A little backstory first...
Quite a while ago, PitTheAngel found an online Hunger Games simulator and decided to put a bunch of player names into it and post the results. A bunch of people suggested extra events and tributes and what not, but it rarely stored the data between runs. Also, the results were totally random and every tribute was exactly the same as each other. At the time, I was taking a Data Structures class (with Java) and needed something for my final project. I decided, I could do better, and I did.

So basically, give your suggestions for tributes, events, combos, weather, and everything else and I'll run the simulator and see what happens. Most of it is RNG, but sometimes you can get a good set up and that boosts your chances a little. Here's how to add something for each category.

Adding a tribute to fight and die for your amusement


Adding an event


You can also submit ideas for weather effects and passives. Those are much less formal. You have to describe what you want it to do and I'll complain about how hard that is to code. For example...

IreCreeper: Rage Virus: "A virus sweeps through the arena, causing everyone to become enraged..." HIGHLY increased chance for duels. Strength and Entities are more likely to be used instead of other stats for duels.

Talist: Ughhhh... but messing with the duel chance... I mean I could do that... And making Strength and Entities more likely to be used is... ugh... I'm going to have to hard code in a separate line of if thens and elses and blah blah blah blah...

Links to current lists. Might not be as current as I say they are.

...the abilities really need to be rebalanced, some are clearly better than others.

EDIT: If you need to remove tributes, I suggest you choose the joke ones.

Balance is not exactly my utmost concern when making these. But if you think some should be tweaked, tell me. Although, I did code these, so I happen to know some quirks about the passives. Do people think that bloodmage is good? Because it isn't. It only triggers when you hit your true HP cap, not the 100 HP cap of natural healing, so I personally think it SUCKS. It only pays off if you get lucky with heaven weather or other healing. Just ask me if you want my opinion on the passives.

Oh, and about all the tributes I removed? I still have them on file. So, they aren't gone for good or anything.

Well... let me look through the list.

Roid Rage and variants: A 10% boost to 17% of ?% of events seems a bit underpowered.
Masochistic: How often are you going to take damage?
Loving It: Not really a "positive" passive
Legbreaker and variants: It adds up, I guess, but doesn't really help you very much.
Gambligant: This really just negates itself... and its only 10%
Gotta go fast and opposite: Not really "positive" passives
Early Risks: Not really a "positive" passive
Popular: 10% seems rather low, chance are you'll get none most games
Leek Spin: Not really a "positive" passive
Flux: Not really a "positive" passive
Necromancer: That's only up to 3 entity a day.

Maybe you could add like a neutral passive type or something.

Frail and variants: Seems a bit underpowered, a la roid rage.
Vegas: Not really a "negative" passive.
Reckless: Seems a bit much.
Convenient Weak Point: Seems a bit much.

Well, let me try to defend some.

Roid Rage: I kinda agree. But, it lets you specalize on a specific stat and build around it.

Masochistic: I actually thing this is pretty good. Well, with weather events like hail it is.

Loving It: Like Roid Rage, it lets you specialize on strength. Engie loves this passive. I did some math and determined it ends up giving about +3.

Legbreaker: They don't help you that much. They're more to screw over other people.

Gambligant: What? When I think about it, this passive is actually awesome. In order to win, you have to gain a lot of stats. If you lose them, you'd lose anyway, so the negative doesn't apply that much. This is kinda like all the Roid Rage passives combined, but you take 10% more damage as well.

Gotta Go Fast & Early Risks: Eh, they're just... there. Maybe should be neutral.

Popular: Most games go for about 10 days, so if you're actually going to win, you get 1 package on average, so that's +10. Not bad, but considering you could use the stats sooner, this should probably be buffed, like Ire suggested.

Necromancer: But considering half the population is dead by about day 3, that's +2 entities per day. And that totals up to +14.


Frail: Probably too light.

Vegas: Yeah it is. It's actually pretty bad. On average, you roll a -0.5 because (4 - 5)/2 = -0.5. That times 5 equals an average of -2.5 per day.

Reckless: But the average player doesn't get into a duel. And even at the end, it's just -15 HP.

Convenient weak point: This is taking 30% more damage. probably too harsh.

Idea for Mashup event.

4 EPIC RAP BATTLES OF DTG! (Player 1)! VERSUS! (Player 2)! BEGIN! {60i}/{60i}
-- Both (Player 1) and (Player 2)'s raps were terrible! They are booed offstage by their own entities! {-30e}/{-30e}
+- (Player 1) wins! He takes some of (Player 2)'s entities! {20e}/{-20e}
-+ (Player 2) wins! He takes some of (Player 1)'s entities! {-20e}/{20e}
++ Both Tribute's raps are so good, the audience showers them in buffs! {10i 10e}/{10i 10e}

Because two people are reading this for some reason, I might as well say this. I still know this exists, and I wanted to run another as part of one of my entity's action, but it's not been happening as fast as I thought it would...

this is what I said I'd post here a long time ago. This is from http://www.minecraftforum.net/forums/off-topic/forum-games/436320-dtg2-the-discussion-thread-and-forge-database?page=484 . Although, I really think you should just read it there. Lots of the BB code things don't transfer over very well.
