What was the 3rd Quarter Quell going to be originally? 

Hi friends! A quick reminder not to post spoilers for "The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes". The book isn't out in many countries yet, and won't be for another few weeks, so it's incredibly inconsiderate. Also, many of you have been asking when I'll make videos about it. I won't be making videos about it until the movie adaptation is released, as this firstly gives everyone time to buy and read the book, and secondly will allow us to use the secondary canon that is a movie to base ideas off of. Thank you and happy bubbles!

I think that for the 3rd Quarter Quell, the tributes could have been launched at the edge of the arena, so they have to run kilometers to get to the cornucopia for weapons and supplies. This would be a reminder that it is very difficult to get what you want, in this case showing that the rebels were very far from winning the war with the capitol 75 years ago.

Watching this video and looking at the comment section taught me one thing: Damn, we would be so goddamn sadistic as gamemakers.

Katniss actually mentions in the books that victors’ children/relatives are reaped too often for it to be a coincidence. I definitely think the 3rd QQ was planned in advance.

To remind them that the war was called the “dark days” the arena would be in Total darkness? Not sure about the reaping though.

One possibility is this: "to remind the districts that their rebellion has robbed their children of having a future, only 12 year olds shall be reaped" (to symbolize how these kids would die before they had even lived) or "only 18 year olds (or even 19 year olds!) shall be reaped" (to symbolize that just when you think you're safe and ready to live without the fear of being reaped, the Capitol can change things in an instant) Another idea: "to remind the districts that the rebels put their families at risk and were unable to protect them from the might of the Capitol, volunteering will be prohibited". Basically, whoever gets reaped, stays reaped, and nobody can volunteer for them. This would definitely change things in the Career districts, where volunteering is everything to them. It might even out the field a bit.

My idea: To remind the districts that everyone was affected by the war they caused, everyone of any age can be reaped for the games.

There was an interview with Suzanne Collins and she hinted that in the third quarter quell the tributes will be brother and sister

Some ideas for Quells: No Weapons: To remind the districts that without the Capitol's technology they'd be defenseless, the arena will have no weapons, food, or the Cornucopia and all tributes must fight bare-handed Timed Arena: To remind the Districts that they were quickly subdued by the Capitol, the entire Games will take place over one day and night, and any survivors left in the last hour will be forced together for a final battle 12 Year Old Tribs: To remind the districts when they rebel theyre risking their childrens lives, all Tributes will be first-years, or age 12 Sibling Arena: To remind the districts that the rebellion meant brother fought brother, each reaped Trib must bring a sibling into the arena with them, or another family member if no sibling exists Unexpected: To remind the districts that the Capitol could take them down with no warning at any time, the Tribs will enter the arena without any training, only having 24 hours after arrival for assessments and interviews before being put in the arena Pick the Arena: the citizens of the Capitol vote on the terrain and motif of the arena, as well as the climate and other artificial dangers present Chose Your Fate: as a reminder that the rebels chose their fate out of selfishness, all Tribs must be volunteers, and if no one volunteers within 5 minutes, five 12-year-olds are Reaped for each gender that didn't volunteer

I have a few: • 'As a reminder to the districts that war turns even the most beautiful things ugly, the citizen's of the capitol will vote in the tributes based upon who they deem as the most visually appealing' - I think that would be super interesting when it comes to sponsors, because in past games usually it's the best looking tributes who do the best (think Finnick, Cashmere, Cato, Enobaria) • 'To remind the districts that even the power of love cannot overcome the power of the capitol, the 2 tributes will be reaped from already existing teenage couples known throughout the each district' - so there would only be young lovers competing against each other which I think would be super interesting as they would all be allies • 'To remind the districts that war is ever-changing and unpredictable, each day in the arena the tributes will experience a new environment, bringing changes in both terrain and mutations' - so each day there's a new arena • 'To remind the districts that the capitol always holds the power, the wealthiest citizen's of the capitol will be able to decide the fate of any tribute they wish' - so if they are rich enough they can pay to kill one of the tributes and get to choose how, with choice in mutt etc or even by hand if they pay enough I dunno something like that Omg I was writing this for so long I've missed my karate lesson I didn't even realize the time ahahaha

I’m jus saying, could you imagine being voted in to the 1st Quell by your own hometown? Like damn

What if they removed the cornucopia as a way to show the districts that soldiers in the war didn’t have a bunch of stuff to start out with?

