Games of the XI Olympiad—OOC thread

[West Phoencia]

I would like to raise a complaint. With the West Phoenicia Sea Hags or the Women's Water Polo team. We have good reason to believe someone peed in the the pool and want a rematch.

By all means complain vigorously about IC illegal use of urine in the RP thread.

However, I would imagine that CH would prefer 'complaints' in this thread to be based on OOC technical issues.

And I'm sure after a rigorous qualifiers and getting ready for some heavy stat inputting a little light humour was welcomed. .

[The Serbian Empire]

So when is the opening ceremony? For uh... RP development reasons.

Looks like I have a few days to rest.

[Dunnes]

So when is the opening ceremony? For uh... RP development reasons.

And when do we get the schedule? For obvious RP reasons.

I’d welcome a humourous RP about it in the RP thread. It’d be a nice change of pace from “Jens Mustermann finished 984th in the men’s 100 m with a time of 1:10.93.”

About when I said you’d get it four posts above. (It’s here, in case anyone else is looking for it.)

Given Hannasea has met an, er, unfortunate end, can CH confirm if their athletes and any qualified teams will be excluded from the Games?

I have TGed CH about this, saying I'll accept his decision.

However, I'm still hopeful of getting Hannasea restored before the Olympics start as I am apparently not DOS and I believe the deletion may have been a case of crossed-wires.

That is… rather a surprise, yes. Welcome back, by the way.

[Gruenberg]

Thanks. :) Wish it were under happier circumstances, lol.

Anyway, we'll see what happens.

[Hannasea]

And I'm back. Phew!

[CoraSpia]

And I'm back. Phew!

Yay!

If we RP'd right after the final qualifying results were announced, will that bonus account for the upcoming results?

All RPs during the qualifiers will still count toward RP bonus during the Games.

Squash was originally included. And a number of players included Squash before a new host took over.
I can't see squash now listed as a sport being played.

It was included as a proposed demo sport if enough people entered. And than there was no mention of it being cancelled that i can see.

If its not going ahead. There may be some issue where players have been pushed over the 50 medium especially if they marked there players low number values.

No, squash was a proposed demonstration event. There was no guarantee that even Ilyseum would have held it.

OOC: To paraphrase something the host said to me a few months back, if you're letting your roster quotas get in the way of somebody wanting to RP something in a certain way, then your priorities are horribly wrong.

Why are you taking the actions of my character, James Burdick, and attributing them to me, the OOC player, in an OOC statement that you’ve posted in the wrong thread? You should know better than that.

You can RP anything you want happening in your own nation. You can RP your athletes doing a lot of things in Aeropag. But you certainly do not get to RP that my officials are going to let themselves be doormats who will give your nation’s leader whatever he asks for.

If you want to do that sort of RP, you should host the Olympic Games yourself. Oh, sorry. You’ve burnt that bridge.

ICly, the Federation of Free Republics has withdrawn from the Olympics. You may do as you wish with my athletes, but I will not recognize any of their performances past this point as IC canon and I will not be posting any further RPs.

Those poor athletes all they wanted to do was compete, not get caught up in politics.

[Britonisea]

I'm expecting a better-than-Rio's attempt of an Opening Ceremony from Aeropag! Although I was going to do this idea in Electrum, let's say my post got wiped. The idea for my next RP is to tell the story about an inspired Britonish kid who went to the opening ceremony. I'd like to pick out all the details from the ceremony and add it in my RP.

Lol.

CH, would I be able to rp that Havenssport people in other countries have been purposefully buying up other countries ticket alocations?

I'm not CH, but I would certainly object to anyone else RPing anything happening in my country without prior clearance from me.

I would agree with Liventia. Now, if you have the other nation's permission, I don't see any reason for CH to object, but without it, I'd say it's a major no-no.

[The Greater Korean Republic]

Is it too late to join in?

[Kelssek]

Unfortunately it is - but keep a lookout for the Winter Olympics in January/February.

Of course.

This wouldn't be a case of 'you have no fans at the games because some dick from the Haven has bought all of them,' I'm talking a few hundred tickets here, a few hundred their.

Yeah, you still would need permission, which I'm not giving.
