Hunger Games Simulator is a neat little thing that does its namesake, using random generation to dictate how the whole thing goes. If you'd like to be put in as a candidate, just post here. Once we're all in I'll run the simulator, take screenshots of the whole thing and maybe add some flavor text, and we'll see who of the lot of us survives the Stickpage Hunger Games!
Though we all know we just want to see if Nish or Exilement survives the longest... ;)
Join if you dare.
Competitors:
-Devour
-Lamitrov
-XxScatterxX
-Stracked
-Crustaceon
-Kazumi
-Squidd
-Drone

We're full now. But if I know you well then I'll make room for you because thats how Stickpage rolls :o
The finished event! Compiled together for easy reading (warning: not easy to read)

Maybe they wanted one last moment of happiness before they died.
Miracle stood away from the others, not sure who to trust and not sure if he even wanted to try anyways. Any allies he would have to kill himself, or be killed by in a moment of vulnerability. So for now he distanced himself away from the others. "At least I still have you." He said to his crow. It squawked once and bobbed its head as it sat perched on his fingers.
In another area, Cybernetic trailed behind a stressed-out ErrorBlender, who could not find the willpower to shove away his newfound companion. "Query: What is this place? What are these 'Hunger Games?'" The robot beeped to his leader.
The more advanced construct replied in smoother, frustrated English. "It's a big gladiator arena. The Hunger Games is an idea from a book, and Stickpage decided to make it real. Now we're here and we'll be forced to kill each other or die off from cold or starvation until only one person's left alive."
"Oh." The other robot whirred, his CPUs processing the words and their implications. After a long pause, there was a ding. "I will do my best not to harm you." He said at last.
All the other competitors sat alone, scared, not sure what to do or who to try and talk to. It would be a long, worrisome wait before they were judged, and before the Stickpage Hunger Games truly began.

And then it did.

"Allies?" Ai was standing next to Miracle when it all began. She was one of the anime squad, draped in impossibly perfect robes that didn't seem to move with the breeze. She looked powerful, like a good ally to have while allies could be spared. He nodded his head. "Well, I know a secret about this place. Take my hand and I'll show you where it is." She reached out. Hopeful and against his better judgement, Miracle complied.
And then Ai pulled him harshly towards her, tripping him. As he fell, smooth arms wrapped underneath his chin and with an impossibly violent jerk she snapped his neck in one smooth motion.
He reappeared at the center of the Cornucopia, horribly disoriented and gasping for breath. Bodies were swarming around him and he had no idea what was going on anymore, only that he was alive. And that there was a large metal shield leaning on the massive statue to his right. He picked it up.
___________________
XxScatterxX was lucky enough to find a basket of bread as he took a courageously brave dash towards the center. Immediately turning around to run into the forest around them, he was met by a striking figure with dark blue hair and dark blue robes, standing in his path with nothing but authority in her posture. Lamitrov.
And then she lashed out with a fist and smashed his nose with a crunch, breaking it and spewing blood onto Scatter's clothes. He fell over with a startled cry of pain, and Lamitrov simply bent over and picked up the basket for herself.
____________________
Melispirit, tentative, had found a basket of bread himself. He had dove pretty deep into the crowds of people to retrieve it, but it looked like he was home free. The food would last him for a while, and from that point on he would be able to find out what to do next...
"That's some delicious-looking food you have there." Drone purred. The twitching of her ears was the only warning he had before a slender, ruthless arm lashed out and crashed into his face, and he was left reeling on the ground as well. Drone left with the basket of food herself.
____________________
Hunkering down, Errorblender stayed at the center of the Cornucopia. His aim was to gather the resources he could, and as such that would be the primary objective. He would have to see how it all played out.
____________________
"Throwing knives?" Drone scooped a small bundle of knives on the ground and placed them into her basket, for lack of a better container to keep them in. "This might be nice to have later."

"You're going to stick close to me, right?" Kazumi asked Devour. Both from the anime squad, they had forged a temporary alliance to better rush into the center and grab what they could.
"Actually, I think we're close enough now. I don't need you anymore."
"W-What? What do you mean?" Kazumi squeaked. She took a step back.
"I mean, you'd better leave before I decide to hurt you." Devour said. Her features turned into something cold and ruthless.
"But Devour--"
"So get the fuck out!" She roared, and with a terrified cry, Kazumi scattered into the forest surrounding them. Sighing, tired, Devour continued towards the center.

"Ah, wonderful." Stracked smiled and bent down, locks of curled hair spilling over her shoulders as she leaned forward to take the three-pointed trident lying on the ground near the center of the Cornucopia. "This will do just nicely!"
"I don't think so. Give me that!" From behind, Crustaceon leaped onto Stracked's back, fingers wrapped tightly around the trident and trying to yank the weapon from her hands. For a moment, the two of them entered a brutal struggle for control as they both knew the winner would easily kill them with the powerful weapon they fought for. With adrenaline pumping through her veins, Stracked curled her body and threw herself roughly backwards, landing on top of Crustaceon and crushing her onto the floor. The breath was forced out of her lungs and her head slammed onto the ground. Her fingers lost grip on the trident, and Stracked easily regained his feet.
And then she stabbed her nemesis three times in the stomach, relishing the screams of pain, and she left her to die.