**EDIT** TO THE COMMENTS SAYING I STOLE THESE IDEAS FROM A CAPITOLIO VIDEO: Look at the dates of his video and my comment here. Five months ago happened long before three weeks ago. Capitolio took my ideas without giving me credit and got a video with over 100k views. I didn't care for a while, because it ain't that serious. But when people ask you to give credit to the person who stole your ideas and cashed in on it, you can maybe understand why that's a lil' annoying. I have some ideas: only female tributes- since women decided to fight in the rebellion alongside men, they will suffer the consequences of the war just as the men do. only male tributes- to reinforce the idea that men should be strong and tough, but demonstrate that no man is stronger than the capitol. only 12 year old tributes- because the youngest children are the most vulnerable in times of times of civil unrest and the choice to rebel is the choice to put your children’s lives at risk. capitol selected tributes- to remind the districts that their rebellion caused the surveillance state of panem, citizens caught on camera or recorded assisting in rebel plots will have their children hand selected as tributes. sibling tributes- to show that to fight against the capitol is to fight against your own family, the male and female tributes from each district will be siblings. families die with tributes- to remind the districts that whole families died fighting in the rebellion, whenever a tribute dies in the arena, their entire family bloodline is executed back home. tribute chosen by reaped tribute- to remind the districts that to choose to go to war is to also send your neighbors to war with you, the male and female selected in the reaping will chose the male and female tributes to take their place in the games. EDIT (I thought of three more) no contact arena - as a reminder that food is a privilege gifted by the capitol, the tributes will be completely restrained and given no food or water until all succumb to dehydration and/or starvation except one. high iq tributes - as a warning that generations of the best and brightest could be wiped out in the event of a rebellion, the tributes will be reaped from the districts schools’ top %1 highest academically achieving students. low income tributes - as a warning that rebellion would only result in poverty and famine by consequence of the capitol, the tributes will be reaped from the lowest income house holds, families in poverty, and homeless families.

Or they get an access to the trackers of the other tributes, to show, that no one is able to hide from the capitol

Maybe a game without a canon or a screen who tells you who died and how much people died

This is horribly horrendous (but then again so is everything hunger games related. Imagine if the quarter quell was that parents of hunger games eligible children would be reaped, and forced to chose which of their children they would send to the games

As a reminder to the districts that the longer they fought, the more their people died, the games will go on for 5 weeks, with every week bringing 24 new tributes into the arena. I love this idea cause I’m just imagining like ten people lining at the end of woods waiting for the pedestals to come up and for the timer to go off so that they could kill the new tributes coming in and take their suplies. Also I would imagine that so the old tributes couldn’t take all the supplies before the new tributes came up, the land mines would circle all around the pedestals they’d also have to wait until the timer went off. As a reminder to the districts that they destroyed each other in their attempt to destroy the capitol, there will be six tributes reaped from each district. These tributes will fight with the three districts in their multiple of four. When only six remain in each of the three games, they will fight each other in a new arena until a lone victor remains. I.e. districts 1-4 together, 5-8 together, then 9-12. The one with 1-4 would be nuts with all the careers and then the smartest district of Panem as well.

“As a reminder that entire families died, the tributes shall be Husband and Wife”

My idea- One district is reaped by Snow and all tributes are reaped from that district. This can show how each district is vulnerable even perhaps district 2.

