Head Gamemaker Padovan

Treason.

Sedition.

Rebellion.

Those are what plague this nation – what ruin this nation.

It all unraveled in the recent years. It all came from the 75th Hunger Games – the Third Quarter Quell, where two Victors from each District were picked out of the Reaping bowl. This is what led to the birth of the Rebellion. When Katniss Everdeen of District Twelve won those Games, she began to speak out against the Capitol and protest.

She gained a following. She had a cause.

People believed her. They fell for her manipulative ways.

Riots in the Districts then began. Workers stopped working and had sit-ins in their factories and fields. At first, we tried to compromise with them, to appease them. Nothing worked, however, and they persisted.

So, we took action. After some fighting between the Capitol forces and rebels, the fighting subsided. It was until the 99th Hunger Games that things began to seem peaceful once again. It was during the 99th Hunger Games that everything began to… Fall apart, if you will.

The rebels thought they finally had a movement. They began to officially call themselves a rebellion.

This is no rebellion, however. It's a folly.

I pity them for their cause.

For their so-called cause against a dictatorship. Against an oppressive regime. Against a government that denies them their right.

But, do you how I see it? They are lashing back against a nation that feeds them, that protects them, and that gives them stability and peace in their life.

With this rebellion nonsense, we cannot provide with them that anymore. If they do not comply with us, we cannot provide any of those resources anymore. They'll come around, then. They'll see everything they will have to live without if they are going to pursue this rebellion.

This rebellion… This absurd movement. They aren't accomplishing anything and still won't in the future.

What they're doing is simply preventing this nation from prospering. Distracting us from our priorities, from our people. They are an inconvenience and are doing more harm than good. Do they even realize what they're doing?

These bombings, these assassinations… Are they worth it? Are they accomplishing anything?

Was the bombings Districts of One, Two, Four necessary? Was the direct assassination and manslaughter of Victors a part of their plan all along? Did the lives of Nashira Vire, Cavalier Pavillion, Triton Madeira, Clara Peronne, Narissa Vire, Gloss, Dustin Cranford, Marius Liard, and Kendra Stallone really impact their lives?

Must they have killed those Victors? What did it prove?

It just proved that the rebels are savage. That they will cross any boundary. They'll even kill innocent Victors.

And, now, they need to reimburse, I suppose. They kill our Victors, we take their people then, too.

While these bombings and assassinated occurred, we raided a rebel base and located one of the rebel leaders – Lyme from District Two. She was also a Victor. We killed her on the spot, as well as the rest of her squadron. We killed them all.

We showed the strength Capitol possesses and what happens when you kill our own.

After this happened, Victors decided to take arms. We had volunteers from District One, Two, and Four to join the fight against the rebels: Vanora Revery, Cashmere, Affinity Pelletier, and Thane Pontair of District One; Brutus, Breccia Covelt, Phadra Berrit, Arick Caine, and Ryker Caine of District Two; Coleen Morisette, Tigris Narmada, and Evadne Caldera of District Four.

These are the people I respect. The people who volunteer to fight for and protect the nation that made them the person they are today. The rebels could learn a thing or two from them.

It's a shame – how deluded they are, that is. They are uneducated and are unaware of everything the Capitol does for them. We provide them with resources and protect them with security. If they looked at the grander scheme of things, they would see this.

We aren't the bad guys here.

They are.

And that's what I want to prove. We are only here to help our people and to make sure Panem prospers. I just want them to realize this, and perhaps, I am trying to teach them a lesson.

I'm not vengeful. I'm not vindictive. I just want them to learn.

I am just doing my duty. My duty to the Capitol, to Panem.

As Head Gamemaker, I have one utility I can implement this through – The Hunger Games. Through the Hunger Games this year, I will revel and expose the rebels of our Districts. They will be Reaped. They will go into that arena, and once they are in it, they will finally realize how great the Capitol is.

They will regret their actions. I will see to that.

Their shenanigans have been going on for too long. It's time for someone to step in and take action against these rebels. Although there is a pursuing fight between Capitol and rebel forces, it's time to take it one step further. They have caused too much damage both to the Capitol and to our reputation. It's time that we make them suffer the consequences.

They'll be the ones to pay the price.

If you disrespect the Capitol, you disrespect me.

Author's Note:

(In this Author Note, I'll attempt to explain things more clearly and to make this process for us both easier. If you have any more questions regarding this, don't be afraid to PM me!)

Well, as you can see, this is a Quarter Quell – The 100th Hunger Games.

Back story (Not all of it, though. Mentors and tributes will cover that): There was no rebellion during the 75th Hunger Games. The Games went on, Katniss won back-to-back Games, but once she won, things started to change. The rebellion didn't really culminate until later on, around the 99th Hunger Games per se, when another District Twelve female won.

Rebellious acts and threats began during the 99th Hunger Games. As you can see, patriotic mentors were assassinated and the Career Districts were targeted by rebels. This will be shown more later on, so I won't explain that too much. After all of this happened, the Capitol's Gamemakers came up with the twist for this Quarter Quell.

Now, time to explain the twist: Any tribute that has any involvement in the rebellion will be up in that bowl. There are volunteers and anyone's names in the bowls are of ages 12-18. The tributes do not have to be involved in the rebellion directly; it could be a family member and relative. Or, they could directly be involved in the rebellion (Protests, participated in bombings, participated in assassinations, sent threats to the District officials and the Capitol, etc.)

So, basically, anyone who is involved in or associated with the rebellion is up for grabs this time.

Does that sort of explain it? I hope so. But, once again, if you have any questions, just please PM me and I'll try to do my best to explain it further. That's it for now, though.

Send in those tributes!

(Regarding a deadline… I never really have one. Just keep sending them in and whenever I feel that I have enough tributes I will close submissions. Figure, that'll be in about a week or two.)
