I is NEW!

I am new here. ;D ;D ;D I just finished The Hunger Games series ANDITISSOAMAZING!!!!! (Although personally I thought the last book wasn't NEARLY as good as the other two... )

This website seems pretty cool, so I just felt like I should introduce myself to everyone before I make a character... Keep in mind that I've been in a few rpg forums before, but nothing too serious. I don't feel like I need a tutor, but any tips or pointers are gladly accepted.

I just have one major question- how does the whole 'money' thing work?

Hey hey hey (: Welcome to THGRPG, I'm Annamarie. As it says in my display name. And I completely agree with you on the fact that Mockingjay was very disappointing.

The money - I'm not sure how much, but you get a certain amount of money for posting. (I don't think you get any in places like the games threads, though) You can use the money to buy... er... those thingies (I haven't read the book in a while :P) that give you an extra chance of being the the Games (but in the books give you extra food) and you can later use it to sponser somebody in the Games or buy supplies for your character in the Games. Idk if that made any sense. -.-[/color]

To answer the money question, you get $5 for every post you make that is not in the District Square, Introduction/Leaving Board or the Battlefield. This can be used to purchase tesserae or to sponsor tributes :3

HI, by the way^^ I'm shrimpeh/shrimp/shrimpy/whatever really and I agree with you that Mockingjay wasn't as good. It might be because it had a different vibe to it or something - not completely sure. I was just more partial to the first two books.

Well anyways, welcome to the site! Hope to see ya around :)

[themaddraven]

Thank you everybody! ;D I get the money thing now, but what would stop somebody from spamming to get money (not that I would)?

Also, I think Mockingjay may have been disappointing because the series is titled The Hunger Games, and the last book didn't really have a hunger games besides a metaphorical one. (Maybe Collins was running on a tight deadline or something...)

Hey and welcome to the site, TMD! (Can I call you that?) There's not really a way to spam for money on this site -- the way to get money comes from making legitimate posts and creating good characters. There's not really a way to get around it.

Nah, I thought it was a nice ending. Very realistic.

[themaddraven]

TMD? Well, The Madd Raven's name is actually Maddox (which is why 'madd' has two D's), but if you feel so inclined, feel free to call me TMD. ;D

I created a character yesterday. How long does it take for them to get reviewed?

I thought the very ending was realistic and I liked what she did with it, but there was still a small part of me that wished for a generic happy ending.... I just didn't like the rest of the book...

Oh, and what's karma?
