OT - The Hunger Games
So anyone see anything we can steal from the Hunger Games to use in your scenarios?

Haven't read the book (heard about it the first time just now), but the theme could work, if not in Twilight right after the fall, maybe some ten years or so after it. I'm thinking the kind of situation as in The Postman or perhaps a bit modified, but still.

Hunger games comes across as a straight rip-off from the Japanese film "Battle Royale"

I've read the series and it's OK. Not fantastic or ground breaking but a decent page-turner. I don't know about the film, but the ubiquitous love triangle is already there in book one.
The new take on the "Bread and Circuses" idea is OK as is the repressive actions of the government. It could be used in the sense of institutionalised violence being used as a tool of control. What if the powers that be in Krakow decided to institute a Games to allow robotniki a fast track into the city. Win three fights and get citizenship. It could be a pressure release against the rioting and if you add sentences of fighting in the game, you might get an interesting scenario. Add a freedom fighter who uses the games to spread the message of revolt, and you won't be far off the premise of the books. Katniss is also emotionally compromised, suspicious and reliant on violence to solve her problems: she's pretty much a PC...
