User blog:MyWorld/The 3rd Annual New Hunger Games

Hello Everyone!

Welcome to the 3rd Annual New Hunger Games! If you are new to my games, you should check out my previous and first completed games, The Death Games, won by Shade Spectrus of District 5 and created by Mistfire333. I suggest you read at least the plot and ending because my series revolves around a big storyline.

Now let's begin!

Rules
1. I am looking for limit of 6 tributes each user. These numbers may increase if it takes too long to fill up the tribute slots.

2. Please don't be rude to other users or be rude to me because your tribute died.

3. I will allow a reservation for any spot that's available. There's no real expiration but just make sure it doesn't take like a week to post your tribute.

4. There will be twice the amount of tributes reaped this year. (2 males and 2 females from each District) I will be including the Capital and District 13, which all together leads to a grand total of 56 tributes!

5. No tributes from my previous games, unless I re-enter them myself (Which won't happen in this game). Once again, these games are revolved around a storyline, and it wouldn't make sense for a tribute to reappear in the games without any reason.

6. I will try my best to make sure each user has at least one tribute that makes it past the Bloodbath. After that, it is any user's game. It is also highly recommended that you comment often to show you are following as it will increase your tribute's chances of winning significally. Advice is also recommended if you want your tribute to do something in particular that day.

7. Here is the Tribute Template:

Name: (First and Last name minimum.)

Age: (Ranged 12-18)

Gender: (Male or Female)

District: (List as many as you are willing to take, in order of preference.)

Personality:

Appearence: (Typed, lunaii's, and pictures allowed)

Weapon: (1 minimum, 3 maximum)

Strengths: (To make sure I don't have any super tributes...)

Weaknesses: (Make sure the number of strengths and weaknesses is the same)

Fear: (1 minimum)

Alliance: Choices: Careers (You know what this is.) Anti-Careers (A large alliance that anyone can join.) Alone (Will go solo in games.) Or list the tributes you are allying with. You can also say you are looking for an alliance. Anyone who is still undecided when I start Individual Training will automatically join either the Anti-Careers or be a loner.

Backstory:

Tribute Token:

Everything in bold is required, and even though I may still accept a tribute without one, don't expect them to last very long. Backstory and Tribute Token optional. If you want to add it, you can. (Note that I may sometimes reference your tribute's backstory if it is interesting enough.)

8. I will not use any curse words, just words like dumb, stupid, loser, etc.

9. The POV'S will be a little different this time. 5 Random tributes will have a Training POV. (2 will talk about Group Training, 2 will talk about their Individual Training, and the last will basically be the reactions to seeing the scores.) A random number of tributes will also have a Night Before The Games POV. (It depends how many alliances there are.) Then the games will start.

10. That's it for the rules! I hope you can enter a tribute. :).

Story Introduction
Note: This is not necessary to read if you are joining, but if you are interested in viewing the storyline, or just feel like reading something, you can check this out if you like.

We discover that after the 2nd New Hunger Games ended, a round yellow fellow with the name of "Pacster" (Also commonly referred to as "Pac-Man") has saved a few tributes from their death. The "chosen ones," Irina Dupree, Octavian Silvercrest, Tiburica Heloise, Mist Scorchil, and Kyle Dake are informed that they are on a mission to stop the "enemy" who has started the New Hunger Games and devasted not just Panem, but the entire Earth as well. What they don't know though is the 5 helpers of Pacster and where exactly they are going. Most importantly, who is this "enemy?" The chosen ones take a ride through outer space where they arrive on a different planet.

Octavian Silvercrest, District 9
After being on the Hovercraft for what seems like days, we finally receive a message from Pacster that we are almost at our destination. "Welcome to my world, Pac-Land." Says Pacster as he points to a planet through one of the windows. "The leader of our planet, President Spheros, has a broadcast for us for TV." says Pacster. The TV in the front room all of sudden turns on and we see someone who likes the same type as Pacster, but green and older. "Greetings! Nice meeting you." President Spheros says. "As you may already know, I am the leader of Pac-Land, President Spheros. You all should be very close to the planet, so I prepared a place where we can welcome you. Once you get here, we can tell you more about your mission. See you soon." President Spheros says on TV as the TV turns to static.

