Bloodbath Truces

There is the potential that we will end up with as many as 55 tributes these Games. Aya and I would like for each and every one of you to keep this in mind and realize that it is both a huge undertaking and an amazing opportunity for everyone. We have been planning these Games since the 70th — July 2015 — well over a year ago. We have thought everything out with all of you in mind, carefully thinking over what's the most fun, what's the most fair, what's the most exciting? Please trust us. All we want is the best possible experience for everyone.

Always do the fun thing!

With that in mind, bloodbath truces are strictly forbidden these Games. I know the number of people participating feels daunting and I know you're worried for your character's safety. Please trust us to have thought it through and let us trust you too. Please think about the numbers and realize that we're trying to prevent 20 person, 30 person, 40 person alliances. More than keeping track of everything, this is the idea that almost talked us out of this Quell twist.

Your allies are your allies. No one else is. If we hear of any alliances working together to strategize and coordinate attacks then all tributes involved will be subject to Red Cards.
