Games of the XV Olympiad — OOC thread

Days 14 to 18 Edits and Inquiries

Lumden not present in sprint repechage -- Fixed, Lumden does not advance.

Jonas Kristersson (GRÆ) in hammer throw final -- Fixed, Caravaggio was readded, however there are no change in medals (this does result in 9 people having a second set of throws but we can handwave that)

Golf final round -- it turns out the final tabulation of results is incorrect. Graintfjall retains gold. Electrum loses silver to The Licentian Isles. Liventia retains bronze after play-off.

Jonas Kristersson (GRÆ) appears in the hammer throw final but did not qualify, he was 62nd. Given there are only 23 finalists, I assume someone is missing!

Host Announcement

The last cutoff (day 18) will be pushed back a day, meaning that the final cutoff will be on September 5. As always you can find cutoff dates (in UTC) on the results and schedule thread.

And with the final medal tally added, barring any last minute errors, that's the end of my duties for these Olympic Games.

I've truly enjoyed the stories that were developed, the co-operation, the articles, the graphics, the analysis, the world-building, everything. Thanks for making this a wonderful month of roleplaying. I hope to see you all again when the next Olympics comes around and I can't wait to see what you come up with next time.

You've all sent me lovely messages on Discord and on NationStates -- just know that I have read them all and that I am grateful for your support through these Games.

I would also like to single out a few people that I would like to thank for helping make these Olympic Games happen:

• Liventia - For tracking the Olympic Records and providing me several files that really helped me host these Games (in particular weightlifting and sailing)
• Hannasea - For helping me create the field hockey knockout xkoranate files
• Kalosia and Britonisea - At short notice helped write musical performances for the opening and closing ceremonies of these Games
• The Grearish Union - Created the beautiful logo for these Games, which helped inspire the ceremonies and the environmental theme of these Games
• Anyone else that I may have forgotten that helped me! Especially those of you who pointed out crucial errors that I missed, and those of you who contributed to the sponsorships.

Thanks for hosting these Games, Electrum!

They were excellent, the small number of glitches is to be expected, and I appreciated the built-in days off.

Congratulations on a well-run Olympics, Electrum.

I'm going to start collecting updated sport files for Olympic events and link to them in the Olympics OOC discussion thread. If you have them, please send to kelssekgovt@gmail.com

On that note, add the cycling madison events to the list which seems to need an update (it seems points per sprint has changed since 2008 which is what xkoranate simulates)