As soon as the TV turns off, though, a green and red chest-like thing with a weird face with a big smile and weird glasses falls from the ceiling and right where the TV is. "What is THAT?!" says Kyle, who has acted back to normal after getting on the Hovercraft. "I don't know." says Pacster, sounding a little freaked out. "This wasn't part of the plan!" All of sudden, green smoke is released from the chest and out of the smoke comes a weird beanish guy with red clothes. "I have fury!" the thing shouts as a force all of sudden pushes all of us toward the wall. "I am afraid I can't make your arrival so peaceful. Why not add a little bit of action around here?"

Look like a battle is starting even though we are not even in the New Hunger Games

Tiburica Heloise District 11
As soon as were pushed back, I can hear Pacster ask us a question. "Do you guys still have your weapons and remmeber how to fight?" he asks. We all nod, grabbing our weapons out of our backpacks. "Good." He says. "I will distract him, while you guys give him everything you got." Pacster says as he eats a bean out of this little machine and flies around the bean guy. While he gets distracted, we all throw our long-ranged weapons at the bean guy. This goes on for only 20 seconds before the bean guy notices us and tries to attack us with this laser beam. While we dodge it, Pacster comes from behind and does the finishing blow on the bean guy. The guy falls to the ground all beaten up. The chest opens again and a round yellow thing similar to Pacster comes out. "Mrs. Pac-Man, its you!" Pacster says. "Meet the chosen ones." Mrs. Pac-Man looks around and sees us all. "Great to meet you!" She says. "I was not the only one in the chest..." Four ghost like thingies pop out of the chest. They come in 4 colors; red, pink, blue, and orange. The red, pink, and blue ghosts are small while the orange one is big. "Finally out of that unpleasant space." The red ghost says. "Are these guys the chosen ones?" The blue ghost asks. "Yes." says Pacster. "Meet the Ghost Gang; Blinky the red ghost, Pinky the pink ghost, Inky the blue ghost, and Clyde the orange ghost. Don't fear them, they are on our side. Wait, so you guys were trapped in that chest?" Pacster asks. "Yeah, this bean-like dude appeared in our room and a force trapped us in that chest. It was a very uncomfortable feeling in there." The orange ghost says. "Yeah, who IS that guy anyway?" The pink ghost asks, pointing to the bean guy.

"A winner is you." The bean guy says, still on the floor beaten up. "Now since you have bested me for now, I will disappear back to my home... WITH YOU!" The bean guy heads to the control gears of the Hovercraft and explodes. The Hovercraft all of sudden starts to make weird noises and starts to fall toward Pac-Land. "Oh no!" says Irina. "This looks like a rough landing!" After falling for a bit, I can start to see the surface of the planet. We appear to be heading toward an airport like station. That is the last thing I remember until I hear a crashing noise.

Mist Scorchil, District 8
After blacking out from that crash landing, I start to hear someone trying to wake me up. It was Pacster. "Its a pretty big miracle." He says. "Everyone is Ok. Come on outside, everyone is waiting for us." Pacster then leads me outside the Hovercraft.

While everyone seems safe from that crash, one big question remains.

Who was that bean-like guy?

The Twist
Many months after the New Hunger Games 2 ended and Shade Spectrus was crowned victor, President Fire, unknowing of the mission and questions from the chosen ones, knew it was time to announce the twist of the New Hunger Games 3.

"In order to see how our brave young citizens will fare against even the worst natural disasters, with the exception of Day 1, every day in the Arena will have a certain natural disaster going on such as flooding and extreme temperatures. How will our tributes respond to these disasters, what exactly will the disasters be, and what will the Arena environment be like? These questions will be answered later on. Happy New Hunger Games!"

