Game Wide Vote!
With each mod post we've mentioned a rough estimate of remaining Arenas and we've been slowly ticking them down. Right now as we've planned it we have two Arenas left on the horizon, which will see us through until September/October or so. We're getting down to the wire, but since we've had mod changeover and some changes in the playerbase, we want to open up a vote to all of the Games' players as to see if this is the direction the game should take in the near future. If so, things will definitely start picking up pace.
Once we start into endgame, things will be heading into war. Our intention as mods is to aim for something more interesting than standard NPC'd fight threads. We hope to bring some real action and drama in, both with District 13 and the other remaining districts, in order to have a fun and engaging experience for everyone. The Capitol will also be looking to claim soldiers for their side, and this ultimately may mean friend fighting friend through the streets. We want to hear from you what you all would like to see of the war, to see if there are any suggestions we can incorporate and any direction we can approach. After all, this is your story to write, even if we're throwing the curveballs. How do you want it to end?
Two things that we want to see come from the descent into endgame include both revealing the nature of the Tribute's resuscitations from death and the chips every Tribute has within them. Looking into the chips - which are what cause the character powers to be locked, among other things - might open the chance to unlock powers later during the war, if that's what the majority wants. At this point, it is only matter of justification whether fear of the powers would win out over Capitol's and District 13's desire to use them against each other in the absence of nuclear weapons. The purpose of this poll here is to get a general feel for how the players as a body feel about learning this (potentially triggering, let's be real we're talking about death here) revival mechanic, Tribute's memories, and of powers being used within the war.
So we're taking a vote!
We ask that everyone leave their thoughts of yes or no for powers, touching on revival and memories, and sticking to 2 Arenas, or extending the game further to a maximum of 4 Arenas, taking us another year before we hit endgame. We have also given the option of leaving suggestions, though this may be kept blank.
Please fill out the following:
You have until April 16th to respond to this poll or you will be considered as having no preference.
Thank you and Happy Hunger Games!

no subject
Ideal number of full arenas left (max of 4): 2 or 3
Powers during wartime: Yes, but with a slow rollout
Addressing revival and memories: Yes
Plot suggestions? Ideal ending?: Pretty much what everyone else has said at this point. I really like the idea of characters being given the opportunity to return home after the fall of the Capitol if they so choose. Other than that, I'd love to see some chances to visit the Districts and maybe an Arena the the Mentors have to fight in (and would give an excellent chance to send Mentors to D13).
