We've almost made it through 2016, ready to take on another year, and there is no better way to celebrate than to play with a cheaply made internet randomizer.

Over twelve months we've had nine Hunger Games Championships. For those who were here for some or all, and for those who are new to this and want to see what this is about, here are links to those games.

The first two games, the "Spam Non-Starvation Games Season 1 and 2."

The third games, the "Spam Starvation Games"

The fourth games, the "Election Year Games".

The fifth games, the "Ye Olde Sacrificial Games", a history-themed contest.

The sixth games, the "Fourth of July Games."

The seventh games, the "Summer Slaughter Edition."

The eighth games, the "Halloween Edition".

The ninth games, the "Happy Holidays Edition"

Nine games means nine winning contestants, all nine returning with a chance to compete with another 39 relevant figures for the title "Spam Champion 2016". I'm adding Broby in a mascot role since he has been such a major player in the past, bringing the number of yet-to-be-added to 38.

So this is how it will work.

Imma put the winners of those nine hunger games (and Broby) onto the 48 person list of who I will run through the BrantSteele Hunger Games Simulator. It will be up to the rest of you to supply me with the extra 38. There will be some different rules this time around, so listen up.

RULES

A: I'm not allowing just any random choice this time around. Entries for the extra 39 have to fit one of two categories.





And I do plan on being picky this time around, so don't try to pass shitty contestants and expect me to shrug and accept. Hunger Games is serious shit.

B: @HaleyTheRandom, @Chapatrap, @ClocktowerEchos, and @Shoryu Magami all have a few options. This is because they are the four RPG member champions. The former three willingly, the latter shanghaied against their will, unbeknownst to me until the Halloween Games had already been ran. Because of this issue, imma give all of them the option to A: Accept their position as tribute in the championship rounds, or B: Select a replacement. If they decide to be replaced, they will be allowed to choose any replacement at all. No rules, except it cannot be another RPG member because that would be a headache. Otherwise, yeh, no rules. If Haley, Chapa, or Clock don't respond I'll run them anyway since they were willing participants before. If Shoryu doesn't respond, I'll run the second place in the Halloween Games, Undertale.

C: This time, since it's special, imma allow people to pick events! Plan is to add events on top of the defaults. Though I'll be adding events myself as I see fit, I will require the rest of you to follow a few rules with suggestions. They'll either have to be A: Custom events present in one of the nine prior games, or B: 2016 relevant events following roughly the same sort of rules as for character rules above.

D: If this list ain't filled by New Years, imma fill in the remainder and roll with it. That gives us five days, plenty of time for a full load, especially with the champions fattening it up already.

So with that in mind, here's our candidates.

1: HaleytheRandom
2: Chapatrap
3: Phantom of the Opera
4: Mr Rogers
5: Not So Rare Trump Pepe
6: Betty White
7: Clocktower Echoes
8: Shoryu Magami
9: Bowser
10: Broby
11: Stefan Karl Stefansson
12: Shifty Kebab Seller
13: Harambe
14: Bernie Sanders
15: Hitler
16: Martin Luther King Jr
17: Alec Baldwin
18: Birdie Sanders
19: Donald Trump
20: Hillary Clinton
21: Gary Johnson
22: Jill Stein
23: Obama
24: Ted Cruz
25: Breitbart
26: CNN
27: MSNBC
28: David Bowie
29: Death
30: Dat Boi
31: Pokemon GO
32: A Waifu
33: Putin
34: Mevlut Mert Altintas
35: Basket of Deplorables
36: Chicago Cubs
37: Rio di Janeiro
38: Fake News
39: Prince
40: Gene Wilder
41: Muhammad Ali
42: Leonardo DiCaprio
43: Carrie Fisher
44: Rodrigo Duterte
45: Boris Johnson
46: Arnold Schwarzenegger
47: Abe Lincoln
48: Hot Wings

And a list of viewer-supplied events so I have them all in a neat and tidy pile.


so yeh, with all that in mind, lets get some fuckin' names, homeskillets.

@Vilageidiotx

Lol, I won that other game? I wasn't even following what was going on, to be honest with you, so I still don't get the point of all this.

Anyway, I suppose sign me up again since my current avatar isn't my own art -- it's just another piece of art I've edited to look like a character that's not part of my main story project, so there's no problems with it being used.

Stefán Karl Stefánsson (Robbie Rotten) - The We are Number One meme guy who's cancer treatment was paid for by internet memelords. One of the few good things to come out of this trainwreck of a year.

Shifty Kebab Seller - 6, 7, 8

Harambe - One of the greatest memes of 2016.

Bernie Sanders - 4, 5

Adolf Hitler - 4, 7

Martin Luther King Jr.- 5, 6

Damn, you took notes.

And memes are mainstream I suppose.

Big Boss/Venom Snake



Huey



Alec Baldwin



A Finch:



As in Bernie's bird.