As what happened in the last 2 years, citizens throughout Panem were shocked to hear this news. President Fire always seems to come up with the most extreme twists, and this was no exception. They can only do nothing but watch and see what happens when the games start.

Looking For Alliance
Bold letters on name means leader. Italic letters on name means co-leader/second-in-command. A ? mark after the name means that the alliance member is either an unconfirmed leader or uncomfirmed member.

Arena And Disasters
The Arena will be split into 4 sections; The Forest, The Plains, The Jungle, and The Mountains.

The Forest: A good biome for finding food and water and for hiding. However, it is the biome with the most mutts and the biome with that is affected the second greatest by the Disasters.

The Plains: This will be the area around the Cornucopia. An Okay-ish biome for finding food and water but not good for hiding from other tributes. This biome has the second-fewest mutts and is affected the second least by the Disasters.

The Jungle: The best biome for hiding and getting food, water, and all sorts of supplies. However, it also has the most mutts and is affected the most by the Disasters.

The Mountains: The worst biome overall for getting supplies, food, water, and surviving. However, it is also a safe haven from mutts and is little affected by the Disasters.

The Disasters
Each Day, with the exception of Day 1, there will be a certain Disaster that greatly affects the Arena and the tributes' situations. To keep the games more of a surprise, the Disaster will not be revealed to anyone until the Day it happens.

All the Disasters and what Day they occured will be listed below.

Day 1: None

Day 2: ???

POVS
As I said before, there will be 6 random training POVS (3 for Group Training, 2 for Individual Training, and 1 for viewing the scores.) and a random number of Night Before The Games POVS. (1 POV for each alliance there is.) Then the POVS throughout the games will be random. (I will try to balance it as much as possible.)

Aston Wilkinson, Capital
After the Head-Trainer went over all the rules and stuff, I grouped with the Careers. We still are not sure of our leader, but I am sure it won't be me. The Careers only accepted me to their alliance despite me not being from a Career District because the Anti-Careers greatly outnumber the Careers. I also notice that the alliance does not have any District 4 tributes. This is a very rare event. Still, the District 4 tributes this year seem very crazy. I also notice Radiant (11) from District 11, who must have been accepted into the Careers for the same reasons as me. After discussing on what we should do, we decide to go to the weapon's station to show the other tributes, mainly the Anti-Careers, that we are no joke this year. Ceour (1), Gauis (1), Cira (2), Clozie (2), Radiant (11), and I all go to the close-ranged weapons station, while Savera (1), Galina (1), Allan (2), and Yumi (2) go to the nearby long-ranged weapons station. We take turns in showing our skills and showing off our moves to the rest of the tributes.

Bolton Meadow, District 11
I formed an alliance with a group of people who feel the same way I do about the Capital. We are called the "Rebels." We all have a hatred toward the Capital, especially President Fire. I mean, who in the world would want to restart the Hunger Games when they have already been removed in the past? Panem was doing fine during the time when there were no Hunger Games. I am starting to get a little suspicious, but I think it is just President Fire being crazy. I hated the New Hunger Games the second they were announced, but what really made me angry was an accident I had months ago. I remember being in one of the richer families back in District 11. The Capital was doing nothing to support the higher number Districts, so District 11 is now poor. As a result, I was pretty much giving away my money and food to the poor. Worst of all was this image of when I saw 3 innocent young children die in an accident. I try not to think too much about it, but it still haunts me. This started my true hatred toward the Capital and convinced me to move from the Anti-Careers into this Rebel alliance. During training, it was pretty much normal; the Careers are showing off their moves at the weapons station and everyone else is scattered around doing other stations. Nothing unusual happened until almost the entire alliance notices that one of our members, Allysa (9), is talking to the Careers. I don't know what she is thinking; the rebels are supposed to be against the Careers as they are the most loyal tributes to the Capital. Our leader, Hayden (10), is especially furious by this, and discusses a plan with us to make sure she dies at the Bloodbath.

