B!tchfest: a healthy release for our non-roleplay annoyances.

<Snipped quote by Vilageidiotx>

Really? you need to watch this, doggo.

@Dynamo Frokane

wat? when where we talking about this?

Either way I don't watch videos of dudes ranting about their politics on youtube, don't matter if I agree with them or not. I just find the entire thing grating and unpleasant, like listening to a drunk uncle rant about politics at thanksgiving.

Hunger Games: Happy Holidays Edition

HAHAHA, oh Shoryu. I take it you won't be adding that particular champion to the champion's games? I'm actually surprised so many of the winners were RPG users.

@BrokenPromise

I dunno how to do it actually. I guess I could always ask him.

Also, more were RPG users because the first games were mostly for RPG users. I think it was the third games where Aaron also allowed fictional characters?

This has actually inspired me to run the same thing on a private forum. I'm thinking about copying all the vanilla ones and making a template so that I can switch things up easier. Entering them in one at a time is a bother, but it's worth it I think.

@BrokenPromise

This is what I do.

Back when I did the Fourth of July Games, I copied all the defaults onto notepad files, one for each section (day, night, day-fatal, night fatal, etc) and rewrote them. Now when I go to do some games, I copy the Fourth of July rewrites, paste them in another folder for the new Hunger Games, and rewrite those. Then I go to the website, delete all the default events and enter in the rewritten ones one by one. It's the fatal events that suck, because for each one you need to specify who dies and who kills. The non-fatal events are easy since you only have to specify how many people are in them.

That takes four or five hours. Now, I'm a lazy motherfucker, so I am not sitting there all focused while entering them, I usually watch movies or TV on my second screen, so some of that four or five hours is me being distracted. Either way, complete rewrites are some work and it'll probably be a few months before I do one again.

When you do that you better fucking save the website too. That's what foxes had trouble with. When you save the website, you have to copy the new save code or there is a good goddamn chance you'll lose everything. So when I am done doing whatever on the website, I copy the save code url and replace my bookmark link with it. That's important because if you don't do that you'll lose everything easily enough.

After that, you add your people and you are good to go. Adding people is easy as fuck too. Bing is actually better for image searches than google btw, since you can specify the shape of the images and you want them square. That's largely why I don't use most people's images they submit - I want me a square image if possible.

Then after that I run the games until I find a glitch in what I wrote, like I forgot to kill somebody (keep a notepad file in the background making sure the kills line up with what is reported for this reason), or the most common for me, I forget to designate a number of people for a non-fatal event and it defaults to one. If I have a glitch I go back and fix it, then I start the games over by opening edit characters and then quickly saving it. I'll keep running through the games until I reach the end with no glitches, and the one I end is the one I keep.

Then it's all about print-screening them bit by bit into paint files and save them numbered 1 to whatever. Usually there is only about 35 or so, though this time the games ran sorta long and we ended up with 50ish images.

That's the how-it's-made anyway, if any of that is useful for your attempts.

One weird trick that will win you any argument.

I thought it was calling your opponent a nazi or communist.

@Buddha

You get extra points if you call them both, ideally in the same sentence.

Hunger Games: Happy Holidays Edition

I think what made me stop doing them was when I went to do the Back to School version and wanted to do what Vilage did on the one before mine: delete all the old events and replace them with theme-fitting ones. When I went to go do that I discovered a whole world of tedium so I just sorta didn't do it.

@Dinh AaronMk

Yeh, it's absolutely like pulling teeth for several hours. Something masochistic about me taking something like Hunger Games, which normally only takes about an hour to do, and adding a four or five hour chore to it. But we just kept having holidays I thought would be great with nothing but custom events so I kept doing that to myself.

I think imma just add events on top of the defaults for the New Years Games, since it makes sense to have the classics make an appearance. There isn't really any cool holidays the first half of the year so, assuming I keep doing these, I'm probably not going to do complete rewrites. The only holiday with enough going on with it would be Valentines Day, so maybe February would be worth a rewrite. I dunno. But the others? What happens in January? Martin Luther King Day? And what else is there until the Fourth? Easter? What the fuck you do with Easter?

The way I think i'll do new years one is i'll add 2016 events on top of the default, and i'll let people go back and pick out favorite events from the old games if they want (History, Fourth of July, Summer, Halloween, and Christmas had custom).

I finally have a decent PC

Good show Vilageidiotx! Looking folward to next time.

This was my first time spectating these games. How long have you been doing this? You're quite good at commentary.

@BrokenPromise

Aaron started doin them here about this time last year. He did them at first, then I did one and people liked it so we started alternating in the summer, then he got bored of them in the fall and I started doing them.

Imma drop a bunch of links on you know because imma really want them in a couple of weeks and there is nothing easier than just being able to go back to the last thread and grab them. So listed below is the Spam Hunger Games Anthology.

This is the first two games Aaron did. HaleytheRandom won the first and Chapatrap won the second.

This is the third one done by Aaron. Phantom of the Opera won.

The Election Year Games was the first one I did, and the first one with a hard theme. Mr Rogers won.

Aaron's next run was the History themed games, which marked the first time custom events were added. Not So Rare Trump Pepe won.

My second was the Fourth of July games, which is the first time all of the events were customized. Betty White won.

Aaron then did the Summer Games. Clocktower Echoes won.

