27TH GAME CALENDAR Memes/Introductions - Begins Tuesday May 8th. Holds close on May 12th. Day 1 (May 10th) - The Day Before the Reaping, The Game Opens at 12:01 AM the day before The Reaping to allow people more time to do Tribute narratives at home. There will be a Capitol Broadcast reminding people that attendance at tomorrow's Reaping will be mandatory. The Tributes do not as of yet know they have been selected. Tributes do not have a Journal until after the reaping. Please remember with the journals there are no completely locked comments, perse. Or rather you can direct or lock something to a particular party or parties but keep in mind the Capitol monitors any and all interaction on the "Network" so someone, somewhere is reading what you write. Tributes especially will be monitored for fraternization on the journals with Tributes from other Districts. A blind eye is turned to simple and basic interactions, however any serious or intimate discourse will be frowned on by the Capitol. While there is no actual consequence for this action at the time, keep in mind that angering the Gamemakers could effect whether or not your player gets supplies and items from their Sponsors in a timely manner. Tributes can interact with Tributes from other Districts in the Training logs, provided that they are relatively discrete. Obviously this is less a moderator decree than keeping in spirit with what we see in the Hunger Games books. Day 2 (May 11th) - The Reaping. The results will be announced live in the town square. A game post for this will go up at approximately 9 PM EST. Tributes will receive access to an electronic device with access to the Network once they board the train and may begin interacting with their Counterparts, Mentors and Escorts via the journals. Day 3 (May 12th) - Arrival in the Capitol. Tributes will meet their Stylists and their Prep teams in preparation for the presentation ceremony in the evening. The Procession and Presentation ceremony will be a game wide log that will be posted in the Capitol Community. Please feel free to have individual logs with your stylists/team/etc during the day leading up to the event. Day 4 (May 13th) - Training Begins. Each day of training, a Gamemaker post will be made briefly explaining the training focus for the day. For ease, instead of having all training stations open at once, there will be approximately four different stations open per day for the first four days of training. Training Scores depend on participation in training. This does not have to be extensive and it is sufficient to say in several sentences what your character did, how they trained, and who they may have interacted with. The post will also be a place to log with other tributes to help build alliances. Each day your Tribute participates, they will receive a point. If they do not participate they will lose a point. (See the FAQ for details). However, your comments on the entry MUST be timestamped within twenty four hours of the original time the Training Session Post takes place. This is to encourage real time participation and to prevent players from going back and spamming the training posts on the last day of training in order to get points. Day 5-7 (May 14th- May 16th) - Daily Training Sessions. Day 8 (May 17th) - Final Training Session. This is where you can show the Gamemakers what your character is really capable of and all players are encouraged to participate in this session in a short narrative form. In the evening a Capitol Broadcast will display the Character's Training Scores. Day 9 (May 18th) - Interview in the Evening. Day 10 (May 19th) - Open Day Day 11 (May 20th) - Open Day. Tributes depart in the Evening for an unknown destination and travel via hovercraft. The flight is nearly 12 hours. Day 12 (May 21st) They arrive in the early morning hours and are prepared for the Arena. The Cornucopia will begin officially at approximately 9PM EST. Day 13 - Day 26 (May 22nd - June 4th) - Hunger Games (Estimate). Sponsor Bucks Schedule All Times Start and End in EST Day 27 - Day 28 (June 4th - 6th) - Hunger Games Wrap Up. Victor Departs.
