2nd SIM Olympics

[The Steward]

Starts in a week or so, with both team and individual events. I am going to let you vote on how to do teams this year, majority rules, votes due by Monday.

[Bryan Doolittle]

Sorry to any team mates that I might drag down, but this is awesome!

[Lisa Strummer]

It would be fun to play, but I just know I won't have the time.

[Nena Olson]

I liked how it was run the first time.

[Ashley Hunt]

I had fun doing the first one! Can hardly wait for this!

[Mr. Lord Rich]

What is it? I am very interested. Is there a post from last year's somewhere?

[Carole Hanson]

asdfghjkl!!!!!!!!!
Ahhhhhhhh I have been waiting so long for this!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE THE SIMLYMPICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Oof I think you can tell I'm excited I liked the old format, it was great for a then rather newish player like me to learn a lot

[Jo Ferris]

I loved the first one, even though i did terrible! Though i should do better this time around, cant wait!!!

[Karl Smythe]

As Jon Smythe no longer exists, I think Karl Smythe should be considered a 'new player' for the simolympics

[Nick Gilmore]

Fat chance Smythe!!!!!!!!

[Scott Eiland]

I just hope one team isn't completely loaded like last time. Other than that, it was fun.

[Brian Leavitt]

WOOOO! Maybe I'll be a little bit more contributive this time, since I think some of the events included having your horses race and my horses tanked XD

[Matty Dubs]

Count me in. Just don't pretend I'm a veteran.

[Madelene Gilbert]

My only recommendation is perhaps have participants sign a "contract" of sorts, to minimize those players who drop out half way through. I know we had team communication issues, with half our team dropping out or not being active.

I didn't mind it last time, but found myself not being able to contribute much as I didn't have the horses needed for the majority of the events. It sucked being just the team cheerleader.

[Eric Nalbone]

As someone who has no vested interest in this since I likely will wait to decide on participation until I know a little more about how the format is set up, events involved, etc. I would recommend a blend of the two options. Set out guidelines for the composition of teams (I think this was a suggestion the last time around) so that people have the option to submit well-balanced teams, and assign anyone else who doesn't submit a self-formed team.

There are enough people that I think would prefer it both ways to make it worth while.
