After careful re-consideration of the rules and current storyline situation of the Hunger Games, I would like to be dropped from the competition.

I've challenged people, but at this point, there are no holes in the story if I were to up and disappear since I haven't killed anybody or, obviously, lost.

I have no intention of dueling anybody, insta-surrender arguments void so don't bring them up, at the point the story is at, and considering the sudden shift this has taken into being a lot more like the HG novel, I'm simply not interested.

So yeah. Not dead, not living, not nothing. Since this tournament will be completely unaffected by having one less member (there was no number minimum or maximum anyway) I would like to have my name simply removed and be treated as having never existed.

i will fill his spot if u really need to keep that number

I apologize if I was drawn by the supernaturality of it, which is now being restricted? I joined because I appreciated how things were at the beginning. Why should I continue to be in the event if one of the changes made is going to make it harder for me, personally, to have fun? I'm not saying this isn't better for the event as a whole. Nonetheless, I don't think I'll be able to enjoy it at this point. So what's wrong with at least asking to be dropped from the event?

If that graces you as unworkable or problematic, list me as dead at Blazer or Pride's hand. I'll be cool with that, too.

I wasn't godmodding! And have you even READ Blazer's new rules? When I said I liked the supernaturality of it, I meant that I liked how everyone had a different perspective on what was going on in the tournament, the mystery, and the strange magic surrounding the area! It left a lot of room for roleplaying and actually trying things like bringing people back to life, even if they're doomed to fail. I liked how people each had different memories of what this event was supposed to be about, Nottu thinking it was a friendly tournament, Blazer coming in with the statement about the capitol doing everything like in the novel, Pride having his own out-there agendas, and all sorts of things like that! It left room for people to feel the mystery, for me to wonder which side of it was real, a bit of fear factor as some of us questioned what we knew about the event! And it left a lot of twist endings possible!

But, no. None of those things can be anymore. We can't tamper with bodies, we're supposed to move on immediately when somebody has died, and apparently our graveyard no longer serves a purpose because out of absolutely NOWHERE Blazer decreed "disposal of bodies will be taken care of by the capitol."

But you want to think of me as a sore loser because I "can't GM anymore" when I was basing my strength on whoever I was up against and trying to keep things equal and open-ended so that duels would actually happen instead of one character overpowering the other and doing whatever they felt like without a duel happening? Fine.

EDIT: I highly overreacted when I first posted this. I apologize to Nottu for what I said, assuming he read the initial draft.

Also, I am NOT insulting the rule change. I truly do believe that the rules she added are going to make things more fun for almost every single other player in this, as well as, as she put it, "stopping unnecessary shenanigans". If I though the rules would make things less fun for everybody else, I would have done what her post on the rules says, and taken it over with her. I think these rules are good and beneficial to everyone else.

The thing is, the sense of mystery behind it all and the idea that my character could try to solve it while attempting to save lives as he went was the thing that compelled me to join, and it made losing an excitable prospect that I had a legitimate reason to avoid (considering I don't really care about OD, thus making the prize moot to me and the roleplaying quality more important). However, there is no longer a mystery involved, or anybody peaceful left whose lives to attempt to preserve. Therefore, I won't personally have any fun continuing this.

As such, I politely asked to leave. I apologize that we had a disrespectful disagreement, Nottu.

So I'd like to ask Pride once again. May I please be removed from the event? List me as killed if it so suits you.

if we do this again i think that next time someone should play as a character that isn't in the games, and rather someone who trapped the contestants in the game. that way we have someone to keep a story going.

Can we still join this? Or will there be another round because Id like to sign up either way

Glad to see that I'm sill alive and haven't been defaulted to death. Don't want to meet the grim reaper just yet.

I think I'll move on to another place. :3

LOL!, burned by the lava.

Nah. I'm going to freeze to death, now! xD
