'08 Olympics anyone?

[Canton Rouge]

As we all know, it's only a month away to the Beijing Olympics, which gives me an idea. Perhaps we should have our own '08 Olympics, and that way, we'll have a thread that doesn't involve someone getting killed, shot, blown up, sacrificed, or thrown into a little cell.

So, does anyone want to participate? And if so, we'll need a city that can host these games. *Eyes around*

[South Malaysia]

I'm personally not into game as such, and that is reflected in my people by never participating etc. That said, your welcome to use my capitol city =P *lmao*

Ok, so 1 vote for SM's city [Federated City]. Meanwhile, here are the events I have:

Badminton
Tennis
Football (soccer for us Americans)
Swimming and Diving
Cycling
Marathon
Equestrian
Tennis
Weightlifting
Polo
Water Polo
Fencing
Archery
Softball
Baseball
Judo
Taekwondo
Rowing
Sailing
Boxing
Canoeing
*SPECIAL EVENT*: Golf

Any more takers?

[Robengrad]

I'm interested as tyo how we would work out winners etc. but its always nice to have something not involving some terror group or massive alliance of nations.

That said I would quite like to hold the games. Think it would be better to hold it in the capital of someone who actually RP's. So I offer London.

Also;
1) Thou shalt not call it soccer!!!!
2) Golf??? Olympic event? I think not....

[Canton Rouge]

Ok Rob, for the winners, I'll use a random number generator on a calculator. And further more:

1. I put soccer in parentheses after football, and
2. Golf was an Olympic event at the 1900 and the 1904 Olympics.

Anywho, we have 1 for SM, and one for London. I say London, only because I'm not sure if SM will be on starting Aug 8.

[South Malaysia]

Oh I will be. xD. I just threw out mine to help get the topic off its feet. I do RP, just not as much here. TEP is where I...have fun. =].
