Hunger Games Simulator - Trouble Cube Edition

[Billy5545]

We are opening the first ever suggestion period to determine the theme for the first Player-Voted Themed Season in Season 10 or Season 11, depending on when the first TC HGS Christmas Season happens.

You can see the full detail on how it works in the thread OP, but a troubadour can suggest up to five themes.

I will start with my suggestions:

• Heroes vs Villains
  
• Earth vs Sky
  
• Fire vs Water
  
• Scientists
  
• Unexpected Tributes (tributes that you wouldn't typically nominate)
  

[PowerStroke6001]

Name's the Same Season
Nerd Season
Sibling Season

[Whistle]

• OCs and Sonas
  
• Pets
  
• Disney/Pixar
  
• Anime
  
• Food
  

[Oggy123]

• Pink Season
  
• Magic vs Science Season
  
• Feline Season
  
• Ice Season
  
• Tiny vs Big Season
  

[MisterJake]

My ideas include-

Water Season
Pirates Season
Assassins Season
Season of Peters
Season of Morgans

For the last two, name variants of Peter and Morgan shall be allowed.

[HypeKitty1]

Princess season
Hero Season 
Fairy Season 
School Season

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

Sitcom season
Tabletop game season
Corporate branding season

[TheSleepyDreepy45]

Bob Season (Characters named some form of Bob/Robert)
Plant Season (Plants or plant characters)
Big/Small Season (nominate one BIG character and one tiny character)
Object Season (inanimate Objects)
Time Season (characters associated with time/clocks/time travel/etc.)

[wingedcatgirl]

Sus season (characters who, in their source material, are or are accused of being impostors or spies or the like)

[Kennifer]

* Purple Season
* Zodiac Season (characters associated with Western Zodiac and/or Eastern Zodiac signs) why no I'm not suggesting this just to see who nominates Homestuck trolls don't be ridiculous :P
* Ghost Season

[PowerStroke6001]

As my Christmas gift for y'all, I've sent the pics and save to Sylvi! Whistle's cohosting, but we still need confirmation if she's still up to it so Sylvi can pass them to her.

EDIT: Also sent them to Whistle!

Also, I'd like to ask the HGS mods to set up the themed season poll since we're only three seasons away from Season 10, our first scheduled themed season. Thanks!

[Whistle]

INTRO MUSIC: "Christmas Wrapping" - The Waitresses

Ho-ho-ho! Merry Happy! Today on SNL live, we are celebrating the holidays the only way we can!

BY SENTENCING PEOPLE TO THEIR DEATHS!

In case you haven't heard, I am Whistle, the mostest hostess to come along in the history of this game! We have a wonderful assortment of tributes today, so we may as well meet them all today!

THE REAPING

Tributes

We have a mid-sized 48 tributes today, from a variety of sources! Here are some of my favorites.

• Gene Belcher has had a reputation for being a major winner across tons of games, and even has gotten quite a few kills in himself!
  
• Husband-and-wife Bundys Al and Peg come today, hoping to take their tumultuous marriage and use it to their advantage!
  
• Seong Gi-hun coming fresh off the heels of the mysterious Squid Games, where he emerged as 2021's very own winner! Hopefully he lasts a while; I selected him myself!
  
• Coming straight from Wii Sports, it's the great Matt, well known for his prowess in boxing, golf, tennis, baseball, and bowling! If only that athleticism paid off elsewhere!
  
• My cohost has sent in its own tributes, one of which being Orby! They... they look kind of disturbing, which I'm sure they'll put to good use as they cause heart attacks on the battleground!
  
• What a laugh, Bo Burnham himself is here! The comedian well known for his film Inside is taking his skills Outside to gain possibly a few new fans. I'm sure he's gonna slay!
  
• And finally, Cheyenne takes a stand and nominates... cans of Ravioli and Beefaroni. Sponsored by Campbell's soup, for a hearty Christmas... snowman-melty... thing!
  

So, without further ado, let the games begin, in 3... 2... 1...!

BATTLE MUSIC: "Carol of the Bells" - Traditional, arr. Trans-Siberian Orchestra

THE BLOODBATH
postimg 1, 2

bloody hell!

• Right away, we see Fido Dido displaying cowardice... and Del displaying cowardice IN STYLE!
  
• Reality-warping Beefaroni!
  
