For 54, this means I'm reading Jasna Michelson.

Just started reading the Bloodbath -- aaaaaand my tribute's randomly selected for death. Guess I'm picking a new one, haha.

It's interesting to see how the bloodbath mechanics have evolved. I've seen other sites do the randomly generated deaths thing, and I'm kind of glad we have a dice-based system now. Makes it a little more exciting, to me.

I'll be following Ismene Clemet now.

Ok! So I finished reading the 54th. Since Ismene died on Day 3 (I think -- random mutt attack), I followed her ally Anastasia Estrange. These Games had much shorter posts than more current Games, so it was a quick read. Anastasia lasted until the day before the finale, and was killed by Arbor in a one-on-one battle.

It was very interesting to see the old combat system. I'm not entirely sure how it worked, and I see that there were multipliers in damage rolls that aren't there anymore. I liked some of the injuries in that system though, like gashes on the face and torso. I didn't see any instas, though I could have just completely missed them.

Anastasia and her writer really evolved over the course of the Games. Her alliance dying off really evolved her character, and the final battle with Arbor was probably my favorite thread. It was kinda morbidly hilarious how they kept missing and blocking, but the conversation seemed to develop both characters nicely. I really enjoyed it.

I didn't read the Finale because I figured that Anastasia had made it far enough for me to move onto the next Games in good conscience. I'm going to start with the D6 female in each Games, as my primary character is a D6 female and I feel it's only fair. For the 55th, this means I'll read Estrella Angelo.

Double post -- apologies. I'm just sort of commenting as I read, haha.

Sooooooo Estrella died in the bloodbath, presumably by stepping of the platform too early. Bummer. I went to a random number generator to see who I should read next, and I actually got Aranica. Hooray for getting to read all the way to the end!

~~also dru and aranica i am cry~~

Summary of that finale particularly, holy hell.

My favorite part of the 55th was the big fight on Island 6 on Day 6, where just about everyone who's left (Dru, Argent, Shanks, Jango, Aranica, Carex, and Mel) is there – and Carex hits Ara, so Dru puts her sword through his eye. And Shanks senses this as a sort of point of hostility for Dru, so he manipulates her and the rest of their allies into fighting amongst themselves and all the boys end up dead (and then Dru hunts down Mel and kills her too). That island on that day embodies at least a good seven of my ten-ish favorite things to have in Games threads.
