Age of Valor Olympic Games

Hello Everyone.

So I was very bored at work this evening, and decided to take a little break for work, and come up with a very special series of events.

The Age of Valor Olympic Games.

They will not be taking place for a few weeks atleast, which will give me enough time to get all the events, & prizes/awards organized, as well, make sure enough people are showing interest. I placed a book on a pedestal in the middle of Luna Bank. If you are interested at all, please sign your name in the book.

I'm going to leave the details as to the events and such for later, because I don't want to have all kinds of details up, and then not have it happen because no one is interested.

Here are a few things of what I'm planning:

There will be 10 events, all taking place in one day. I say one day, because that way, with the extra advanced notice, I figure most people will be able to get the time available. If I have to span it over more then 1 day, it will be harder to ask everyone to get that time off. This way, all participants, can enter each event, and have a chance at the highest possible total of points they can get. Here's how it'll work...

Each events 1st place will be worth 10 points, second place 7 points, and 3rd place 3 points. Whoever has the most accumulative points at the end of all 10 events, wins the grand prize. 2nd most points, 2nd prize, and 3rd most points, the 3rd prize.

Each event will be awarded a gold medal, silver and bronze, obviously for 1st, 2nd and 3rd. The GRAND prizes for the entire event will be trophies, as well as any other goodies I think would be suffice. Possibly even something new that you can't aquire on the shard.

Details of the events will be posted later, after I find out there is enough interest. The date is still to be decided, but it will most likely be a Saturday afternoon at 12pm EST. That way, people on the west coast of North America are still only at 9am, and Europe are around 7-8pm, which isn't too late.

I'm going to create events that will be fair for everyone to participate in, and give everyone an oppurtunity at the available points. Right now I have about 7 or 8 event ideas, so if anyone wants to throw out some more, post them here, and I'll give them a look, and a possibility of adding them in.

Naked Mile? lol

I'm all for this. Hopefully advance warning is available, like we get a week's notice or something cause I'll need to request off work. But totally there

The best time would probably be like a friday night, starting at like 5:00pm. But yeah thats something we can figure out once we know enough people are interested.

Sounds good. I vote on 500 meter dash from paragon phantom asps to be an event. But seriously, some kind of last man standing in a pit of monsters would be a neat event.

I removed the book in luna as someone went and edited it out and put "I'm gay" so guess the book idea won't work, so lets just do it here.

Dunno who was the fag who editet it but there sure was pretty nice amount of names, i think its clear now that theres enough interest

But one other thing: make similar book but with text what provocates you to join forums, as some people dont use forums