• Eliwood and Jose discussing citrus, but it turns out it's going all damn wrong! Though I never understood how lemon juice is disgusting; I'm allergic!
  
• Chiaki and Bonus Boss Z giving each other a bit of cooperative spirit, aren't they? Or is it competitive?
  
• Tron taking the easy route.
  
• FIRST BLOOD!! Orby held Jay-Ten's life by the backpack straps! Wowie, what a play!
  
• Gumball Cookie displaying his fun spirit, taking advantage of some hole in the cornucopia for some reason!
  
• Calvin has the Bortles spirit!
  
• Another quick slay! For all of Matt's sports expertise, he was no match for Jolyne's well-honed fencing skills!
  
• Kaneda quickly arming himself not with plasma, but with flint and wood!
  
• Marisha is pretty angry for some reason; angry enough to wound Missingno with her mug's shards!
  
• It looks like tributes are making their own bets! Wy-Six and Panchito taking themselves a bit too seriously!
  
• Carbide displaying self-preservative spirit!
  
• Mel, statistically speaking, your premonition does not look good... But we'll see. We'll see.
  
• Heavy D! is acting against self-preservative instincts!
  
• DOUBLE KILL! Jade, Gene, and Ninian getting themselves in a squabble. But oh look, Jade somehow wins against the two! Poor Gene!
  

• Accidentally substance-abusing Ravioli. Don't worry, Chef don't judge.
  
• Yaz thinks ahead for her own future and others, taking herself a first aid kit!
  
• Pengum displaying a lack of confidence!
  
• Tombstone picks a right choice... and now with all of their stuff taken care of, there's a shapeshifting band to deal with!
  
• You have Tron's sword. And Kaneda's bow. And Neil's... sword.
  
• Arepo doing a dirty deed, employing major reverse psychology on Diluc! A true Kingpin move, if I do say so myself!
  
• ...And Neil's sword. And Unlucky's mace... no wait, now it's Jeli's mace.
  
• Gi-hun is smart enough to know when to fold 'em.
  
• So Klee, you're telling Corrupted Whitty the entire point of the game. Nice to refresh them!
  
• Huang, you better watch out! I'm telling you why; Al Bundy is coming to town!
  
• Tina displays grief.
  
• That's Sally in the cornucopia, that's Sally in the sun, light, losing her religion.
  
• ...And Jeli's mace. And Grampus' bow.
  
• Yelena acts in self-preservation.
  
• Foxy and Bonnie displaying their love for each other in a romantically terrible way.
  
• Bo and Peg collaborating... or completing. Wait, haven't I seen this before?
  
• TJ Combo... chickening out.
  
• ...And Grampus' bow. And Hobbes' sais.
  

And once the blood is cleared... in the way that it is... we move onto the first day. After this loss of life and limb, what else do we see?

DAY 1
postimg

a partridge in a pear tree

• Ravioli showing off its reality-warping powers by suffocating Yelena... who, luckily, survives by ejective oral maneuvers!
  
• Del and Bo debate the folly of cubes of dense metals.
  
• Kaneda has found a new rival in Wy-Six, but apparently Jolyne ain't having it; stupidity is not in her playbook!
  
• TJ Combo employs some great reverse psychology against Fido Dido! How is this such a common tactic?!
  
• Klee on both Gi-hun and Carbide somehow, so she makes herself The Love God! This can only end three ways...
  Wait, I've just been informed that it was an intent to make them fall in love! Okay, that makes sense!
• Mel, the savant artist, drawing such a... a lovely portrait from a tiny papier-mache figurine.
  
• I had no idea that Huang was Pengum's dad. Or maybe he's just simulating his own home life? I know that too well!
  
• Poor Arepo. I'm surprised that Beefaroni had sense... wait, no, it didn't. Oh well, Chef don't judge.
  
• Hey Z, make sure that that gator doesn't get too big. We don't have any water supply here after what happened last time.
  
• Eliwood, you monster. Your lore killed Missingno, you GLITCH!
  
• Peg being petty and taking Calvin through a ride to the floor.
  
• Never thought Panchito was so superstitious that he'd burn Tron at the stake. Oh well. Now you have Panchito's sword, and Kaneda's bow, and Neil's...
  
• Al retro gamer, sacrificing his own consoles for his own life. Sad.
  
• Hobbes has got some humor, but Marisha's got hearing damage from his cymbals now.
  
