Ok, so for anyone who reads this, The Games Do Not Actually Have To End In Everyone Dying! I'd actually prefer if the characters start bonding and get to the point that they wont kill eachother. See Mr. Mees has lost faith in the hearts of men, he thinks that they aren't capable of caring enough about eachother to stop the blades. That's the reason he hasn't given out his knowlege and taught more people. So... Any ideas, post them here!
I wondered why we put villains in our stories when we have plenty of them in real life; then I realized that maybe we wanted stories where the good guy wins. — nogutsnoglory
