Hello all, the next season of the D-Pad Hunger Games is coming soon!
For those who haven't played in this competition before, it is based off of the Hunger Games franchise where contestants fight each other until only one is left standing. There is a simulator built around the Hunger Games franchise which is used to simulate the free for all between teams of contestants, with random events and sometimes even friendly fire.

Dates:
Final day for suggesting guest characters on guest thread: 2ND AUGUST
Final day for choosing guest character co-op partner: 6TH AUGUST
Competition begins: 8TH AUGUST

This season, the theme is 80s vs 90s TV.
In this thread -HERE- anyone can suggest guest characters to include within the competition, as well as react to other people's picks. The 16 most reacted to guest picks, 8 for 80's TV and 8 for 90's TV, will be available as co-op partners for up to 16 D-Pad members who wish to join the competition. D-Pad members will be able to choose 1 guest co-op partner each after the guest characters are chosen, first come, first served. (from 3rd-6th August)

Anyone can join and all they need to do to join this competition is post in this thread before the 3rd of August saying they would like to join, while slots remain. There are 16 slots for D-Pad members (as shown below) and the remaining slots will be displayed below and updated as quickly as possible:
​

To make the competition more interesting, there will also be prizes for the top finishers in the simulated competition. Below will be the prize pool for this round of the D-Pad Hunger Games:

The prizes will be given out after the competition finishes and will be given out through paypal, steam gift cards or D-Pad+ ($5 for a month). Prize winners will be messaged through D-Pad after the conclusion of the competition to specify their preferred prize collection method.

So which side will you be supporting? 80's TV with their high tech and sophisticated styles or 90's TV with its fluorescent colours and cool attitude?

[Vyse]

Give me one of your D-Pad lottery tickets, Apu.

Put me down for the '90s.

 

[brap]

I'll go le 90s

 

[Hostile_18]

90's for me too.

 

[Stilton Disco]

Team 90's. The civilisational peak of the planet.

 

[regawdless]

90s all the way, but because everyone prefers them, I'll whop your asses from the 80s.

 

[HE1NZ]

I'm too dumb to understand the rules. Is it a lottery or you have to do something to win?

 

[Stilton Disco]

I'm too dumb to understand the rules. Is it a lottery or you have to do something to win?

You just put your name down and the Hunger Games simulator automatically runs through each day's events and bloody murders until we're left with the lone survivor who wins.

Whoever wins (or their teammate should all humans die) gets the top prize, then there are smaller prizes for the runners up.

You don't need to do anything more than say you want to be involved.

I'm down for the 80's since everyone seems to prefer the 90's .

 

[Mickmrly]

What Stilton Disco said was right. I would just add that on the 3rd of August everyone gets to choose their teammate, chosen from the most popular choices on the other HG6 thread.

 

[Mickmrly]

[AJUMP23]

[Nikana]

[O-N-E]

I'll take the last 90s spot.

 

[Vyse]

Let's epic pwn those '80s contestants back to their retirement home quickly so they don't miss re-reruns of Magnum, P.I. and Cheers.

We didn't really have Magnum PI reruns much in Australia. There was some on cable but it wasn't from the 80s, it was the new stuff, eww.

 

[Mickmrly]

So with AJUMP23 we have 9 members for team 80s. Now we just need one extra member for team 90s and we are all set for D-Pad members.

Team 80s had a huge resurgence yesterday:

 

[Vyse]

@Melon will you join us?

 

[Melon]

@Melon will you join us?

You know I'm always down for murdering folks, or getting murdered myself, both are a win to me.

 

[Mickmrly]

Thanks for joining Melon, you will be on team 90s. There are still a few more days to vote for the guest characters in the other thread, with the picking of partners beginning on the 3rd (Next Wednesday).

[regawdless]