Wire Elec, District 3
I am walking around the training arena with my ally, Sharpe (7). I became friends with Sharpe since the time we first met. We both seem to think in similar ways and we are both looking for an alliance to join. We know that just the two of us would not be enough to win against some of the other large alliances, so we look to see if we can find a small alliance where we can form one big team. After going from area to area looking for the perfect alliance, we finally found one. We see two tributes that I recognize from the Capital talking to each other. They seem to be in a disagreement or something. Sharpe and I decide to go see what is going on and fix their problem. Maybe then we can form an alliance. "Hello." I say to them. The boy Capital tributes looks at us and speaks first. "Hello." he says. "Nice to meet you. I am Dusk and this is Dawn." Dusk points to the girl, who seems more shy than Dusk. "Hello." Dawn says. "We heard some sort of arguemental conversation going on." says Sharpe. "What is going on?" "Well..." says Dusk. "Dawn and I want to train together at the stations, but we can't seem to think of any plan, since we are big oppisotes on pretty much everything. I am good at weapons but bad at survival skills, while Dawn and bad at weapons but good at using survival skills." I think I know how to solve this problem. "Well..." I say. "I know I am pretty good at survival skills and Sharpe here is good at weapons. Maybe we can train together with what we are good at and teach each other what we struggle with?" "That sounds like a good idea!" says Dusk. "We were also wondering... are you looking for an alliance?" Dusk asks. "Yes we are!" says Sharpe. "In fact, that is why we came here. We are looking for another small alliance that we think would be a fit for us." "Wow." says Dawn. "We are in fact looking for a leader for our alliance." "Then this will be great!" I say. "The 4 of us could be an alliance, and since I know Sharpe is a great leader, she can lead our alliance!" "Sounds great!" says Dusk. "Let's start training!" Looks like we found the perfect fit for our alliance. The 4 of us work together in training until the Group Training section is over.

Pinkamena Diane Pie, District 4
After days of Group Training it is announced that it is finally time for the Individual Training. I am glad because I am in a need of some fun! It was pretty boring in the Group Training, as I have planned to be alone since the moment I stepped onto the train. There wasn't really much to do other than some stupid no-fun stations. I am waiting for the Individual Training because I heard they have realistic dummies with blood! I haven't had the taste of blood in a long time, and if the dummies really do have blood, killing them will be a refreshing experience. After a night of sleep, I am guided into a large room next to an even larger room. 55 other tributes surround me. Some, knowing of my personality, try to stay away from me. After some boring moments of hearing other tribute's names get called, I find out that it is finally my turn. A voice announces my name, and I head through the doors and into the huge room.

In the room, I can see the thing I was looking for; dummies lined up in a row. I can also see some knives in the weapons ract. I am sure this will work. "Pikamena Pie. District 4." I announce to the Gamemakers so I can get their attention. They all look at me. It is time to start my act.

I run over to the weapon's ract, take what seems like the sharpest knife available, and run over to the dummies. One by one, I slice at their neck, arm, leg, you name it. Turns out the word was right; blood splashed from the spots where I cut the dummies at. Feeling the blood on my face is a great experience for me. After doing this for a while, I realised I have a good chance to have the feeling of torturing someone; something I haven't done in a long time. Once I get to the last dummy, I knock it down, lay down on it, and quietly slice through spots on its head. I take the blood coming from the bloody spots and wipe over my face. After having fun with the dummy for a bit, I put all my force on one final stab in the forehead before standing up. The Gamemakers surprised faces tells it all. I get dismissed to leave the room, feeling great about that experience. I hope to have another when the games start.

Justice Endevour, District 10
I have been waiting for seemlingly hours as tribute after tribute is called; reducing the population of the room. I am sitting next to Grace (13) and Radiant (11), the other tributes in my alliance other than me that hasn't gone to the Individual Training yet. I have formed a little private alliance with Poppa (4), Lily (7), Grace (13), and Radiant (11), who was originally on the Careers until he decided to leave them to join us. Good choice there, as I hate the Careers like every Non-Career does. After talking with Radiant and Grace for a bit, I finally hear my name getting called. I head through the doors into a very large room with the Gamemakers watching from the side. They appear tired and drunk. I don't blame them, I am like the 40th tribute or something to do this.

