Looking at the first Quarter Quell 

HAHA - Cato for the Hunger Games!

@@hogondoz_7522 vote CATO and he will bring your district glory!

Lmaoooo

I would pay good money to see that

Welcome to the first Tributional debate!

District 2* as they won the first quarter quell and would have most likely won the 3rd Quarter quell, due to their only competition being Fenic, who would most likely have been killed by Katnas, due to Snow wanting everyone to hate Katnas before they killed her.

@@freddiemedley5580 no it’s district 12 lol, they’re had 3 tributes survive a quarter quell lol

@@jamesvas6986 District 2 would have most likely won the third Quarter quell if it didn't end early for the reasons I stated above, district 2 deserves the credit for the third quarter quell instead of District 12.

@@freddiemedley5580a district 11 male won the first quarter quell

​@@freddiemedley5580 Peeta killed Brutus (D2 M) and Enobaria (D2 F) has no allies left she was the easiest target at that point, D12 was the only district to still have both tributes alive which means better chances of winning. The games ended before only one tribute remained so victory goes to D12 for surviving without losing a tribute. D2 comes second place after Brutus died.

@@ThatFreakingGinger being as we know the winner and the full ending, it doesn’t feel all that necessary lol

@@EdTheCreator I agree and in one of the books we even had a quick summary of it I would however love to watch a movie on his games just not necessarily spend the time reading when I know the outcome

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣so tru

Ikr lmao

I would NEVER give my family a place in my Victor’s Village house. NEVER.

Whoa, 400 likes? Thanks!

*child sees parents put their name in* child: hUH *day of reaping* "this child and this child will be in the games" child:hUUUUh *child hides and kills last person* *child in victors village* *someone knocks on door* mom: why didn't you take us to live with you? child: um because-

Agreed

Same I think that why haymitch was chosen

@@user-jp6zl5yd1h Haymitch was not voted... He was reaped on the 2nd quarter quell. (X2 tributes).

@@stickmanguy5583 oh yeah I mixed up the quarter quells thanks so much

@@user-jp6zl5yd1h No worries.

what do you mean by juveniles?

@@gracer1996 prob the younger half of 12-18 so like 12-14

@@Axe-tj7ktyea i don’t agree but i think that’s what this person meant. idk what else they could have meant

@@reeferbonesit probably means criminals like kids in juvie

@@gracer1996criminals that are children basically

Maybe they just voted normally or something, or try something different with voting, like you can’t vote your own child. The Capitol turns a blind eye but they are fully aware of them.

I dont think there were as much careers in the 25th.

@@goodnight-moon564 I dont think there were as much careers in the 25th.

@Awesome Ibaadut they probably put in a provision that said volunteering would not be allowed for those games.

Campaign for that like you’re campaigning for class president or sumn

Lucy Gray

​​@@eduardoduc-bonilla5540 Her case was different. She got a beef with mayor's daughter and then her father rigged the reaping for that. People in district(generally) didn't hate Lucy Gray They were not her biggest fans too but they were mostly neutral to her I guess.

Smart decision.

But it’s still horrible

Plot twist: weaker kids uses the stronger one as a shield

me too lol

Lol

I would vote for myself

You would either be really pleased because they thought you could win, or really angry because they thought you weren’t a big loss

I don’t think they would do that cuz this is panem not among is

I suspect that the 3rd Quarter Quell's gimmick was changed in a desperate attempt to target and get rid of Katniss specifically because by all means, the gimmick they went with fundamentally contradicts "the point" or "fairness" of the games. Winning the games is supposed to give you access to becoming a member of the Capitol's class. "To become one of them" is a "reward" that helps even the Capitol's own people in accepting and rationalizing the sheer violence and dehumanization that happens during the game's process. The notion helps paint the games as a tradition even, a rite of passege that grants a tribute the opportunity of being a darling or honorary memeber of the Capitol. It gives the Capitol this false sense of mercy towards the one's they put in this sacrificial spectacle. Long story short, the 3rd Quarter Quell's gimmick spat even at the believes of the people that thought the games were fair or needed. So, I think it was an extreme miscalculation on Snow's part. He neglected even the favor of the Capitol's people, further fanning the flames of his own downfall.

Think about this: if katniss would have never volunteered, it would have made no difference because Prim does anyway.

@@stickmanguy5583 I just find it so hard to believe that of all people to die she was one of them, and it could have been avoided if coin hadn’t have given the order to send her into combat, knowing she was going to die after the second bombs went off. I can’t even watch the final movie because of it😭

@@aaronward4822 It's sad ain't it.

@@aaronward4822 yeah but it had to happen for the story

so was Rue.

And then face their parents. They'd have a suspicion that it was you, because their kid was always mean with you, and they'd always be thinking "that kid sent my child to die. Why do I have to suffer while his parents have nothing to fear? How could they birth such a monster!"

@@manuekhuntyk2563 what do you mean "it was you"? it's a voting system. So if they do get sent in, it's because other people voted for them too. Which means you can't, by definition, be singled out as "the one" who sent their kid to die.

