Just some ideas...

So in the books, mentors played a really large role in the games. Well, I was thinking, what if the mentors advise the tributes during training and before they enter the arena (via pm)? And instead of the tributes buying the items, mentors did? I know we only have 5 mentors so far, but we could assign temporary mentors. Say a very active member or a staff member that isn't already a mentor or a tribute in the current games. Maybe we only need 1 mentor per district.

And also in the books, they do a highlight reel at the end of each games day. We could do that?

What are your thoughts? Are they good ideas?

We tried this back before we got our Games to actually work, but we needed to scrap mentors and stylists in order to get the Games running smoothly. It's unfair to the tributes if their mentor goes AWOL while they need something (like antivenom) to keep them alive, so sponsorships are best handled by the character's owner. We've been trying to avoid letting members make characters who were victors prior to the 54th Games, since it's a lot more meaningful to have a character beforehand and have them develop thorough the Games.

The highlight reel is a possibility, but it would be a lot of extra work for the Gamemakers who are generally pretty swamped as it is (Anthems themselves can take hours) so we'll probably just stick to the recap video at the end of each Games. I don't see why members couldn't post their own highlights each day if they wanted to make threads in discussion, though.
