Graalympics 2005?

[MKxTortoise]

Is there going to be a Graalympics this year? I can't seem to get a real answer from mass messaging on playerworlds and I'd like to know for sure.

The Graalympics were hosted by Tyhm.. he's not around. But it's a possibility to resume the games.

Not in the summer, maybe the Winter.

Lack of help
I'd rather do some other events we have planned, two are in development at the moment and doing ok, so should be able to be done soon.

And then I wish to plan something big-ish for Halloween.

The levels for the Winter Graalympics were decent. Could've been better.

Either they start planning anything now or it'll never get done in time.

Remember the levels from the first Graalympics? :P

I'm more than willing to have the Graalympics hosted on Delteria. I'm guessing that do to short notice, and because it's by far the most popular event, we really only need to worry about Sparring? I'll ask Crono, or one of our other LATs, to make the levels.

Since impartial judges are obviously needed, I'll set up whoever the judges are with a low level RC and rights to the graalympic levels. Is there anything else that we'll need to worry about?

Everything should be ready by the 20th, which gives servers plenty of time to prepare their teams and run trials.

Weren't the Graalympics hosted locally by a classic server last year? In my opinion, a different classic server should be chosen to host it every year. Makes things more interesting .

I thought they were working on Graalympus last year, but it never got done.
I don't think it should be done on a classic server with hosts, it should have it's own server for the sake of not having a load of things on servers lagging it up, like NPCs and such.

Er, wait. Did Tyhm do something bad?

Losing a negligible amount of lag doesn't really justify asking Stefan to do something that only helps the 10 or so best sparrers in the game. Playerworld hosting allows the globals to do things (or not do things, depending on how cynical you are feeling) while the local staff makes an impact on the global community without wasting anyone of import's time.

Personally I am glad Delteria offered to host and I support Dysangelist fully.

I agree.
