The Fact: Cinder Fall is keeping a name list of Hunters that she eventually is going to do bad things with.

The Question: Why? What is the true motive behind this plan?

The Theory: Cinder Fall plans to eliminate as much as possible, all threatening opponents who will potentially show up in the Vytal Tournament.

The Main Objective of The Plan: To Win, or at least make it to the Finals the Vytal Tournament.

The Ultimate Objective: Potential '''Assassination at Victor's Ceremony? The Ultimate Distraction to execute Cinder's big plan at the Finals?'''

I must state a few Impossibilities in regards to some speculations of Cinder's plans:

1) Her target cannot possibly be as broad as 'competent Hunters' alone, because she's planning to trap even first year Hunters as well. Her threat list will be so huge, she might as well just include the entire Beacon Academy and be done with it. She might as well just poison their water or something and take down the whole school; why go through the trouble of even preparing a list?

2) Cinder Fall has shown herself thus far to be very patient, very careful, but for this particular plan she had actually taken the great risk of attending Beacon Academy herself. So I'm sorry to tell all those, 'she's going to wreck everyone and take over Beacon!' theories or similars, that it cannot possibly be the case. Not now, at least.

Think again. They are just 3 man entering Beacon. No matter how powerful Cinder Fall might be, she cannot possibly be planning to take down the Academy right now with just that little manpower alone. That might be the ultimate objective, but for this particular plan that is not the case. If she had that kind of strength in the first place she didn't even need to risk waltzing into the enemy stronghold almost alone and getting caught in the first place.

By the way, those who might try to argue and say, 'But how is it possible that they can participate in the tournament? They're only 3!' First, in the latest Afterbuzz Interview RT outright admitted that they hadn't thought about that, or if Monty did think about it they haven't told everyone the reason why. So at the moment, it's easier to assume that you can enter the tournament with just a 3-man team.

Next, it's entirely possible that they're just planning to enter and win the Single/Duo-Hunter bracket. We may see Partners instead of Teams entering the Tournament to battle, and in this case, Emerald and Mercury will be fighting instead of Cinder.

This makes the most sense. Cinder Fall will most likely not participate because there's too much risks of exposure, and if Mercury and Emerald wins she will most likely be able to attend the Victor's Ceremony anyway, as a Guardian.

That is why she needed to take down as many potential opponents in the tournament as possible. While she may have no problems beating someone of Pyrrha's caliber, Mercury and Emerald are not. In order to maximize their chances of making it all the way to the end, Cinder plans to eliminate all the threats right now to ensure that later objectives succeed.
