I have reason to believe that the AOlympics will work.

And what do you base this opinion on, exactly? |

I base it on facts such as the high participation levels, the "enthusiasm" of the participants, and the fact that Krytenia (a nation that has been in AO for a while) is hosting the first AOlympics. Good enough for you, Starblaydia?

Lets not get hostile now boys, you guys are going to be working side by side as delegate & AORDO president on the new regional council.
Start to like each other now, or one of you could find themselves on Glassed Tachbe... FOR GOOD!
Anyway, Kryt has actually not been in the region all that long, I'll give him another month before granting him with that title, but yes I do feel that He will be able to do a fine job with the upcoming games. |

Lamoni did not intend to project hostility, and apologizes if that is the impression recieved by the other members of AO.

OOC: And he says I have a superior tone. Anyway. All adds to the mix of AO's FDC-makeup.
I ask because, to my knowledge, you have been involved in 1 (One) NS sporting competition, which is in its 17th (Seventeenth) evolution and run by a dedicated Committee. Olympics have *never* worked on NS, afaik.
First of all we needed Socrinators, programs what use random numbers to give results. Now, not just one for timing, but one for every single race where time is the result. One formula that is tweaked, yes, but tweaked god-knows how many times to give acceptable results.
Consider just the track events:
100m 400m 1500m Marathon (42195m) 110 hurdles 4x100m Decathlon
This means 14 different versions of a time scorinator, all that have to be checked for bugs and other anomalous-result errors. That is a hell of a lot of work. Now I'm not disparaging Kry or anyone else who's taking part in these proposed games over talent, skill, "enthusiasm" (why the quotes, by the way?) or anything else, but overly-complex sporting events fail - quite miserably - on the whole. Note the Olypmics is bloody complicated.
I want this to work, but its just going to take a crapload of effort on Kry's part, plus any help we can give him to get these AOlympics going. |
