User blog:Tehblakdeath/The 340th Hunger Games - Essence of Deceit

Welcome everyone to Blake's first ever Hunger Games!

Okay, probably like fifth or sixth, but I only ever finished one and it's so terrible I'm probably going to delete it. Whatever, the past is the past, and I'm better now, anyways.

Introduction
Upon the failure of the Rebellion in 75 ADD, North America as we know it has gone 339 years straight with the Hunger Games as a constant in life. 339 years of life as the Capitol knew it being idealistic. However, after the 339th Hunger Games' dramatic, awe-inspiring conclusion, the impacts from it shook the Games to their core, bringing on a new system of ideals to how we as Panemians saw the Hunger Games. As Panem shook from his epic underdog story, the victor, 18 year-old Crantius Colto of District 7, used this newfound fame and power to gain a significant foothold in Panem's governing Capitol. As the effects wore off, he made a shocking move and usurped the seat to the Panemian throne, becoming its new President and sending former President Tiberius Stryker to Panem's Guantanamo Bay, Super Guantanamo. This sudden sweep of power greatly disturbed each District, thrusting Panem into chaos as the new tyrant Colto took his iron fist throughout Panem. Eventually, the ramifications would come back to haunt him, as Argus' son, Calliope Stryker, performed his own usurpal to reclaim the Stryker bloodline's hold on Panem. Despite medicine's best efforts, Colto was unable to survive wounds inflicted during the assault.

To recognize the power of Colto, and to honour his still-present popularity despite his iron fist tyranny, Calliope Stryker has dedicated the upcoming 340th Hunger Games to his legacy.

Welcome to the 340th Hunger Games: Essence of Deceit.

Rules
1: There will be thirty-two Tributes

2: You may have up to four tributes, although this number is subject to change.

3: I will write Reapings, some Group Training, and of course the actual Games

4: Reservations last exactly 48 hours

6: Harassing any other users for their tributes' actions is not allowed in my Games, and will result in your tributes either being removed or immediately killed off above any other plans.

7: While advice periods will be provided, I'd like to ask that you do NOT counter other plans mentors submit for that specific day, as another mentor would not realistically know about this plan in advance.

8.5: However, this Hunger Games will have bits of humour thrown throughout, as this is not an extremely serious Games, more or less being a way for me to gain a foothold on my writing once again.