I look to see what I can do. I am not very good with weapons but I am good at evading traps. I look toward this one section with an obstacle course that includes swimming, climbing, you name it. I shall complete the obstacle course so the Gamemakers can see my stealthy power. "Justice Endevour, District 10." I say to the Gamemakers loudly to get their attention. They look at me half tired, but still good enough so they can pay attention. Now it is time to test my skills.

I start off by running toward the beginning of the obstacle course. I first quickly swim through a small pool. Then, I see vines over a much larger pool. Looks like this time I will have to use the vines. I swing and climb from vine to vine until I reach the other side. This is much easier than I thought it would be. Next, I see these arrow machines shooting arrows every few seconds. They must be out of rubber but I still can't fail here. I study the pattern of the darts before running and avoiding getting hit. I am feeling great so far! Lastly, I see a tree I must climb from branch to branch. I use all my skills to climb the tree and step on the branches. I nearly fall off after hearing one branch crack a bit, but I manage to be very careful on the branch and get through without the branch snapping and making me fall off. At the top of the tree lies a white flag. I hold it up signalling I completed the course and the Gamemakers clap for me. I climb down, feeling great about my performance. I hope I can get a good training score; I need to prove to the others that I am a good alliance leader.

Hazel Underwood, District 8
I am waiting in a hotel room with one of my District partners, Hibernius (8). There are two hotel rooms for each District this year due to the fact that there are twice the amount of tributes. Fortunately, I am with Hibernius, whom I have formed a little private alliance with. He, like me, volunteered for the games despite being in a Non-Career District. In fact, I am only 12 and I volunteered, something nobody would expect a 12 year old to do, even one from a Career District. I have big reason on why I volunteered, and only my family and Hibernius knows. When I was a kid, I had cancer, a throat cancer that is bound to finish me eventually. After seeing a commerical for a treatment for cancer, I know my only hope is to win this game. The treatment costs a lot of money, and the only way I could possibly afford it is winning the games. Hibernius has also shared his story with me. After getting the District 10 boy last year, Phoenix, to volunteer, Hibernius felt bad after seeing that he didn't survive. Now, he is trying to make it up by volunteering for the games. Because we seem to be in similar situations, we decided to form an alliance.

After a bit, I can see the Head Gamemaker start to announce the training score results on TV. I pay attention to see the results. The Capital puts up pretty good scores with three 7's and one 8. District 1 and 2 had great scores like anyone would predict; with each posting up three 9's and one 10. District 3 posted slightly lower scores with three 7's and one 8. District 4, however, seems scary. Only 1 tribute put up a 9 while two others put up 10's. Worst of all, the crazy messed up Pinkamena (4) posts an 11, impressive as it is rare for tributes to post higher than a 10. Some 8's and 7's and one 6 is posted from Districts 5-7. Now time to see what Hibernius and I got. First, we see Hibernius get a 8. A pretty good score for someone from District 8. I get a 7, but still very good considering I am only 12. I feel proud of the scores Hibernius and I posted. The other two District 8 tributes Archie (8) and Anastasia (8) post a 7. No noticeable scores are seen throughout the rest of the Districts except for a 9 from the District 11 male who I think was with the Careers but may of left and a 10 from the crazy boy from District 12. Everything else is just 5's, 6's, 7's, and 8's. After all scores are told, we turn the TV off and start to get prepared for the revealation of the Arena and the actual games to start.

Training Scores And Rankings
KEY:

11-12: YOU ARE AWESOME!!!

9-10: You Did Great!!

7-8: You Did Good!

4-6: You did Ok.

1-3: you could do better...

