It will be slightly based on the books, with the same premise.
12 people enroll into the game. They are all put into The Glade. Each person does a challenge. The two people who do the worst go into the maze. They're they have to do some more challenges. The one with the worst scores are eaten by the grievers.
After that, everyone nominates one person to enter the maze and does the comp. The person with the most votes and the worst scores enter the maze, and they do another challenge. The one with the worst score dies. This goes on and on until the final 3, when the 2 worst scores enter the maze.
You will also have to sustain yourself while living in The Glade. You have to cook, find fresh water, to keep your health from dropping. The more health you have will make you do better in challenges, and especially in the maze.
At final 2, both people enter the maze. The person with the best scores wins.
This could be a fast or slow game, probably slow, and I think could be popular. It would give excellent challenge practice to a lot of people. It would take a yellow level to enroll, but enrollment would be free since its main purpose is for challenge practice for low levels and noobs.
Let me know what you guys think about this, I think it could work.
I like how you have added that the winner of group games get 50 T$. Groups take up the most time and attention on probably anything on tengaged but until now their was no reward.
But let's look at the people who do the most work on group games, THE HOSTS! Hosting is a tough job and is not very rewarding in and of itself. I think that hosts should get a T$ reward as well as the players.
You could give T$ (like 20) to a couple hosts a month who host excellent group games and deserve a reward.
