Okay, so I recently read the last book in the Hunger games triology which got me thinking of the first book (and probably the best) and how EPIC a hunger games game would have been. Thinking about this for a couple of days got me thinking: wouldn't this translate much better into minecraft?
crafting, exploring, fighting, making shelters and so on. Having 6-24 players (24 if you want it to be as in the book) start out with nothing in the middle of a arena created from a random seed with no items or weapons and having to gather up food and items to take on the other players. The great thing about this is that it wouldn't be too hard to mod, well maybe a little, but nothing I haven't seen someone else do before.

Need new SMP server host
Can't seem to get in touch with 23553 anymore so we might need another server host

what would have to be added (feel free to suggest)-
-Mo'Creatures mobs, not the wraiths and ogres, but the bears, boars and foxes. I know Mo'Creatures aren't Smp compatible, still...
-spawnrate of mobs drastically reduced, your main threat should be other players not getting piled by skeletons.
- reduced spawnrate on passive mobs and removing pigs completely, pigs are a easy way of getting food, too easy. Boars would give the same drop as pigs but provide more risk.
-Hunger and thirst bar. duh, it's called The Hunger Games XD
- limit world boundaries. Or else players might not find eachother.
-Remove SMP names. Obvious
-no re spawning. This would remove all need for survival.
-spectator mode. Something to do for killed players or those who are waiting for a new round.
-furnaces should be made into campfires with smoke that reaches higher. to make fires easy to spot and therefor more risky.
-more weapons! knives, throwing knives, blow darts, axes and so on
-No big caves, bedrock should be at 10-20 blocks down. to prevent players from getting too far underground.
maximum height should within the range of an arrow. to prevent towering.
-Names activating when 5 or less players are left with increased range. To make hiding useless.
-saltwater, freshwater. to make thirst harder to compensate for - courtesy of patsteirer.
-maybe, spectators could send certain tributes items, but what they can send is limited. -courtesy of patsteirer
-must click on an item on the ground to pick it up. to prevent one player from running trough the middle of the starting field and pick up everything.

Well I should probably have written about that, if you haven't read the series I strongly recommend them.
The Plot goes... *sigh... I suck at explaining stories. Oh well:
the plot is set in future America (not that I live in America which hopefully makes up for bad grammar) where a mighty district named capitol has seized power and are now ruling over 12 other districts (named district 1-12). After a revolution is beaten down 70 years earlier (I think) capitol initiated "the hunger games" to show that they are in charge. This involved that each year one girl and one boy between the age of 12- 18 gets elected from each of the districts and are put into an arena where they fight to the death for the entertainment of the citizen of capitol. The arena is a large chunk of landscape often including forests, lakes, mountains and traps... lot's of traps. They start out around a supply of food and weapons, (of course this is always a large risk to go for, because all the other players (or tributes) will try to get this too).
This I guess is all you need to know... if anyone can give a better explanation then you have my thanks.
Best explanation I can give, I am sure there is a better word for this... explanation. XD

Hmm.... How about, until the Mo Creatures is Multiplayer compatible, there would be a single player version, including Mo Creatures and the Humans mod.
Oh, and, attributes? I think you mean tributes.
The ages are also 11-18 :tongue.gif:
For the plot:
In the ruins of a place once known as North America, are 13 districts and a capitol. But the districts rebelled the Capitol's leadership, and a war broke loose.
In the end of the war, Districts 1-12 were defeated and were thrown into a state of poverty. The 13th district was completely destroyed. (Or so they though..... 3rd Book :biggrin.gif:)
As punishment for the rebellion, the Capitol forces one boy and one girl from the ages of 11-18 to the Hunger Games, a fight to the death.

Well it has been bout' 2 years since I read the 1st book, bound to forget something XD
No way! I was just having a similar idea in the form of a map and mod pack!!! Look out for it soon! (though I wont start any mods until MCP is released for the beta 1.3_01)
Hunger and thirst would be a must! Also, There should definitely be saltwater, so that only certain water is drinkable.
I would love to see the clock arena duplicated. With the weather mods that are being worked on, I think it could be possible! Especially alongside time set mob spawners!
As for your base idea, it would be REALLY AWESOME if Spectators could give items to players they like; but set limits on what can be given.
Another idea is to have intricate redstone circuits that cause certain disasters or events to happen at a spectator or game master's whim.
Also maybe you can choose which district you come from to determine what skills you have, even tho this isn't needed and would require a GUI. (that sentence was probably only understandable for the ones that has read the book)
Noe if we only had a decent modder. This might actually happen!
If you are a modder and decide to pick up the project then kodos to you; let us know with a comment.
Sadly builders will probably not be needed, a limited worldmap and a seed would probably work better.

Agreed. Added names with extra range for the last 5 players to the list.
