      Step 1: find a way to conceal a sidearm to bring into battle. Then to not look suspicious, run away and wait until one man left and shooty shoot shoot the last guy, but make it look like he or she accidentally killed him or her self.

    Fox Face. She did everything you said, but she didn't have a strong enough story. She ran from the Cornucopia, she had awesome survival skills, she stayed solo, she stayed hidden and had great strategies like the one during the feast. But she forgot about poisonous berries and died. And in the books it's said that during the interview she revealed a mistireous personality, but that's it, she was not memorable enough.

    Quick note, one important factor that you didn't mention in either video is sleeping. Everyone has to do it at some time, and when, where, and how you sleep can seriously impact your chance of survival.
    Examples:
    Tying yourself up in a tree to sleep (like Katniss did)
    Camouflaging yourself (like Peeta did)
    Staying awake late or waking up early to find tributes to murder in their sleep.
    Setting traps so people can't sneak up on you (a la hunting traps or that smart kid that dug up the mines)
    Practicing waking up to small noises (before the games)
    Figuring out how much sleep you need to stay focused
    If you choose to be a stealthy night assassin then you'll have to figure out a way to keep yourself safe when you sleep during the daytime.
    Also one more thing to do is strategize with your mentor about the parachute drops. For example if there's a tool that you really need (such as a knife or way to get water) then they should send it to you very early in the games (when it is cheaper to send things).

    I think this theory is actually incredibly accurate because in the book, Katniss describes one game where a cannibal was making the audience not interested, or it was just too gruesome. By some "miracle" he died of an avalanche. The game makers didn't want him alive, so he is not alive.

If you decide later on to abandon the cornucopia, you will have a higher chance of getting ambushed, because you’re not familiar with the terrain.

    So far in the comments I’ve read two good strategies:
    1) once you get a parachute, fill them with nightlock and send them in the air again so that another tribute finds them.
    2) make nightlock juice and give them to your “allies” while they sleep
    But a better idea would be if you make juice, send it on the parachute and have one of the other dehydrated kids drink em without a second thought?

      His shine a light on things but you have to look at more. If your going to be an aggressive tribute then use
      Spear
      Machete
      Matches
      And a tree.
      Reason why is because a spear will scare people. Its long ranged while others have thier knife trying to stab you with it. The machete is for close combat. Those can cut ropes and chains. So its a good hitting weapon. The tree is for hunting and waiting. If you found thier base then just throw the spear you got at them. Its a easy kill.
      For a passive tribute
      You want :
      A knife
      Food
      Water
      And being able to be quick.
      Most of them died in the start. When you can be quick you can get a backpack faster. Most die because they try to stand thier ground. Run because they cant throw a knife or spear very well while running. Since your not going to be killing you need to have your own food and water. Stealing will be good. And if you can set traps it will be better because you're one person. They dont expect you to live. And hiding is a must. You cant go running forever.
      So uh yea. If the hunger games start then just know ill be dead the 5 seconds because ill have a heart attack.

      What if you're like Katniss or Gale, and had to put your name in multiple times. Not 100% certain but didn't one of them say theirs was in there 45 times or something? That's 45 little slips of paper to take out, out of a bucket of probably a few hundred.

    The downside of being memorable is that it makes you stand out more to other tributes, thus hastening your death. The most prominent variable in this is training score. While an 11 will get you more sponsors, it will also make the other tributes more determined to knock you off as soon as possible.

      TheBeastlyPanda 04 that's a very good point. One thing is if you follow matpats rules it shouldn't matter so much, if you avoid the instant blood bath then you are safe to escape. After that if you remain hidden your infamy shouldn't matter - you simply can't hunt a specific person, cos the objective is to kill everyone else, not just one, so nobody will ease time following specifically your tracks even if you left them AND they knew which were yours. So don't be spotted until the end basically.
      However, if this doesn't sound good to you, I imagine the best tactic is to remain around average in memorability... Enough to get presents and for people to like you, but not so much they want to kill you. It might even be better to start with below ratings, then show your greatness in the games themselves (ie pretend you suck before the games begin), then the audience can see your skill, but the other fighters won't be targeting you

    I think a good way to win sympathy is a message to your family.
    The Games is live Tv and there is a high likelyhood that they will be watching. So you can be like "Mom, if your watching..." And throw out a tearful speech that'll win the audience over and get you some sponsors.

    • @S3rp3rior
      @S3rp3rior 9 років тому +2

      Riccardo Monico yeah but that's up to the game makers. There was that one chick that got a low score, played it super safe the entire time, then won by slaughtering everyone that was left and surprised everyone. You survive til the game maker's throw something at you. Not for you to make something interesting happen, because you're just asking to get killed that way. Worked out for the other chick b/c she played her cards right.

