"But before we start, we feel the need to address one audience member that single-handedly wrote the same question on one hundred and twenty-one slips of paper. I'll take one now."
"'Qweenie Hesperaleux: Why did you not pick Queenie for the Resurrection Games?' Well, Qweenie, I'm sorry to say that a forum of Gamemakers presided over all picks and Queenie was determined ineligible. One because she wasn't a Career and two because she was a plant. I'm glad she brought you so much joy. Now, onto some more questions."
