The 99th Annual Hunger Games: Restricted

Hey guys! It’s Cait here and after some consideration, I’ve decided to start a hunger games for all to join. It’s been ages since I last did any solo games (and I have yet to complete one), so let’s get right into it! By the way, these will be a follow up to my 98th hunger games so if you wish to read them, then feel free to do so.

Introduction
After the disappointing twist for the previous year’s games, President Aaron Pluto found himself in a bubble of humiliation. The only good that came out of it was how well the tributes played them, what with epic scenes, funny moments and even a tad bit of romance here and there. He spent most of his time observing the other slips of paper within his bowl, which displayed pieces of writing of twist upon twist. He discarded of all the ones he didn’t like the sound of and kept those which intrigued him. And he took it upon himself to come up with even more ideas for the games. Sounds pretty normal so far, right? But his joy would soon be shattered like a glass chandelier.

Weeks after he finished writing the twists, he felt a stabbing pain in his head. He shrugged it off as nothing but a migraine, but this soon became worse. Before he knew it, president Pluto was overcome with even more ailments. Because of the advancement of modern medicine, he was able to recover… mostly. However  his personal surgeons discovered a tumour in his head. According to them it was too risky to operate on and not even the most powerful of chemicals was enough to bring it down. He would later be diagnosed with only 1 ½ years left to live.

Skip time by a couple of months. It was time for the twist of the 99th hunger games to begin. President Pluto, as ever, took his place upon the stand. For a man who had influenced Panem for around 30 years, he would’ve appeared shaky to the keen-eyed. His hand vibrated like a sound wave, his mind constantly ticking down the amount of time he had to live. 1 year 2 months, 1 year 2 months... Despite how much self-confidence he lost, he continued on with the declaration.

“Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the grand announcement of the twist for the 99th Annual Hunger Games,” Pluto made a slight grin to hide his inner demons, which certainly worked for the majority of the audience. “As per usual, 32 tributes will be hand-selected to become tributes and compete for the glory and riches,” He didn’t want to be stood here anymore and prolong the amount of time it took for him to return to his headquarters. “Last years twist was very little to my own taste, so let’s hope that this years twist is much better!” He gestured to Apollo, his grandson and carrier of the bowl. Inside were tens of tiny slips of paper, the same ones Pluto had written. The mentally scarred President of Panem dipped his hand into the bowl, feeling around for a ballot. Nimbly his fingers grasped around one. He pulled it out. “The twist for this year… as a reminder that nobody gets away with breaking the peace around Panem, each tribute will be given a bracelet with a forbidden action. Should they act out said action… well, you can expect them to be disposed of. They will not be allowed to show or mention what the action is to other tributes.” The crowd below cheered, even beginning to chant Pluto’s name. Their expectations, having been lowered due to the previous year’s twist, had been raised again. President Pluto once more grimly smiled. “Happy hunger games, and may the odds be ever in your favour!”

For Tributes

 * As mentioned in the introduction, each of the tributes will be given a bangle with a forbidden action inscribed within. The bangles also have a button, so if a tribute presses it the other rules regarding the bangles and actions will be displayed via hologram.
 * The bangle has two compartments within for poison. One for the action, and one if they break the other rules for this twist. The latter always leads to an instant kill.
 * If the tribute does the action, intentional or not, they will be administered a dose of poison.
 * The tribute will be notified when the poison is administered and how long it will take for it to take effect.
 * The amount will depend on how easy it is for the tribute to avoid doing said action. The poison may last 1-3 days and disrupt the workings of the tribute’s body, or it will cause instant death. One of the forbidden actions will be an exception to this.
 * Any antidotes supplied within these games won’t save a tribute if they’ve performed their forbidden action.
 * A tribute can still win even if the poison’s in their bloodstream: The Capitol have the antidote required to save their life.
 * The tributes can’t show their forbidden action or mention it to other tributes. However the other tributes can try and sneak a peek at the action without consequences for both parties.
 * The tributes can’t attempt to take off their bangles.
 * Each bangle will be disabled on the final day and in the duration of the feast. The tributes will be notified of this.

For Mentors

 * The mentors will not know what forbidden action their tribute has. At the end of each day in the arena, the mentors will be allowed to make one guess for what the action is for each of their tributes.
 * If they get it right, they will be able to sponsor that tribute with one item of their choice free of charge. I will say if they got it right in the comments.
 * If they get it wrong, they won’t be able to guess until the next day ends.
 * Of course, making guesses is entirely optional. However it is highly recommended to make predictions
 * The forbidden actions will be revealed either when the tribute dies, when the action is guessed, when a tribute figures it out or if the tribute refers to it in their POV.

Rules

 * You can submit three tributes maximum. This may change if more tributes are needed.
 * Districts 0-14 and the Capitol will be taking part.


 * Don't enter troll tributes please. They just waste time.


 * No spamming. Doing so will either result in your tribute being killed off, severely injured or losing sponsor money.


 * If you wish to submit a tribute, either use a link or submit them in the comments.


 * If you wish to reserve a spot it will last 48 hours. Afterwards you won’t be able to reserve it again, but you can still submit a tribute there if no one steals the slot.


 * You mustn't go on a fury rampage if your tribute dies. You are allowed to mourn them to say R.I.P and to virtually cry, but no anger.


 * Don't use somebody else's advice to keep your tribute alive (E.g: Tilia is planning on killing you, Canary. Kill her before she can do so)


 * Be respectful of others. If I see anything hateful towards other users then you will be banned from all my future games and reported to the admins.
 * Feel free to ask any questions you have about these games at anytime! There might be loopholes that I haven’t noticed or something I may not have made clear.
 * Constructive feedback and criticism are both appreciated.
 * Please bear in mind that these games are based upon the Danganronpa 3 anime (Future arc). As such, credit for the twist should go to the creators.


 * If you have read this and plan to submit a tribute/reserve a spot, write ‘Time is a borrowed gift for you and me’ somewhere in your comment, ideally at the top.
