What if the tributes refused to fight?

[@StoryDiver]

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!

From there, 1 and 9 could spread it to other districts, like 4 or 10, continuing to spread it. Honestly, coming together into an agreement isn't the issue, its the pressure knowing that everybody is watching and judging them, causing people to turn on one another for the sake of their district.

A way to make the tributes fight without killing their families could be to make them have hallucinations, as your more likely to kill someone who you don’t think is a human than to kill someone who you know to be a human.

A big problem with this is that not all of the Tributes would refuse to fight. The ones from Districts 1, 2 and 4 think it an honor to participate in the Games, and there's probably the odd Tribute or two from the other Districts who think they have a chance and that their odds would be worste in defying the Capitol. If they did this before the start of the Games, when the cameras weren't on them, they'd all be secretly killed and a convenient "accident" staged. If they did this just before the bloodbath, they'd be blown up on camera and their families wiped out in the following days, for "the encouragement of others".

We'd make a hole in the side of the arena and escape into the mountains, (we've been told that the Capitol is situated in the Rockies, so I have to guess that the arenas would be close by.) Once we got out, the careers would carefully slice open each of our arms to remove or trackers ()I say the careers because they should be well educated in biology). I would then get the D11 tributes to sew up our arms, and put our trackers in the arena, escaping into the wilerdness. We would survive by relying on each others Districts speciality.

When they get in the arena, at the end of the count-down they would step down their platforms and stare into the cameras. Their leader, democratically elected, would address the gamemakers in the following way: "We will not fight. Threaten our loved ones, we got nothing to lose. No friends, no family, no future. Send us mutts or attack us in any other way, and we will commit suicide. Either way, you'll get no games this year. LONG LIVE THE REBELLION!"

2:50 you did forget they are all together just before they each do their individual assessment which could be when they came together, unless there are guards in the room.

[@StoryDiver]

There are guards in the room, the tributes are never left unattended

[@elsiehill3758]

Story Diver I think it could be possible to meet together in groups of three at a time and sort of pass it on but it would be harder to have an open dialogue and try to rouse them to stand together. Like when katniss was talking to wires and beetee (I probably spelt those wrong😂) in the training room.That probably wouldn’t look suspicious.

[@marisolruiz7507]

I would still hold up to the agreement to show that the districts will not be scared and horrified by the Capitol no longer hopefully sparking a uprising of rebellion.

[@tweedledandtwittledips]

What I’d do in the hunger games 2 ways, First way: I’d get a back pack and some type of weapon that I can defend myself with and run away out of the blood bath, I would try to get a long range weapon or a spear I can hold out to keep them from getting right beside me and try to win that way and if I see I can’t win I’d probably eat something poisoned because I refuse to be killer Second idea: I’d probably try to make a deal with the careers saying I don’t want to win just get them to protect me until I can eat something poisoned but I could do this or try and kill them off one by one because certain times it’s easy because their guard is down

[@RyokoAsakuraLastFan]

This did happened, the Game Makers flooded the Arwna and left Annie as the lone survivor

[@hp4life799]

They will probably just send some mutts and watch the tributes turn on each other in order to survive. I think that some tributes will still keep the alliance but careers will probably break it off to try and win. (Not including district 4 in the careers)

[@laramarinho4648]

i think that maybe, if their sponsors made the agreement and somehow manipulated and trained the tributes through alliances and some of the tributes knowing what is going on, like Haymitch did with Katniss, maybe not only it would work but could be the beginning of the revoluition like in catching fire

[@riverdale_bughead8888]

I would stay by my agreement but still watch my back all the time. I would wait til the others were sleeping and then rest. I would keep weapons and have a back up plan in case I have to abandon them to survive.

[@sonderly7820]

i will not fight. i would defend myself if someone attacks me, but i would stay true to the agreement. i know the consequences of this decision and it won’t end well for me but i believe if this outcome happens enough times, the capitol will eventually get bored and decide the games are not worth all the money and effort.

[@averyjones9149]

For me it would depend on what happens. Like if the Gamemakers threatend my family then yes but other wise probably not

[@StoryDiver]

That makes sense!

[@ignoreplradery357]

I think I would definitely do something like foxface, I could not deal with my family, watching me being murdered and I could never have blood on my hands.

[@TheZinminjr]

If this was going to happen me and the other tributes could just all step off our circles before the 60 are up. This would be the quickest way to insure there is no victor.

[@jael3177]

We now know how primitive the earlier Hunger Games were, but by later renditions the Game Makers were basically controlling the outcome (think of the fire they sent to force Katniss into the Career Pack). I think if everyone just didn't fight they would manipulate the game nonetheless so people still died.

[@nathan2552]

if the tributes formed a sort of super alliance and got rid of all the careers and other violence prone tributes then they could just chill in the arena

[@malena5026]

The capitol has deadly traps all over the arena so I think the capitol would use them to kill the tributes for entertainment till one they want to win is the last alive. They can control the games actively for example the wave that killed a lot of tributes in Annie Crestas games or to eliminate tributes they don’t want to win like the one that would eat the tributes he’d killed.

[@emeryival8418]

I think that because it is very unlikely for all the tributes to get in a position to agree to do this, that what would most likely happen is that this could be part of the rebellion and the leaders of the districts told them not to fight so they could be freed of the capitol. Any body else think that might happen?

[@wiltingivy]

I would make myself look weak and vulnerable, so that the other tributes would ignore me, and then basically do what Foxface does the entirety of the games, because I’m pretty smart, and I couldn’t be able to bear the guilt, so I’d aim for maybe like second, and try to die on my own terms

[@StoryDiver]

That's a good plan!

[@anobody5520]

imagine instead of hunger games it be survival so thaey all work together and stay alive for a total of 30 or 20 days and the remaining surviving children would win

[@andresmadinaveitia4458]

I would initially agree. But if the Capitol threatened my love ones I honestly wouldn t know what would I do next

[@StoryDiver]

That makes sense!

[@debbielel5898]

If you think smartly in the games making the first move would most likely put the biggest target on you for a revenge kill ... I mean first move to kill... Not the other kind

[@jpjz8339]

Something that really would mess the games up is if all the tributes walk off their pedestals before the Game starts so the game can't really go on in any way

[@florence1238]

I think they could make them fight with their trackers because they could put more adrenaline or something in that would make them fight .

[@donovandelaney3171]

It is possible to win a Hunger Game without killing someone. What if you survive the game and the monsters without killing someone? You would be loved by everyone.

[@snowflake4099]

actually no. it's all about entertainment in the capital, u would be boring for them

[@jamesokello7566]

Why didn’t(or did I wasn’t listening lol) the game makers think about threatening the tributes family then?

[@StoryDiver]

I did mention that possibility 😉

[@awsomeabacus9674]

I would step off my podium before the countdown was over. I'm tapping out.

[@cherubily]

I'd probably run off with the boy from my district and let us survive alone together. I wouldn't kill others unless they attacked me or if I felt threatened. I'm not afraid to fight, but I also don't have the mindset of a career to go on a killing joyride. I'd want to project my family, allies, and hopefully myself.

[@StoryDiver]

That makes sense!
