I also don't think Thresh (next in line with votes) has any plans of dying tonight.

Immortals? We'll put their names to the test! (there's no Sparta emoticon here but Pharaoh is close)

Why "MY" then?

Catering could have easily been "to see this beautiful pup".

Because I am roleplaying, or at least trying to, given what little we see in the book. Also As I said I was trying to cater to a sponsor. or at least someone who I THINK is a sponsor.

As to your net. It can be used to hold someone down so someone else can kill them before they escape? That's what I would do with it.

Oh, look at that. I was cleaning out my tertiary treasure room...you know throwing away the gold that had gone stale and the such...and I came across something that would be very useful to any one of you.

Best picture (drawn, found, whatever) wins it. You have until noon EST tomorrow.

PS - I'm too lazy to read everything, so they need to be pm'd, unless I happen to see it in the thread, which is also fine. But I might not see it.

1. Your active nature in the game has been most excellent to see. Your inquisitive nature seems to be causing friction among the Tributes. I love it. Tell me, what would do to Thresh if you were the final two contestants?

I would use my speed to torment him as I slowly but surely flayed the flesh from his bones with repeated blows. Then, just as he was unable to move, I would pause to allow him to think I was just letting him slowly bleed out in the most torturous fashion possible.

Of course, I wouldn't leave that much to chance...I'd come back in the cover of night to snap his neck. If he got thrash in the process that would just be funny and gravy, what with the name similarity and all. Thresh's Thrash would make a great metal band name.


2. Please tell me what form of Transportation you identify with most closely from your District? Why?

Our powerful cargo trains are what we are most proud of and my District will be just as proud of me come the end of this event. Also, they may take a few moments to get going, but once they are up to speed only a fool would get in their way. Anyone who dare oppose me will find out I am similar in many ways.


3. My appetite for desserts is overwhelming today, what creamy concoction would you make if I so asked?
I would make you the most luxurious of shakes, so that your dessert may be mobile and you may traverse the area and watch the grinding down of all of my competitors

-Milk of the kind my enemies should have drank so their bones would have broken less easily
-Ice cream, frozen in the cold they will remember spending their last night on this planet in
-Sweet, thick strawberry creme to dribble in like the slow flow of their final heartbeats

I hope you enjoy it.

Considering how many think I'm a bluffing mafia, there don't seem to be as many willing to take the chance that I'm telling the truth.

No courage of your convictions?

See you all on the other side.

Hello Tributes. Due to unforeseen complications in the Control Room, your EOD will be pushed back until 4:00 CDT. Know that getting your powers submitted earlier than that will only expedite the results.

Happy Hunger Games!

I don't even know what the tally is.

Too many questions. You're out of the running. Make a joke I laugh at and you can be back in.

ITS A TRAP!

(we aren't allowed to PM....unless you have the authority to grant that power)

Why can't we all just have a picnic and play croquet. Maybe slip into bathing suits and enjoy a beach day instead?

I can't bring myself to vote for my fellow district tribute. I hope you all understand.

Raile, I have turned my attention to you, dear girl from District 6. You, as well as your district mate, have provided insight that other tributes are listening very closely to. What shall we draw their reluctant attention to now?

1. Who did leave back home in District 6? Tell me why they are important to you.

2. How will returning home victorious, at any cost, change your life back home?

3. Make me a cookie; a delicious, gooey, warm cookie. Tell me why I will want to eat it.

The table is set, claim a chair and show the sponsors why we should pick you.

It seems I overestimated your capabilities, despite how low I set the bar. Very well. In the thread is fine. But you have earned my slight disfavor by contradicting me, regardless of what the truth may be.

Do not let it happen again!

Enjoy it I did! The shake sounds most glorious, and the ease at which I could enjoy it makes it all the better. Carr, you have put on quite a show! The odds may just be in your favor.

Neptune, does the poison kill you tonight or do you have more than a day to find a cure?

!Gimp

Bring the SPLOSIONS!

I will gladly die to see Gimp be lynched.

I was curious about this too.

Moving on to lumber District 7. Arbor, the time has come for you to stand tall and grace me with your presence.

1. You have gallantly stood by your fellow tribute from District 7, Aspen. Why do you feel this is a necessary step to win the Hunger Games?

2. Your home district is in charge of providing Lumber to all of Panem. Please, show me what I would look like wearing plaid flannel. Do you think it would suit me?

3. What kind of nutty treat would you make for me in my plaid and tight jeans? What would it be called?

Standing by Aspen is an interesting strategy, now show the sponsors why we should stand by you.

!Gimp

I don't mind taking myself out.

there's honor in that

Oh c'mon!?

Tiny, little Michelle Tanner!?



I see a last minute reprieve!

You guys:

I wish I could find an old Full House t-shirt just like that in the used clothing stores.

Maybe a Sponsor will gift you one.

I'll try my darndest not to be right again, sir.

I have no idea. It didnt come with instructions.

Can we get a tally, before the pushed back EOD?

Man im hungry...

!Gimp

Hungry, not stupid.

Really? My first PM to the game folk would have been "How long do I have?"

So you could, in theory, succumb to it tonight?

The uncertainty would eat at me.

Did your backpack come with any hummus in it?

I see what you did there.

It came with your destruction in it. Want some?

No thanks.

I'm not even really partial to hummus, but there's not much out here in the trees to eat. Pine cones lose their luster after the first few crunches.

Hm.

I really don't like how Quiet Peeta and Katniss have been, even though Peeta clearly has been the more talkative of the two.

If I had a suspect list (I do) I can figure a lot of the quiet ones are mainly alliance members and thus communicating that way. Otherwise we will see a lot of death tonight. I am guessing or do folks have two days to un hunger themselves? (too lazy to go back and look)

!katniss

It doesn't make sense why she's not playing or being as vocal.

How do you check how many people have posted in a thread and does it work on this board?

That I don't know. I do know that it's set up so you can't see who else is viewing-which I like. There's no way to tell who else is on here watching.

Im sorry if this was mentioned (i looked but found nothing), did the district 8 female ever show up?

I don't think so. And now by my clock it's EOD

Madame Octavia, I draw blood in your honor today.

Not my sweetness! You'll rue that vote!
