1st Annual Hunger Games

*“After the war years, the Capitol decided to establish The Hunger Games. Each of the 12 Districts that make up the nation of Panem, must send a boy and a girl between 12 and 18 years old to fight to the death, until they raise a winner. ”*

The 1st Annual Sims Hunger Games were the first games led by Panem's first President: Patrizzia Overwing.

Being the first games, they had a great reception among the citizens of Panem, who supported their favorite tributes, voting on the bets and sending gifts for their survival..

After 4 days where the tributes fell one by one, it was finally Percei Tanute, the Female Tribute from District 4, who rose as the first Victor of Panem.

## The Arena

For the first Games, the Arena was a Cavern.

In the center of a small lake (no really deeper) was the Cornucopia that was filled with a total of ten backpacks with survival supplies (water, food, knife, match, rope ...) and a wide variety weapons (axes, trident, bow, spears, swords ...)

In the arena they could find different areas such as an abandoned camp, a well, the entrance to an old mine or a lagoon located north of the Arena. In some of these areas they could find important supplies or even weapons.

The cave walls were really high, and there were some elevated areas that could only be reached by climbing.

To give this possibility, this year in The Cornucopia there were some climbing kits that the tributes could get.

### Food and Water

Being a dark and humid cave, the food was really scarce. There was no type of animal that tributes could hunt for food. Instead they could find:

* Pryopshia: An algae that grows between rocks in wet areas. Edible.
* Bisporus Polae: A very common fungus in rocky areas. It is highly toxic. If ingested, it causes hallucinations and death after 48 hours.

The water in the Arena is contaminated and, unless it were purufyed before drinking, it generate poisoning that could kill the tribute in 48 hours. The only point of driking water is the Dry Well (confusing name).

For that reason it was essential for the tributes to be sponsored with food and water. Surprisingly, any tribute die for starving or thirst in these games.

### Arena Events

To celebrate the first games, the Gamemakers wanted to save some surprises for the audience. In total there were three events:

* The Mutts: *Inside the Abandoned Mine, one of the Capitol Mutations resides. A predatory beast. Fast, with sharp claws ans rooting teeth. It gives off a giggle that can alert the tributes to it presence, but they had better run. If not, it will be too late. -* The Mutts event was activated in the second day, and it cost the death of one tribute (Male District 7).

* The Collapse: *The rocky walls of the cave wobble, a series of explosives detonate the ceiling of the cave, and huge stones falls on the tributes. -* The Collapse Event was activated in the third day, and it cost the death of three tributes (Male District 3, Male District 11 and Male District 12).
* The Tsunami: *The ground begind to shake, and the tributes realize that the water level in the lagoon increase every second. In a few minutes the entire cave will be flooded, and they mus hurry to climb to the highest point (Rocky Plain) if they don't want to drown.* - The Tsunami Event was activated in the fourth day, and with it the gamemakers expected to reunite the last tributes. There was no death.

## The Reaping

The 1st Annual Hunger Games' Reaping tribute's score was 8,125.

The highest score was awarded to the winner, the female from District 4. She scored 11/12 with her trident skill.

The districts with the highest average score were District 2 and District 6, both with a score of 10/12.

## Alliances

### The Careers

District 1, District 2, and District 4 receive pregame training in their home districts. This makes tributes much more prepared and with more possibilities of surviving in the Games.

This causes an alliance to be generated between the tributes of these districts, known as The Careers.

During the week of training on Capitol, Ally (Female District 2) and Percei (Female District 4) had a fight, prompting Percei to decide to face the Games on their own.

On the other hand, Lennon (Male District 9) knew how to gain the trust of The Careers, and obtained a position in their alliance.

The Careers alliance was formed by:

* District 1 Female - Garnette Dumbey
* District 1 Male - Bastion Calprow
* District 2 Female - Ally Pierceton
* District 2 Male - Axel Brownn
* District 4 Male - Kale Norwand
* District 9 Male - Lennon Barley

### Alliance Lowlight

During the training week, Halsey (Female District 10) observed the fights that Bastion (Male District 1) had with William (Male District 5) and Parker (Male District 7). She took advantage of that to propose an alliance against The Careers.

In turn, Halsey added Kernelle (Female District 8) with whom she had a good relationship.

Parker felt brotherly protection towards his District partner, so he also joined Farrah (Female District 7) in the alliance.

The Lowlight Alliance was formed by:

* District 5 Male - William Norton
* District 7 Female - Farrah Steanton
* District 7 Male - Parker Ferrusson
* District 8 Female - Kernelle Latwon
* District 10 Female - Halsey Jopper

### Bloody Lovers

Lovers of District 6, or better known as Bloody Lovers. From the beginning they avoided having contact with any of the other tributes so as not to create bonds of friendship that would prevent them from defending each other. A love that saw its end at The Arena.
The Bloody Lovers Alliance was formed by:

* District 6 Female - Kamora Flux
* District 6 Male - Aeron Campwell

### Alliance Slumies

The tributes from the lower Districts found mutual support to face the games. They were disowned by the other tributes, so they decided to join forces to try to survive in the Arena. Still, they decided to leave Gaia (Female District 12) out of the alliance, as they saw that she was too unstable a girl.
The Slumies Alliance was formed by:

* District 11 Female - Sauya Torneo
* District 11 Male - Basil Melippe
* District 12 Male - Asher Down

## The 1st Annual Sims Hunger Games

### Day 1

The Bloodbath kicks off the Games, and the tributes try to get the most weapons and supplies from the center of the Cornucopia. Garnette (Female District 1) debuts the first death, killing Helsey (Female District 10) with the bow.

A total of eight deaths take place in the Bloodbath, and among them that of Kale (Male District 4) who although belongs to the alliance of The Careers, is assassinated by Axel (Male District 2) when he considers him too weak not to to be able to kill the District 8 tribute when trying to escape.

After Day 1, sixteen tributes remain in the Arena.

### Day 2

The day with the fewest deaths during the Games. A total of three deaths. One of them was Parker (Male District 7) who was killed by the mutt when he and his district partner were inspecting the abandoned Mine.

Some of the tributes receive their first gifts from the sponsors, as is the case of Farrah (Female District 7) who receives an ax from a sponsor.

After Day 2, thirteen tributes remain in the Arena.

### Day 3

At the beginning of the third day, the Arena Collapse takes place. Due to the cave rocks collapse, three tributes are killed: Crowde (Male District 3) falling from a high ledge, and the remaining two tributes of the Slumies Alliance: Basil (Male District 11) and Asher (Male District 12 ), which are crushed by the rocks when they do not find a refuge.

During the day, two more murders occur: the two tributes from District 5.

After Day 3, eight tributes remain in the Arena.

### Day 4

The last day of the Arena had seven deaths. It was an unexpectedly premature end, as the Games were thought to last at least another day or two.

Massie (Female District 9) was the first to die that day when she was killed by Garnette (Female District 1), who found her hidden in the Cornucopia.

Immediately afterwards, Teselia (Female District 3) killed Garnette and Axel (Male District 2) at the same time when she threw an unexploded explosive at them that she had obtained from the cave Collapse the previous day. Still, Ally (Female District 2), as the last living tribute from The Careers, killed her with her spear.

Only four tributes remain alive, and to collect them, gamemakers spawn a cave flood that forces tributes to scale the cave walls to the only higher place that would not flood.

The four succeed, and the final battle begins where it is finally Percei (Female District 4) who gets the victory, after killing Ally (Female District 2) and Farrah (Female District 7).
