Due to the rather impressive number of complaints from people both connected to and bystanders of the fight, the descision regarding Team EXP and Team 13 has been revoked. In fact, the fight itself has been revoked- that is to say, it never existed. All killed tributes are still alive, and any injuries recieved during the fight never happened. The fight will be redone with one modification: the wolf does not exist (for the reasoning behind this, see below). As the making of the handmade spear (I don't like "homemade" because they're not exactly at home, but it's the same spear) was RPed, the weapon will not be taken away (thansk to the randomizer, it didn't impact the fight anyway).
Please be aware that we did not make this descision lightly. None of us are thrilled with the idea of rescinding something previously assumed to be final, and we're sorry for the confusion, the wait, and the general frustration. We've looked at multiple aspects of the fight and the situation surrounding it, though, and decided that this is for the best.
Thank you all for your patience while the staff reviewed that matter. From what I've seen, most of you have handled the situation very gracefully, for which we're all thankful. If you have any questions, just ask and we'll be happy to answer. :)
Team 13 and Team EXP, good luck with your fight tomorrow (as in Day 3, not literally tomorrow). As always, may the odds be ever in your favor!
(Regarding the wolf, because I know there will be questions. Team 13, this has nothing to do with any grudge against you; it's simply that we've looked at the realism of the situation, and there is none. Even if the team was able to tame a wolf so quickly, training any animal, even a domestic dog, to kill specific people would take months. Heck, it takes weeks to teach puppies to sit, let alone adult dogs that are. Add that to the wild nature of the wolf, and there's simply no way. As with everything else, simply ask for further explanation, and it will be given!)
