Nationstates Olympic Games Discussion Thread

[Chenkorya]

OOC @ Euskirribakondara:

Why the hell are you linking to your posts in the Olympic RP thread in the Olympic RP posts? That is super unecessary. I believe Caf can easily find them the first time around.

Saves trawling through the thread, and potentially accidentally missing a post. It's quite a good idea - and I have no problem with placeholders, BTW, as long as they are actually filled in later.

That's the point I'm doubting. If he wants to make placeholders he better puts:

Placeholder for RP.

instead of

YAY! WE HAVE WON TWO MEDALS, A GOLD IN CYCLING AND ONE IN GYMNASTICS!
AND THE GYMNASTICS MEDAL IS A WOMAN AND THAT'S GREAT!

Erik Rainard was listed as being in Cycling sprint, but I had him down as taking part in Track sprint. Did I get something confused, or was he put in the wrong event?

Actually I make two kinds of RP.....

The medal announcements (like the one you're mentioning)
And the Olimpikiren Tantxa show

What you're talking about is not a Placeholder

It's the track cycling sprint. The athletics sprint is the 100m.

I think they were implying that they aren't of "high quality".

Oh okay. Thanks for clearing that up for me!

Instead of having byes on sundays, it works better for me to have them on saturdays, not just this week but for the next one too. I apologize for this.Instead of having byes on sundays, it works better for me to have them on saturdays, not just this week but for the next one too. I apologize for this.

[Cyborg Holland]

So we have a bye today?

[Chenkorya]

So we have a bye today?

Yes. That's what Caf just said.

[Wadomia]

bogus aw well thats alright

[Bergnovinaia]

Yes. That's what Caf just said.

He actually said it twice, while rewording it. XP

Hrmm...intriguing problem here. Albertasby's TLD for this Games is ALB - which has previously been used by Albundania. Would it be possible (if Albertasby is OK with it, of course) to alter it to ABT, as was used in the Sixth Winter Olympics - or another not-previously-used TLD of Albertasby's choosing?

[Bergnovinaia]

Hm... another interesting RP:

YES! YES! GOLD! AT LAST OUR FIRST MEDAL AND IT'S GOLD! THANK YOU JACK WATSON AND CORMACK O'NEILL! THIS REPORTER CAN'T BE BOTHERED TO WRITE SO I'M OFF TO GET ABSOLUTELY PLASTERED! KIASER'S! KIASER'S! KIASER'S! KIASER'S!

"The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph, but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered, but to have fought well." - Pierre de Coubertin

Can we please, for the love of Margaret, stop with the snarking and sniping over people's RP quality? It's just not on.

Why pick on Albertasby?

CAM: Candelaria And Marquez (five Games), Camwood (Games of the VI Olympiad)
CAN: Cantr (I Olympic Winter Games), Canamla (Games of the V Olympiad)
DEL: Delesa* (III Olympic Winter Games), Delaclava (five Games)
LCO: LancasterCounty (Games of the II Olympiad), Llama City One (VI Olympic Winter Games)
PRB: Parabellium (III Olympic Winter Games), Bulgislavia (two Games)
SAR: Sarzonia (IV Olympic Winter Games), Sarunus (Games of the VI Olympiad)
SCY: Saidercray (Games of the II Olympiad), Southern Cynocephali (Games of the VI Olympiad)
STV: Stevid (I Olympic Winter Games), Sativaville (two Games)

*or “Delsea”, according to Quakmybush

(Trivia: Three NOCs have used three different trigrams: Malabra MLB → MAL → MLB → MAB; Ropa-Topia RTS → RTO → RTP; Schiavonia SVO → SCV → SCH. Bridger youth and Sel Appa have never been assigned trigrams, the former because none of its athletes had the opportunity to participate in the abandoned III Olympic Winter Games, and the latter because only its ice hockey team was able to participate in those Games and trigrams were not used for the team sports.)

Methinks we could do with a list of used NSOC trigrams, to avoid future confusion.

Going to do an RP now, very fast, cause I am just at home for a minute! I've been to school the whole day. I hope I'll be in time!

EDIT: Damn, damn, damn! That will be no medal for today....

[The Kiaser Colonies]

glad to have one a gold medal but now school has got me. I can only do weekend rp.

[Delaclava]

Any reason why Group 3 of women's indoor volleyball seems to be missing? :/

[Krytenia]

Krytenia 8–2 The Kiaser Colonies

Of all the scores...

Requesting a volunteer from a participating nation who wouldn't mind my having one of my protestors kill one of their athletes at the next day of "Athletic" events. (someone who participates in a very low-profile track and field event is preferable). Send me a TG if you have someone. If I get multiple TG's, well, there will be multiple fatalities.

Damn! I'm not agreeing to it, but now I want to read your RP - to see who agreed to it
I like your RPs

BTW - what do you guys think of my RPs?

I'm scorinating that group separately due to missing it on MD1, so forgot once again.

[Albertasby]

Okay, so I have been really busy so I am sorry I have missed the cut offs! I will get back into it!
