Game Start

On turn 0, the Capitol (moderation) posts a map in the group at 6:00 PM introducing the game.

This map will be made up of hexagonal tiles that will form the island. There will be as many tiles as there are tributes. From now on, we will denote this number as N, since several things will depend on it.

In the 7 central tiles of the map, forming a larger hexagon, there will be a pair of each of the following items scattered about: bullet and medicine in the center tile, and boomerang, arrow, grenade, sword, flail, and shield in the 6 tiles surrounding it. Which item each of these latter tiles contains is chosen randomly.

The 𝑁 tributes begin by surrounding the central tiles in another 6 tiles, and the map also indicates the starting position of each of them. The exact starting position for each tribute is chosen randomly.

The remaining 𝑁 – 13 squares on the map are placed as the Capitol sees fit.

Along with the map showing the locations of objects and tributes, the Capitol will announce which teams are competing (the team names, not the names of their members) and how many tributes are on each team.
