HUNGER GAME: The Ceremonials

3, 2, 1...

And The countdown ends now.

Welcome to the biggest most-anticipated televised summer event of this year. The ceremonials of the Hunger Game will be held for 2.5 days, where you will get to know all the contestants who will fight till the last breath in order to survive.

We will now announce our "12" contestants who apparently come from different clubs, ages, and genders. They might have diverse skills, but they undoubtedly share a common ambition: SURVIVAL.

~ Here they are, let's hear a wild wave of applause for: ~

1- Britt

She calls herself, "Gatlin", that is a super old school gun. Watch out! She is just 25 years of age, and with her "M&M" skills, she can slit your throat without your notice! She shoots with her left leg!

2- xLilMissFrostyx

She goes by the name, "Frosty". ICE is her game! A 24 year old "M&M"er who is willing to fight till the end with ice cubes and popsicles. Aren't you feeling the cold already?

3- Poet on the Piano

.... Or "Luciana" - Her name might fool you with its crisp, tender rhythm, but believe it or not, this 17 years old survivor is dangerous when she is on the Piano! She is an "M&M"er by blood!

> See her TALENTS!!

4- Max

He prefers the name, "Blind Archer". This guy runs with 10 packs, shirtless - 17 years old and a "Kite Runner" who will rip your heads off (blindly) with your balls and hang them on cactus!

5- Chelsey

A blondie who goes by the name, "Rebella". Her beautiful eyes might deceive you. If you look into them for 2 seconds in a row, believe me, you are dead - a 20 years old "Kite Runner" whose blondeness is treacherous; hence, a rebel!

> CHECK OUT her talent in FIIIIIGGGHTTTTINNNGGG + PRANKS ;)

6- Karla

Aka "Isobel Gowdie" - she might be the oldest in this game, but her hunting skills are unmatchable! Coming from "The Raven's Haven", she is a survivor who should be avoided, literally... Otherwise, who knows? She might prey on your corpse!

> This is what she does (MAKE VIDEOS):

7- Everlasting

... or "Eternal Flame" - a 22 years old gladiator, and a "Kite Runner" to the bones. FIRE is her game. And apparently, her soft eyes are craters that shoot scorching lava. You cannot step closer, or else... she'll barbecue you flesh!

8- Nevi

He goes by the title, "Taka" - His place is the Sky, and his game is Fly; a 19 years old "M&M"er whose nuances convey serenity, but that is just a mask for his preying skills. This vulture is unstoppable. He'll take you by surprise!

> This is his talent, Music-Makin!:

9- Tara Kay

Her eyes say "Iron Eagle" - a 24 years old terminator who was raised by "LTFR" and fed with blood. She might sound classy and tactful, but this is just a survival skill. Deep inside, she is a savage barbarian whose closet is filled with flesh and bones.

> Here is her talent!!!:

10- The Poetess

... is an "Ambrosial Blackbird" who's still young - 17 years old - but her hunger for bones is immortal. She is a pirate from "The Club" and TCs a lot when she kills! Her game is Bad Luck, and nothing could swerve her sight uninjured.

> Those are her talents (SHE CAN DRAWWWWWW!):

11- Jenni

... or preferably, "Aleyah" - an 18 years old goddess in the land of "Kite Runners" - She is invincible on ground, and no one has ever approached her without ending underground. She preys on eye-balls, and tears is her favorite summer refreshment.

> SEE WHAT SHE DOES!!!

12- PinkyPrincess

Her pink skin is entitled, "Sweety Pie" - a 20 years old lady born in "LTFR". She might be classy and spoiled, but when she whispers in your ears, your nerve centers are atrophied. Her game is radioactive Ice Cream, and teenagers are her preys.

--------------------------------- HOORAYSSSSSSSSSSSSS!! -----

Now that you had a closer look at our contestants, you can start VOTING for them "VIA a PM to ME" based on either their non-poetic talents that they have displayed, or their looks, nicknames, skills, popularity, and charm. Note that you are allowed to vote for as many contestants as you like, once only.

Also, to your voting, attach your BETS on the "2" contestants whom you think will reach the final round.

` FOR EXAMPLE, send me a PM in this form:

I vote for, X and Y and Z and F.
BETS: X and F

> VOTING & BETS will last for two days, and when they are collected, they will be announced also in another thread. Then, before we start the game, contestants will be asked "During which round will you use them all?" (We have 4 rounds).

SPREAD THE WORD, PEOPLE... TELL YOUR CLUBS, FRIENDS, and ACQUAINTANCES to come here, and PM me with their VOTES&BETS.

Contestants! Contestants! Contestants! - You can also Vote&Bet. Bribe everyone you know, blackmail them, do whatever it takes to earn votes.

"The Hunger Game" [1st Round] will start on August 3, 2012. Stay Tuned!

* Oh, don't worry guys.

Contestants will only know the number of votes & bets, but they won't know who voted or placed the bets.

* Edited, I was also asked: can contestants vote&bet for themselves?

YUP, you can ;)

Can we vote for one person only?

Exciiiiting exciiiitinggg!

We can vote for however many contestants we like.

* Britt: you can vote for as many as you like, like Chels said above.

EDITED:

NEVI, aka Taka, has added his special talent in music making. It is now posted above

WaWW.
Vote for me, people. And bet on me. I'll comment your stuff. PWEEZ.

Thanks Chels and LP!

Hmmmm. This is harder than I thought it'd be figuring out my bets. lol.

Bet on me, Britt.

My bets are already innnnnnn.

"6" People sent their bets&votes!

