I think that tells us all we need to know about this thread.

Just out of curiosity, are there any plans on maybe having one somewhere down the line, or is this pretty much a dead idea? I know you said the thread was dead Star, just wanted to know about the idea of having another at some point. Seems like something I might be interested in participating in. |

Olympics have traditionally been an enormous undertaking, as you're co-ordinating so many nations, athletes, events and such that I've never, ever seen an Olympics in any form finish once it's even vaguely begun.
Better to chop it up into much smaller competitions and tournaments that you can create, run and scorinate easily. Say... put the track events into a tour and distribute the scorinator around anyone who wants to host part of the tour - kinda like an AO Golden League or something. |

The only way an Olympics-styled event could even conceivably work is if a committee of nations put them on with one person in charge of scorinating a limited number of events. Let's say I'd do lacrosse, basketball, and American football, Star could do real football, baseball, and field hockey, Bedistan could do track and field, Vil could do swimming and diving, etc. We could set the tournament up in one specific country for RP purposes, but it would take several people to do the actual scorinating.
That's my opinion, your mileage (or kilometreage? ) may vary. |

Thats a useful idea, Sarz. Very 'spirit of co-operation' there.
I think i've got KP's olympic spreadsheet somewhere that did all the running events and i think i've got a volleyball sheet somewhere too. We could send that sheet to anyone who wanted to host a track event, say, and then they produce the scores.
Say, for instance, the Golden League-style events go to Jhanna, Alikka-Corra, Woodstock and <insert national capitals here>.
I still think that an 'olympic games' itself is a little... overriding. I dunno, perhaps more effort that its worth. Of course, taking the 'Olympic' stigma away from it would be fine by me, Ahh, a good laugh.. |

You'd think I'd read these things first, wouldn't you? |

Well yes, but as no-one else seems to you're not alone in that little bit of visual laziness |

A 100m test:
CODE | Lane 1 KRY 10.29 Lane 2 STB 10.33 Lane 3 LAM 10.35 Lane 4 SRZ 10.20 Lane 5 VIL 10.02 Lane 6 CBS 10.35 Lane 7 FAL 10.49 Lane 8 KHZ 10.35

That, for instance, is what one would get, with varying degrees of times available. You can edit the %ages of the best and worst finishing times in each race relative to the Olympic Record, and it's adjusted for wind speed too, for when that matters.
There are 25 track events down on this sheet:
CODE | Mens 100 Mens 200 Mens 400 Mens 800 Mens 1500 Mens 5000 Mens 10000 Mens marathon Mens 110 hurdles Mens 400 hurdles Mens 3000 SC Mens 4x100 Mens 4x400 Womens 100 Womens 200 Womens 400 Womens 800 Womens 1500 Womens 5000 Womens 10000 Womens marathon Womens 100 hurdles Womens 400 hurdles Womens 4x100 Womens 4x400
|
Call it something other than the Golden League (perhaps the Gaolden League, ha ha? Perhaps not!) and we can start sign-ups. Note these are track events only, as thats all that was on this sheet that KP made, Man that was so funny! :D.

Shouldn't somebody just delete this, considering it will never happen again. |
