Okay, so, Clove got an idea and was like, "OMWOW, I MUST SHARE THIS!", only without the caps. . . . .

No offense is intended through these suggestions; the staff already does an outstanding job with the Games. But I liked these ideas:

There be machines in the Arena, because in the books, Katniss mentioned the machines, and was even attacked by one, so maybe the staff could do like they do with mutts, and RP-machines? So far, it seems as if the Gamemakers have no power in the Arena-(but we know that if Aya wanted so your Tribute would be blown up, deep fried eaten spit out, and eaten again before the gong even rang)

Tributes that are ganged up on at the Bloodbath ~~*cough*Hermione*cough*~~, and got no items at all because they were so ganged up on and had to leave, should receive at least their first item to be fair, because say your Tribute got attacked while you were offline, you HAD to leave, because you Tribute Damage Score was, ohhhh, say. . . . .37.5~~*cough*Hermione*cough*~~, and they HAVE to leave. Well, YOU had planned on getting things, but you can't because one more post and he/she is dead ~~just like Hermione~~ and you don't get any items, well then they are guaranteed dead. Soooooooo, I like that one.

Career Tributes automatically get to be "exempt" for at least ONE STATION (since they are Careers, it makes real sense, I mean, on this site, being a Career is nothing but maybe guaranteed an alliance).

The "Attacking Only 6 Times in Order"-thing; concerns me. (No offense staff, you are all awesome!), in my opinion, it is just like an insta-kill. That rule almost guarantees death. If the person/people attacking you all have weapons then six attacks, gets you probably around up to 20-30 damage, and then someone else posts and your attackers can post again, and BAM, your Tribute is dead just like ~~Hermione~~ Emma.

Again, NO OFFENSE intended to anyone at all! the staff is awesome, I am just a stupid member who has ideas if the staff says no, then obviously there is a logical and political reason against the idea. If they like it, and agree to put it on the site, then that is AWESOME!

Thanks,

Clove

Yeah, so I'm going to take this one my one:

Um, machines, what? Literally remember zero machines from books... perhaps you were hallucinating? In terms of the Gamemakers interacting with the Arena itself — we do, actually. It depends on the Arena. For example, the islands sinking in the 55th Games, or the crater eruptions/avalanche/forest fire in the 54th. Aside from that, it's hard to trigger a mechanical trap without seeming exceedingly biased. For example, if we really wanted a tribute dead and we conveniently had... um, what, machines? Boom. Done.

If tributes use their brains pretty well, they can avoid being attacked (or attacked very much) in between their intro and their first fight post. I don't know what you're doing in this paragraph besides complaining.

We've already talked about a benefit of former Career training which will be implemented next Games.

Six attacks is a reasonable number, actually. It's unfair to the people in the bloodbath if they have to sit there and wait... and wait... and wait, you know? Six is a good number. Because if the tributes are on regularly enough (even every couple of days, depending) they probably won't even get up that high unless they fall victim to the clever strategy of other members, or even if that. Take, for example, Johnathan Wrusche, who posted early on in the bloodbath, even getting attacked several times, then vanished for long enough to accrue the 6-hit limit. He's still only at 19 damage. This is a non-issue. Ideally, I'd even think that a higher amount of attacks would be better, but it's fine as it is.

And the reasons are logical, not political, by the way. Site politics have no place in the Games.

I think my own input ~~*coughbargingindon'tmindmecough*~~ will further solidify or throw out there what Aya said/didn't mention.

~~We don't need machines; we have shoes.~~ If you're recalling the fire contraption from Book 1, I wouldn't say it was an actual machine of sorts. Katniss said there had to be an end to it because of range, but I don't think it was a machine. As Aya said, we have natural ~~or unnatural~~ events to distract and/or wreck damage points to the Tributes.

Er... yes. I do believe this question is more of a leeway to complain than to actually propose an idea; your Tribute had their weapon and got items, so why are you putting it as she was pretty much attacked as innocent!oh!woe!is!her? *tired* Anyways, that's where strategy comes in; and, as long as you don't gain the wrath! of most members in any way shape or form, you really shouldn't whore attention on your Tribute.

We're pretty much still discussing (I think) on that. One of my main concerns already brought up ~~and not talked about!~~.

The 6 attacks was pretty much brought up from Jasik and his Tribute; and, after the staff pretty much resurrected him, he was able to escape in one shape. You got to think out of the box more for this strategy. ^^ (And I would agree on the higher attacks, Aya)

This can't be political ~~as this site is an oligarchy/dictatorship, dammit~~.
