Who are you? (Name, gender, age, former profession etc)

Why do you want to join THE TRIBAL GAMES?

Describe your ideal pocket-world and tribe! (Climate, size, surroundings etc, your starting tribe will have around 150 members, where 100 will have some minimal combat training)

What skills distinguish you from the plebs? (Choose two)

Battle: Every unit has some hidden stats, armour, attack, and defence all plays a role, as does numeric advantage and tactics. In combat your unit will try to follow orders you have commanded previous to the battle. You can also command the battle personally, but that is a risky move since you will be a prime target for other players.

Defeat: A tribe is defeated when its commander is dead. The former tribe will be att the killers mercy, and the pocketworld will dissapear from the game the next turn.

Trading: Its possible to open traderoutes between two pocketworlds. Both players must agree to open a permanent portal between these worlds. The portals will open in the outher tula of both pocketworlds. Be sure to trust your trading partner, since the portals can be used for attacks aswell. It takes one turn both to open and close a trade-portal.

Turn: Everything seems to go faster in the pocket-worlds. A turn represents an entire season, but its only a week of earth-days. This means that plants, trees and animals grow and die much faster than in the normal worlds. This does not affect humans though.

Tribe: Each player will be assigned a tribe in the beginning of the tribal games. These tribes largely consists of slaves, criminals or humans bread specifically for these games. Most of the tribesmen know a little of this and that. They have all been trained in farming, mining, fighting, crafts etc. They are the embodiment of jack of all trade, master of none.

Gaining new tribeskills and knowledge: There are several ways to learn new tribeskills. First and foremost you can research this is the slowest but safest way of gaining new knowledge. Your tribe will try to find ways of doing whatever you want to do in theory before applying it practically. You can also   experiment, which means trying to learn something by applying the skill practically. This goes faster, but accidents happen alot. Lastly you can also train, if someone in your tribe (or the player) want to teach something to the other tribemembers he or she can teach them. This is safe and goes quite fast, but you need someone with the skill you want for it to work. Sponsors can also buy skills for its favorite tribe, and its possible to win new skills in competitions during the tribal war...

Viewers reputation: Viewers all over the empire watch the game with a passion. And some of them even sponsor their favourite team with gifts. Brave, dramatic and cunning players who finds ways to make its tribe stand out from the others have a higher chance of winning public favour. Therefore it can sometimes be a good idea to use sub-optimal tactics if it got style. 

Underground buildings: Underground buildings take twice as many manturns to construct, but only half its resources.  (Rounded up) , you need someone skilled in tunnelling to build underground buildings.

Tribeskills: Every tribemember in the tribal games are equipped with a memory chip. This chip stores all the permanent skills of the Tribe. Permanent skills kan be used by all tribemembers. There are also skills which only parts of the tribe knows, this skills can be forgotten of the people who knows the skill dies. If enough people a taught a skill it becomes permanent. Skills have different requirements in how many who needs to know the skill for it to become permanent. Fighting skills tends to have the highest requirements. Skills marked with () is not yet permanent.

Yeah..this will be a merge of a strategy game, game of thrones, and hunger games. Unlike most forum games the players interests will clash quickly, within the first few turns some players will be stronger than others. Also remember that this is a TV-show, to have good relations with the viewers is VERY important. And its encouraged to make your make something special of your starting (generic) tribe. The viewers also wants DRAMA. Be it alliances, war decelerations and betrayals. If you have any questions feel free to ask.
