Apparently there is a hunger games Survival map!
Where you kill and survive just like the movie!
Could we have a competition like this?
Like, only for some few hours we could play in this map,
and the winner would win some amazing stuff?
I don't know, up to Daniel.

It'd be difficult. We'd have to turn the map offline for about an hour, you'd have to install admin plugins (maybe) and you would have to handpick 12 contestants and a few others as gamemakers. (I would suggest starting with the users active on the forums as they would see this)

Just trying to add some insight. Oh yeah and you'd have to set a time and hope most show up.

Also, nice hijack of my signature gummy.

You have to get enough participants to have enough time to play. This is going to be a period of time when a lot of people are available. In other words, a time when they would be normally playing. Which means a time when people would want to play on the server. You would have to take down the server during a time when people are available.
I tend to dislike attempts at mimicking scheduled events. It works on streams because they have time to prepare, a large player pool, and the resources. Doesn't work when there are so few people with no available spare servers.
One way to get more support is to provide a server. Not suggest to take down the server, install all the new plugins, run it with an active admin, then remove the plugins and reload the old world. I think that even requires him to have physical access to the server.


Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity, but don't rule out malice.

I spent ages writing an argument against that pic. Then I accidentally deleted it...
Long story short, while it shares similarities the origins, storyline, and characters are completely different.

Also.. Here are some lines from Peeta omitted from the film and book.

Only kill I got in the hunger games was accidental.

You can hunt and shoot a bow? Oh, well I can ice cakes and burn bread.

Katniss dropped a wasps nest on me! It was a gesture of love!
