Talk:The Ancient Games (The 703rd Hunger Games)/@comment-24692847-20160712054822

Congratulations Vesper for surviving this long!!! You are the second youngest tribute alive, so that alone is a huge accomplishment, but that also means the competition will be stronger and tougher.

Vesper's Advice: Currently, the only remaining alliances are the Careers (with 6 members) and the Anti-Careers (with 4 members), so the last 2 tributes are loners. For the finale, the Gamemakers are clearly going to throw the Careers and Anti-Careers together in a brawl to the death, and I assume the loners will either die during the fight or maybe even fight each other. Whatever happens, though, you always need to be prepared for a fight, as tributes will be coming from anywhere and anybody may turn on you. Stay on your toes, be alert, be prepared to run away from a tribute (but never entirely leave the cornucopia clearing), and watch out for ranged attacks. Everyone has a reason to come home, so everyone will be fighting until their last breath.

Since you aren't the strongest tribute, I want you to try to avoid fighting on the front lines. Jayda and Lunar appear to be the strongest Anti-Careers, but they will easily be overpowered if you and Penny just sit back and let them fight the Careres alone. Looking at the loners, Harry might help the Careers in an all-tribute battle, whereas Britney might help the Anti-Careers. Whatever happens, you always need to keep a sickle and throwing knives on you. Since your alliance took over the cornucopia, there's undoubtedly some leftover weapons. With a sickle, you need to make sure that it's always in your hand, ready to defend yourself in melee combat. However, you can always have throwing knives to throw at the Careers when they approach the cornucopia. Throw them off guard, make them focused on dodging, and you could have Lunar attack them from behind, hidden in the trees or wherever the Careers may be coming from. That way, you could easily narrow down the Careers, as they won't have anywhere to go. However, always keep at least two knives on you that you don't throw, in case someone knocks the sickle out of your hand. That way, you'll always have a weapon and always be prepared to fight. Please, Vesper, just fight to the best of your ability.
