User blog:District3/The 7th Quarter Quell - Fans Vs. Favorites

So last night I rewatched Survivor: Micronesia - Fans vs Favorites and I got this idea! Anyways the introduction to the quarter quell twist is bellow :D Enjoy!

The Twist
Minerva Lagae walked up the stairs towards the valcony that faced to the City Circle. Everything looked different since the dark days. The Mansion looked cold and metallic. The architecs that rebuilt the Capitol, after District 15's attempt to take over Panem by the use of several bombings, had used dull grey metals and white marble. Cubic structures circled the City Circle itself, large squared windows and valconies on them, filled with citizens that preffered to stay home to see the Quell be announced.

Minerva was a 44 years old lady, who since the age of 32 has been incharge of Panem. An aura surrounded her making her appear elgant and peaceful, bu that aura could be described as a burqa, it hid who she was, a tyrant that had murdered her own assistant for plotting a meeting badly, a psycopath who had forced the gamemakers to build horrors that only appeared in nightmares you never woke up from. The soul-less president who visited weak districts just to see the law-breakrs be punished.

All of that were pulled back into her hazel eyes surrounded by a circle of gold. Her brown hair that layed over her shoulders turning grey. The thin lips stained in dark red lipstick. The defined cheekbones that made her seem to always have a glint of joy inside her. She wore a blue dress covered in ribons and black roses on her shoulder.

She stepped outside the room to be surrounded by the cheers of the crowd. The wind blew wildly, if it was like this in the arid districts she knew that the streets would be already flooded by sand. It was like the sky tried to warn the folk of her prescence.

Minerva took a deep breath as the ribons flapped being tugged by the wind. She cleared her voice as the announcer introduced her to the crowd. When he finsihed Minerva's lips curled slightly in the edges before talking.

"I'm proud to be here to announce the 7th Quarter Quell. But before that, as your president I want to take you through the glorious history of Panem." The crowd applouded but Minerva's eyes darted towards the crowds and they quickly shutted up. "300 years ago, after the Dark Days, the Hunger Games were introduced as a punishment for the Distirct's rebellion. The Games soon became what joined the Districts and the Capitol and to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Games, the Quarter Quells were created. Twists that would change the rules for a year, masterpieces that created respect all around the nation. In the first Quarter Quell, the 12 Districts voted for a male and a female from each District to take part of the Games. In the Second Quarter Quell, double the amount of tributes were reaped. In the Third Quarter Quell, tributes were reaped from the existing pool of victors. The Third Quarter Quell never ended. The rebellion exploded during the games, the arena was destroyed and war started."

Minerva took another deep breath and then continued. "After the war, somethign the the rebels called peace arrived. Everybody believed they were soemthing. No leaders and no slaves! A disgrace for the country, us who through the rules and the games created serenity! A new District was created. District Zero, Astronomy. After 50 years of 'peace' the rebellious govern was destroyed after the war for serenity. Our true govern emerged from it's ashes and the Games were re-started. After 25 years of new games, the fourth Quarter Quell arrived. Tributes were reaped without regarding the age that year. Shortly after the fourth Quarter Quell Districts 14 and 15 were created to help the country by producing Muttations and other devivecs for the games and military training to protect the nation. In the fifth Quarter Quell, a total of 340 tributes were reaped, creating the most bloody games till the date. Four years later, District 15 attempted to take control of Panem by bombing the Capitol. District 13 destroyed completely District 15 with a nuclear bomb."

Minerva looked to the silver case in the wooden stand infront of her. "This year, the seventh Quarter Quell, the Districts and the Capitol will reap only half the tributes." The crowd gasped, shocked at how boring the games will be with only 16 tributes. Just then Minerva started talking again. "The other half will be composed of revived tributes hand-picked by myself. The revived tributes will be the designated as 'favorites' and to show that the niceness of the Capitol has a cost, the reaped tributes will not be ordinary reaped, they will have to volunteer. If no tributes volunteer after 5 minutes the escort asked for said ones, he or she will proceed to reap a random name. The owner of the name will be taken to the stage. Where the escort will ask for a volunteer. If nobody volunteers after 10 seconds, the reaped person will be killed. This process will continue until somebody volunteers. If nobody volunteers after ten deaths, sixteen randomly picked people, reapable or non reapable, will be killed. After this the five minutes process will be used again. This will continue until each district has a volunteer."

Minerva smilled as everybody's face paled and eyes widened in shock. Minerva turned around and started marching inside the mansion as the wind finally ripped off one of the black roses of her dress. The rose landed in the un-touched floor of the City Circle. Blood was going to come.

Template
I don't care about what template you use. I want good tributes, I know 99% of the tributes are brilliant, so I guess I won't say no to any of them :D Btw the tribute maximum is 2! Oh and I would preffer of you posted with your tribute a RL picture, if not I will find one instead.

Reservations are for 24 hours!

Method of picking the favorites
I am going to talk to roughly 10 people to pick a total of 16 tributes I love. So if you think that I like allot one of your tributes don't submit me and if your tribute was in one of my past games try to submit a new one. (Mist if you decide to join these, don't you even dare to submit Mist or I'm cutting your balls <3)
