1st Annual Graalympics Games

[Tyhm]

Now you see? That's an Olympian. Why lower the chances of qualifying by including the greedy?

[Thallen]

Great idea Thym, I hope this turns out well. Anyway, my main server, Babylon, has a little problem with staff setup, and the co-manager and manager of the server are very rarely on to organize this team. Can any high staff put together a team?

I mostly interested in the sparring portion of this Olympic thing. The playerwords today have such a vast erray of styles and some very good sparrers. I want to participate in the spar tourny just to see how I measure up against the rest. Its hard enough to come out on top of one of UN's spar tournys let alone the entire graal community o_O

Yeah, but get the manager's permission first. I don't actually care who takes charge, but if two admins both claim to have the final list of contestants, all hell breaks loose - there's one manager, that one manager is needed to ensure there's one list. So have your manager email me saying "Yeah, Thallen [email here] is gonna be taking care of the events," if possible. Otherwise, just do it and hope nobody contests it.

Cool. Then kick your server manager into emailing me, UN hasn't signed up yet.

*cough* are you sure about that?

wow this is a long thread, last time i saw it, it was only 2 pages :o

[Tyhm]

So it is.

If I haven't heard back from you, you don't get a starting point. That includes G2K1.

If you don't contact me by or on Friday with the contestants, you're not in it at all.
Period.

its 5 unless im wrong, I didnt read it all either

[Tyhm]

1 for each of the 5 events for each of the ~13 public servers.

[Darlene159]

And so it begins!
Good luck to all the PW's who are participating, and to all the players who participate in the events on the PW's to find the best!

[Tyhm]

Nah, we tried to run it a month ago but it was too short notice for the playerworlds, so we postponed it. Which would explain why the prior one was so crappy.

Updates:
UN is participating.
Classic screwed up and already held their qualifiers, thinking the FINALS were this week.
G2K0 has been disqualified because they chased off their organizer, and because all-clientside server support's being dropped anyway.

You forgot to add Npulse

[Tyhm]

Yes, but we knew that. These are updates. ^_^

I will be the smartest player for UN.

rofl, no offense, but is that even possible? and if so, you don't have to prove much to be qualified. just spell a big word correctly.

[Tyhm]

Regardless - The first event is Endurance, beginning at noon PDT, 3PM EDT, 8PM GMT I guess and 9 CET probably. I'm not good with conversions, there's a huge timer in the Graalympus Lobby. All events will be held at the same time on different days - Trivia tomorrow, Race Wednesday, Sumo Thursday, and Spar Friday.
