I find that Carr has been very insightful thus far and wish to align myself with his choice.

That's funny since the reason he voted for me was for following Aspen's lead.

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

By district? By name? Do you know who they are?

you're going to need to keep reading, I don't rewind. Short answer, No names, no numbers, no nothing. There are most likely more than one group. The wording is vague as to how many there are.

Are you getting snarky with me? Because I was about to vote for Glimmer, but I'm not in the mood for snarky.

Can we get a last minute tally?

Why oh why would you vote for me? We're from the same district and should look out for each other.

Honestly, at this point, I'm ok with any of you dying.

I suppose you can read it how you'd like, but no, that's clearly not my style overall.

Last one standing wins. Who knows my weaknesses (if there were any) better than you?

!Glimmer

I don't know anything about you.

Except you're turning your back on me

Good, because up until that post you seemed kind of like a small animal. A baby bear maybe. And I would never want to kill a baby bear.

Ok, so Marvel isn't a beautiful little cat.

I hate you all.

I'm sorry comrade, but I could already feel the point of your spear at my back.

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?

I'm good with new threads, in fact its probably best.

In answer to your direct questions:

Carr wrote:

So who is named?

no specific names, it says "the alliance" (quotes are my own). in my item description. Item: as long as you have this, you will be protected from the alliance.

Carr wrote:

And why is your power geared to stop them specifically?

my power is not geared to stop them, it's geared to protect me from them. Are you they? Am I on "your side" I don't know. Does this reveal that an "alliance" is the mafia? Do other people have the words "alliance" in their item description and aren't speaking up? Highly likely. Their goal is to survive.

Carr wrote:

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

I assumed they are a team I need to protect myself from. How many are there in the alliance? I have no idea. I have no names, no numbers, just the words "the alliance" in my item description.

Carr wrote:

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).

I don't fear revealing too much, I've been more than forthcoming this entire game.

So, in this the alliance might be the mafia.

Your time is up. The new day will begin with a new thread.

wait...what?....oh for the question. I thought the day was over.

Hi Glimmer.

That was a huge run of votes on you.

It is. As of about 31 minutes ago.

In a game where the only stated goal is to survive.....a huge run of votes is logical.

Unless you know more than me, I'd imagine you're ok with anyone that isn't you dying. So, in self-preservation, it makes perfect sense to vote for anyone that has votes on them already. To make it more likely they go, and therefore you survive.

Not sure how we are going to overcome this problem.

bah

Don't be stupid, Cordelia.

I got caught on the phone and didn't submit my vote. I sense badness.

I think Cordelia just tried to vote after time was called.
