Disclaimer: The Hunger Games and the first half of the quarter quell speech belong to Suzanne Collins, everything else belongs to me.

This was a submitting story but it was deleted, I've made some small changes to it but kept the original characters.

President Rosa Snow's POV:

I stand on the stage, before me the cheers and shouts of the capitol deafen me but with a simple wave of my hand I demand silence.

"Welcome to the reading of the card for the 150th Hunger Games. It is a great honour and also a great shock to be announcing this year's games after the untimely death of my father five months ago. I know he would have loved to be here with us on this great day."

The crowd clap respectfully and I hold my head high, allowing a single tear to force its way down my face in respect for my dead father.

"On the twenty-fifth anniversary" I begin, the same speech is given every twenty five years with the previous quarter quell added to the speech and the next one announced at the end. "as a reminder to the rebels that their children were dying because of their choice to initiate violence, every district was made to hold an election and vote on the tributes who would represent it.

"On the fiftieth anniversary as a reminder that two rebels dies for each capitol citizen, every district was required to send twice as many tributes.

"On the seventy fifth anniversary as a reminder to the rebels that even the strangest among them cannot overcome the power of the capitol, the male and female tributes of every district were reaped from the pool of existing victors"

The crowd gasp at the memory; although not many of them would have been alive then, we all still remember the stunt Katniss Everdeen pulled with the force field causing it to break down so the remaining tributes could escape the arena causing a second rebellion. It was stopped though and Everdeen and her fellow remaining victors were all rounded up and executed as a show of our power. I allow the crowd to calm down as I continue.

"On the hundredth anniversary as a reminder to the rebels that their second rebellion was as fruitless as the first a second games was held immediately after the first had concluded.

"On the hundred and twenty fifth anniversary as a reminder to the rebels that the capitol can be fair and just as well as cruel, each child of reaping age had their name entered into the ball only once regardless of age or tessrae."

The crowd hold their breath as I step towards the box holding the cards, of course I already know what it says we picked it out of the possible options months ago.

"On this the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary as a reminder to the rebels that they pitted family against family in their failed rebellions, each district shall have their tributes pulled from the family of existing victors."

The crowd cheer again as I take a bow and the anthem begins.

First things first in response to The Head Gamemakers question I thought I'd give you a quick history of Panem since the second rebellion failed:

After the rebellion those districts with major roles were given harsher punishments than the others, some like seven fought back and came out stronger, they now have the same number of victors as four. Twelve was pushed further into poverty, its peacekeeper force tripled. In four there was also harsher peacekeeper presence, but they have mostly remained strong. Eleven remained poor but less strict, there has recently been a resurgence in victors, they may be on their way to becoming a much richer district. The capitol is still decadent and ridiculous, people have been inserting fur and whiskers into their skin as the latest trend, creating some citizens who look more animal than human (Tigris was just too far ahead obviously).