    • @lauraphelan5812
      @lauraphelan5812 9 років тому +13

      +Riccardo Monico Look at someone like Johanna Mason. In the 71st games, she was the dictionary definition of defensive. She started playing defensively before she entered the arena by training in private and purposefully getting herself a low score to ensure other tributes didn't consider her a threat. They didn't think much of her, and didn't actively hunt her down. The Capitol did the same thing-letting her live for now, but knowing that she would be an easy kill later. Towards the end of the games, she got her hands on an axe, a weapon she had been using from a young age (the industry of her home district being lumber). She then surprised everyone by killing the last tributes with the strength no one knew she had. My point is that playing defensively can be the best strategy if done well.

    The strategy is about political realism
    - Be as prepared as possible for survival and fighting
    - Be economical
    - Don't pick fights, but fight hard if you're threatened or attacked
    - Win hearts and minds
    - Only make allies temporarily if it's against an immediate common threat
    What isn't realistic, however, is how nobody ever loses their sanity or how quickly these kids can train

    I think a good hint was one of Haymitch's in the book: "don't reveal what you're good at during training with others". That gave Catniss information advantage, because she knew that Cato was good with sword and javelin and Clove with knives, but they didn't know Catniss skill with a bow until the very late what made destroying the supply pile possible and the tribute from 1st don't suspect anything while she killed him after he killed Rue.

There had to be, especially when they were thrown into a snow desert or something. Depending on what weapons you have, you can definitely hack someone's arm off before the body is collected.

    Hey Matpat! Another great survival video! There are some important factors that you might have forgotten about:
    What if you CAN’T find water like in the 75th hunger games? The only way that they got drinkable water was from the trees.
    In the first book, Katniss mentioned that poorer districts have the tactical advantage of having a better tolerance for hunger. In your opinion what do you think is better? Lots of lbs or higher tolerance for starvation?
    People who have sad backstorys are more vulnerable to attacks like the jabberjays or any emotion related attacks.
    You also didn’t mention the tessera. Is it worth it?
    I completely agree with all of your points but… You should definitely think about pre hunger games. Not the week before, The year you turn twelve and your name can be pulled. You can always become a career right? I would love to see a part 3!

      Okay, so, uhh...
      1: If you can't find water, you die, lol. It's as simple as that. In fact, in the first book, Katniss almost died of dehydration before stumbling on a pond by sheer luck! In a situation where you cannot find water, you just have to hope that you either stumble upon a water source by chance or that your mentor sends some to you.
      2: I don't think the two have nothing to do with each other. Eating a lot before the Games shouldn't affect your tolerance for hunger, at least as far as I am aware, but I could be wrong.
      3: Yes, people with sad backstories are vulnerable to things like that, but there's really nothing they can do to help it. Unless, of course, they make up a fake backstory for themselves and hide their real, sad backstory from the world, but that might honestly not be worth it, due to how hard it is to mask something like that.
      4: Wether or not tessera is worth it depends on how much you care about your and your family's survival. I mean, the idea of tesserae is that any child of Reaping age can request an year's worth of grain and oil from the Capitol, but the cost of that food is higher chances of getting Reaped into the games, and each child can take as many tesserae as there are family members in the house. So it's probaply NOT worth it, unless there is absolutely NO other food available. However, if there really is no other food source for you and your family, then yeah, of course it is worth it, because if you don't take it, you're gonna die anyway from starvation.
      And lastly, 5: No, you cannot just become a Career. It is illegal. Training for the Games in any way is illegal, as well as owning a weapon. The only reason Districts 1, 2 and 4 can become Careers is that they have very close ties to the Capitol, and thus enjoy many special privilliges other Districts don't have access to, such as the right to train for the Games. So yeah, you can become a Career, as long as you are from District 1, 2 or 4 (or alternatively, you can train for the games in secret if you are from another District, but that is VERY risky business, both for you and your family).
      Hope this comment answered some of your questions!

      Let's play a game what will you do in the hunger games if you find a 6 year old kid a lone. Me I will team up with the kid and tell him if we are the last 2 he will kill me because he is a kid. I will find water and food and all that stuff. If I see a guy I will use the kids cuteness to get him off guard then kill him. We are now the last 4 and we meet a strong guy. This is were you have to be evil. In the fight let the kid die. Make it so real that you tried to save him. Kill the other guy and tell the 6 year old that he was a great person. And the crowed will decide to kill the other person.