Clozie Crisante, District 2
I am in the Careers' alliance. Our alliance is weird this year; NONE of the District 4 tributes are in our alliance this year, which has to be a first; especially in a games with double the tributes. Despite this, ALL of the District 1 and 2 tributes are in our alliance. This list includes Savera (1), Galina (1), Ceour (1), Gauis (1), Allan (2), Cira (2), Clozie (2), Yumi (2), and me, Clozie (2). Aston (C) from the Capital is also present in our alliance. Radiant (11) WAS with our alliance before joining some other silly alliance. What a traitor; I hope he dies in the Bloodbath. I do know I was the 4th highest ranked tribute and highest ranked Career, which is good for my chances of being leader of the alliance, which STILL hasn't been decided. Then again, as a Career leader, I will have to act rough and tough, and I know deep inside of me I am a very kind person. I just don't want to admit it. I say goodnight to Cira (2), who is in the room with me before going to sleep for the night and getting ready for the big day tomorrow.

Taylor Quincy, District 13
I am in one of the District 13 rooms next to one of my District partners, Tristan (13). We are both in the Anti-Career alliance; the biggest alliance in the game by a LONG shot. Its a long list, but I will try to remember all the alliance members. I know Kacey (9) is our leader with Connor (7) and BeDazzlia (C) co-leading. As for the others, I think we have Winter (3), Kodai (4), Kingsley (5), Ophelia (6), Aventus (6), Anastasia (8), Archie (8), Michel (9), Sequoia (11), and, of course, Tristan and I. Its a long list, but I think we have gotten to know each other well enough the past couple days to get used to each other and know who's who. We just need to be ready for the big day tomorrow. I say good night to Tristan before going to sleep for the night.

Hibernius Rashid, District 8
I am in the hotel room with Hazel (8) just like I was this morning when they announced the Individual Training Scores and released the ranks chart. We have been preparing for the big day tomorrow. I am in an alliance with Hazel because of our similar backstories on how we got here. I know there are many tougher tributes and bigger alliances out there, but we needed to volunteer. I didn't want to go through guilt throughout my entire life, and Hazel didn't want his life to end from cancer. The best we could do was volunteer for the games and hope we can win. I say goodnight to Hazel before going to sleep for the night.

Dusk Olive, Capital
I am in one of the Capital hotel rooms with my sister, Dawn (C). Just like our names, we are complete opposites. I am good at using weapons but not so good at using resources and all for staying alive. Dawn is just the opposite; bad at using weapons but good at using survival skills. Despite our extreme differences, we managed to work together and form an alliance with Sharpe (7) and Wire (3), who nicely asked us to ally with them. They were very nice to us in training, so I trust them. Now, though, I should get rested for the big day tomorrow. I say goodnight to Dawn before going to sleep for the night.

Daniel Lores, District 5
I am in a hotel room with my sister, Hailee (5). We are in an alliance together. We are aware of the other big alliances out there, but we feel like we are good with each other. Hailee is good offensively, while I am good defensely, so if we can just combine our strengths, we can defiantly take on others. Probably not the big alliances, so we will try to stay hidden during the games. Then again, who knows what the twist brings to the Arena? I think about it after saying goodnight to Hailee and going to sleep for the night.

Finale Spectrus, District 7
I am in one of the District 7 hotel rooms with one of the District 7 girls, Lily (7). I am currently the youngest of the Spectrus family members. I am just 14 years old yet I volunteered because about 2 weeks before the reapings on my 14th birthday, a bunch of rebels stormed through my house and beat me up badly. I was told that I had only 4 weeks to live before the damage finishes me off. The only way the Capital could heal me completely was if I could win the Hunger Games. That is why I am here and why I volunteered. It is better to at least have a chance of winning than having certain death. Speaking of the games, I am in an alliance with Blade (6). Although we are only an alliance of 2, we made a truce with the Anti-Careers. Prehaps we can ally with them around midway throught the games. I think about that before going to sleep for the night.

