Question about Victors

[Arrows]

Okay so I have read the rules and hunger games rules and noticed something in particular. It says no writer is currently permitted to win the games twice. The reason I am asking about this is I am very well aware about how hard it is to win the games but let's say you do win. Then a few games later you are back in the games and you are doing really well and have a good chance at winning again. Would you be automatically killed for being a past victor or would you be allowed to win again if you do in fact win? Sorry if you get this question a lot I am just very curious about it

No, if a past victor is doing well in the games they still cannot win. They are, however allowed in a finale that is not 1v1, but they will have a severe handicap so it is impossible for them to win again.

In general Gamemakers try to make it so that if a past victor player is getting close to winning, they run into some trouble (i.e. a mutt, or a difficult mandated fight) that'll really screw with their chances. In the past, though, many victor players have been responsible enough to recognize that they're getting close to the end, and arrange themselves a death so that they won't prevent other people from winning. Currently, we don't allow suicide (that got waaaay too out of hand in past Games, which is the reason for that rule, though maybe we'll change that back soon) but there are plenty of different ways other than that.

I've had a handful of tributes since I won the 56th; two of them made it pretty far, and I had one collapse in her 1v1 fight the day before the finale and decide she just didn't have the strength to hold on anymore, and the other made it to a 4-way finale which I had her botch as well. There are an infinite number of ways for a victor player to die; winning is certainly much harder. We hope that our victor players remember how exciting it was to win and understand that it's important for more people to have that experience too, so we trust that when the time comes, they'll know, and let their tribute die. The alternative is not allowing them to play at all, which would obviously suck. Hope this answers your question!

Thank you both very much for answering my question
