FAQ, Regulations and Tribute Registration
Yo, all! Mod Lynne ( @adrenalynne ) here, welcome to the official blog of the Pharloomblr Games! This is my first time hosting something like this, so please, be patient with me.
Cutting to the chase, letās get some things out of the way.
Whatās the Pharloomblr Games?
Simply put, itās a version of Hunger Games but done with members of the Pharloomblr, aka Hollow Knight/Silksong Tumblr roleplay community. This event is carried out using the BrantSteele Hunger Games simulator, a random text generator type of simulator.
Iāve never heard of that simulator! How does it work?
First of all, you are allowed to edit the cast of characters who are involved in the games. Once you input whatever characters you desire, you may proceed and start the games. The simulator will randomly input a character name into one of the possible events that can happen. Think incorrect quotes generator. Itās like that.
Hereās an example if you still donāt understand:
Goldie, Leela (<-your input characters)
Goldie runs away from Pilgrimās Rest. / Goldie takes a pin from Pilgrimās Rest. / Goldie and Leela fight for a needle. Leela wins and runs. (possible events)
*note that these are not final events that will be used; if anyone has a good suggestion to replace the Cornucopia please comment! Pilgrimās Rest is a placeholder
Can events be customized?
Absolutely! All events can be changed to keep it Silksong themed. This includes event names, general events, and fatal events.
Wait! The simulator doesnāt allow gender neutral pronouns but my OC is non-binary/agender!
Well aware of that. Because of this, Iām defaulting all events that need pronouns to use they/them (ex. Dander accidentally pricks themself while picking berries; but he uses he/him actually) Please respect this. If youāre not okay with it, donāt sign up.
Howās the violence level?
Ehhhhā¦medium to canon-typical, could be high sometimes.
Are there any rules to know about before registering?
1. Each mod can only register a maximum of two characters/blogs. This is to let more people join without one mod swamping the places with all their characters; plus can slightly accelerate the registration system. If you run a plural blog/blog with more than one character, register only up to two of your goobers.
2. It doesnāt matter whether your character is canon or OC, from Hollow Knight or Silksong. All Pharloomblr members are welcome to participate! Joining as a higher being or enemy is also allowed!
3. Register only following the method stated below. Itās simple, donāt worry.
All you need to do is reblog this post! Tag your blog, tell me the name of your character(s), and give me the secret passcode in the following format. Itās hidden in this post!

The secret passcode is __________
How many characters can join?
According to the poll results in the Pharloomblr community, only 36 are allowed! After I get enough participants, I will edit this post accordingly. Any registrations after the edit will be ignored.
How will this event be carried out?
To be honest, itās not one you have to actively do anything in. As itās a random text generator, no one has control over what happens. Therefore you donāt have to commit to anything, really.
The events of each day of the games will be posted on this blog as screenshots, accompanied by the gamesā very mysterious hostsā commentary. If you want to be caught up on updates, you can follow this blog! Anyway, Iāll most likely reblog to the community every time a new post is made.
How often will updates be posted?
Not very consecutively. At most, every few days. At least in my timezone. I donāt want to post everything too quickly even if it takes less than a minute to generate the next events. Plus a longer time frame between events builds suspense :))
Oh, no! My character died :(
Not to worry, your character (and blog)ās death is non-canon! Keep playing tuoys and be silly even after your death, itās fine :D
Can I make fan content of the games?
Absolutely! Sprite edits, doodles etc. are very much welcome. You may post it in a reblog of the dayās post, or as a separate post altogether! Tag it as #the pharloomblr games.
Yo, can I help boost this?
Please do! You may reblog and tag anyone who you think would be interested :)
Oh, no! Iām too late! Will this happen again?
Um, I still have questions!
Ask away in the comments of this post!
Psst. The secret passcode is the random letters scattered throughout the post. Just making sure you read everything, whether in detail or not!