I have a few ideas! Hopefully, they all relate to the war in some way! "As a reminder to the rebels that it was ultimately the parents of the children sent into the war that suffered, the male and female tributes are to be reaped amongst the parents of each district." - Only parents of children who are eligible for reaping are to be reaped. "As a reminder to the rebels that it was the forefathers of the rebellion that initiated violence, each of the districts is to offer up two male tributes to compete." - Only male tributes. "As a reminder to the rebels that even the youngest of rebel children were not sheltered from the war, the male and female tributes reaped are to be twelve years of age." - Only tributes who are twelve years of age. "As a reminder to the rebels that through their choice of initiating violence, mothers orphaned their children, each district must offer two female tributes to compete." - Only female tributes. "As a reminder to the rebels that the war tore loving families apart, the tributes selected are to be brother and sister." - Much like Cashmere and Gloss, one name would be drawn (male or female) and whoever their brother/sister is would be their fellow tribute. "As a reminder to the rebels that even the strongest of them were forced to send their children into war, the male and female tributes are to be children of current victors." - Essentially any child of any victor, regardless if the victor is dead or alive. "As to remind the rebels of the Capitol’s generosity and forgiveness, only one tribute is to represent its district." - This would basically just have one big reaping ball with all the names combined, regardless of age or sex, and one name would be drawn.

I always thought that they'd remove the age limit... "As a reminder that there is no limit to the Capitals power, there will be no age limit in this year's games" Understandably the Careers will still be there albeit a bit older than usual, I imagine some of them being ones who were training for it but weren't selected to be the tribute at the time so they'll be looking for glory... so there'll probably be a rush to volunteer from the general populous ( trainers, peacekeepers, parents, training academy grads etc ) Poorer districts are a little more sad... Imagine an 8 year old being reaped with no one volunteering and getting thrown into the arena Sorry for the long paragraphs 😅😅

"As a reminder to the districts of Panem that their war caused great grief and suffering to their families, each reaped tribute shall be joined by the next youngest family member in the arena." imagine having to fight alongside your newborn brother/sister

“As a reminder of how parents betrayed their children by starting a war with the Capitol and depriving them of their parents and of their security: parents must choose which of their children’s names will be put into the reaping.” Only families with multiple children are eligible.

These comments are so creative. I always thought that Snows alternative to getting back at Katniss would be to reap from the siblings of the existing victors, otherwise why would she be so nervous watching his announcement? I think that’s what she was expecting.

I’ve always thought maybe the capitol would reap full families from each district and distribute them throughout the arena, having to look for one another but also staying alive would’ve meant that the districts must remember that they should stick with “their own kind” sort of

I have a couple of ideas myself. However the quarter quell seems to always have a twist on the reaping. Like the first one with the voting and the second one with double the amount of tributes. Even in the (new) third QQ the tributes where reaped out of the remaining Victor's from previous games.. So again the reaping gives a spin to the games. 1. However I always think about a QQ where the tributes won't have weapons to get to during the cornucopia. Just food. Because during war not everyone is blessed with having weapons. The capitol wants the districts to be reminded of it. This would also even out the chances of the careers and the others a bit more. 2. A QQ where the tributes are reaped of brothers and sisters only in each district so the papers would have combinations of 1 sister and 1 brother on them. During war entire families are the victim. To remind the districts of all the families lost during war these games would represent it. The capitol would love the tributes to have a bond like this. I could go on like this for a long time. Tho I think they would keep the special reaping thing for each QQ I would love to read / watch a hunger games about my first idea Love your vids from 🇧🇪

Maybe there could be a Quarter Quell where the tributes are reaped out of whoever had the highest amount of slips in the bowl that year? Targeting the 18 yr old poorer caretakes of families like Gale who need the tesserea to sustain their families. Then say the most amount of slips were 42 for Males shared among 8 different males only those 8 males in the district would be eligible for that Quell's reaping.

Yeah I wrote a comment about this. Plutarch swapped the letters in a deleted scene but in the books it's never mentioned.

The arena is a gaint flat plate form, I mean giant, and it slowly breaks on the edges pulling people in, and the amount of people is doubled

Katniss mentions in (I think it's Catching fire) that she never wants kids because the children of Victors end up as tributes a lot. Too often to be a coincidence. So I think the Capitol put Victors children in the games already. I think it could have been the tributes reaped from only the Districts 12 year olds, or even reap 10-12 year old kids for that year. It would show that, in the war, it was the youngest and most vulnerable who suffered the most.

