We read a short story titled "The Lottery" today in English class...it's creepy. (Wikipedia or longer summary here.)

We read that a few weeks ago and it was the first thing I thought of when I saw the title.

Already protected, lllazar. I think I'll protect myself because 1) I won't be on tomorrow and B) All those spelling and grammar errors. I tend to attack those- perhaps they are trying to attack me?

Wow I was just five numbers off of the actual number.

This talk about the short story "The Lottery". While I was browsing the Wikipedia for The Hunger Games one of the related links was to the wiki on "The Lottery". Mabey someone that has mentioned The Hunger Games is the Assassin.

The premise for "The Reaping" in the Hunger Games is the same, actually. It's not a terribly rare idea, but perhaps something to consider.

The same though occurred to me as i thought about the recent talk of hunger games on the forum - anyone thinking Paleonaps?

No. You have to think if fmtiger would pick him. I would highly doubt that.

Let me tell you, it's not me.
I actually asked him to be Assassinator, and not only did he not pick me, he never responded.
Don't kill me over asking, amerikestrel asked him to be sassy for his round.
