Does anyone else find it interesting that someone had an item meant for someone to have when the game was down to 2 people but now we lost all our items? I think the lack of bloodshed has annoyed the spectators.

I don't find it interesting in the least.

I had enough items to bring you to your knees. You should thank the capitol for leveling the playing field for you.

Cato, she sounds like a real peach. I bet she would hate my beard.

Beards do not make the man, the man makes the beard. If she can hold love for The Hulk, surely there is room in her heart for you.

Carr wrote:

So Octave, all that talk about the block and offensive on Cato...then you actually do neither? Don't think that went unnoticed.

I did what I said I would do: I attacked Cato with the stone shiv (my item use) and I guarded myself with the sleeping bag (my primary power). Also, I remained in C1.

That is all I could do.

Apparently, others were able to do more.

I hope it didn't escape your notice that you had a block and didn't use it on Cato.

Angelina Jolie could survive.
Ben Affleck and Matt Damon as a team.
As much as I hate her, Lindsey Lohan would last til the near the end.
Owen Wilson would do surprisingly well.

And even though not real celebrities, Coral and CT would take the whole thing as a team.

Wrong thread, jinglebell.

How demoralizing. Actual punishment should be doled out, not just admonishment.

She already looks hungry.

Perhaps you should be punished for continually estimating that all the facts of the game are yours to be known.

We are the parents, you are the children. Let us do the parenting.

Right, she's been training for this.

Also, I'd really like to understand the whole range issue on weapons. I shared a box with Amp yesterday, and I didn't attack him. Yet he got hit twice. I'll assume Marvel was hidden in the box, as someone speculated earlier, and was responsible for one. Who did the other? Katniss, was it your bow?

Ooh la la. What do we have here.

Since everything was out in the open and there were no secrets, I'm sure we'll be able to narrow down who did what to whom. And, possibly more important, who didn't do anything.

btw, who did you decide to communicate privately with?

What an unfair pairing!

(I'd love to see them go up against Landon and J-e-n-n. Physical strength vs. Physical strength. Crazy fiery passion vs. Crazy fiery passion. MTV DO THIS).

I tossed my sand in Cato's face yesterday. Since Cato had 100 million items, i'm thinking at least one of them was blocked. I had no control over which one.

Thanks, Arbor.

I guess my fault was in assuming I was only allowed one action from the list of 6 (steal, use an item, protect an item, etc.). I didn't realize I could use all my items at the same time if I so desired.

fml

You can't - a couple days ago I wanted to both use an item and a gift from the sponsors and was told that both could not happen

With the "search" above (next to memberlist), you can kinda search like the old old VA board, but it's not perfect.

I can't find the memberlist, much less a search button.

We must not have the rights to access that page.

I'm getting out of the shower and John pops in the bathroom and says, "Do girls ever stand like this?"



I looked at him and immediately knew he was doing the Angelina. Then I asked, "Were you just doing that in front of the bedroom mirror?"

John: "No...........................................Yes"

*laughter ensues*

Did you get it to work? I can't find it.

Most of the site functionality is turned off for Tributes. You need only see what you can see.

No, but I wanted people to think that I did so that they'd feel demoralized and distracted from the game when they couldn't find it. olol

I feel like the Arena is taking its toll on Marvel's sanity. I love it.

Ok, I admit I couldn't remember which of Octave or Arbor was the planned block on Cato - so it was Arbor. Still, the question remains what the hell happened.



Are Cato and Clove the only pair left? Because if so the rest of us need to focus ALL our resources there today.

Neptune and Cordelia are left too and they are much easier to kill off. If you focused everything on us, you will be picked off by them and they'll just walk away with the victory.

My sanity has been in question for a while now, I just haven't had the time to show you until today. I took a sick day.

The similarities between my job and the actual Hunger Games is wearing on me. Maybe fate meant for this game to prepare me for the final battles at work.

I agree with this even though they're not the final pair.

You can win my affections, Marvel. I am currently affection-less.

I feel compelled to keep twittering just to keep you occupied over your sick day.

If they're easier to kill then we need to worry about them less going forward. You can't talk your way out of this.

As of last night at midnight, only three sponsors had correctly signed up for the board and identified their Tribute of choice. This is a grave disappointment.

Seneca Crane wrote:

Was there anyone in the book who didn't want anyone to die ever?

Octave.

And Katniss, perhaps?

But definitely Octave.

Claudius Templesmith wrote:

Unfortunately I still have to do some work. Taking a sick day just means I get to do it from home without having to answer the phone every five minutes.

Which reminds me, I need to change my vm outgoing message.

hey i have been thinking. lets all kill cato. he can't possibly have enough blocks on him at this point.

Same here. After seeing who is playing Thresh I wish he had a bigger role.

Claudius Templesmith wrote:

Agreed, maybe they decided youngish brutish boys/men can't really act? Or they decided that the actors chosen to defeat a youngish brutish looking boy/man were unbelievable in such a scenario?

I like this idea, but we may need to wait until tomorrow. I would imagine that Cato won the immunity for today.

Maybe I'll finally be able to finish this book today. When's the movie come out?

I have no idea, but I feel like he's going to be too busy modeling Abercrombie and Fitch's spring fashions to be menacing.

March 23.

Tickets on sale now.

Accelerated days are always controversial.

In a game like this, where it is simply less crucial to hold discussion in the main thread, it does, however, seem more appealing. After Day Seven, what are the remaining Tributes' thoughts on moving things a little faster? What is most ideal?

If I am declared winner, would it be possible to have a donation of $50 be made to Invisible Children instead of the TG gift card?

I'm ok with it if Clove is ok with it.
