Welcome to the Festival of Local Anaian Games & Sports!
Welcome to the everything thread for the Festival of Local Anaian Games & Sports (FLAGS), an olympics for people who thought that, not only should Korfball, Ballooning and Poetry Writing have become permanent fixtures, but that the decathletes were incredibly lazy for choosing so few disciplines.
Approximately one OOC and countless IC years ago (seriously, we cannot count them and trying to do so just causes confusion), Anaia was born in a wonderful series of events that culminated in the Declaration of Foxchester and its subsequent amendment. To celebrate that time, and the progress our region has made in that year, nations from across Anaia will be sending their best, their worst, and their people in between to compete in a gauntlet of sports, games and cultural curiosities.
To compete, simply sign up below with the name of your nation and three (3) competitors, with perhaps a short bio on each of them to get the creative juices flowing. These competitors will compete in all of the events that the FLAGS has to offer. They'll showcase their ability to be jacks-of-all trades and compete for the chance to win the coveted ANAIAN UNITY CROWN, a crown that some people in the more backwards parts of the region are convinced has magical powers.
Sports will be hosted and scorinated by the nations that provide the submissions, according to a loose schedule, with your competitors as the protagonists. Scorinators are encouraged to create a sport that showcases the best of what your nation has to offer, while also allowing each nation's three competitors per nation to take part. This can be as a team, in a relay format, individually, or in any format you choose! Please do your best to avoid injury and death, however, as the FLAGS aims to be a safe endeavour for the denizens of our wonderful sporting region and has thus only set a small sum aside for insurance payouts and lawsuits.
FLAGS will take place over X scorination windows (the number and timing of which is to be determined, but competitors will have 48h warning before an event is to be scorinated), once signups for nations and sports have closed. RPs submitted will be valid for all events and judged separately by those scorinating. If you do not wish for your nation's competitors to compete in an event, please TG the scorinator of that event and ask nicely for your removal. Each nation must be based in the region of Anaia and each user may field up to two nations, declaring ownership of the secondary nation.
Best of luck in the games, feats, and challenges to come. Let's see the best of what Anaia has to offer!
