'''          The Hunger Games are no more, but for seventy-five years they were used as a reminder of the Dark Days, a time where the thirteen districts of Panem rebelled against the cruel Capitol. Twelve of the districts were defeated, and the thirteenth totally anhiallated, or so they thought. On the seventy-fifth year of the Hunger Games, the Third Quarter Quell, the Hunger Games were destroyed, along with the cruel and ruthless leader of Panem, President Coriolanus Snow. The thirteenth district had not been completely destroyed, but instead spent all of those years in hiding planning an assault on the Capitol, a revolution. One of the many heroes in the rebellion was Katniss Everdeen, one of the star-crossed lovers from District 12, who was one of the two victors from the 74th Hunger Games, and participated in the Third Quarter Quell as well, who proved to be a wonderful and caring girl. Everdeen, along with fellow victor Peeta Mellark, friends in the Capitol and President Paylor, ensured that the Hunger Games would never be reinstated. Twelve years later, Everdeen, Mellark, and Paylor all mysteriously disappeared during a raid at a Capitol press conference. The districts of Panem, inlcuding District 13, which had rebuilt itself over the twelve years since the Second Rebellion, searched for the missing leaders for another two years before calling the search off. Then, a man by the name of Aculeo Julius sent a tape to the Capitol, showing them the three leaders, bound and ready to be executed if they did not cooperate with his requirements. Julius asked for complete control of Panem and the thirteen surrounding districts. The Capitol did not comply with his requests, and they were executed on the spot. After that, the people of Panem were so heartbroken, so unnerved, that they had no choice but to rebel once more against the Capitol, and so was born the Third Rebellion. Once again, the thirteen districts were defeated, but without a leader, the Capitol was vulnerable. Aculeo Julius and his men stormed the city, and was unofficially elected President. President Julius proved to be another hateful ruler who cared not for human life. So, as punishment for the Third Rebellion, Julius demanded that a new form of Games be instated, thus the Tribute Games were born. The Tribute Games had the same standard rules as the Hunger Games, with new twists and turns in every direction. The new Games could still be manipulated at will, but if needed, Julius could ressurect fallen tributes, insert new ones, and even send in tributes from the Capitol itself. The age requirements for the Games also changed. Originally, only children ages twelve to eighteen could enter, but now kids from the ages of eight to twenty could be chosen to participate. The Games were an event that all citizens of Panem, even those living in the Capitol, dreaded. So, each years, each of the thirteen districts of Panem are to send two tributes, one boy and one girl, to participate in a televised fight to the death in an outdoor arena for as many days as it takes until the specific amount of tributes needed to declare victors remain. Tuning in to the Games is mandatory, and anyone who does not can be punished to the full extent of the law, the penalty is death. As in the Hunger Games, there is a slogan that the Games have coined. It's the same slogan, ''Happy Tribute Games! And may the odds be ever in you favor!'

Sponsoring
'You may sponsor up to two tributes, but only two per user. If another person is already sponsoring a tribute that you wanted to sponsor, you are unable to sponsor that tribute. Any tribute who dies in the bloodbath cannot be sponsored at all, and once you're tribute dies, you may sponsor a different tribute if they do not have a sponsor. Each sponsor starts with $1,000, which may be spent after the first day. If you sponsor more than one tribute, you start with $2,000, which may be spent on for the first time on the second day. You are unable to send any gifts on the first day if you sponsor two tributes.'

The Arena
The Arena consists of the Cornucopia in the center, which is surrounded by a lake and smaller islands which are filled with weapons and crates. Trees surround the Cornucopia, and the smaller islands are also covered with trees. The lake is surrounded by a beach, and the treeline is next to it. There is a forest, a meadow toward the eastern side of the Arena with a stream running through it, and cliffs which mark the end of the Arena. In the west, there is a snow-capped mountain. The Launch Rooms are below the Arena, and the platforms are raised into the lake.
