Now, imagine that all 24 tributes have seen these Hunger Game theory vids. They've seen the guide. They have a near perfect strategy. They know what to do to make their odds for survival higher. MatPat showed them. The Games are starting. The countdown is over. Everyone's released. Everybody runs off into the forest simultaneously because collecting weapons is too risky. Everybody looks around. "What the fuck?"

Knives are cool and all but I’d rather tie it to the end of a stick. Spears and polearms have been hunting tools and battlefield weapons since before the Bronze Age, and they’re also relatively easy to learn compared to other weapons. If you have a time crunch and have to become proficient in a weapon in a very little amount of time, my bet is spear. they also have a range advantage too so everyone with their tiny little knives aren’t gonna be able to reach you before you reach them

Age does matter. A 12 or 13 year old isn’t going to have the strength or the size to compete with full-grown teenagers, generally. And they will have significantly less training with weapons or with general knowledge of plants or survival. Not to mention the fact that such young tributes are going to find it almost impossible to get any sponsors or allies in the arena because they have such a small chance of winning. Most other tributes and sponsors will consider them to be death fodder before they even have the chance to step foot in the arena. That’s not even mentioning the theoretical young districts from places like District 11 or 12, both places where prospective tributes aren’t really taught to hunt or fight and usually don’t even know much about vegetation either. They’re basically dead on-arrival unless they can hide the entire time, get lucky and use something like poison or traps to stay alive, and avoid being killed by hazards from the Capitol. Even at that, you’d still have to fight the last tribute to the death, who would likely be much bigger than you and much more experienced with weapons. Your chances of winning are still abysmal, because they’ll be even more on their guard and you’re their only target left.

You can almost never lose with this strategy: a little while before the game starts you are on platforms that if you step off too early you go boom boom so you can wear alot of excess clothes to take off ball up and throw at them, making the quickest hunger games ever and say "thats all folks"

That’ll stall you from getting off your platform though. And everyone who does jump off will immediately be gunning for you for playing such a dirty trick. You won’t be able to get away unless you’re faster than all of them. Also, you wouldn’t have enough clothes to do this to all of your rival tributes.

Honestly to me the biggest challenge of the hunger games is the psychological aspects. Sure you might be incredibly athletic, strategic, or even just plain lucky, but when it comes down to it chances are you’re gonna have to get your hands dirty at least once during these competitions, and didn’t complete honesty I don’t know if I’d be able to do that.

Lilliath No, some berries are VERY poisonous. Berries are basically plant fetuses - hence why they contain seeds. Not all plants find the idea of being eaten appealing (though some like it a LOT, case in point the tomato), while some plants like the idea of killing animals for nutrients (case in point, the Venus Fly Trap). Poisonous berries have the advantage of killing the thing that eats them - either for defense, or to create free compost for the seeds to grow in. And the worst part? There are not a lot of visual indicators for whether or not a berry is poisonous, hence why some survival experts recommend avoiding wild berries.

@IceGavel

8 жыл бұрын

Lilliath Because there are *few* signs, not *no* signs. IF you know what to look for, you can eat wild berries. But a layperson isn't likely to know such. It's good survival sense to know which are poisonous and which aren't.

@Abyssionknight

8 жыл бұрын

I don't buy the suicide theory. Other than bulking up on food before the games, Foxface is shown to have knowledge of the plants to eat, avoiding the cornucopia, and focused on avoiding fightings and focusing instead on surviving, scavenging, and sabotage. She made it to fourth place. It makes no sense to commit suicide once you've statistically got a 25% chance to win. Her survival skills may have been lacking, leaving her weakened and starving, but at that point there's no reason to quit. Worst case scenario you keep poison berries on your person, so if you find yourself in a situation where a brutal death is likely, you can instead give yourself a less violent death. I assume she simply was hungry and desperate and assumed they wouldn't be stupid enough to collect poisonous berries.

@Lilliathi

Coming back to this years later, and in these 2 episodes, MatPat misses something extremely important. The story that you want to build around yourself is EXTREMELY different depending on where you're from. The poorer districts' tributes would BENEFIT from volunteering as it's unheard of before the 74th games and it makes everyone sympathise with Katniss, whereas in the richer districts it's EXPECTED for people to do so, so if you're form a career district, you just wanna go out there to make sure everyone knows your strength from the get-go, so you either make yourself as intimidating as possible to look most likely to be the betting favourite, or make people send your stuff through self-presentation to tell a narrative, if you're form a lower district

I swore i wouldn’t watch a film/game/food/style theory video until my emotions settled down, and i didn’t wana cry to the realisation that matpat is leaving us, BUT IM TOO OBSESSED WITH THE HUNGER GAMES TO NOT SEE THIS

It wouldn’t be good in general tho, like I get your point but there’s a reason why districts 1, 2 and 4 win the most almost every year, especially districts 2 and why district 12 only had 2 victors before katniss and Peeta in 74 years. It sounds like a good idea to say for the hunger aspect, but when you look at the statics of the winners, unless you play it really smart or are lucky with getting rid of the careers food they’d be way ahead of you

Also, it took 64 years for a 14 year old (Finnick) to win the games which is still is a full 2 years ahead of the earliest age you can be reaped at 12 shows you age is absolutely important as well as what district you're from

Yeah his worst two videos as you can't use statistics for the Hunger Games; the writer couldn't be arsed to write the outcome for all 75 games. And as the 75th game only had victors that means out of the 30 know Victor's there's obviously going to be a disapropiate amount of non career Victor's. So to create startegys based on statistics when they obviously don't paint the full picture is idiotic.

The hunger games is my fave book and movie series and I know ALL of the lore. So not a whole lot of this was a surprise, but still it’s outstanding you got so much info into one video!

The best weapon you can learn is the spear. Your odds of getting on are 2 in 25 because of the trident, and if you don’t get one it’s probably the easiest weapon to make sense it’s just a pokey stick. Besides the spear is the best weapon you can get in the cornucopia, the only weapon that might be bettered the bow

I actually saw this super genius idea (I didn’t come up with it, just sharing) but if you took the poisonous berries from the first book, and put them in empty parachutes from sponsors and drop them near tributes, they will think they’re sponsors sent them food and die. Another option would be to “accidentally” drop the berries when running from someone, the tribute will think it’s real food and eat them

The second point is wrong. It does matter where you're from. • The better your support team (stylist, mentor etc.), the better your chances of actually having decent sponsors. • The better you look, the higher the chance of attracting those sponsors. • The richer your district, the higher chance your gifts will be valuable. • The richer your district, the better you're fed and the healthier you are. etc. Yes, Mags was old in the 75th Hunger Games, thus she was an old victor and tribute. But that was only because of the quarter quell and guess what? When she actually won, she was a teenager like everyone else.

No, you have to be a normal weight person with enough strength to climb, who happens to put on some calories a few days before hand. If someone can tell you've put on weight than you have fucked up. That said, in a survival situation you want wiry strength from lean muscle mass (I.E. no bulk). If you've ever noticed, people that do a lot of strength everyday because of their job are rarely bulked up. This is because while strength is important so is speed and endurance. Both of which take a hit when you bulk up. If being bulked actually helped you survive in life then natural selection would have taken place and most people would have a lot of strength. In actuality, being nimble and brimming with stamina are better.