Next I did the Halloween Games. Shoryu Magami won, despite having been legitimately mad he was added in the first place.

On top of that there are three others. This all sorta started when Aaron did a Hunger Games in the OOC of our RP using our RP characters, making the Precipice Games sorta the first one, just not the first Spam one, so I am not counting its winner as a champion. The other two were false starts. First, Foxes took a whack at doing some games, but he wasn't used to how awkward the BrantSteele website is and he lost it all, so we never got close to the finish. The last weird one was when Aaron started a Back to School games in September, in which he collected the tributes but never actually started the Games, making an even falser start.

So that's the long and short of it. I'm collecting this list because the next games will involve those eight official winners, plus forty people collected the normal way except for some stricter rules (probably something like they either had to have appeared twice in previous games, or they have to be a person closely associated with 2016).

Hunger Games: Happy Holidays Edition

This is it, the last post of the holiday games. Time to settle down with some mood music, roast your chestnuts, and place your bets, because only one person is coming out of this alive.



Baby Jesus really fucking likes cookies. He killed Papa Smurf for some last time, and now he makes his own. Will anything on heaven or earth satisfy his unnatural hunger?

Ursula's womanly wiles apply to lizard-things, and she convinces Bowser to help her slay Dr Light. A fruitcake to the heart of this is-he isn't-he snow beast does it, and Dr Light is out of the running. Now there are only four.

Cynder hums a creepy song. She has goodwill, she has good cheer, can she turn these things into good murder?



What is Cynder's game plan? She takes Bowser away from Ursula and shows him how to bake. What is in the crust? What can it do? Cynder has been a capable player thus far, so I suspect she has something up her sleeve.

Baby Jesus must not have stopped at stealing cookies when he plundered the corpse of Papa Smurf. The amount of alcohol Papa carried was more than enough to knock the feet from under a bull elephant, so naturally it finishes off an infant. Jesus's death means this Christmas is no longer about him.

Ursula eats turkey. She is running out of men, Bowser being temporarily in the service of Cynder, and Jesus being dead. Turkey will substitute.



Jesus and the Doctor are gone. That leaves us with Bowser, Ursula, and Cynder.



Ursula quietly hums to herself, and Bowser wonders openly about his relationship with he holidays.

Cynder, however, is taken out of the game by a brutal gangland wassailing.

That means it is time, folks. Two contestants yet draw breath, Ursula and Bowser. Who will it be? Ponder that. Bounce the question around in your head a bit. Will the seductive Ursula prove that other skills can be applied to the game? Or will it be Bowser, who after killing Krampus on the second day laid low until the end of the games when he came out as an unexpected power player?

Make your guess, then click the hider below.

The Winner!

The blood freezes on the eleventh night, and the twelfth day of Christmas dawns on Bowser, the lone winner of the holiday games. I think we've learned an important lesson here: seduction and sexuality have limited powers against unidentified reptile beings.

This means that Bowser will join those lucky few who will fight at the end of the month in our Championship round. Check Spam sometime right after Christmas to see Bowser, Mr Rogers, Not So Rare Pepe Trump, and others compete against a more restricted nominee pool in what will be one of the more specialized and unique attempts at Hunger Games.

Stats

Hunger Games: Happy Holidays Edition

We've reached the penultimate episode. Nine of our forty eight contestants still survive. Half of them will die this day.



Bowser sleeps soundly through the night despite the sound of Baby Jesus and Clint talking just outside his door.

Ursula convinces a drunken Papa Smurf to return Christmas to its Christmas origins, and the lech goes along Clirkus Lane defacing all the signs.

The Elvenqueen and Cynder, our last surviving RPG tributes, share a figgy pudding.

Dr Light and Woody Guthrie also talk TV, talking until the sun comes up on day 8.



Ursula arms herself for the final show-down.

The game has called Elvenqueen plump, and now it calls her mean, though to be honest I never got either of those things from her character. I think the game is bullying her.

Baby Jesus finds Papa Smurf defacing signs in his name and, unimpressed, kills him for some cookies.

Cynder is pretty happy, as soon will be Woody once his pie is done.

Dr Light tries to take out Bowser, but his icicle attack is imprecise and he leaves Clint dead on the ground.



Papa Smurf got farther then he deserved. Clint too was never an exciting contestant. With these two down, there are only seven more survivors.



The Elvenqueen and Cynder, our two RPG survivors, do seem to have struck up a friendship, and they share a shelter.

Bowser has forgiven Dr Light for his attempted murder, and they've teamed up with the little gangsta who killed Papa Smurf in order to kill Woody Guthrie. Six more survive.

Ominously, watching it all from a distance, Ursula quietly hums jingle bell rock and plans her next move.



The game really does hate The Elvenqueen, and it kills her in a bloody wassail.

Cynder, Bowser, and the Baby Jesus take an unexpected break and decorate the depopulated halls one last time.

Ursula gets five rings. Knowing her play style, these are likely five seperate marriage proposals.

Dr Light gets his shopping done, apparently so sure he will survive that he goes about his business as if the games are already done.



Two more down. Five people survive now: Baby Jesus, Ursula, Bowser, Dr Light, and Cynder. One of these will be our champion, and will go on to fight in the New Year championship round at the end of the month. Who will it be? That will be revealed next time, in the last post of the Holiday Games.

What are you guys planning on getting me for Christmas?

Can't I have eight or nine identical things instead?
