What has Glimmer done to hold the grievances of 3 tributes?

You might want to ask Gimp why he voted for you?

Do the names match up to their districts from the book?

A vote created in fear needs not be questioned. His intent is understood despite his disregard for long-term game play.

Anyone have a tally?

Except for a few made up ones? Yes

NM, I see one is already posted

Has anyone looked at their assignment page in their profile? In addition to fields for name, district and gender, there is a field for alliance. Mine says Tribute. I wonder if that means there may be something akin to a traditional mafia after all.

While its still last man or woman standing wins, if there is another coordinated group that will be adding kills, we should be working together to eliminate it.

Today's results will definitely be telling.

I noticed that too. Mine's also says Tribute, but I'm choosing to believe that they all say that, except for the Gamemakers. Which, I'm guessing, is the reason the classification is there in the first place.

And gamemaster helpers. I agree. Very impressive.

+1, this is a great setup!

I just saw that. Maybe my career theory has some credence then.

I am a tribute, but alliance members are mentioned in my description.

AND yes, the game is AMAZING. all the hard work, wow.

Interesting, you have people named in your alliance?



The question is raised - are they meant to be trusted (like Masons)? Or are you a cabal working to the detriment to the rest of us and betterment of each other above all others (eta: Like the Resistance setup)? Since this is ultimately a one-winner setup the latter is worrying me.

QFT.

Think so? Im not too confused on who the gamerunners are. I think there is probably another reason. But damned if I can figure it out, because before that was brought to light, I was in the "prob. no mafia" camp.

Interesting indeed.

no, not in my alliance. the alliance is who i need to keep safe from.

No, I'm not in any cabal. I am a tribute with no affiliations, other than maybe my district 3 equivalent. although I do think I need to align myself with another district eventually to continue to survive. Just based on what the districts do.

hmmm...

Only time anyone else is mentioned on my profile is one item that I have that I can use to help another tribute if I so choose.

I would assume that we ALL would want to "keep safe" from any alliance types.

Either you slipped up or this is the first confirmation we have that there is a mafia-type team out there...or both.

Either way it's interesting info.

Is there any reason you need to be specifically kept safe? If one could do that sort of thing?

Like you don't explode and take out a D4 worth of other players with you do you??

I've done nothing except for being part of district 1 to get two of those votes. Katniss was because I voted for her

In my profile, where it says "Alliance" I am a tribute.

the only time the alliance is mentioned is when I need to protect myself (or someone else). It is my item.

There is no reason I would specifically need to be kept safe. Other than, in the book, man did the career Cato get mad at me and kill me with one swift twist of my neck. I was not a carrer but they let me tag along to protect something.

oh. no I'm not anywhere near that powerful. Nothing explodes. Some of us are thinking too literally and it may get us in trouble when we need to have more flexible thinking.

We will pose this query to the masses with the understanding that your opinions may scarcely matter:

The Gamemakers originally intended to make each day a separate thread inside The Arena, with the day's results acting as the initial post in the new thread.

Would the Tributes prefer to the game to take place in one ceaseless thread, or is there no objection to following the wishes of The Capitol?

No objection here.

What's up, Cable?

Just hooking things up, ya know? How are you?

Apologies to Quinoa for not giving your list credit. You are indeed a hero. I don't know if you will die that way, but every moment is to be cherished. Your list is like Chick-fil-A.

I don't have an issue with Claire yet. I wouldn't blink an eye if one of the rutabagas dies. But the other, I owe him.

Gettin' by. Trying to figure out which way to head tonight. Thinkin' about checkin' out the pretty purple flowers.

The Capitol has the right idea.

I don't even have a "Description" field.

I willingly and gratefully submit to the wishes and intentions of The Capitol and The Gamemakers.

Also, I love the subtitle at the top of each page: "A place for Capitol Punishment." Pretty nifty!

The Gamemakers' original idea works fine for me

I say we revolt.

We'll say we want to follow the wishes of the Gamemaker, but we'll keep posting here.

Are these names from the books?
Do our powers or possessions coincide with the book characters?
Are there different level characters to start? I ask this because Claire is ridiculously stacked compared to me.

You claimed to have read the rules but apparently you didn't bother to read the rest of this thread, did you?

Anyone who is taking Claire's bogus list as serious needs to be looked at.

My gut says plan A and B are very similar.

Also, Rue, I agree with you on Claire.

You've been training for this all your life, haven't you, Cato? That's the difference between you and me: I've been dreading this my whole life.

I could care less who you really are. But that lack of knowledge shouldn't keep us from working together while we can.

Also, know this: my view has always been slightly askew.

I live so that my family may survive. You, Octave would be a hunter to align myself with. With you permission, I propose an alliance. My sword will never find itself to your throat and any food that I may find shall be shared with you. What say you?

I say yes. Will you also agree to the same for any others who pledge similar fidelity to me?

So who is named? And why is your power geared to stop them specifically? And in another post you said there's no reason why you'd have to be kept safe, then why would you use it to save yourself from them in the first place (ETA: Meaning your post makes the design you're claiming make less sense)? You need to start offering specifics of just what you're actually talking about because this feels like you realized you got caught revealing too much and are now just muddying the waters (for example, the information has now gone from your allegiance, to your "Description" to your Token/item listing).

to the GM, no problem keeping it all in one thread, but perhaps you could link in the first post to the start of each official day?

Rue wrote:

I would tend to agree.

I think separate threads for each day is a good idea.

I have no problem clarifying Carr. When I said "description" I meant my assignment in general.

I haven't gone back to check rules about direct quoting assigments, so I'll be as clear as possible without doing so:

My Alliance is a tribute.

Token: I can keep myself safe from the alliance if I have it.

It's that simple. There, now you can try to steal it.

Does that clarify? Sorry to use the word "description," I know it threw some people off.

Separate threads.