• Unlucky loves Jose, Unlucky loves Jose not.
  
• Well well, killer animatronics Foxy and Bonnie tag-team against Sally and tear her to bits. Even though she's a zombie. Poor Jeli.
  
• Grampus and Gumball Cookie try to find their own food, but get lost. They should have stayed lost.
  
• Tombstone, I warned you. Jupiter bites.
  
• I didn't know Orby even had hair, let alone hair that could get messy with the wrong shampoo. Learn something new every day.
  
• Neil and Chiaki have their own sorts of thoughts against Jade, but apparently Jade is immune to "nasty patties."
  
• Bootlegging Tina versus Heavy D!. This can only end well.
  
• Yaz, courageous and cowardly against Corrupted Whitty.
  

So, we have to keep track of our deaths somehow, so we use cannon shots to do so. So... may as well do it now that the day is over.

THE FALLEN

11 DEATHS: Jay-Ten, Matt, Gene, Ninian, Diluc, Fido Dido, Arepo, Can of Beefaroni, Missingno, Tron, Sally.
ThatIdiotMan is eliminated.

Until next time, I'm Whistle with SNL. Have a happy Christmas, knowing some of you are dead!

[PowerStroke6001]

Jay-Ten's down already, oof.

[~okami~]

Oh noo sally

[HypeKitty1]

Foxy and Bonnie killed someone

[wingedcatgirl]

On Blade's Edge (Endwalker mid-boss theme) - Masayoshi Soken probably but we couldn't confirm that

Meowy Catsmas, everynyan! It's Hunger Games season 7, and with Prime Queen still de-evilized, we're here ourselves to bring you exactly half of the latest blood and gore from the Arena!

Night 1: PostImage | Trouble Cube

Night 1

The Amazing Calvin, Boy.... of DESTINYYYYY... has gotten himself into some deep addictive behavior! Can he escape alive?

A can of ravioli almost becomes a god! (Is it good or bad that it screwed it up...?)

It's only night 1, and Al has already fallen to the bottom of the depths...

Marisha's found the secret - that this unassuming child is actually several unassuming children in a trenchcoat!

BBZ upgraded her Stick to a Flaming Stick +1! Wait nope Jolyne nerfed it.

Guardians defeated! Tina is there for some reason!

... Not gonna lie, this feels less like an HGS event and more like a total standalone joke!

Did that sitcom have music? I mean other than the extremely iconic title theme.

The bot becomes waterproof!

Haha, more like Grumpus!

Eliwood wisely points out that there aren't any bushes.

Mood.

No peeking!

And the other bot is about to post on television tropes and idioms dot online.

Unlucky lives up to his name, as his meal is rudely interrupted by a cookie seeking a boss fight.

Chiaki, gamer girl that she is, finds a bug in the simulation to boost her skill levels!

talk about training from hell mirite lol olol lol

Which is surprising, since they don't seem to be of the same species.

Panchito, finally catching up on season 6, is shocked to learn that Boris took the gold!

Mel earns eternal gratitude.

It is very important to know that you cannot eat Orby. Orby is friends, not food.

Klee regrets fiddling around with love potions. As you should.

These tributes know to fear the night.

Hey!

Day 2: PostImage | Trouble Cube

Day 2

Neil uses Z-Splash! It's super effective! ... Yes we know status moves don't work like that shut up it's a meme -

Sounds rough, buddy.

One. Million. Years. Dungeon.

Flee! Flee while you still can!

The robot finds some berries and DAMN IT WE LOOKED AWAY TOO sorry Prime Queen we can't tell you what you missed ;_; uh anyway it died somehow, probably relatedly to the berries but we're not sure

Yaz becomes a regretful murderer. Sorry Yaz, but that's what it means to be in the Hunger Games...

Normally Hobbes knows better than to taunt people who've been ordered to kill him.

An accidental impromptu makeover gives Eliwood a massive buff to his hotness attribute?!

HOLY CRAP EVERYONE DID YOU HEAR BO BURNHAM'S BACK THIS IS AMAZING PROBABLY

You've been challenged, Wy-Six! ... Oh, that's it, just a challenge and it stops there?

Al probably ignores normal things all the time, that's just what you do with normal things.

More like Grumpus wait no that joke doesn't work in this context.

... it lets you move freely though, right?

