User blog:Blissfully Mine/The 317th Hunger Games - We are destined to be "Distinct".

Sitting in Horror.
''The citizens lining up, the stiffness of the crowd, and of course the sweet, bitter silence surrounds the brisk air that they inhale. Many shaking, others curious, and some just..calm. Although these feelings will soon turn to terror, for a new President has arrived. Her eyes cold, like the ice that envelopes the lake towards the North. Her heels clacking against every inch of marble that seals the floor, and her locks springing every way she turns. You could obviously tell she was impatient, prepared to see the victorious satisfaction of hosting her very first games. The blood, similar to the cranberry juice they sell in the markets. The anxiousness awaiting behind closed doors, everything is just... restless. What catches everyone's eyes is the white rose in her hair, stained with red liquid. Noticing this, she strokes it gently before wiggling a petal, and lightly plucking it off with gentle fingers. She cackles horrifically, which breaks the silence that once remained. The petal still sandwiched between her thin index finger and thumb, she presses her lips against it, leaving the hue of her lipstick on it before blowing it towards the audience. Tapping the microphone, she says very clearly, "Welcome, fellow friends and families. I am your new President, Thorn Miscellous. I'm very excited to see all of you, although quite bothered by the looks on your faces. Why so much worry?". They give no reply, and the only thing that makes a single sound is the noise of a Pigeon flying towards it's nest. "I hope you all can keep up, because I can promise for as long as I will be around, everything will be diverse. Rebellion isn't an option for me, nor any of you." she says, with a glare, her sight focusing in on every person. A pause stretches before she speaks once again. "Without anything else to say, I present to you, this year's 317th Hunger Games, where all of us are destined to be distinct." she hisses, before turning around and letting the clap of her pure black heels finish the remote echo.''

Rules and Template
So, I'm gonna state quite a few more rules than usual due to multiple purposes.

'''1. No spam, advertising, false tributes, or anything that applies. First off, it interrupts the games, and also irritates other users if you do choose to steal a tribute. Also, don't make up names or siblings similar to the characters in the actual book, like "Matniss Cleverdeen". It's just not fair, clogs up the blog, and it's just plain bothersome. Thanks:)'''

'''2. Do not post tributes if you aren't going to participate with them.  I can't explain how much this happens! If you are going to post a tribute, I'm honestly counting on you to stay commited. If you think you'll be busy for the next couple of weeks just ignore the blog. If this actually does end up happening, your tribute will be killed early. When I mean early, most likely at the start of the bloodbath. Please be amazing and just stay with the game or just not join at all<33'''

'''3. I do have the permission to accept or decline your tribute. If your tribute gets declined, please don't scream your brains out at me because I didn't accept them. One of the many reasons your tribute was declined was most likely they were not detailed enough, or just not following the template, or any of the rules listed. If your tribute IS declined, you can try again for a different district, but keep in mind I am only accepting up to 4 tributes per user, although I will only accept one to two due to lack of following the rules.'''

'''4. I do reservations, although don't reserve and ignore it. If I notice you do this, I'm just going to take you off the chart and post a comment announcing which tributes are currently free, so others who would like to post may submit one. They last 24 hours, maybe 2 hours more, and if not submitted, that spot is now free.'''

'''5. Be detailed, and think out-of-the-box! Don't make fantasy tributes, like a 12-year-old girl who has the strength of her father. Make them realistic, and try to be as detailed as you can get, because this further reflects on the Games.'''

'''5. Please know that I am very busy with schoolwork, and preparing for my exams, meaning that I most likely will not update every single day. If you are enjoying the games, just give a few words of encouragement rather than "HURRY UP WITH THE NEXT UPDATE". This pressures me and most likely will make the event less detailed as it should. So don't rush me, please<33'''

6. Post advice for your tributes.

'''6. Have fun guys! I know these are alot of strict rules but if you think you can handle them feel free to submit a tribbie below! And no, I'm not a physco monster, lol, so don't think Im going to rage in the comments over these rules. Mkay, love you guys, baii<33'''
