My team is awesome! We'll see how long it lasts in the actual event. ^_^;

No time for interviews right now, but FYI, Mirrad is a he. {= )

~Neshomeh

Navare: "This is disappointing. I guess I should train more for the next time."
Des: "No news is good news."
Amris: "Booooring."
The Librarian: *something grumbled under breath; the microphone didn't catch anything*

Apollo: "First of all to clarify, I didn't really know Gerry had killed Rayner when I killed her, so no, no real revenge was in play there, in fact I hadn't meant to kill her at all, the branch I was using as a weapon was a tad heavier than I thought it was, that's all. Still glad to have got through the qualifiers and glad to see Kelly on my team too."

"Any plans? No, not really. Ideally I'd grab a bow and try and camp a spot I can defend, but after those roving squirrels from last season I'm not sure that's a good idea."

Kelly: "Woo, I got through, and I even got a ranged weapon, not that I needed it, by I got one. I was kinda surprised to actually ally up with different people, and it'd be nice to ally up with them again in the real thing, although it'd also be nice to see Apollo as well, we didn't see each other besides at the start 'cos we ran different ways completely."

"Plans? Not really, hope to get a ranged weapon, one of the bonuses to being a daughter of Apollo you see, hope I don't have to heal anyone and if I'm really desperate I can always try and curse them to speak only in rhyming couplets, it doesn't have much use killing Sue's but I remember that one time our cabin used it on the Ares cabin..."

Let's begin this.

Richard: Alright. First of all, I certainly didn't sign any papers or anything which could have led to that. My partner was pretty clear about the consequences after the last time. I hope the person who pulled this off can hide really well for their own good.

As for the qualifs... I cannot believe I ended up killing Captain Dandy! That's one of the few Flowers I think who deserves respect here! And this hallucinogen... Are they stealing idea from Capitol engineers, or what?

Marina: I makde sure Richard didn't sign anything while he was conscious, and none of us drinks enough alcohol to think it could have been a 'good idea'. Well, I guess I'll profit of the impromptu training session for now. Then I'll go to meet the staff who handled the inscriptions, and see if our little prankster let any lead behind...

Corolla: Awww, I'm out already. I hope Sergio, Nikki and Keiko will do their best though! By the way, I really have to start working on a way to bring that girl home though. I can't believe she messed up a portal's coordinates so badly...

Oh, and Peregrin? That explosive satchel was bigger than I am. Overkill much?

Sergio: I was lucky this Ajax dude spared me, or I would've been out already. Stealth and survival, that's the way I lasted so long last time. In fact, back then I lost when I abandoned that tactic.

Corolla didn't get through, sadly, but Nikki and that Keiko girl did. Corolla's fond of her for some reason.

And of all people, we got assigned Makes-Things as a teammate. Fun.

Well, I hope I can live up with my Top 8 finish of last time.

Nikki: I think I've been playing better this time - though I admit doing worse would be pretty hard.

It's a shame for Corolla, she was really eager to play in this again.

That Keiko girl is pretty nice - though she feels oddly familiar. I'm pretty sure I've heard her callig Corolla "Auntie" - I wonder why is that?

Keiko: Well, if you're wondering what a girl from the future is doing playing here, I'll answer with two things: a botched portal and Auntie Corolla.

I can't believe I'm playing with my parents here - and also that Auntie took all of ten seconds to guess who I really am.

So far, I'm doing pretty good - as solg as I can stay near water to take advantage of my water magic, I should be fine.

... Auntie, you should better get on work on a way to get me home, I don't want to accidentally cause time paradoxes.

... Wait, you'll be airing this?

Also, fun fact: The girl he said he wrote that thing for actually broke up with him at some point in 2013. I don't know why, but I know what reason I would mention as a possibility if I were a truly horrible person.

Basically a single-paragraph thing from each of them about their thoughts so far. In this case, it's 'how they feel about losing' (if they lost) or 'how they plan to approach the Games' (if they're in). Later it'll be responding to what happens to them.

hS

Just have the agents answer whatever?

But then couldn't delete the post, sorry.

Okay, that was a fun read.

*clears throat*

The Aviator: "Yeesh, you sign up for one Hunger Games to make your partner happy, and suddenly if you don't want to do another people get all weird about it. I'm glad I got out early. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go find someone..."

Ix: *shrugs* "Not like I was going to make it long with my bad leg and no magic. I'll be cheering for Charlotte from the sidelines, though!"

