Welcome to a different world where life is… Different. Towns have been added and been called districts. Unfortunately, two of them exploded in an accident leaving us with twelve. To help them to keep not dying from hunger, we opened The Famine Games. Two ponies from each district are chosen from a district, to be put in an arena to fight to the death. Only one tribute can survive! That's right, tribute! Now, just read more to figure us out.

Rated everyone for no reason. Based off of The Hunger Games.

The Famine Games

Introduction

Hello, I am Princess Solstice. I am the president of Equestria, and ruler of 12 districts. I have decided to make a game that will solve the problems of hunger! This is my first year, and so is my so called game! It is called...... Dramatic moment... The Famine Games! I will draw two ponies from each 'district', AKA we do the reapings, and twenty four ponies will be killing each other for food and money. When they return, their new homes will be... well... new and luxury, unless they want to live in their old piece of junk they call home! Now, for the results!

District 1: Twilight Sparkle, Shining Armor

District 2: Soarin, Rainbow Dash

District 3: Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy

District 4: Applebloom, Big Macintosh

District 5: Braeburn, Applejack

District 6: Rarity, Gilda

District 7: Mango Dolphin, Minty Flower

District 8: Zecora, Trixie Lunamoon

District 9: Flim, Flam

District 10: Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle

"Now hold on a minute, our home isnt in district ten!" says a note from second tribute Belle... Too bad! You two didn't move when we did the reapings!

District 11: Lyra Heartstrings, Bon Bon

District 12: Doctor Whooves, Derpy Hooves.....

And that is all the tributes! We shall tell you what will happen in The Games:

We first transport the tributes to the Capitol(AKA Canterlot) where we will prepare the tributes and do the first part of the Games: the presentation, where we show their district flavors by having dressers dress them up to match their districts. We will put them in matching chariots(Well, district matching chariots) where the tributes are drawn from chariots. This will probably get sponsors, depending on how they look. Another day will go by after the pledge of Equestria and votes.

The day after the chariots and stuff is the interview. All the tributes are prepared for the interview by being dressed in nice clothes and decorated for the night. When they all are done, we will call them, one by one to be interviewed. Then after they will have a feast with all the tributes and their demonstrators. Oh yeah, and the dressers! This here is when they can socialize with others, make early allies, and other things. I'd call it 'The Last Feast'. They go to sleep then and wake up and prepare for the Games. They are then sent to the Capitol to be transported to talk to someone before they leave.

Everypony is then put in an arena. They have to stay still for a minute, or they'll get blown to bits from the grass below them. As the terrain is finished, our count down starts. They either go for the middle, AKA the Cornucopia for equipment, or head off quickly for the forest, where we scattered a few items out just in case. Those who dare to enter the gold statue might end up with the bag that holds the things that give them advantages. They will scatter, but there will be disasters from me, the Gamemaker. as it decreases in tributes, one by one, until there is two left, we will be on the edge of our seats. I will spice it up a little with one last disaster and that will be it. The last one wins The Famine Games.

We have some viewers that will vote for a disaster. Every 6 dead contestants we send in a disaster the next day. But we can't do that every time, and the last day will not have a disaster before that day. That would be bad blood! We would love to share it with you, but we have some action to show you, and something for you. Yeah, that's right, I know how to break the fourth wall!

Now, for you to not always be unhappy, you may send tributes gifts by sponsoring them and leaving your gift in the commentary. You may also send early sponsors right now and they will get that one present. ONE EARLY SPONSOR ONLY. Send something reasonable, like a tent or medicine. Don't send something like, a sword that gives you powers, or unbreakable armor that will give you incredible strength. Just send REASONABLE things. Even diamond armor or an advanced spell book would be nice. REASONABLE ITEMS. If your still having trouble, here's some examples.

Medicine

Tent

Water

Bread

Armor

A book

Blanket(but not my blanket!)

Sugar(To be hyper)

But Solstice, what about the scores? Well, I'm glad you asked. No really, because I forgot about them. We will rate their scores from 1 to 12, depending on how good they did. The scores are for their training, so let's do this!

Shining Armor: 9, Twilight Sparkle: 11

Soarin: 8, Rainbow Dash: 10

Pinkie Pie: 9, Fluttershy: 4

Apple Bloom: 4, Big Macintosh: 9

Braeburn: 7, Applejack: 10

Rarity: 6, Gilda: 10

Mango Dolphin: 11, Minty Flower: 8

Zecora: 8, Trixie Lunamoon: 10

Flim: 8, Flam: 8

Scootaloo: 3, Sweetie Belle: 4

Lyra: 6, Bon Bon: 7

Doctor Whooves: 6, Derpy Hooves: ...What's this? A 12?! I thought she was going to get a one.... Oh well! This is going to get interesting!

Now that we have got the basics, I will see you soon. Tributes, catch a good sleep and good breakfast. Because it might be your last... May the odds be in your favor!

NIGHT BEFORE THE FAMINE GAMES

Trixie is confused. I am THE GREAT AND POWERFUL TRIXIE, so don't call me Trixie Lunamoon! But who cares, because Twilight could actually die in my eyes! This is going to be better than I imagined!

Ooh, this is going to be so much fun! I know I might die, but at least my friends will miss me, and I'll miss them... *sigh* Fluttershy, we will need to up our game...

[color=grey]Oh dear, what if I'm the first death? What about my Dinky Doo? What about Doctor?! I'm so worried, and I just don't know what went wrong! I messed up and got a bullseye, even though I saw a muffin on the table! Now they are gonna go after me! I am just plum out confused! Dinky, if you're hearing this, please sponsor mommy for me!

Sweetie Belle is too angry to speak with us it now, we're sorry.

Oh please, my life is worse enough. "Hey Mango, we're gonna send you to the Capitol to die for our own amusement! Now waste your time packing up and have the rest of your life be miserable!" I'm already miserable. Yeah, my master skills are maxed to the highest, yeah, I have almost enough to eat, yeah, I used to be happy all the time, but I am not the same pony I used to be. What are they, stupid? The dang Capitol needs to be told. It needs to be told and erased from existence. If King Nocturne didn't woo Celestia in the first place, there wouldn't have been a Solstice, and there wouldn't have been The Great Solstice War! Life is more horrible. I'd rather eat something really spicy than go to the Capitol.