I thought maybe, all eligible siblings of the child that is reaped also go into the games, because the choices of individuals effect not only them but their whole families. This might also make careers less likely to volunteer as well because even if they felt prepared they might have a younger sibling they felt wasn't. ALSO poorer people tend to have larger families meaning one district might reap 2 children each from a family of five where another district might reap 2 only children

What if they removed all weapons so its just hand to hand combat and threats that the gamemakers put in this is to remind them that their weapons were nothing compared to the capitols

Imagine being in the 25th hunger games knowing the people of your district hate you the most out of everyone and chose you to die pretty much 😭😂

Here are some ideas I had: Only one tribute from each district-probably an even number of boys or girls-to show that all of the districts had tiny chances of winning the war in the dark days Lowering the smallest age to eight, and there being no maximum age, to show that no matter who you are and what your age is, the Capitol will always rule. That there would be no food or water supplied at the Cornucopia (This one is kind of random and would need extra planning beforehand) All of the tributes would face all of their fears in the arena, and everyone would be targeted by Capitol-made weapons trying to kill them The arena would change into a different arena every 24 hours.

6:13 I remember Katniss saying that there was a lot of victor's children who got reaped despite most victors being well off enough that they'd only have one entry. It was basically statistically unlikely

To show the mercy and power of the capital the night of the interviews the capital will vote on one tribute to 'save' from the games. The tribute who doesn't have to go in becomes another mentor and is automatically given the life of a victor, but the other 23 tributes go into the harshest arena they've designed yet

I agree with Billy Verlaek, it seems that the twist is always on how the reaping is done (though we've only seen two examples, so that might not always hold true). One that I think would be interesting would be reaping one gender and having them select their counterpart. So they reap all the girls like normal and they have to pick a boy to go with them. This could represent how at the end the rebels sold each other out. Another could be that the reaping pool is made up of those with the most entries (so in poorer districts, it'd be 18 year olds who applied for tesserae every year). This could represent how much the districts rely on the capital and how the capital does not need those who leech.

The Third Quarter Quell would not bring the victors back to the area, as Katniss thinks, it would be a very good solution to all current problems. Following the last two rules, I believe the original rule would be that only male tributes were reaping. If that had followed, Katniss and Peeta's attention could have been away, and the revolution would not have happened, and Panem would have fallen asleep for another 25 years. In the centenary, I believe it would be very possible that the creators had written that the living victors of the last 99 Hunger Games would return to the arena.

I have a theory:"as a reminder. That the government in each district helped the citizens to start the war, in this third quarter quell, the male and female tribute are to be reaped from the family of the leader of each district (or someone close to)

Maybe there could be one where they put family members against each other to symbolize the civil war between the Capitol and the districts, the Capitol explain it as if they were family with the districts.

They could have had the children go in as usual but on of their parents has to go in with them to show that the adults couldn't save the children from the war

My ideas: 1) Remove cornucopia and give each tribute a backpack of which holds the same items, because soldiers got the same resources. 2) The districts would be reaped normally, but they would be split into teams (like in the rebellion), and fight until there is only members of the surviving team left. 3) Every kid only has their name put in once, because in the war the chances of you dying are equal to your neighbor if your a rebel. 4) Kids and relatives of high ranking people in power in the districts are reaped, to show that even if you come from a family of power, the Capitol will always win. 5) Capitol citizens will vote on what district will provide all 24 tributes, to symbolize that the capitol soldiers had to choose where to attack, and also that family turned on family on the war.

My thoughts was the third quell. “Not only must tributes fight one another but the arena itself”. That would explain the new threat every on going hour.

It would be interesting if they put children between the ages of 6 and 12 to symbolise that the young are weak and are always left to die. They could of also done a specific age category like they only put 16 year olds in the arena to make it more interesting instead of having the older tributes picking off the younger ones

I really like the idea that the 3rd Quarter Quell would have chosen adults. Like imagine Katniss's mother or Gale(who was 19) was reaped and Katniss had to mentor them.