Zeb: "I'm just trying to keep it on the down-low this time, especially since my plan of meeting up with my partner to team up are kind of shot now."

Charlotte: "Well, I'm sorry to see my partner go. So much for a possible team-up like Peeta and Katniss." *coughs* "Um, but in the platonically beneficial way, of course. I'm going to win this one for her."

Sadly, I am on the other side of the country (in a westerly direction, this time), but I hope you enjoy it - that con is epic. The steampunk was out of control the year I went, in the best possible way - and, if memory serves me, the protest Girl Genius and several other comic artists were holding had ended, since they finally stopped inviting one guest who was… I don't actually remember. A sexual harasser of some sort.

Point being, it's on the up and up from what I recall, and have fun! And if you go into the rooms off the underground food court, beware - several hours will pass while your hindbrain still thinks it's daylight. I think this happened to us at least twice.

See them here.

24 of our 72 agents are out, including a depressing number of namesakey/selfinsertish agents. Dafydd, Constance, July, and Alleb all went out, along with both Ix and the Aviator. JulyFlame lost three of her four candidates, though luckily, no-one went out entirely. (And congrats to Neshomeh, whose two agents + two NPC suggestions all made it through!)

The teams are a bit scrambled, given that only Nesh has an intact quartet. I think the only person whose agents I ended up having to split was Skarm, who's ended up paired with Matt Cipher and Desdendelle. Sorry! I tried!

So far, we're not revealing the new arena. We are revealing, though, that we have a hologram of Acacia Byrd in the Games. So you have something to live up to!

If you'd like your agents to give opening interviews - or losing ones, for the folks who're out already - go ahead and post them in a reply to this. (And please do - they make for great reading, and will help me get them in character for the narration!) I'll edit them into the document when I can. (Whether I can get them written for my own four + Kaitlyn's four + 5 NPCs is an... interesting question. I'll get back to you on that.)

Next broadcast will hopefully be tomorrow, showing the bloodbath and - if it's not too bloody - Day One as well.

See you then!

I also read your woof woof power mission. Got to say I'm surprised you lasted that long into it considering how bad it is. Then again I also see you avoided getting to the worst of the worst which is a smart move because oh boy.
The person who made it still owes me art actually for catching a pageview milestone on DA actually,but I think they've just forgotten about it.

Which page is this?

Well now, you know about them. And if you want to try a new strategy games with mods for playing during the War of the Ring, I assure you the mods are easy to install, and the Total War games accessible on Steam for a rather not costly price on Steam if you don't possess them. Nothing stops you from trying them if you really want to.

Here are the Moddb threads for both of them to see by yourself.

No, I don't, and now you've made me cry. ,-_-,

hS

I'll profit from this thread for ask you a little question: Do you have Medieval 2 Total War Kingdoms, and if yes, do you heard about its mod Third Age Total War, and its submod Divide and Conquer? I think it could interest you.

Hardric, hoping at least one of his agents pass the qualifications.

I'll probably still be up by then, so let's see how many times I reload the page around then... *readies tally marker*

(Consider Agent Tomash to have been 'persuaded', possibly with rope.)

Including all four NPCs mentioned by people, plus five NPCs of my own choosing, I now have 72 tributes listed. (Not including Alex Dives and Farilan, I'm afraid.) Tournament is go!

I'll start the two qualifying games (simultaneously!) in about seven or eight hours. If you want to join (and you can! Those five NPCs can be trimmed out, for one), get in before then, or you'll be sitting on the sidelines.

hS, super excited, can you tell?

He saw the announcement and figured he'd get some combat practice in a more realistic scenario. There's little chance he'll get anywhere near winning, since his weapons abilities amount to "can hit kind of close to whatever he was aiming for much of the time".

So, we're throwing in one avout (mathematician-monk, approximately), with bolt (some-physical-properties-adjustable fabric), sphere (similarly adjustable ball), and chord (length-adjusting rope), and very few practical skills.

Agent Tomash claimed to have plans already, but could be persuaded if there's a free slot left.

One of them is, yeah. He's an Oculator, but not a Smedry. I didn't want to copy a canon ability, wasn't sure what would make a really good Talent. Hmm... How'd they show up? Canonquake?

And yeah, I'm making my very, very slow way through the Mistborn trilogy. Oh, and I've read The Rithmatist.

I can't believe I forgot about Alcatraz vs. The Dark Talent. Kaz's cussing is hilarious. Cashews, pistachios, seagulls, fowl language of all kinds!
