Games of the XII Olympiad – OOC thread

[Vangaziland]

I want to say again Kelssek, I'm not trying to point fingers or anything. It's not even major. I'll pay more attention too. Things happen. I honestly could never do such a thing (Olympiad Scorination), so let me thank you for your time again. No worries on resimming them. I'll just focus on future events. Thanks though. It just caught me by surprise.

Out of curiosity. In the mixed Badminton doubles both my teams are in the same grouping. Group A.

[Kelssek]

Ok, crap, looks like I need to toss the whole thing and start over.

The mixed doubles or the Olympics in general?

He meant the Mixed Doubles. He just had to move around one of my doubles team as they were in the same grouping.

5. Extreme Summer Vigil Fasting

This was an actual demonstration event which was competed in the Games of the III Olympiad, proposed by the Monastic Olympic Committee at the time. It is an event where athletes are locked into an isolated room for the duration of the Olympics, and whoever loses the greatest percentage of their body mass by the end of the Olympics is the winner.

I've seen this in the scorinator a few times. I was going to ask what this was, but I always forgot to actually ask. Now I know, lol.

Please run this, it'd be amazing.

Only if Arch promises to RP in it

Ok, good. I have a hard time judging sarcasm on the internet, so I just wanted to make sure. The hosts have done a very good job so far (Thanks Kelssek and Todd!) and certainly don't need to restart all over.

If we post a rp today that will carry on to the next day of events?

Yes. All RP's made from the last cutoff til the next cutoff will count for the next day.

Would anyone have any heartburn if I expanded the handball knockouts from 8 to 16 teams? I have the capacity to do 16, so I figured why not.

Go for it.

Todd, I realize the sailing events are tenatively scheduled (Day 21, IICR, and subject to change). Do you have a more specific window for them? I'd like to roleplay my puppet, Thesi (BTE), and work up news articles for these. TY.

At this time, I do not. Kelssek's the guy for sailing (I believe), but your best bet would be to start RPing now. RP bonuses are cumulative, and more RP's one does and more quality RP's one puts out increases their RP score. So even if you haven't RP'd yet (which seems to be the case), you can quickly gain some points by doing a few quality RP's.

If you're completely out of creativity, I or Kelssek could likely give you some jumping points.

[Kelssek]

Sailing events start on day 21 (which is currently expected to be July 29) and continue till the end (the last day at this point is Day 33, but it's the RL dates that may change while the IC days are pretty firm).

But as Todd says, if you have some pre-event stuff you plan to post, it actually helps your other entries as well if you post them sooner.

Just a question. How did we go from Matchday 3 of Men's Handball to the Round of Sixteen. In the post it's listed as matchday 35, which may have been meant as 3-5, but only one day is viewable. JW.

Bit of a scheduling discrepancy - I divided the groups into 4's, which means the round finishes through 3 match days, and the last post should be matchday 3. This is the same case for the Women's groups.

I believe the Women's side is correct but as of the most recent scorination on the men's side there were different amounts of games played all over the place. For instance my team on the table has 1 game played, and Valanora 2. Further other groups have teams with 3 games played. With group one having 5, and the rest seemingly having 4, but like i said none of the tables with the same amount of games played unless i'm seriously missing something.


The last scorination day for Mens handball was saturday

You are certainly correct and I apologize wholeheartedly. That should go out to five matchdays. I will edit this issue toot sweet.
