as an act of love, while the bloodthirsty President Snow and all the districts looking to rebel took it as an act of defiance to the Capitol's rules, causing an uproar.
Back to the topic though, I really hope I can be a part of this, as I dont have the ability to make the server, but I have so many ideas that would work.
Again, the whole "Sections" type of arena doesn't really work with the storyline. I kinda wished it would be like some of the other games where it could just be one theme. I really liked the year where they were in a beautiful forest/meadow but everything; delicious looking fruits, cute little bunnies and pink flamingoes, were all poisonous and carnivorous :biggrin.gif:
I think that there should be building limits. Like, so that they can only dig 5 blocks deep in the ground, and below that, is just a unbreakable block. If they want hiding places, there should be pre made caves and such.
And I think you should, for the start, around the Cornucopia, put all of the tools that they will need. Ex: Weapons, Tools, Food, Wood, blocks and stuff, etc.
You should try to make the middle area like the Cornucopia arena in the 2nd book. That would be great!
Could you possibly give us another image of the progress?

When this server is up, alert me via PM. PLEASE.

I know all of the tactics. So look out. :wink.gif:
So when will it be? And I have to get voted in?

Would we be able to sign up for the hunger games, or is it strictly a vote in thing?