It is amazing how you still manage to reply to nearly every single comment. You channel deserves a lot more attention.

i have some ideas for quarter quells; - 24 tributes of any age from one district, signifying how people can turn on their own people. - 24 twelve year old tributes, signifying how children suffer from their parents or elders mistakes.

An idea could be when a child is reaped they have to choose a family member to go into the arena. No volunteering allowed. This would be to show that the adults are powerless and it is their fault they had to die. Also telling the child that after the parent/family members if they are starving it is not the capitol's fault but their own ancestor's fault.

I like the idea of reaping from people who have been volunteered for, though I think they would keep that one for when there are enough people that they can have all 24 tributes like this, rather than having to hold a "normal" reaping when no-one has been volunteered for (or they're all dead) if that makes sense

It would have broken katniss more if prim went in rather than her on those games

Maybe it could be that all tributes from all districts had to stay together to remind them that they teamed up before in the dark days against the capitol and many of them died, even though they were supposed to be a team. The tributes would have to kill in the night and things such as that and if they left the group would be immediately killed

The games have the parents of victors get reaped for the capitol to show the children with out parents during the war.

I wonder what the hundredth Hunger Games would have been.

Don’t judge my idea Siblings will be reaped why welll to show us that no matter how thick the blood and relationship the districts had with the capitol they still turned on family

Reaping concept: “ as a reminder to the rebels that chose the demise of their people and future generations, the tributes will be reaped from the pool of the children of existing, and deceased victors. The tributes age to be reaped will range from 5 to 100” Arena concept: a battlefield. Like one that would have been used in the war between the rebels and the capital. A bit of symbolism that the districts will always be stuck fighting a battle they have already lost.

I have a video idea: what if all tributes teamed up and didn't kill each other

Maybe that the districts where sorted from the most loyal to the most rebellious and from that the most loyal district has more chance (the gamemarkers will help them) then the most rebellious district witch get a lower change of winning to show that loyalty gives you pleasure

"To remind the districts that war will only destroy you, every elligable child must break their own (insert body part here)."

What if instead of reaping from 2 bowls for the male and female tributes, both were reaped from one bowl leaving the possibility of having 2 men or 2 women from a district.

Well, in hindsight of the first quater quell, they might reap one tribute, either male or female, and this person has to choose someone from the opposite gender to come with them. This would show the rebels didn't act as a team, they made themselves go down and pulled everyone else down as well, without hesitation. Also, it'd be interesting to see whom the tributes bring with them, their friends or their enemys.

The games were a doomed spectacle form the start. In the deleted scene where Plutarch changed the games...that always made me wonder...if all those were quarter quell games and they happen every 25 years...the capitol government was planning for hundreds of years of games...it makes no sense. I just want to see why the capitol acted so harshly toward their own people.

My Idea: The 24 that will compete in the games would lose their families instantly due to them all being executed, to remind the districts that as the Rebels had nothing to lose anymore, they do. Arena Concept: All 24 tributes will surround the arena by a mile radius away from each other. The center of the arena is the cornucopia. However, between the cornucopia & the tributes is an active war involving Capitol designed soldiers (mutts). The tributes must get through the entire war in order to reach their desire of a weapon. This is a reminder of the harsh war the land suffered. Those who choose to stay out of the raging war will be killed instantly by explosives. I know what your thinking, if they go into the war they all will die instantly. Well, since this is the 3rd Quarter Quell, let's make things interesting. The tributes will consume an antidote before the games, guaranteed that they have 3 chances of life to spare. 3 symbolizing the 3rd Quarter Quell. But the tributes have nothing to lose now? Not on my watch. The victor will bath in riches & will grant the lives of their family back at the hands of the masterful science of the Capitol. - Yeah I went in. 😂

What if the twist was they got no training just sent right into the games because some might see it as people got no training and were sent into war

i always imagined something like the reaping of 24 tributes by mixing all the possible tributes from all districts into one giant pool. no volunteers allowed. this really punishes those who have the most names in the pool and more than two tributes can be from the same district

