Hi friends! This week we look at the first Quarter Quell!
The first Quarter Quell had quite the twist: the reapings wouldn't be reapings at all. Instead, the citizens of the districts would vote for which children would be their tributes. How did this work? How did the citizens of the districts react? How does one choose which child to vote for?

The first QQ always fascinated me. The thought of making that kind of choice is so intriguing. When the prequel books were announce, so many people clambered for books based around Haymitch's games and I felt like the outlier wanting the first quell represented.

If i was thinking logically and didnt care about the children or a anything at all probably 1 strong older child and 1 weaker younger child. The older child would use the younger as a sheild of sorts or a tool to win the game, and If they win the district will be richer and it would be good (ofc the younger child would probably die) but that just seems like a logical choice, so they're not wasting an extra person that would die anyways but using a waste of time for the other tributes.

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.

I would think that the tributes from Districts 1, 2, and 4 would be pre-determined. Remember, they go through training until they are 18, at which point they volunteer. I assume the volunteers are the strongest male and female student, so I figure they'd already announce within those three districts who the strongest are, so it's not really a vote. Either that, or the kids campaign to be chosen! If it were me, I'd probably choose to send in the kids that had the best chance of winning. I feel like that's the only way a lot of these people could live with themselves. At least they could tell themselves they didn't use the vote to act maliciously to give into the worst of themselves. I think you'd have to be careful that way too, though. If the 74th Hunger Games was the first Quarter Quell, then going by physicality and best chance to win, I probably would've voted for Gale. He would've had a really good chance. However, he also disses the Capitol and openly scorns them all the time, and I doubt Snow would want someone like that to win, so sending in a kid just by physicality may not be the best move if the president is going to rig things. Just my thoughts.

I think the capital would make a HUGE show out of the voting for the entire year. Sure the first vote would be a bunch of names in the bucket. But then It would kind of be like the TV competition shows we have now. You get your final 50, re-vote and get top 25. Then you get into the top 10 and do shows on each person. Then on the day of the reaping, you vote on the top 3. I think the capital would make it as hard as possible of the district residence, with the most entertainment for the capital 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 bet the winner of the first quarter quell was dead before the events of Catching Fire. Just imagine coming home to your district that voted for you, likely because they didn't like you. Then they cheer when you come home but you don't see it as sincere. You settle in the victors village but you don't have any friends in the district, you never had. Your distaste for the district grows, so does your depression. You start drinking and taking drugs, all alone. One day you take too much. For weeks no one knows you are gone since you never get any visitors. A short memorial is held in the capitol

I also wonder about what it’d be like in the career districts where it’s seen as an honor to go to the games. You’d think that they’d pick the strongest ones that usually volunteer, but I’d think there’d be some proud parents who’d try to mess things up

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.

I never thought of the point about tesserae. Maybe if you chose to take it, the amount of votes for you (if any) would be doubled? If you take it twice, it's tripled etc. so you're putting yourself more at risk, just like a standard year? Oh and regarding who I'd vote for, I wouldn't go based on physical or mental attributes, but simply the person I disliked the most at the time, which I'd base on how arrogant and/or two-faced they were around the district!

The Captiol can probably rig the Reaping whenever they want, I remember Katniss saying that the children of Victor's get reaped too often to be a coincidence. Just replace all of the slips in the bowl so they have the same name/names of whoever they're targeting. I guess you could also instruct the escort to announce a certain name no matter what the slip says, since we don't see them check the slip in the books or movies, but the less people involved the better.

Amazing video as always! 🌹 Two questions just popped in my mind though..and I'd be curious to see what you guys think : -What if boys were reaped before girls for the 74th Hunger Games and Peeta and Prim names came out? Would Katniss still volunteer for her sister when we know she recognized Peeta instantly in the canon story? - Why did Peeta volunteer to take Haymitch's place for the quarter quell? Was it because he felt obligated to keep up with the starcrossed lovers act? Was it to be with Katniss? Was it because he didn't trust Haymitch enough to let Katniss win if it came to that? A mix of all this or completely something else?

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

I'd try to figure out whom other people would decide to for - chances are that someone will put my name in, so the only chance I'd have to not get sent into the Hunger Games would be if someone else had more votes than me. Therefore I'd vote for the probably most voted for kid as well, hoping they'd have more votes than me in the end, no matter who that kid is.

I think in the corriere (if that's how you spell it) districts, they would see being voted into the games as a huge privilege and honour and it may turn into a bit of a popularity contest. They would also probably choose to send in the strongest and most skilled children, as they have been training in the academies (unless they didn't have academies 25 years into the hunger games?)

I believe that there would first be nominees of who they would vote for. And then the citizens get a choice to vote out of the couple nominees. In certain districts like 11, the nominees would probably be rebellious children since their district is very strict. In district 2, they would probably nominate the strongest children.

I wonder which would be more psychologically harmful to the citizens.

I'd like to know when the district's actually started to do this tesserae system. Bc all the bombings and the rebels still happened around the 10th games And when I think about how poor the family of Snow was, so that he had to eat this disgusting cabbage while being glad for lunch at school (eating as much as possible there), then I can't imagine the capitol could afford as much tesserae as needed for all 12 districts just 15 years later. Maybe the 11th victor was the first to get a house and a little money and his/her district also got a little money and food packages for each family like Katniss discribes them in the second book. This would have to be paid as well as renovating the capitol, getting back to luxury, preparing for renewing the games with tv shows, the new inescapable arenas, costumes, food, training etc. They also renewed the electricity system to force everyone in the districts to watch the games and they renewed the fences, so that the people weren't able to leave the districts for a while (meant to be forever but we know Katniss escaped more than 50 years later as a kid with her dad)

+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.*

That's interesting, because especially in the bigger districts, you don't know all the children and families... can you vote for someone who's name you probably never heard of, and hope you will never have to face the family? Also, I can imagine that they made the family very prominent and ever-present in the district, as a reminder for everyone who voted for their kid to die. Also, imagine winning the games and coming back to you home and to the people who decided you should participate in the games...

I would suspect (and I'm surprised that it didn't come up) that the dynamic would be different in the Career districts. Assuming that the "honor" of winning had been established, then it's perfectly conceivable that there would be grassroots election campaigns for Career tributes, since volunteering would no longer be an option. Also, another factor for the poorer districts might be sending someone out of a sense of mercy: If someone is especially poor, malnourished, sickly, or has been abused, people might vote out of sympathy, since the tributes will either enjoy good food for a few days and then die (leaving their troubles behind), or else win and be wealthy enough to escape their old problems.