Radiant Tayz, District 11
I am in one of the District 11 hotel rooms with one of the District 11 girls, Sally (11). I don't know why I decided to be in a room with her, but I guess I did that to cheer her up; she is only 12 and only good with a knife. She is also the only tribute to get lower than a 6 on training with her 5. I mainly tried to keep her confident for the games. As for me, I am in an alliance with a couple other tributes. There isn't any true name for our alliance, but we do know that our alliance consists of Justice (10) as leader along with Poppa (4), Lily (7), Grace (13) and I. I was originally going to ally with the Careers but I decided I would be mistreated badly since I was from a Non-Career District and instead decided to team with a nice small alliance. I feel good with my move, but the Careers may view me as a big target by doing this. I decide to not think about it and just go to sleep for the night.

Hayden Austin, District 10
I am the leader of an alliance secretly known between us as "The Rebels." We are called this because we are tired of the actions President Fire has done lately. I mean, everything was going perfectly fine in Panem until President Fire came out of nowhere and re-started the Hunger Games. Now they even decide to double the tributes reaped, really? Rumor has it President Fire is really some evil professor or something trying to take over not just Panem, but the whole Earth as well, and a group of Rebels secretly took some tributes from the previous Hunger Games and used them to be part of the rebels. I don't think that is true, as the Capital should surely know and punish the Rebels, but who knows? All I know is that I must guide my alliance which conists of Gerda (12) as my Co-Leader and Allysa (9), Sally (11), Bolton (11), Caitlyn (12), Jack (13), and I. If the rumor is true, then hopefully the Rebels try to rescue at least some of us from the Arena. I think about the possiblities before going to sleep for the night.

Kiki Elosy, District 3
I am in one of the District 3 hotel rooms waiting for the night to end. I am in a private little alliance known as the "Sneaks." We are named this because our plan is to just run away from the Bloodbath and try to stay hidden throughout the games before coming out of nowhere when there are little tributes left. Then again, the Arena disasters can greatly affect our plan. Nobody but the Gamemakers know what the twists will be anyway. I think about what the disasters could possibly be and what we can do to survive them before going to sleep for the night.

I am in the same District 3 hotel room as one of my female District partners, Kiki (3). We both seem to be more caught in thinking than sleeping. I decided to not be in an alliance this game. I know there are other big bad alliances out there, but I just want to win alone for my little sister Brittany who is not in this game. I miss her so much, and it would really be great if I could win for her. Even though the other tributes in the games seem tough with big alliances and even the other loners, Pinkamena (4), Chuck (9), Midareta (12), and Gunjar (12) all seem decent threats. I am a confident person, though, and I know I must win this for not just myself, but my sister, my family, my friends, and pretty much my entire District. I think about what I can do to win before going to sleep to rest for the big day tomorrow.

Allan Smith, District 2
I say my final goodbye to my stylist before walking into a tube and getting pulled up. I heard the Arena this year will have some Natural Disaster or something each Day with the exception of Day 1. I don't need to worry about that, but still no tribute has any idea on what the Arena environment will look like. The best I can do is just stay with the Careers for the Day. Now, though, I have a Bloodbath to deal with. The tube rises up and releases me into this plains-like area. The weather feels perfectly normal, so it looks like there will be no Disaster today. I look around to see if I could find any of my other fellow Careers. As silly as it seems, we have no real leader this year. Pretty much everyone is equal in what we do. I do see Cira (2) and Galina (1) close to my tube, so maybe I should stick with one of them but at the same time watch my back at all times. In the Cornucopia I see useful supplies like every Hunger Games Cornucopia has; weapons, food, boxes, crates, backpacks, and much more. If we Careers can conquer the Cornucopia then we will be good to dominate the games. Then again, I just remembered on how many members the Anti-Careers have this year. They literially have at least 15, probably even more. I am sure though that fewer strong tributes can take over more weak tributes. All the thinking just made me remember about the time. I look at the clock and there is just 12 seconds left. I better get ready!

GONG!