I have a couple of ideas. 1. Only parents can be reaped 2. Only 12 year olds 3. Single gender games 4. No weapons, you have to make your own 5. Only 18 year olds 6. Maybe you can only be reaped if you are over 50? I'm such a sadistic prat

This is such an interesting topic, I've never thought about this before! This is one of my favourite videos by you now :)

When I read the books I thought that since on the 2nd Quarter Quell tributes were doubled in the 75th Games or future quarter quells the tributes would be tripled (6 tributes from each district 3 male, 3 female, 72 total) or maybe even quadrupled (8 tributes 4 male 4 female, 96 total) or multipled even bigger tripiling or quadrupling the tributes could show that even with the rebels strength in numbers the capitol could still win with their power

i think it would be a great idea to have a games were their werent any wepons and they would have to beat eachother to death this woiuld have been entertaining to the capitol

Omg I am so happy that there's a new video. Ive been waiting for it, love your channel AND your lipstick colours

First of all, I love your channel! And secondly, I've always felt that Snow showed how little he knew Katniss by making this choice. If he wanted to torture and ultimately kill her, he should have made the 3rd Quarter Quell reaping to be among those of age who are related to a victor. In other words, you wanted to save Prim, well now she has to go in. Granted, this clearly isn't what Collins ever had in mind, as there were characters like Haymitch and Joannah who had no one to reap, but I do think it would have made for a great story.

Ooh, I really liked the reaping from the volunteered for, but I had another idea: no weapons in the cornucopia, forcing the children to literaly kill each other by hand. They could say that it was to represent the 'savageness of the rebels and the defenseless caption citizens that were killed'

To remind people supplies weren’t always there in the war, there is no cornucopia instead just a blank space and the supplies are scattered around the arena possibly with some challenge/trap to get to them like spikes under ground etc

During the scene when the district 12 victors react to the quarter quell announcement, haymitch angerily throws his beer at the hologram projection television thing. To some, it may look like he’s just mad that he might have to go back in the arena and upset over Katniss and Peeta going in as well. However, we learn that Haymitch was apart of the “mockingjay” plan that (i believe Plutarch Heavensbee orchestrated). So my question is: why would Haymitch be upset over the announcement if he knew that it was going to happen? Like I would be glad that the plan was finally starting.

I have an idea it could've been there was no cornucopia this event would symbolize that the soldiars in the war never had any supplise laid out infront of them and they had to eith make their wepons or get them of someone else

I think the victors would have been forced to vote on who went in for their district

Here are some ideas (not all have reasons why) Randomly scattering the tributes around the arena Sponsors paying to put a deadly thing in their way eg: a deadly snake. This shows how people fighting had throngs thrown at the randomly even when they weren’t prepared Having to be tied to another tribute Having families go to the arena. This shows that not only the soldiers in war get effected but also their families The arena being a maze. This can be a reference to trenches in wars and how sometimes the soldiers have no clue where they are and what’s around the corner

I thought of this one to specifically to get at Katniss for the 3rd quarter quell is to reap the tributes from direct family members of the existing victors. So for her it would be Gales brother Rory (her “cousin”) and Prim that would be select because I think the others are too old, young, or dead. So she would have to be present to and watch them struggle and potentially die and crush her before she could officially assume the role of the Mockingjay.

The children of the mayors or the mayors themselves to show the influence of leadership

An interesting idea would be if every time a tribute dies, the arena gets smaller symbolising how no matter what, the capitol will always overwhelm any rebellion.

i just reread the hunger games series about a week ago! this is perfect timing! i love all your theories for what it could’ve been

Tributes from the same district both have collars on that would kill the other if one dies (or kill both if they get out of range, it would beep to let you know somethings wrong, AKA you about to die). These would be various ways for each person, examples are spikes, poison, choking, etc. Harsh but it’s the capital....

I like the idea of two Hunger Games taking place at the same time in two different arenas.

