These rules are from hungergamesRpg.com
1. The Reaping
-Tributes will be selected by a random generator. Older tributes and tributes with tessera will have a greater chance of being reaped.
-You will have two days to post in the reaping. If you do not respond to the reaping thread and you are selected, you will be marked as inactive and a volunteer tribute will be selected.
-If your character is chosen, you may choose to enter the games, or step down and allow someone to volunteer.
-Volunteering is a first come, first serve system. Once someone steps down to allow volunteering and a staff member verifies, the first person to post accepting it will be given he spot.
-Please do not post offering to volunteer before the selected tribute(s) get the chance to post. Do not post offering to volunteer unless the tribute indicates that they are possibly interested in being replaced.
-Bullying, pressuring, bribing, or blackmailing a selected tribute in order to get them to step down and let a volunteer take there place will absolutely not be tolerated. Any instances of this will result in a one week ban from the site, as well as an automatic disqualification for any of the member’s characters for the next two Hunger Games.
-Members need at least two paragraphs of decent length to volunteer. This is a roleplaying site, and we expect a post of some quality.
-If you step down from your place as a tribute in one district, you are not allowed to volunteer in another. However, if you have multiple characters in one district, it is acceptable to have one take the place of another.
-Members who have been in the past two consecutive Games must wait 24 hours before volunteering, or until the Head Gamemaker says they may.
-Victors from previous games may not win any Games they enter afterwards.
-Members may only have 1 tribute in the Games at a time.
2. Training, Training Stations, and Training Scores
-The training center will be open for five days to roleplay, which may involve making enemies and alliances, if so desired.
-During this time, tributes must PM both their training station selections and their private sessions to the Head Gamemaker.
-Private sessions are simply a single in-character roleplay post in which the tribute displays their skills for the Gamemakers. Must have at least 2 paragraphs.
-Tributes will receive a training score from 1 to 12 based on how well they did in their private session.
3. Training Stations
-Tributes may take a maximum of three training sessions, which will give them different abilities in the Arena. See the designated Training Stations thread under Hunger Games Information for a list of which stations are available and what abilities they offer.
-In order to do specific tasks in-game, you MUST have completed the necessary training station to obtain the ability. See Training Stations thread for more detail.
-You must send your three choices of training station to the Head Gamemaker before you send your private session.
4. Interviews
-You may post your tribute interview on the designated thread as soon as you have submitted your private training session and received a score.
-Interviews are mandatory, and must contain at least five questions in the interview.
-You may post your interview in a question-answer format or actually RP the interview.
5. Alliances
-Alliances should be declared on the designated thread at the beginning of the Games, as well as each time the alliance is updated (member joins, member leaves.) Alliances do not have to be declared as updated when a member dies.
-Alliance members will not be mandated to fight one another until the alliance splits or until only eight tributes remain in the Arena. If needed, alliances may break earlier at GM discretion.
-Alliances may consist of no more than six tributes.
-Due to the nature of the Games, alliances are not permanent.
-If a tribute is mandated to fight, they may not add to their alliance until after the fight. Any additions to alliances will take effect the next day.
-Tributes should take note that being in an alliance will increase a tribute's vulnerability to muttation attacks, and may have other consequences.
6. Combat
Mandatory Fights
-A certain number of fights will be mandated daily by the Gamemakers, based on location.
-Only members already in an alliance with the tribute(s) designated to fight may participate.
-If a thread is created for a mandated fight, but no fighting starts, the tributes who do not post will be killed. If no thread is even created to fight, both parties will be killed.
-Mandated fights must end in at least one death.
-Fights not completed in one Games Day may carry on to the next, without end-of-day healing in between.
-Tributes with broken or missing legs, feet, knees, etcetera may not flee at all. Severed limbs count for all fights; broken limbs count for fights on the same day. That is, a tribute with their foot broken on Day 2 could flee on Day 3, but a tribute with their foot severed on Day 2 couldn't flee on Day 3 or any of the subsequent days.
-If you post out of the established turn order, your post will not count (e.g. no damage will count). You must then post in the correct order for your attack to count.
-A posting order will be established for all mandated fights based on a first come, first serve basis. Even after a death, posting order still applies for the mandated fight thread.
Fighting.
-The head GM will create the mandated Fight Thread.
-Each tribute participating may make one introduction post. After the introduction post, the tributes may begin fighting. Introduction posts may be skipped in Mandated Fights only if the Stealth training station has been taken. In non-mandated fights, intro posts are not required.
-The tribute attacking RPs their post as they normally would.
-To make an attack, PM the head GM for an attack order. I will then tell you your attack. Please understand I will not always be on and will add admins as the site goes on.
- On Day 1, as with the Bloodbath, a tribute can only be attacked six times between their own posts.
-PLEASE NOTE: Any tribute attempting to stall (see below) in any fight will face serious consequences determined by a Gamemaker.
Stalling: Deliberately delaying your post in a fight for an extended period of time for any reason, commonly to ensure your tribute’s survival or the death of another.
Judging of Fights.
-All injuries knock down health points of each individual tribute.
-Each Tribute has 40 health points. Each attack will subtract health points away from the total score, which is normally 40. If a tribute's health reaches 0, the tribute is considered dead. The tribute may post one last post (called a death post) and then dies.
-Each battle post will include a description of the injury and the number of damage inflicted at the end of the post.
The Bloodbath and Feasts
-In order to be considered an active part of the Games, ALL tributes must make an introduction post at the Bloodbath within the designated time period.

-All tributes who will be involved in the Feast in any way must make an opening post, in the same manner as the Bloodbath.

-Tributes who have not made their introductory posts cannot be attacked in the Bloodbath.
-In the Bloodbath and Feasts, tributes must wait for at least three other people to post in between their own posts. If a tribute is in an alliance of four, they must wait for one person outside of their alliance to post before they can continue.
-Tributes may not attack in their fleeing posts.
-Tributes with any part of their leg severed cannot flee unless they have the help of another tribute, who must also flee. When a tribute has a part of their leg broken, they may flee with three fleeing posts or may be carried out by an ally.
-"Generic Attack Posts" are completely, positively, 100% prohibited in the Bloodbath. All posts must adhere to site standards.
-Once fled, a tribute cannot re-enter the Bloodbath.
-Stations are not valid during the Bloodbath, except First Aid upon fleeing. This means self defense, blades, etc. will take affect after the tribute has left the bloodbath.
Healing
-At the end of each games day, tributes are each healed 10 HP. This does mend broken bones or severed limbs.
-Items may be used at any time that heal a tribute. If used during a fight, they cannot attack during the post they use the item.

8. Muttations/Animals
-Capitol muttations will be present in the arena.
-Some muttations will be included in battles/surprise events that affect your tribute.
