World Building Idea

[XMalcolmX]

This is only an idea for a future combat world.
The city is divided into three parts: The New City, The Intercity, and the Old City.
The wealthiest live in the domed an luxurious New City. Among the entertainments, they watch, sponsor, and bet on combat coming from the Old City.
The Old City, the decaying parts outside of the dome, is broken up into sectors. Each sector is composed of groups based on entertainment value. Let's say our sector is all male. They are not born there, but are genetically modified and cloned based on appearance, strength, cleverness, raised in the Intercity area, then released into the Old City at random places at a certain age. Each sector is essentially divided into streets that are controlled by gangs. Their activity is closely followed by hundreds of cameras sprinkled about. They have access to some necessities through the Old City, but sponsors in the New City can provide better quality food. They also provide weapons, but I imagine for now, mostly swords, knives, spears, & bow and arrows.
Obviously, conflicts emerge among the gangs, and sometimes within, but they are encouraged not to fight within the Old City (though they sometimes do). Connecting the Old City and the Intercity are arenas. Sponsors of the gangs can control, to some extent, the conditions of combat within the arena. The appeal of the arena for the gangs is that winners are allowed into the Intercity area, which is basically a pleasure palace with real food, luxury, drugs, orgies, etc. The more kills one gets in the arena, the greater the access to luxury. Sponsors who are great fans of particular warriors pay big bucks to meet their hero in the Intercity for sex and play.
What do you think? Any ideas for episodes in this world?

I think is a very interesting idea! Looking at your post history, I assume you are fond of the Hunger Games and I can see the influence here. Dystopian has always been a favored genre of mine. A post apocalyptic morally ambiguous world lends itself well to these kind of fantasies. Suddenly stripped of modern luxuries how long would it take for humanity to descend back into the primal animals that we truly are; where life is cheap, fighting and survival of the fittest is the way of the world, and people do what they have to in order to survive. It gets even better in my opinion, if things like bullets and guns are in short supply and without the means to produce them, we revert back to weapons such as swords, spears, and bows. The stories practically start to write themselves at that point!