I always thought they would have all the tributes come from one district as a reminder of the war causing the ‘destruction’ of district 13

I think one of the quarter quells (maybe 100th) would be a spectacular tournament. The Hunger Games themselves would be attended by a female and male tribute from each district that survived their own District Hunger Games. For example 4 male tributes from one district would battler each other to the death in the semi-finals, with the survivor going up against the rest of the survivors in the Hunger Games finale. So instead of 24 tributes to start with, there would be 96 tributes (12 districts x 8 tributes) in the semi-finals and then the winners from each mini games made up the 24 tributes in the finale. The theme behind this would be that even though the rebels might have won a battle, they still had to face the ongoing war.

Idea: An adult parent is selected in the reaping. They then have to chose one of their children to go into the games

I’m late but I had some ideas: Sponsors only to the weakest. Every evening / night the game makers calculate who’s the weakest and least likely to win the game right now (has no weapons or food and is physically weaker) and give them supplies and needed medication. This will create interesting dynamics Only alliances allowed to enter cornucopia. But once they get the things they have to sacrifice one of them / or one randomly designed dies. Reminds that even the greatest alliances are broken by the capitol Sponsors, but also negative ones. If you’re disliked the capital might send you poisoned food or explosives. Put emphasis on the fact that the opinion of the rich decides everything Half of the tributs are 12 year olds and the other half adults Reaped children must choose one member of their family to be tribute No food or water in the arena. Cannibalism only Tributs must mutilate themselves if they want something from the cornucopia. Like one eyeball = one knife

“As a reminder that the soldiers of the war volunteered to sacrifice their lives for nothing, the tributes for each district must volunteer”

Quarter quell idea: the pool of possible tributes involves everyone in every district. Adults, kids, no protections, no volunteers.

Maybe since a war can last through different seasons the arena could change seasons every couple of days

My idea: in the propaganda film before every reaping, it was told that “brother turned on brother until nothing remain” during the dark days.... so I believe that the tributes were still going to be children between 12-18 as long has they are Brother and sister.

I thought of a “social distance” Quarter Quell. The only weapons would be long-distance weapons (guns, spears, bows and arrows, etc) to social distance from other tributes. Also known as the “6-feet-apart” games.

"As a reminder that the Rebellion traumatized just as many people as it involved, the tributes will consist of those with documented histories of abuse and trauma."

The ripping of Victor s relatives is common. It is mentioned in the books that the son and daugthers of the victors often are ripped. And the victors from district 1 durinf the end quarter quell were brother and sister. I like your ideas And I Don't think any of the quarter que los were planned on advance

Tributes get no training at all. They get reaped and sent straight into the arena.

If the capitol won the second rebellion, the 4th quarter quell could be “to remember the two rebellions fought against the capitol, two hunger games tournaments shall commence at the same time”

Makes sense that the original plan for the quarter quell is to reap anyone above the age of 18. Would have had the same message of "Even the strongest can't stand against the capitol."

I think the theory of picking adults would be really interesting. Since we could’ve seen more people like mags in the games, and it is cruel enough that the capitol would do it.

I think it would be possible to take both the bowls and mix males and females together, so they could have same sexes or opposite ones, to represent that war doesn’t watch who it takes

I had a few ideas- Only volunteers are accepted into the games (to symbolise the rebellion was of the rebels free will) The district number shows how many tributes will be reaped (1 tribute from 1, 2 from 2 etc) with the even numbers spitting it equally between genders while the odd numbers send an extra male. No volunteering, only reaping. One tribute will be released into the arena at a time every five minutes, starting with the female tribute of 12 and working through the districts 1 by 1, female then male. All the male and female names in one bowl, and three tributes reaped.

I love your hunger games videos and can't wait for more Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes videos! I was thinking that maybe for the 3rd quarter quell the reaping for tributes would be normal except the mentors would also be reaped from the districts (instead of existing Victors). It would be quite interesting and they would probably have interviews with the mentors. If their tribute died then the mentor would to. Also you could have it where the tributes are all members of one family (one district is chosen at random). Ages wouldn't matter.