6 that's it. Wtf, people are lieing to me then lmaoo

This game is aggrivating me already and I haven't even started it! Lmao

You need to be harsher on them then :P

Yup, about to bring out my tiger side! Roooarrrrr :P

I sent my bets and votes! BUT nobody is betting on me or voting for me...I have 0 votes and 0 bets. Guess I'm out of the game. :'( </3

Lol Noura, no need to be a showass :P

----

NOTE: Tara Kay's talent is added above! Check it out.

What's this talent stuff? I'm missing it lol

In order to try and gain votes, you need to post your non poetic talents, whatever they are...take photo's/videos and PM them to Abed, and he will add them here for us to see.

He probably told me this. Haha thank you!!

Thanks, Tara..

Britt, Tara is right ;)

Nevi & Tara & Noura & Sarah & Karla
displayed those non-poetic talents !

Uh, who would like to trade??? I need some talent. And I will give....uhmm....well I will keep that private heheh

So, can I Google image stuff instead of taking my own pics? My camera has an issue.

I don't understand :P

so those images on Google are yours?

No.... But I would find an example of what I do and then send it. Otherwise I have no other (easy) way. Lol

Yes you do!

M&M is all yours! No one of them has voted yet,lol

And don't you help mods? Then they should vote for you haha.. there you go.. those are better than a thousand talents :P

WOOOOOOOOOOOW !!! how damn interesting, I have NOT seen anything like this before...honestly this sounds to be the best contest ever made so far.
Last time I enjoyed reading contest threads, was when Abby held hers ! Amazing job..

Thanks, Nanananan:)

---

Oh God, Britt! I just saw your new pic... your husband is handsome, and you really seem that you click together. You'll get a vote from me bcz of that! ;)

Wait a second the host of the contest gets to vote??? ;P

Hahahaha! MM is slacking, I've rounded the troops already, waiting for them to pop on!

Yes, mods, I do help. And I just got married so yall can vote for me as a wedding gift :) bwahaha.

Thanks.LP, I'm about to change my pic again soon. Lol so many I love I can't pick!

Crafty Abed, love the layout of your "Hunger games" contest.

How come the mods stayed out of this one? Guess they do not like the "survivor" game!

Made me "hungry",....the delicacies ....wow, appetizing stuff Pinky Princess, at least the veggie's. Salivating...haha!
Karla, Nevi, your music talents/choices are amazing.
Poetess, your facebook stuff is invisible to me, when I copy and paste your facebook URL, I get a message "this content is unavailable...blah blah blah...guess you need to be a facebook member to access its contents. By the way, how do you know your votes/bets? Did Abed leak it you. I have not yet voted, still figuring out my bets....any bribes?
Tara Kay....talented photoartist? Is that a finger, foot or b... print jpeg in B?
The rest, still waiting to see your non-poetic talents? Is that a requirement for getting to be in the contest or simply adds to non-poetic point tally or neither? Confused...

Agree ^^^^ the publicity to this contest is certainly inviting. How about extending the date for some entrants who may be now hungry to jump in? Make it more fun.

)

- Sarah, yup, I am a PnQer afterall :P

- LOL, Britt. That is a smart move haha,

- David, having those talents is not a requirement. Afterall, some contestants did not attach anything. It is just a method to increase the voting from member ;)

I cannot extend the date, anymore, lol.. I have 4 rounds, and I need to finish them in 28 days! I already said before that this would be fun. Only few listened! Not my bad :P

David if I knew how to bribe you, I'd be at it right now lol since I doubt my "art-skills" are satisfying. :P

JENNI has attached her talent also. Check them out.

SO, people who displayed non-poetic talents till now are:

- PinkyPrincess
- Nevi
- Karla
- The Poetess
- Jenni
- Tara Kay

The rest are depending on other pillars ;)

Guess what?

"20" people have PMed me their votes till now.
And that is only since 9 hours ago.

;)

Oops

I cannot extend the date, anymore, lol.. I have 4 rounds, and I need to finish them in 28 days!

^ C'mon Abed, show me your sporting side, Another 24 hrs, and may be you would double the entrants, more fun for everyone watching (me).....and misery for the judges. Put the invitation on general threads with a link, if you decide to do so. This thread is obscure to many.
----------------------------------
Edit: And I can see Jenni is very talented too. Thank you for submitting for us to enjoy:) Loved the hand drawings and the images.

David, I would gladly do that if I had 2 months... haha...

maybe in another contests, hopefully.

Now 12 contestants is an awesome number. I already made my 1st round, and I drew the general picture of the other 3 rounds.

More rounds would ruin the whole thing :/

You could always add people to the 2nd round (call it wild card entry by support of members) to fill the drop out/eliminated folks....
OR be innovative.
You may see some even more interesting competition and talents.
----------------------------------------
So, is MAX the executioner in the games, " ..he rips the head off with the b**** " ? Sounds like the "preying mantis female's" mating behavior...haha! And, what if you have no "b****" ? (metaphorical expression here). :)
-----------------------------------------
And, this one for you LP. Is the beard and sideburns homegrown or borrowed from the drama club? Looks very nice and realistic, but if I had to guess, I would say they are "stuck on."
------------------------------------------
LATE EDIT: The talent below (martial arts phots/video's) could be difficult to beat in the "Games", I can see why:
#1 - "hairpin" lock...must be exquisitely painful, a crafty one to make the opponent scream for mercy, it seems.
#2 - spine & leg "lock"....wow! An illegal Judo killer move!
#3 - head and neck "lock" this is the one to beat, I think. This duo lock can break the neck and strangle the head of the opponents... could be the winning strategy in the "games."
What do you think Karla, can Brazilian women beat these moves? Din't they win a Gold in Judo at the Olympics a few days ago?

Im hungry for some games. Lets get this round started!