Zero walked with confidence. A war mace was in his hands, and he feared no one at that moment. He would crush their skulls easily, and he dared anyone to try and take him on now.
He smiled in anticipation as Squidd's strangely-perfect figure ran towards him, her cartoon eyes locked onto his weapon. "Batter up!" He cried, and he swung his mace in a wide arc towards her skull.
Squidd ducked backwards over the blow, closing the distance and raising a vicious a swan kick into his chin with the same motion, sending him stumbling back. "Why you--" Zero recovered and swung wide again, lower this time. With the grace of a predator, Squidd spun over the second blow, and from her spinning form another kick lashed out and crashed onto the top of his head. He fell sprawling backwards and the weapon flew out of his hands. Squidd wasted no time running over to retrieve it...
And then she left just like that, leaving Zero alive to fend for himself. "Ah, god dammit." He spat, shaking the stars from his head.
What was he going to do now?
____________________
That was the first round! If you weren't mentioned, you probably just ran into the surrounding forests. As of now, it's looking like the anime squad is composed of badasses.
I'll probably take a break and compose the next part right after. Stay tuned!

She had laid out a decoy camp in a small clearing of trees, leaving a bit of the food she had gathered there to make the others believe it was real. About ten feet away though, she lied camouflaged within the bushes, waiting for the killing squads to pass her by.
Three people over the course of the night pass over the camp, searching, but not one of them glance upon her hiding spot. With the danger gone, she eventually left safety and began to search for other camps to raid herself.

"You have a shield? Man, I could have used that earlier." Zero said, making his presence known to Miracle, who jerked with a start and brought his defense between the two of them. "Relax, I don't want to hurt you." He said, tired. "I just want to survive the night. Neither of us have a reason to kill each other yet. It's just that two eyes are better than one."
"I guess." Miracle said, relaxing a bit. His guard did not drop, however. "What do you mean you could have used a shield earlier?"
"Well, I had a mace for a little bit." Zero said sheepishly. "But then someone took it from me. Squidd, I think."
Miracle couldn't contain a bark of laughter, but it came out strangely. "Ah, yeah, the anime squad." He chuckled. "They're a lot scarier than they look. One of them got me, too."
Zero gave him a knowing look in return, but said nothing. The two of them began to walk throughout the forest instead, looking for food to last them through the next day.

Squidd and Stracked were a frightening duo; one with a mace and the other with a trident. Their pretty features were forgotten when your eyes dropped down to their weapons, and their very-apparent desire to use them. Two others trailed behind meekly. Melispirit had nothing to offer, and she seemed unaware that she was only there to serve as someone to kill or leave behind if things started to get rough. Lamitrov was there to use the two fighters as a short of shield of safety, holding tight to her basket of bread. She would find a way to kill the two warriors later on, maybe while they slept. But for now they would serve as her protectors...

Frightened, Kazumi saw Zero and Miracle as they walked throughout the forest. For a moment she wondered if she could join them, but quickly decided against it. It was too dangerous. No one could be trusted here.
Instead, she scampered away.

"Why should I let you into my shelter?" Drone demanded of Lamitrov, her ears quivering dangerously. Her hands twitched, ready to reach for her knives.
The blue woman was tired. She had been left behind by the killing squad, and now she had no idea what to do next. "We both have bread baskets." She smiled weakly, raising hers up into view. "There's bands of killers out there. Stracked and Squidd--they both have weapons and now they're just so ready to use them. They've turned into animals." Lamitrov shivered. "I don't think either of us are safe to sleep alone tonight."
Drone stared at her hard, thinking furiously. "You know what, fine. Get in here." She sighed, hoping she wasn't making a mistake. "I don't care what wakes you up. If something does, wake me up as well."
Grateful, Lamitrov nodded. In her exhaustion, she lied down and passed out almost immediately. Drone followed soon after.

Circumstances had caused Zero and Miracle to separate, hiding from the killing squad that roamed the area. He had finally found a place to sleep and set up camp, and moments after letting out one long sigh, a figure emerged to his right. "I like your fire. It looks warm." Squidd leered, grinning, her mace held in plain sight. "I think I'll take that from you as well."
"You again!" Zero cursed, rising to his feet. "I'll put this fire out before I let you have it. Just go away."
"That's a good argument." Squidd pretended to consider for a moment. "But I think I'd rather--"
Before she could even react, Zero had surged forward in one motion and he swung his fist, which crashed straight into Squidd's nose, who fell back with a startled cry, falling to her knees. "You're going to regret that!" She sputtered. "I think you may have forgotten that I have your--OOF!" Zero's boot slammed into her side, and she stumbled away with an arm to her torso, sputtering and struggling to breath.
"Get the fuck out of here." Zero said. And the whimpering Squidd complied.

Errorblender is stuck fast into a vicious bramble of thorns. While he hid from the others, watching, it was with an agonizing awakening that he realized that he was stuck, pierced through a thousand different places by thorns that kept him tethered within the brambles. Every movement sent waves of agony throughout his body like Hell had opened up and swallowed him whole. It was torment and he was stuck, and it seemed like there was no escape. Every second that passed by felt like an hour of unbearable pain. His throat was raw from screaming until he had screamed no more.
He begged for death, and for release from the pain.
A small part of him refused to give up, though. He wasn't going to accept his fate. He wasn't going to die. With a roar, ErrorBlender pushed against the ground with his feet and struggled forwards, feeling his skin tear itself as he forced himself through the thorns. He eventually pulled himself free, bleeding horribly as his pain increased to levels that before he had thought impossible, and all he could do was lie in a heap on the ground, quivering in a puddle of his own blood.
But he was still alive.

Sprinting through the forest, apparently, is not a good idea. As Ai looked back her right foot caught onto a root and she was sent crashing into the ground. She slid across the soil painfully, lucky not to have broken any bones, but her wrist felt sprained from the failed attempt of catching herself while going so fast. She tried to scramble to her feet and found that her ankle had been twisted too.
And Squidd was coming ever-closer.
"Geeze, you could have just let me get you. You weren't gonna get away." Squidd said, annoyed. "Now stay still if you want this to take just one hit instead of two or three."
Ai could only shiver as sheer terror made her h
