It's laid out in the later books that District 13 was involved in the production of nuclear arms for the Capitol, and exchanged covert independence for not blasting the Capitol to hell and back. They're the ones hosting and largely running the rebellion. I can't remember why they didn't just go for annihilating the Capitol, though, unless the big C had a nuke store.

I have no idea what you guys are talking about but I don't want to feel left out.

They're talking about the Hunger Games and why the rebellion took so long. I don't understand either.

They did, and also all those mutts.
All nukes were supposed to be shipped to the Capitol, right? District 13 only managed to do what they did because they illegally held back a few.

Wasn't that part of the idea behind Jurassic Park?

I only read the first book, so my explanation might not explain much, but

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

it specifically states that the reason for the Games is that 75 years ago, there was a rebellion. The rebels lost, lost hard. There used to be 13 Districts. The ruins of District 13 are still burning and radioactive. The Hunger Games were the punishment for the survivors.

Also note that the director had to show what Kat did to Rue's body, since they had to show the removal of the body. They didn't show(in the book) Katniss singing to her until she finally died.

Ah yeah, I know about THE rebellion. I was more or less just speculating about if there were rebellions after that one and why did they fail... empty speculations, tbh. Kinda silly, I know, should have said "riots" maybe instead.

About the body - yeah, I agree, though I'm guessing (again) that technically he had no need to, he could have cut it sooner... But really at this point I'm only arguing about "what-if" scenario in a movie in a fictitious setting. I should better stop.

That makes Vannah T. in Paper Mario a lot creepier.

Plus, aren't the Mushroom people... er, mushrooms? Wouldn't they reproduce sporally?

[Furtuka]

Well it says they're actually genderless so probs?

[Flying Dice]

So wait, does that mean that the Toads are sort of proto-Orks?

[Frumple]

Um. Actually, warhammer and the toads showed up more or less at the same time, apparently. Both in '83. So I guess only insomuch as the orks are proto-toads? Though it took a while before orks turned fungal, iirc. Still.

E: That said, the thought of replacing the toads with orks is pretty hilarious. Kinda' reminds me of that "Silly but Killy" ME/WH40k xover that replaced humans with orks.

[Flying Dice]

Nah, I meant temporally. If the 'verses were blended, y'know. Toads as the prototype.

Of course that relies on back-stretching WG lore, and the inconsistent nature of that is... hah.

Yeah, there'd be some weird stuff going on there. I mean, the warp provides, so it's not like it's impossible, just... very unlikely. Iirc, by 40k lore (if not perhaps WFB) the orks were flapping around before humans even developed as a species, so either the pipes are also involving temporal shenanigans or Mario & co aren't actually human in this scenario. Which, I mean. Maybe?

Though I suppose that would mean the koopa-kin in this scenario are proto-eldar? I guess with the magikoopas you have a baseline for the psyker predilection and they do have a sort of caste thing going on...

There'd be quite a bit of stretching and twisting to get all that to fit together, though. Could probably be done, but. Yeah.

Though... how would the goombas fit in this scenario?