But imagine if they won and become richer and more famous than you😭

Same

But you would be killed by a game maker if you say garbage about the government

@@grahamfaulkner3969 no you become an avox (the Capitol cut out your tongue so you can’t talk)

@@aAdjnks no, thats if you’re not reaped however if you are reaped to become a tribute best believe you’ll have one of the worst deaths in the games.

@@tsuyuasui7297 oh yeah I was tallking from the POV your not in the games

That sounds like an idea the Capitol would have. But do you mean only the other possible tributes voted or the entire population of the district? I ask since I was also wondering about that.

i think they would still make the district vote in order to get through the message capitol was trying to send out that quarter quell, then rig the whole thing and throw whoever they want into the game

could you imagine if a victor in that situation was from District 12? They could "rub salt in the wounds" when they seen some one in need. Meaning say they see some one hungry, "Oh you need food? Wait you voted for me to die, starve!!!"

Thank you!

@Richard Roxburg Effie I hate to admit that she is not real though I wish she was I meant she was the first how do I put it she was the first real person I have seen that can rock it

Hi

lol

Thank you!

If you've watched all the movies you should know what happens but basically they go on something called the Victor's tour where they go to every district and give a speech out and then there are interviews and after your a mentor for the rest of your life

I have, they're posted on my Patreon page!

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cnFTsFvFIpM.html She made a video about it already.

Wow, I never thought about that but it sounds very convincing. Maybe this was also the time when the Capitol's focus shifted from punishment of the districts to entertainment for the Capitol's citizens.

@@theresaalbert3915 Yeah I agree with the entertainment part. We learned in ballad of S&S that nobody in the capital really cared. This was the 10th games and it was when the 1st interest started to be shown from capital citizens. The first 10 games were simply punishment to the districts. So I'm sure 15 years later, at the 25th games, they had the capital citizens 100% on board and ready for some bloodlust voting competition shows.....and I bet almost anything, the capital allowed the capital citizens to vote who they wanted in from one for the districts. (Unbeknownst to that district of course). Could you imagine, its the 22 districts picks vs the 2 capital picks. It would draw huge ratings and lots of bets. We need more in the young snow series. There was alot of insight and so much more to explore.

Unfortunately I haven't read the Ballad yet, but how you describe it makes a lot of sense (I didn't feel spoilered by what you wrote, don't worry). There could even been some sort of protest in the Capitol in the beginning, demanding to end the games after a decade maybe. But that's only my theory, I really have to read the book 😄 The theory with the Capitol votes also sounds very interesting. That could well be a thing. I could also imagine a pre-selection from which the Capitol citizens could choose, as their votes should not be spread out over the whole population of a district.

I have also been wondering about who is allowed to vote. Maybe all the kids could vote, too, once they turned twelve since they also could sign up for Tessera then. It could give them the feeling of being less powerless as usual but on the other hand they have to live with the burden they might have sentenced someone to death, even though it is not their fault. I could totally see this cruelty installed by the Capital. For the Career Districts I agree with you. The trainers of the training centers might recommend certain teenagers and depending on the district size there might even be previous tests for the tributes to select the two most suitable ones. Of course there will be some super proud people who think they know better but considering that sending the victorious tribute will benefit all of them, they would probably be a minority.

First! I never realized that either! I think you had a cool theory! :D also your ideas were so cool for the quinquennial quells :)

They're fanfiction

Thank you!

yEaHhH

@@ihavelemonade5640 Very true. How sexist these captions are.

Thank you so much ☺️

@@StoryDiver OMG thank you so much for the ❤️ and the reply

Thank you!

@@StoryDiver ofc!!💕

Thank you!

+3rdEye Lenny My thoughts exactly. Maybe everyone that year- parents and children alike- were entitled to Tesserae free of charge to help pacify the district's during the high pressure and high stress voting system, and incentivise them to vote more than once. Here, the Tesserae pays for itself in the tough choice of votes against someone else. Like, instead of a strike against your name, it's a strike against someone else's of your choice. Each month of Tesserae counts as a vote, so every month every citizen can opt to vote more than once to gain more grain and oil, for once allowing the District's to *"Capitalise"* on food rations. Safe to say those that entered 12 votes (1 for each month of the year in the lead up to the Q.Q) would be relatively well fed. _"You voted? Here, take Tesserae in exchange."_ It would encourage people. To make it even more sadistic, what if every time you voted against someone and gained more Tesserae, an entry of your name was subtracted from the pool? That would be a further incentive. You could hypothetically have your own name removed up to 12 times that year! *Horribly, it might even help the district's to understand and empathize with the Capitol's tyranny.*

There had to of been the age limit in place. The capital wouldn’t care who went in. They put children in and arena who aren’t criminals

Thank you!

It was because Haymitch would be no help in the arena because hes an alcoholic and not physically that strong. Also it works better because Haymitch can help them on the outside while peeta helps her on the inside

Thank you!
