Archré cleared her throat, and began speaking. A musical accent was in her voice, especially when she said her name.

"I am Archré Vivia, from Dashgrinaar. For now, I am going to refer to the list outlined by the Xrevarian delegate, and suggest what sports that we should include in this year's Olympics.

It is imperative that we include Ice Hockey (1), Speed Skating (3), and Figure Skating (2). We should also entertain the ideas of most ski and correlated sports.

However, before we draw these sports up, we should determine a host, as if we know the host, we know the geography, location, etc., so we can determine what events can not happen."

"I can guarentee that Xrevaro will be able to house all the needs of the Winter Olympics. IOur climate and geography are perfect for such an event." He paused and then finally introduced himself.

Luchien stands up again and says "Myrtillia would be happy to host this years winter Olympics! We are a temperate nation leaning towards the cold side, a small central mountain range with about 12 smallish mountains, we have beautiful blueberry covered landscape. We are experiencing an economic boom at this time. I promise you all that we can provide what you need. We also have several other smaller islands with similar but different geographies."

Gordon rose again, looking towards Archré, after pondering what his response would be. "To go back to the point Ms Vivia made, should we not decide the sports first, then we can rule out countries that are unable to facilitate the sports that we pick, rather than limiting ourselves based on the geography of a nation?" Gordon sat down and went back to his notes

"The last three options on the Xrevaran list are the easiest to rule out, in my opinion," said Blaine. "Too little action for too much work."