Some fitting events:

[player 1] hacks the emails of [player 2]

As for my own contribution, I'm nominating ClocktowerEchos' interest check, 'cause it was posted in 2016, and let's be fuckin' honest here kids... it will stay with us forever.

Ground control to Major [player 1]. Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong.

Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, Gary Johnson, Jill Stein, Obama, Ted Cruz. Oh, and lets throw in Breitbart News, CNN and MSNBC. Lets take this shit overboard.



What, you didn't expect me to take us there or something?

Big Boss/Venom Snake

Huey

Alec Baldwin

Bernie's bird.

Some fitting events:

Hider [+]

[player1] loots a tranq gun from the cornucopia.

[player1] uncovers evidence [player2] is working for Cypher

[player1] puts [player2] into a choke hold and kills them.

[player1] is pretty gud.

[player1]is immediately relegated to a wheelchair, permanently.

[player1] is cucked to death by [player2].

[player1] builds a robot mech tank for [player2].

[player1] really loves Diamond Dogs, please don't exile on a dinghy.

[player1] is exiled on a dinghy by [player2], [player3], and [player4].

[Player1] impersonates [player2] so well [player2] takes to Twitter to rant.

[player1] starts a feud between [player2] and [player3] via impersonation.

[player1] is shot by [player2] for performing a 2clever4them impersonation.

[player1] blesses [player2] with the strength of [his/her1] presence.

Metal Gear folk don't quite fit i'm 'fraid. Too esoteric, and besides, that game came out in 2015. Baldwin and Birdie Sanders work though.

Also, events should be 2016 related or rehashes of events previously used. If one was previously used, tell me which game.

Sorry 'bout being difficult, but I want to keep this end of the year special shit tight as a twelve year old, ya dig?

As for my own contribution, I'm nominating ClocktowerEchos' interest check, 'cause it was posted in 2016, and let's be fuckin' honest here kids... it will stay with us forever.

Funsies, but RPG reference just waaay too esoteric.

Ground control to Major [player 1]. Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong.

Added, plus Bowie too.

Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, Gary Johnson, Jill Stein, Obama, Ted Cruz. Oh, and lets throw in Breitbart News, CNN and MSNBC. Lets take this shit overboard.

Deepest Regrets [+]

[player1] cannot find out where Aleppo is.
[player1] is investigated for tax fraud.
[player1] posts a harambe meme.
[player1] destroys [player2] on Twitter.
[player1] sues Kellogg.
[player1] attempts to destroy [player2] with memes. [player2] becomes a meme.

What, you didn't expect me to take us there or something?

That was an efficient post. I like it.

@Vilageidiotx

No problem -- I guess what works in context and what doesn't is pretty subjective. To be perfectly honest, I'm not familiar with any of these 2016 references you guys're making at all, but then I seldom ever show any interest in the mainstream. The only exception is Bernie's bird. Any of the other ones that clicked in my head as recognizable didn't feel like 2016 so much as they felt like something that's been going on for years now (people being obsessed with memes, for example).

I also thought it might be amusing if Clockles got a chance to destroy his creation (or vice versa), but alas it was not meant to be.

Anyway, nothing else to really offer on my end since I try to avoid pop culture.

Could I add some players? Wasn't able to at the Christmas themed version.

Could I add some players? Wasn't able to at the Christmas themed version.

Just follow the rules mentioned above.

The grim reaper


Dat boi


And Nihilego

So I guess we can assume any celebrity who died during 2016 is fair game?

Also, would it be fair to have a waifu return? You had "mai the body pillow" written as waifu during the haloween games, so it's kind of a gray area.

The grim reaper

Dat boi

And Nihilego

I'll accept death because it's easy to make the argument that death was a major player this year.

I'll also accept Dat Boi because that's a pretty solidly 2016 meme.

The last one is esoteric though. Imma swap it with "Pokemon GO" because it's more generally known and enough to generate mainstream news over the summer.

Yeh, a public figure who died in 2016 gets in. They have to be pretty public though, no small-town mayors. Should have been enough to get a brief mention in some nation's national news.

It did get Waifu as a nickname at Halloween... I'll accept it, since it read that way. Waifu is in.

I also went ahead and added Putin. Putin was in multiple games, and he has been a major player in 2016, so he should be in there.

This guy. The one that shot the Russian Ambassador and instantly became a meme because this timeline and universe are broken and all is now governed by memes oh god please end this hell of a world.

Submitting more:

A Basket of Deplorables


Chicago Cubs


Rio di Janeiro (because Olympics)


Gary Johnson


Jill Stein


Fake News


Also if I can throw me into the mix if I'm not in already.

Prince, Gene wilder, and Muhammad Ali are the only celebrity deaths I can think of at the moment that fit the bill.

EDIT: also, Leonardo DiCaprio actually won an Oscar. I think that makes him worthy.

Carrie Fisher/Princess Leia
