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

Re: 2nd SIM Olympics
As Jon Smythe no longer exists, I think Karl Smythe should be considered a 'new player' for the simolympics
Is the glass half full? or half empty?

Re: 2nd SIM Olympics
I just hope one team isn't completely loaded like last time. Other than that, it was fun.

Re: 2nd SIM Olympics
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

Count me in. Just don't pretend I'm a veteran.
This is where a creative signature would go.

Re: 2nd SIM Olympics
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.

Re: 2nd SIM Olympics
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.