No! Sega, please don't turn Klee into an oversimplified logo -

Sleepy bonus boss is sleepy.

Marisha commits arson on Orby, utterly destroying the most important friend. How shameful, probably.

It's Yelena's day off.

Gotta say, if we saw someone wearing that shirt, we'd talk to them anyway.

PIPIS↗

Buildin' defenses so he can keep gambling uninterrupted.

The battlebot seems to have started moonlighting in espionage...

Fallen Tributes

(PostImage | Trouble Cube)
Can of Ravioli
Tombstone
Peg
Orby

* 33 left.

[Whistle]

Psycho Kaneda, qu'est-ce que c'est?

Also wow, Foxy and Bonnie attempting more murder.

[Guma]

No, Bo, stop being back. Burnout is a serious problem and we are all very worried about you.

[AlbertThompsonJr]

Oh no, Eliwood is H A W T

Also, RIP Ninian, I guess not even her dodging speed, luck and dragon heritage couldn't save her. Oh well, at least she didn't die by Eliwood's hand like in the other thread and in canon.

[DaveTheAssassin]

Panchito, plz

[PowerStroke6001]

I guess Tina helped Pengum fight those guardians?

[Mr. Lee Hammer]

RIP Peg, but Al falling into the bottom of the depths. Perfectly in-character for him!

[Kennifer]

What's Tina even doing lol

[Whistle]

I think Tina was just trying to see if she had an opportunity to strike.

[Whistle]

AND SO CONTINUE THE GAMES.



Welcome back to SNL! I'm your host, Whistle, back from obligations due to a certain annual ritual. Now that I have a new television and desk and have undergone Wachowskian kinematographic therapy, I will be able to review what has happened from last time, as well as what is going on today. I hope that I am not sacked, unlike the previous subtitlers.



Anyway, from here we shall continue!



BATTLE MUSIC: "Skybreak!" - Propellerhead, The Matrix

NIGHT 2
postimg

turtle doves

• Wy-Six showing some kind of affection for Yaz, even if it's already gone by now.
  
• And into the hot-dog stacking contest, in which battle-bot Carbide and Jade are the participants! Even if there were only 30, that's still a record!
  
• You Unlucky bastards, you aliens.
  
• Oh no! Tina suffering her own amputative trauma thanks to Mel... though she doesn't seem particularly fazed.
  
• I think Neil may have taken inspiration from an old short film with how he trapped Gumball Cookie.
  
• Jolyne letting the days go by, letting the water hold her down...
  
• Did Klee steal those sais from Hobbes? Oh well, the killer couple Foxy and Bonnie are dead now anyway.
  
• TJ Combo is a bad driver, says Eliwood. But TJ is kinda lucky he lived.
  
• ...And Yelena's chicken.
  
• Hobbes taking matters into his own hands by trying out fanfiction for Chiaki! Whether it will be good or not is up to you!
  
• Oh oh oh, Panchito must have come STRAIGHT OUTTA HAWAII!!
  
• DOUBLE KILL. Corrupted Whitty takes a moment to reflect on his victory over Grampus, who takes advantage of that to take it with him. Such... wonderful irony, somehow.
  
• Calvin has such odd taste in cake.
  
• Marisha, vowing revenge upon Jose. Him. All. For... something.
  
• Al is not really fazed by being a widower, really. He's still messing with Del a bit.
  
• Huang has POWER! UNLIMITED... POWAAAAH!!
  
• And so does Jeli!
  
• Heavy D! seems to be chummy with Gi-hun, to the point that he'll replace a picture if that's the last thing that happens to him.
  
• Same here, Bonus Boss Z. Same here. [gently sobs]
  
• Psych-Bo Burnham, qu'est-ce que c'est? Fa-fa-fa-fa, fa-fa-fa-fa-fa, far better!
  
• I never knew Kaneda loved birds so much. Well, aside from Pengum, that loud, slow and soft bird.
  

And as the sun rises... we enter a new day. But, oddly enough, it's beginning to rain now.

DAY 3

french

• Wy-Six is sizing up to be interesting; Kaneda thinks they sound like the rain.
  
• Mel is a wonderful cook, isn't she? Must love canned tuna.
  
• Eliwood, the only thing that seems able to stop you is the inevitability of... copyright law.
  
• Well well, Unlucky catches a lucky break! As do Calvin, Jade, TJ, Bo, and Panchito.
  
