[Bergnovinaia]

Just throwing it out there for consideration even though we are substancially far away from said date, but should the World Games actually come to transpire, the nation of Bergnovinaia would probably take interesting in hosting said event for practice for hosting a future Olympics. However, I would ever plan to bid for a Summer World Games, as during school scorinating anything of a large size is a nightmare while trying to juggle 4 AP, and 2 honors classes.

Hahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahahaha! Ha!

Perhaps... if the time comes and I need a co-host, I know who to call.

[Sarzonia]

I don't see why not, since the whole point is to have sufficient participation. Again, all up to the host. All power to the host!

Are you fucking serious?

That to me seems along the lines of allowing someone to cast a vote on the same thing with a puppet nation and a master nation. How would you react if you found out that one player used both his master nation and his puppet nation to vote for a World Cup host?

That is what this seems like in my opinion.

It’s not a vote. Cafundéu is a big boy, he can decide all by himself which demonstration events he wants to hold.

As has been repeatedly stated by the host and others, the only thing that approaches a "vote" here is the level of participation. Two nations controlled by the same player--publicly disclosed, in accordance with both rule and custom--made perfectly legal entries and tossed in a bit of RP surrounding them.

The attempt at analogy, comparing a legal and open practice with one that would require deliberate subterfuge and dishonesty, is incredibly weak.

New Palmie is going to be sad he's missing the Olympics =p.

Well, I THINK he is going to miss the Olympics.

Brilliant! Heading over to the signup thread: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=128312 would be a great start.

[Bears Armed]

I can't see a deadline given in the sign-ups thread: When is it?

[Sorthern Northland]

Deadline and Schedule
Sign-ups are open in this thread until the 7th of August, at 23:59 UTC time. So, post your delegations before this date. Sign-ups posted after this deadline probably won’t be accepted.

[Euskirribakondara]

Good afternoon. The Kingdom of Euskirribakondara is officially participating in the Sixth Summer Olympic Games (2011); and would like to bid for hosting the Seventh Winter Olympic Games (2012) and the Seventh Summer Olympic Games (2012). We know it's a big challenge, but we are with all the energy to host the best Olympic Games ever.

To find the information of the bid, visit the webpage:

(It's still on construction, so you may wanna check it on Sunday).

Hmm...this seems grand and all, but you can't really come into one of the biggest sporting events on NS and bid to host it. Prior experience hosting tournaments a tier below would help win you your bid for the VII Winter Olympics and VII Summer Olympics. But you still have a long time until the actual bidding starts, so getting a tournament or two under your belt would be wise. Good luck!

[Reinste]

Our nation would love to host the Olympic Games and show the true power of our race of pure Aryans. We would cordially encourage the undesirables to come forth and fail miserably under our power! Alle heil dem Führer! All heil the Fuhrer!

Yea,that is a little pre-mature,considering the summer olympics haven't happened yet.You have no hosting experience,and it would help to start with less prestigious event and work your way up.That will take a long time.Oh,and it is really hard to bid for the summer and winter olympic games in the same year.

[Kelssek]

Commerce Heights pulled it off, though I would indeed consider that an exceptional case. Euskirribakondara: It's as I said in the telegram, you appear to be new here and the Olympics is categorically not the right choice for a first-time host.

Wasn't one of CH's bids unopposed, or am I misremembering again?

My bids for the II Olympic Winter Games (Keto), Games of the II Olympiad (Querzakhi), and Games of the III Olympiad (Columbia) were all unopposed. Bazalonia had intended to put forward a bid for the Games of the II Olympiad, but withdrew after failing to assemble a suitable scorinator.

A new Palmie.

[Bears Armed]

Just to clarify _

Yes, the nation of Goodly Kodiaks that has signed-up for these Games is inhabited by Bears.
Yes, it's currently located in the same region as Bears Armed.
No, it isn't one of my nations...
What's happened is that that nation's player, only a day after after creating it without any input from me, contacted me asking for advice about opportunities for Ursine nations and as their country looked as though it would find the IDU a comfortable home I sent an invitation that was accepted. (And they'd already been considering entry into the Olympics, too...)

Okay?

[Liventia]

Just reiterating Liventia's strong interest in bidding to host the next Winter Olympic Games, following the successful completion of the First Winter Paralympics last year.
