When Is The Next Hunger Games?

[Kire]

Hi Army ^^ I'm Kire and I'm one of the veteran members of the site.

Currently the next Games (the 74th) is set to start in the beginning of October. In order to enter the Games, you need to first make a character, have it approved, put that character onto warehouse, and enter the reaping check.

This may seem like quite a lot, but I'll break it down.

1. Make a character
First, you have to create a character. This is done in the Character Creation board. We have a handy template [ here ]. As stated there, you need to have 2 full paragraphs for appearance, 3 full paragraphs for personality, and 3 full paragraphs for history. A full paragraph for this site is defined as roughly 5 - 10 complete sentences, minimum. Once you've finished that, you wait for a staff member to approve it.

[In order to be helpful for the staff, putting your character's Name and District in the thread title is encouraged.]

2. Getting your bio approved
Once you've posted your bio, all you have to do is wait. A staff member will check it soon - much more likely during this time as the check is going on - and reply to the thread. If they ask you to make some changes then you'll have to do so in order for the bio to be accepted. If they think it's good to go they'll reply with the word "Accepted" in some form (if you're ever confused, feel free to ask) and then you're good to go!

Having a character be Accepted means that you can now roleplay with them in the boards, as well as put them onto Warehouse!

3. Warehouse
I've been tossing around the title Warehouse and I'm sure it makes no sense in this context, but trust me it actually does. Warehouse is an online database written and created by our very own admin Aya. The link to Warehouse is here and I suggest you sign up and start looking around. Once again, feel free to ask questions.

Once your character is accepted, you can hit that button in the menu bar on Warehouse that says New Character and fill in the form to add your character into the database. From there, the only thing left is to enter the reaping.

4. Entering the Reaping
On this site, the reaping is run much like how things were done in the books. All character names are tossed into a bowl and then one from each pool is plucked out - except we're a little bit more advanced in that the selection is done by a random generator. So, how do you get your character's name into the bowl?

One Warehouse's main page, click the button under Active Checks that says "View Checks"
You will then see two different checks, the Activity and the Reaping checks.
Click the plus sign beside the Activity Check.
A scree will come up with a list of your characters, all with a tickbox beside them.
Tick off the boxes, then hit Update.

From there, do the same as above but for the Reaping Check.

With that done, you're all set! The check closes in a week (at 11:59pm EST on the 27th [tuesday]) and then the reaping will be posted the night of Friday the 30th after midnight.


I apologize if that was overwhelming, but let me know if you have any more questions and I'll be happy to answer them. As well, any staff member (the coloured names) or any fellow Veteran Member will always be willing to help you out.

Welcome to HGRPG,
Kire
