I'm really curious if me and @swirlingflight in 4 were for a reason (that's lost on me because I don't Hunger Games much), or if we were just shoved there
yup - I wanted to put @seebs with tech, and @jacktrash with textiles, but I couldn't split them up, that would be too sad. :( @oph - I don't remember any particular reason, no.
oh lordy lou okay, lemme see what I remember District 1 (luxury): @rigorist and @pixels. Went with a pair of bad-ass lawyers. Lawyers probably lived in luxury-land? I dunno, they don't get mentioned in the series I don't think. District 2 (masonry): @TheMockingCrows and @tinyhydra. I paired you guys because you strike me as super determined despite whatever issues you deal with, and I went with district 2 because ... rocks are solid? District 3 (technology): @jacktrash and @seebs. Duh on the pairing. Technology because Seebs - though it was a tossup with District 8 for textiles and Jesse. District 4 (fishing): @oph and @swirlingflight. You guys strike me as ... round and swirly and water-like, I guess. It fit? District 5 (electricity): @Aondeug and @Lazarae. I paired you two up because you are both of a witchy bent, and I went with electricity because any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. District 6 (transportation): @Vast Derp and @Snitchanon. I paired you two together because everyone knows you're the same person, and I went with transportation because it reminded me of VD's love of Minecraft villages and protecting them and also building railways and such. District 7 (forestry): @Wiwaxia and @wixbloom. I paired you guys because of the running joke that you are constantly mistaken for one another based on your names, and I put you in forestry because you seem like friendly people who like trees. District 8 (textiles): @littlemissCodeless and @EulersBidentity. I paired you guys because you struck me as a team that would work well together, and I put you in textiles because you're both stylish. District 9 (grain): @Imoyram and @Kaylotta. I paired us 'cause we're sisters and I stuck us in District 9 because Manitoba has shittons of grain. District 10 (livestock): @Acey and @Void. I put you together and in District 10 because I am pretty sure y'all love animals. I know Void does, that's for sure. District 11 (agriculture): @IvyLB and @whimsicalobservant. I paired you guys because you're moirails, and I put you in District 11 because ... I dunno, German food is tasty? I was running out of ideas at this point :P District 12 (coal mining): @TwoBrokenMirrors and @unknownanonymous. I put you two together because you guys have similar energetic personalities and I thought you'd make a good team... and I put you in District 12 because I'd literally run out of places to put you. >_> I'm currently sitting at 17 tributes for the next Games - 9 first-timers, 5 who were killed on Day One so they get another chance, and 3 repeaters. I need 7 more :D
I do love animals! I'm especially fond of rats. :D (Not gonna lie, though, I just thought you put me and @Void together because of our icons...)
Well, if we're volunteering other people then I volunteer @LadyNighteyes, as we knew each other of old came from the same bulletin board
I volunteer @albedo. xD (you can put me in again if you have a random free space but I suspect I would make up for my psychopathic rampage last time by going out in some spectacularly stupid way very early on. xP)
