Why you'll win the Hungry Games: Im a lurker so no one will see me coming.
How you and your fellow tribute are going to work together to win: me and Theglaven are loving Death wizards.

Surge strikes from the shadows. The spectre of District 0.999.... is never seen, but always right behind you.

I would like it to be known that neither I nor Status_Surge are secret agents having been inserted into this game to maintain the status quo. District 0.999... is a real district, whatever those guys in District 1 say, and the only reason you haven't heard of it is because you just suck.

A field of electrified cables? Simplicity itself. If the ground is no viable option, then the air will provide.

Just a little bit of 'rope' that I'll fashion from surrounding plant matter, and a flexible branch or small tree I can bend to the earth, and ...

A fundamental truth about Yeti is that they are a lot like bears, in that you don't have to be able to outrun one, you only need to be able to outrun your comrades.

Another truth about Yeti is that they are a lot like Klingons, all about being the biggest, baddest dude around, and can't help responding to a challenge.

When the Yeti appears, I take note of our surroundings. Whole lotta snow piled up on that cliff-face above us, and some massive sheets of ice jutting out and down like a bunch of gag British teeth. Before the creature starts to charge and all hope is lost, I cup my hands around my mouth and bellow as loud as I can, a challenging roar that echoes in the chasms and caves and bounces between peaks.

Oh, the Yeti doesn't like that at all. Beating its chest to show me how tough and manly it is, it bellows back with its mighty lungs, a cresting, cacophanous cry that dwarfs my own. Not quite enough though. I appear undaunted, and roar back my own challenge, meeting the threat of the lumbering brute.

Even from a distance I can see the chest of the Yeti expand as it sucks in the frigid air around us. Determined to cow me, it screams back its defiance, and the noise is a tsunami of sound, crashing violently into the rocks and snow and ice around us. That's done it. The mountain itself returns the roar this time, as those piled up sheets of snow and ice begin to cascade down the peaks in a mighty avalanche, heading straight for us.

Using the skills I've honed on the black sand beaches of District 0.999...'s Tidal Death Pools, I launch myself into the air towards the oncoming wave of snow. With a stylish mid-air flip, I land firmly upon the leading sheet of ice, and ride it to the crest of the frozen wave. Nonchalantly, I surf my way down the mountain at the rumbling speeds of nature's fury, a pace the Yeti cannot hope to match.

But what of my companion? Can he surf too? More importantly, is he still tempting enough to distract the Yeti from me? What if my challenge was too effective? As I pass my compatriot Surge, I throw him the big haunch of raw and bloody meat that I keep on me for unspecified reasons. "Here", I offer, "You can distract the Yeti with this!" Maybe that's true. It might also serve to help make him seem even tastier to the oncoming beast. Either way is a win.

The Hungry Games are complicated and unforgiving. :(

Maybe the tributes could be allowed to vote, for situations not involving them of course. Although I think there's a number of deceased tributes who haven't returned either, so who knows.

Good point, please let me know how to better interpret the votes (this is complicated)

Could you explain how you determine if a group hasn't gotten 'enough' votes? I think you say that they need to have 'more than they'd otherwise have'? What does that mean?

I don't believe this. The Hungry Games are dead. Society has revolutionized while we've been stuck in this dome, and we've been abandoned, a relic of a dead and gloriousbarbarous time.

*A strange and dark swirling mass coagulates into a familiar cowled shape among the sponsors and Hungry Games elites*

I can't express how tactless some of my fellocoughcough those death wizards are. Cthulu, how showy, how crass, how plebeian.

Too late, starved to death, nobody fed the games.
