1st Annual Graalympics Games

[Tyhm]

[The following is an official project, pre-approved by Unixmad]

Dates revised

Qualifying Week planned for July 28th - August 1st
Championship planned for August 4th-8th

The setup:
Each playerworld choosing to attend, including the official ones, will run a preliminary Olympics during Qualifying Week. All Events Team, Game Coordinators, or equivalent will run a series of games during this week to find the Fastest/the Most Agile, the Strongest, the Best Fighter, the Most Enduring, and the Smartest player on their server. The restrictions are that no player can be selected for more than one category, the player must be available to attend the corresponding event, and no player can be working for more than one server (though they're welcome to try out for more than one team, partially because the logistics in stopping them are insane). Event organizers are well advised to keep a list of runners up handy, in case their Graalympian drops out. During this time, a scripter from each server will need to contact me (I'll post details as they become available) to finish up the server for Part Two.

The Championship will be held the following week on a neutral server. Events will be planned one per day, with one Graalympian from each team competing in their own best field with all of Graal watching. Each player can choose their own gani set (that's why I need the scripters!), which should make for some epically interesting events.
The events planned thus far are Tug of War for Endurance (he or she who keeps the pattern longest wins - like a very, very slow DDR), Trivia (a test of wits and nobody gets to peek at my questions), a Race on a new field (speed is important - not just processor, but reaction also), Sumo (buttonmashing - finger strength is key), and Spar (Use your own server's ganis, weapons and gauges, but you'll still do standard damage and range).

Comments, thoughts? This is going to be an uber project, particularly with a less-than-a-month deadline.
