User blog:TypeWriter'sAreCool/Win Or Die - 100th Hunger Games

In front of a large audience of 100,000 Capitolians, an ocean of brightly colored people watched, as President Rain walked up to her podium, waving she hand, air thin, to the crowd. A diminutive, air thin woman. The same black hair, hazel eyes, and pale skin as her father; the late President Hails. "Greetings!" she boomed, and with that the audience cheered. In the Districts, people were sitting in their houses, some hiding videograms- holding their children- waiting for whatever method of torturing that the Capitol had. Somewhere standing in the town square, holding their precious family members hand. It was that time again: the Hunger Games Quarter Quell. Everyone in the Capitol looked forward to it, while the lower Capitolians were worried for the Districts. The Districts, were as worried as they always were this time of year. Mothers holding their babies, brothers holding their sisters hands, twins thinking of ways to do a switcharoo if they get reaped, fathers hands on their oldest shoulders. It didn't take long to find out this years Quarter Quell's topic. President Rain signaled behind her, and a sweet looking young girl stepped up carrying a wooden box. The President smiled down at the girl in a way that made the Capitol citizens cheer silently in their heads and took a sheet of folded paper out of the box. She cleared her throat before reading the small paper aloud— acting as if she hadn't already known of the twist. Of course she had made it, this was her first year, and she got to make the forth Quell twist."On the fourth Quarter Quell and anniversary, that this shall be the year, to show the districts that not even a small seed of dissension will be allowed, and that the Capitol strikes back hard against rebels, the male and female tributes will be reaped from the existing pool of lawbreakers and their extended families. Good luck, and may the odds be EVER in your favor." She smiled brightly, putting down the card, and walked off stage. Immediately, a buzz begins among the audience as they begin speculating nervously about what would happen.

Arena
This year there shall be two. Once half of the tributes die (top 12), the tributes will be moved to the next arena.

1: This idea is kind of a stretch from what would normally find as an Arena. So basically the areas you can go to have many creepy things about them. I figured that one area can be a field of graves with the dead tributes names on the from previous hunger games, if a tribute searches close enough through the graves, they will find that their name is written on an empty grave in-front of an empty coffin. Another area could be a forest of dead trees, the good thing about this though is that there is small vegetation growing there despite the trees being dead. As for water, there could be a river or a pond filled with bones of dead people. The center piece to this is that there is a catacomb that tributes can go to for shelter without having to build anything... but there maybe something lurking in it. The arena is in a kind of an eternal-twilight state making the sky red and giving the moon an eerie glow.

2: The arena is a compass, in essence. The north is a cold, semi barren mountain range with snow and freezing temperatures. Here, the tributes will find shelter in caves, as well as flint rocks that will be able to be used to start a fire, if so desired. The east will be a tropical sort of landscape, palm trees, some small ponds with white sand beaches where fish can be caught and many other animals skirt around, a lot of various plants can also be found here, some that are poisons, some medical herbs, and some foods, though most are very similar in appearance. There would also be many predatory species here that would pose a risk to the contestants. The south would be a desert. Harsh windstorms and sandstorms, the hottest in the arena. Open sun, no real shelter, but not many will hide here, and here, you can see anyone around, so that you can stay far enough away as to not be killed. The west is a dense rain forest type jungle. Lots of animals and plants, hiding places, some water resources, wood, more common animals here, but if a fire is lit it can quickly devour a large portion of the forest. The center of the arena, where the tributes would and cornucopia would be at the beginning of the game, would be a valley, surrounded on each side by a hill, over top that hill, you will find the different zones, the further into a zone you go, the more severe the conditions become, or the more dense the forest. In the cornucopia, there would be weapons, food, other resources, and a very small variety of books. Some of these books would be helpful,telling what plants and animals are, some of them are just stories to entertain for a small while, or to be burned. As a new trick, there would be no full length swords, only daggers, mixed in with the other weapons, and some of the weapons are weighted and near impossible to wield effectively. There would be some sleeping bags, blanket, water skins and such containers mixed in with the supplies, but nothing that could effectively be used as rope, providing yet another challenge. There would periodically be events to push the contestants from one direction to the next, and possible to kill off contestants.