• I think Carbide is more suited than Huang to scrub, scrub, scrub all the floors in Hyrule.
  
• Chiaki does not want to crash Jeli. But Jeli's skilled enough that she wants more of it.
  
• Klee and Del are already paid in peanuts to come here, so why are you throwing your own currency at them? That's pointless!
  Oh wait, just got word that Marisha actually stole the pearl. Thanks D!
  
• Gi-hun and Neil, doctors irresponsible against Yelena. She's alive, luckily.
  
• There is a major difference between villainy and antiheroism that Jose seems to understand and Tina doesn't.
  
• Jolyne needs something to eat, Hobbes.
  
• Al. Stop doing that to Z.
  Phew, just ice cream.
  
• Yaz is a good aim. Shame about Gumball Cookie though. Wish he could have lived to see the cheering.
  

Well well, another nightfall, another cannon shooting. May as well recap everyone who has died.

THE FALLEN

Foxy x Bonnie, Corrupted Whitty, Grampus, Pengum, Gumball Cookie.
Please report to the Hangar, SomeLibre.

Now that the recorded footage is done, we may as well move onto live footage now, just like Armenia's Got Talent! This is just how we manage to do things, you know? It's pretty fun to think about.

BATTLE MUSIC: "The Prowler" - Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

NIGHT 3

hens

• Hunger Games Babies. Sponsored by Klee, Yaz, and Tina of all people.
  
• Cotton swabs: Good for Calvin, bad for Carbide. And, by extension, Gi-hun.
  
• Huang's newfound strength must have been courage; he's able to lead Marisha safely back to sleep after she sleepwalks.
  
• Wy-Six defying gravity fighting with Jose. Unfortunately, Jose lacks this power, let alone protective gear.
  
• Oh yeah, Something I've Never Heard Of, like Heavy D!
  
• Al gets maced by Jolyne. Wow, fighter!
  
• Good to hear that Yelena is well-liked, if only by TJ Combo.
  
• Neil, facing up against shape-shifting Coke? Yeah, I'd be running for the hills too!
  
• Cotton swabs: Good for Bonus Boss Z, bad for Jeli.
  
• Oh boy! Gi-hun is so hungry, he could eat an octorock!
  
• Oh boy, a dangerous stunt for Eliwood! He got lucky.
  
• Horror game party tonight! Horror game party tonight! Holy shit, Kaneda's blowing up!
  
• Chiaki barely survives the loss of TroubleCube.
  

And as the sun rises again... we hear it again. The rain has cleared, and everything is now calm. For now...

DAY 4
postimg

calling

• Jolyne, Wy-Six, TJ, and Neil have discovered Jumanji. Shame; I actually kinda liked Zathura better as a kid.
  
• Huang is getting stronger; now a superhero! This can only end one way...
  
• I'm pretty sure Eliwood is aware of Tina. I'm pretty sure Eliwood is aware of Tina. I'm pretty sure Eliwood is aware of Tina.
  
• This is the second time a bear has ripped a survival guide. But hey, Calvin's had experience playing Dad before.
  
• Hello Unlucky!
  
• I'd be intimidated by Heavy D! if he knew where I was broadcasting from...
  
• Hey Z, lay off of Gi-hun. I get it, you're boiling over, but that doesn't mean he needs to.
  
• Thank god, Del. He was annoying.
  
• Reality has been compromised. Oh whoa no Bo! I'll miss ya Marisha! So sad about Yaz!
  
• Chiaki doing dubious demonstrative surgery (for FlexSeal) on Yelena. But don't worry, it's fine.
  
• Panchito really loves GoldenEye. Klee does not.
  
• Kaneda can breathe underwater now, I guess. I'm surprised he's become so powerful!
  
• Mel, maybe it's not great to purge someone's phone. Especially if that person is Hobbes.
  
• Jade cannot resist le cookie.
  

Another dusk, another death-tally. May as well get this over with...

Carbide, Jose, Al Bundy, Jeli, Marisha, Bo Burnham, and Yaz.
May Billy5545, Matthew, Oggy123, Guma, and GoldenCityBird report to the hangar? We have something special awaiting you.

And that's how it works out on SNL! We hope you had a wonderful holiday, and only just expect those who can't handle it anymore. But hey, you've got food and the like! That's the way it should be! Thank you all, and good night. Whistle, signing off.
