So here it is at last: we've been open since August (thanks for that, by the way) and the Quarter Quell is upon us.
Below the cut, here are some things that we want to make sure to clarify, and also ask for input on!
1) The Reaping is not anytime soon. Like in the books, the announcement was made at least a month in advance of the actual Reaping. This is to give everyone some time to react to the idea, make plans, hustle any revolutionary tendencies along - you get the idea. IT WILL NOT BE HAPPENING UNTIL AT LEAST FEBRUARY. POSSIBLY A LITTLE LATER. (Your overlords are both talking this over as you read this, and it will probably definitely be "later than that".) Congrats, victors, have fun with this hanging over your heads.
2) We've got a lot of members, some from the same Districts! After discussing it, we've decided we won't be waiving the "one male, one female Tribute from each" Game standard.
3) To that end, we wanted to float an idea by you all: we were thinking of running this a little bit like an actual Reaping, because we will need some members on the outside of the Arena in a Haymitch/Heavensbee capacity. But before we do that, we would like member feedback on it: would you guys have thoughts on letting us know, via dropbox, your preference for your character, but ultimately leaving it up to chance? Let us know your thoughts on doing it like this below!
4) We will also be coming up with a list of other past Victors, because also to that end, we're going to need a couple of Brutus/Enobaria/Cashmere/Gloss types in the ring, so it's not just all of us, you know, forming an alliance and patiently cooperating. So you'll have that to refer to! And we thought that'd be a fun thing for Capitol chatter, people taking odds on who it'll be for Hunger Games: All Stars.
Thanks, guys! We're really excited about taking the game in this new direction, and you have all been super great. Feedback and ideas on this would be way helpful!
