The Olympics have, in fact, been done before, five editions each of winter and summer. You are perfectly entitled to run your own Olympiad, but it would be appreciated if you edited out the part about it never being done before and did not refer to it as the ONLY Olympics.

Delaclava is entirely correct.

And here, in fact, is a link to the sign-up and OOC thread for the Fifth NationStates Olympics:

http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=54237&start=0&hilit=Olympics

We always welcome enthusiastic new participants in NS Sport, Tamboiai, but I'd gently suggest that you have a good look at the Guide to NS Sport Roleplaying, in this link:

http://forum.nationstates.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=611

Note that the thread linked to above specifically mentions the Olympics as one of the recurring events in NS Sport:

Can I see what some of this looks like?
Here's a small sample of some various sports. IC means "in-character" (such as roleplays), OOC means "out-of-character" discussion (like this post).

World Cup (football/soccer) NSWiki article * Recent thread (IC) * Discussion (OOC)
World Cup of (Ice) Hockey NSWiki article * Recent thread (IC) Discussion (OOC)
Rugby League World Cup NSWiki article * Recent thread (IC) * Discussion (OOC)
World Bowl (American football) WikiStates article * Recent thread (IC) * Discussion (OOC)
Olympic Games NSWiki article * Recent thread (IC) * Discussion (OOC)
World Baseball Classic WikiStates article * Recent thread (IC) * Discussion OOC

Domestic football/soccer Union of International Club Associations NSwiki article * International Domestic Soccer NewsWires (IC) * International Domestic Soccer Discussion (OOC)




Summed up, as noted by Delaclava, you are entirely free to run a 'Tamboiai Olympics' which invites international participation, but not an NS Olympics in competition with the established event. Please consider editing your opening post accordingly.

Again, I do apologize. I used the forum's search engine looking for threads with the key word "olympics." I didn't find anything so I assumed there was nothing. Sorry for that horrible mistake on my part. I will look at those threads and maybe get some ideas from them!

New Question

Postby Tamboiai » Wed Oct 06, 2010 12:02 pm

OOC: So do you think we should make most challenges gender based or have everything co-ed? Please give your response!
