Ivory's Tower

Dearest Lace and Flynn, I cant believe how proud I am of you. Both of you were brilliant from the start! You impressed me and most of all as your mentor and GM you made me proud! I can’t even stress how much D1 means to me and how honored I am to have you both as my tributes. You made me proud and fought valiantly. You were true warriors, deserving of the title of courageous Career. AS a final farewell to you lovely tributes I offer you a saying, a prayer if you will that gives me strength in the face of anything. So go on into the next life with this message:

May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be ever at your back.  May the sun shine warm upon your face and the rain fall softly on your fields.  And until we meet again, may God hold you in the hollow of his hand.

And listen to the lyrics for they hold a message as well:

And while you’re out there gettin’ where you’re gettin’ to
I hope you know somebody loves you
And wants the same things too
Yeah, this is my wish

I hope you never look back but you never forget
All the ones who love you and the place you left
I hope you always forgive and you never regret
And you help somebody every chance you get

My wish for you is that you will always think of me as a mentor, and come back to D1 or come back to me how ever you please. I will alwasy be there to lend a helping hand. I love you tribabies! And here is my goodbye…

I bid you a dear farewell, and before i end i must salute you, in the only way fitting. It is no simple salute, it means goodbye. It means i love you. It means thanks, it means admiration, it means good-bye to someone you love. 

Brent and Onyx, being part of the quell you faced more horrors and more challenges that most. You fought bravely and as the GMs wanted you gave them the show of a life time. I could not have been more proud of my tributes. 

While you are gone, your memory is not lost. You live on in the hopes and dreams of allt he fallen tributes. You are in a far better place, far luckier than the fate I suffer as a mentor year after year. I failed you and I am sorry. Know that I love you and you fought like warriors, true careers of District 1. We are proud of you, everyone one is. And most of all so am I.

Don’t be dismayed at good-byes. A farewell is necessary before we can meet again and meeting again, after moments or a lifetime, is certain for those who are friends. 

This is not goodbye after all, it is a promise that I wil see you again. In other games or as a future mentor. Look to me always for help and guidance, and forever as a friend.

I bid you a dear farewell, and before i end i must salute you, in the only way fitting. It is no simple salute, it means goodbye. It means i love you. It means thanks, it means admiration, it means good-bye to someone you love. 

Love Ivory!

My dearest tributes, Devin and Justice. You were wonders to mentor, and brilliant fighters.  I love you so much and from the beginning I was so proud of you. You fought hard and even in your deaths you brought glory and pride to District 1. I am honored to have mentored such a brilliant pair of tributes. 

While you have gone, and moved on from the games. You should know that I will forever remember you and the bravery and courageousness you showed in the arena. 

Listen to the song as you read this and let its lyrics give you a message: 

Will you think that you’re all alone when no one’s there to hold your hand? 
When all you know seems so far away and everything is temporary, rest your head 
I’m permanent 
I’m permanent 

I will always be there to help you out, whether you show up in District 1 again or move on to another district or another game! 

Saying goodbye isn’t the hard part, it’s what we leave behind that’s tough. 
We only part to meet again. 
Until this moment, I never understood how hard it was to lose something you never had. 
You never leave someone behind, you take a part of them with you and leave a part of yourself behind.

I bid you a dear farewell, and before i end i must salute you, in the only way fitting. It is no simple salute, it means goodbye. It means i love you. It means thanks, it means admiration, it means good-bye to someone you love.

1, 2, 3, 4… When would it stop this time? What had she done wrong now? It was never anything she did, it wasn’t her fault she merely existed. His hands slapped across her pale face, her blonde hair flying out. She didn’t retaliate, that just made it worse. But oh did she imagine just one time…

Well… well… well… Dearest tributes of HGOP 41 HGM Elias, GM Argon and I are not so pleased with the quality of the submissions. Being the ever faithful English Teacher, Gamemaker I am going to give you a lesson on the writing process for a submission and wait for it.. this may be a new topic for some of you… it’s called PROOF READING! Oh, I know it sounds scary but trust me dear students tributes, it is not that hard and your task submissions will look and read so much better if you do it! Shocking I know.. I bet you figured all you needed to do was write the task, and turn it in. Well Miss Ivory is fighting back the urge to reach for her red pen and mark up the tasks and send them back for revisions for half credit.

Here are some general rules for submitting tasks and in particular Private Trainings:

1.       If you say the “the GM’s looked on in amazement” “The GM’s looked pleased” “The GM’s nodded in appreciation” you best give us a task worthy of such nice responses. Failure to do so will only result in you being mocked, laughed at and made a spectacle of.

2.       Originality is always welcome, and so very much appreciated. Hmm.. What are the chances that all of you know how to throw, throwing knives at dummies, or can shoot a bow and arrow. Be creative. You complain because you get a low score.. Maybe do something we haven’t seen before and you will get the elusive 12.

3.   Refering to my classroom arena rules may be in your favor… here

On to the mockery..

• If you re-use a PT… make sure you change all names, and make the changes for all instances of he/she him/her… because it is really awkward when a GM has to ask.. “Wait.. is this tribute a boy or girl?”
•   COMMA’s…. oh god you guys… Some of you are A: either too comma happy! Or B: have no idea what a comma is! *head desk* sooo many comma splices I had nightmares last night.
• Let’s not get started on the run-on sentences, because I think I can speak for everyone when I say that they are a pain in the ass, because who really wants to read a sentence that is like a million words long, certainly not a Gamemaker who has a billion other things to worry about like, tasks, greyface’s, sassy tributes, and the general stress of running the games to keep you all happy. (oh in case you are wondering… that was a run-on sentence, and it’s not fun to read now is it… Periods/Exclamation Points and Question Marks are great ways to break up a sentence… try it out some time!)
• Sentence Fragments… oh lord you guys..  A sentence needs to have a subject, and a predicate and both parts need a modifier! OMG I know this is crazy! What’s a modifier? It’s so simple! A modifier can be an adjective, an adverb, phrase or clause that adds information to the sentence! And well… if you don’t know what an adjective or adverb is.. I cannot help you and maybe you should go back to school! I have 30 4^th graders this fall who would love to help explain basic sentence structure to you!
• Leave the vagueness to the Gamemaker’s, it is our job to keep you wondering, not to make us wonder what the hell you just did to impress us.
• There is a difference between they’re/there/their and your/you’re in case you didnt know…
• SPELLING…. SPELLING…. SPELLING…. honsetly, it’s suepr annoyning when you’re ttsask look leik this. *refer back to the necessity of proofreading…*

With much intended love, <3 GM Ivory

Swift had been traveling all night. He was absolutely exhausted, the bread in his bag seeming heavier and heavier with each step. He had originally decided to go to the mushroom forest, but it just seems like a dangerous place, and he doesn’t feel safe going in there. Especially by himself. He…
