As a reader (and as a Gamemaker) one of my favorite things to see in the Arena is when tributes in alliances turn on one another of their own volition. It's just... fun. And the posts? Always interesting to see the tributes justifying it. For some, Betrayal is as easy as filling a water jug; for others, the guilt kicks in and it's... well, amusing. Thoughts?

I love reading about it as well. I also find that it's more realistic because an alliance can't last forever. Even when it's happening to you [happened to me in the 56th and being abandoned in these games], it's still fun to see how strategies were played out by others and completely blindsided you. To me, playing a tribute is like a game of chess. You are doing your strategy and trying to check the king while your opponent is doing the same thing. And to sit back and see their strategy beat yours is really cool. At least in my opinion. Plus it's great for character development.

But members need to be ready for the aftermath if they handle it in a less-than-savory way. It gets ugly.

I second that, shrimp. At the same time... there's nothing better than some good ol'fashioned back-stabbing. Plus, as Damen said, it makes the Games more realistic. How much loyalty should these kids from different Districts that haven't even know each other for a week really have for each other. I personally think not much.

Damn limits

First time posting on my new Macbook. :D Anyway, I do like betrayal. I feel like betrayal is one of the most realistic things you could do in the Games, and from experience, it can harm you just as much as it can help you. These Games haven't been too, y'know, betraying ~~other than what I've been a part of D8~~, but I still feel like they're some of the most realistic Games we've had so far. Not sure why, though. This post was sort of nonsensical, but that's okay. I just wanted to post on my Macbook. xD
