Improvised Items Guidelines

[L△LIA]

IMPROVISED ITEMS

1. All improvised items must be individually pre-approved by the Gamemakers.
2. The approval of the item must occur the previous Games day if it is to be used in a mandated thread, although the writing of the creation of a previously approved improvised item may then take place in an intro post.

- Improvisation is not allowed in the Bloodbath or Day 1.5 mandates because the IC creation of the items could not have taken place prior to the fights.

3. Items may be improvised for use in the current Games day if the improvisation is taking place outside of a mandated fight.
4. If a writer improvises a particularly unique item, GMs have the right to refuse to allow other tributes to create the same item on the grounds of OOC respect of creativity, even if other tributes are in possession of the same materials.

- Once another tribute has actively seen the item in a post, then they may attempt to create the same item on the grounds that the tribute is intentionally copying IC.
- Tributes seeing items improvised in previous Games is a valid basis for duplication.

5. Tributes must be in possession of logical materials with which to create an item.
6. Tributes must have the logical ability to create an item.
7. Tributes may improvise items for their allies.
8. Exceptions may be made to these guidelines at the discretion of the Gamemakers.
