The Olympics

Hey everyone alright well were all starting to get really serious about olympics we got some things sorted out send me a tell ingame or put some replys i need some help comming up with ideas so if you think you got a fun idea come and reply luv you all

I think It'l be great! Can't wait to see how it goes.

well we have that we are going to have a Great event at the end... some of the games will be 5 v5/rumble Sf 2 v2 SF/rumble and 1v1 sf/rumble were gonna have sails/blidge/carp/rigging/duty nav
spades hearts drinking and poker is a possibillty

So what's gonna happen to this event? With the whole Wereperson leaving thing...

We'll have to wait a bit and see. Either way, the Olympics is going to happen some how.

Listen everyone im sorry sorry for my actions and my crews actions in FO chat everyone was acting terribale i thought i did do the right thing by leaving so that we would stop arguing i should have waited for gallo to come on and then i would talk but idk somthing was just telling me to leave. My SOs feel better so if you would be kind enuf to let us back in it would be greatly appreicated and im very sorry to misty and gallo.Gallo i still do consider you to be one of my best friends in the game and im sorry for all of that. So if you allow us back in i would happily like to run the olympics and try to make them the best they can be

Alright, let's get this thing going again. First priority right now is teams.
As we all should know, Dynasty/Wicked/Overkill.
Wereperson tells ye, "im merging with kaine"
So, next up is the Captains picking representatives for each puzzle.
A meeting with all of us would be nice, but not necessary. (I suggest Feb. 19 at around 5 Noon GT if we're doing this)
Replacements are unlimited for no-shows, as long as it remains in a 'reasonable' range (Meaning, put some effort into trying to show up..)

More details after teams are selected. I feel like leaking everything. You'll notice that the actual Point Layout and Scheduling has not been done.
No guarantee on how finalized these details are.
Every puzzle features 4 representatives, unless otherwise noted. One pirate may participate in multiple puzzles.
Bilge/Sail/Rig/Carp will be run like a typical OM Bake-Off. One puzzle at a time.
Guns will be run as filling a set amount of cannons, scored based on chat log/time. Gunner will say "Go." before he starts, and the last abandon message will be the end. This will probably be done on WBs. (16 Cannons)
Poker. 2 tables, 2 from each team at each. 4-Pirate Final Table, last 2 standing from each. No Rebuys.
Note that all events above will occur 2-4 times during these Olympics.
Drinking and Treasure Drop. Round robin style. No 'Playoff' or 'Elimination Tourney' after.
1v1 Swordfight/Rumble will use 2 pirates from each crew. Same format.
3v3 and 5v5 Swordfight/Rumble will use 1 team per crew. Same format.
Spades will feature 2 teams per crew. Same format.
Hearts. 4 Representatives a crew. Details hard to explain and will come with Point Layout. Also Round-Robin-Like.
These carousing competitions will be ongoing throughout the Olympics.
Sloop Race. Planned to be a final/main event with a large allocation of points. Will be using Swabbie Ship Transport as to avoid battles. Probably using 1 Bilger/1 Carper/3 Sailors/1 Dnavver...

Aznn and Wereperson

P.S. We would like to request a separate SubTopic in the forums for this. Cramping such a big event (that is planned to be recurring) under "Events" could get... confusing for lack of a better word.

I suggest maybe a time remotely feasible for europeans? (especially given 2 of the captains are british).

Noon game time is popular for a reason. Much later than that and some people simply can't do it and expect to be decent.

Sure. My schedule's usually very flexible as to when I have to do things, so on a Saturday, 6AM - Midnight GT should be fine for me. =P

Are pirates only allowed to play in one to two puzzles? Or is there no limit to specific pirate per game?
