Day One - The Cornucopia

Hi everybody! Whats with all the food talk/speculation? Where is it coming from? Did a few tributes start game with info/lists of some kind?

Peeta, from what I've gathered, it's what the board automatically substitutes for using boardies' names.

Not sure about auto-killed, but the Capitol certainly won't appreciate it, and who knows what the gamemakers will send your way.

Also, as previously mentioned, each district has a specialty. These may or may not give information as to what the tributes have or are skilled in, but the district specialties are:

District 1 - luxury items
District 2 - stone quarries (also trains the peacekeepers)
District 3 - electronics
District 4 - fishing
District 5 - power
District 6 - transportation
District 7 - lumber
District 8 - textiles
District 9 - grain
District 10 - livestock
District 11 - agriculture
District 12 - coal

I was so close!

SO these district logos are interesting. Mine (10) is a bull or maybe an ox?
9 is corn
8 is sewing
4 is fishing
1 is a castle with a shiny crown on top
12 is a Mars tripod?
2 is blacksmiths maybe?
3 looks like gears
6 is jet skis?

That's gotta be wrong.

i bet claire has a mustache

People in district 1 should be easy kills, wait until they start texting away on their iphones or playing video games on their flat panel HDTVs.

District 1 is one of the career districts. Their (relative) wealth and favor from the Capitol mean they have the time and resources to train for the games. Don't count them out so quickly.

They take care of and reward us well for training. But don't worry, every now and then an underdog does well!

I want to kill Marvel something fierce.

I'm also happy with who my district partner is.

Hello all. This will be fun trying to figure out who's who.

Sup homie, how's it going?

Are we actual partners, or is that just a flavor from the movie?

Is it just me or does Holden seem aggressive.

well, I AM hungry.

Maybe you're not aggressive enough. Did you ever think about that?

you may not want to get too literal. Only one survives. Unless the rules change. Should you expect that? Expect ANYTHING.

Also I'm a little confused as to why we have 2 female tributes from District 6, especially when Foxface should be from District 5.

Your eyes are faulty. The Capitol never makes mistakes.

I would never imply such a thing.

Only time will tell.

Hi.

Hi Gimp.

(It just sounds wrong)

Still no one from District 5? Quite a few really that haven't said hello yet.

I was looking at the Wikipedia page of the books. It looks like there may be some dangerous creatures out there!

Foxface was appropriately changed to district 5, and I saw Amp (also district 5) online, though he's not posted yet. List on page 4 has been updated as I go along.

Thank you for the updating the list Raile.

From the FAQ about how this is different from other mafia games:

This is a game of survival. The team majority will not win this game for you. The last person standing will win the game. You are part of a team and it will help to coordinate with them, but if you want to win, you will need to look out for yourself first.

Thanks, I didn't notice the district switch.

I wonder if our "team" is our district partner or a larger group.

i think the veggies have multiple occurances. there are a fewrutabagas, ect.

That's true. Interesting -- something to keep in mind. Maybe at some point we should all figure out what vegetable we are.

i wonder if the matching veggies are the groups.

My name isn't censored.

Interesting.

Well......what.....do......we......have.......here

*turns and runs*

I'm broccoli.

Hello Marvel.

Care to dance?

I don't understand any of you.

I guess which board makes no difference.


(Can I be carrots?)

I had no idea this thread existed, nor that we were on page 5. hello! I'm useless.

vegetables? huh?

The Gamemakers took advantage of the forum's censor feature and replaced players names with vegetables.

Think of it as them discouraging - though not disallowing - us to reveal our identities.
