City of Misfortune (planning thread)

[Xiomera]

What if Pyramid of Misfortune, the IDU's favorite challenge show, got even bigger and more challenging? What if, instead of just a pyramid, you had to conquer an entire city?

This is the discussion/planning for a potential sequel to the Pyramid of Misfortune RP from 2019. The idea is that, to counter lagging ratings, the producers of the show expand it to create a "city" that is a gauntlet for the competitors to run through, prior to getting to the Pyramid and climbing it. Think of it as a combination of every obstacle course show you've ever seen, with the nasty ingenuity of the Pyramid.

The task would be simple: two competitors are placed on either end of the "city", run the course, and climb the Pyramid at the center. Whoever finishes first (if they finish), wins the round and moves on. There would be either one or two competitors from each nation involved, depending on the amount of interest in the game.

So.....discuss.

I missed out on this last time, so I'd be super excited to have a competitor or two take part! I'm thinking I'm down to RP two characters from two of my nations

[Lauchenoiria]

I'd be happy to participate, though I'd rather have one participant per nation so I can add in a puppet without having excessive amounts of work.

[Libertas Omnium Maximus]

I'm in.

[Xiomera]

I am totally fine with one competitor from each nation, that does seem a bit more manageable. I'll leave this open a bit longer to see if we have any other interested parties before we jump in.

[Democratic Republic Of Eiria]

I'd be interested as well!

As in the previous game, the prize is one million quetzals to the winner, with a matching prize to be donated to the charity of the competitor's choice. There will be Xiomeran competitors as well; the number will depend on how many people sign up. As an extra fun twist, there will also be possible competitors from Huenya, Milintica and Manauia (again depending on numbers).
