My Scarecrows were eliminated from the playoffs last week.

FAKE NEWS.

By decree of HO (me), we are redoing this playoffs the right way. The Hunger Games way. We employed (kidnapped) a few simmers to meet our request (demands). No longer will we players kowtow to the fantasies of the reigning oligarchy. This year we put THEM in the ring and make them fight it out for victory. You say: "what about the great team we built?" I say: "Life isn't fair, you better practice your tree climbing."

[I would have loved to include Regina and Detroit, but alas, you didn't make the playoffs #sorrynotsorry]
[GMs male pronouns, COs female pronouns for sim]

Let's have some fun, shall we.....

THE REAPING:

Twenty Four oligarchs were selected from a pool of twenty-four. Bad luck. Who will make it out alive?

Ragnar, you were so close. Too bad you don't know how to use a band-aid.
Ruggsy, I was betting on you. You got me a whopping 4 kills, but blood doesn't count as sustaining food, dummy.

We don’t have any words and we know you don’t want to hear them.
We understand your anger, your frustration, your sadness. Everything you’re feeling – we get it.
This isn’t the ending we imagined, and certainly not the one we wanted. Thank you for being there the entire way.

What's funny is, I wrote "Life isn't fair, you better practice your tree climbing" before I even ran the sim and like 5 of you fell to your deaths lolol
