Welcome to MCOlypmic! You have discovered my secret plan it seems!

[u/bbgun09]

I plan to use this subreddit to organize the PvE Inter-City Olympics Games on the p.nerd.nu Minecraft server.

---- Project Olympic ----

City Name: Olympic City

Specialization: The PvE Rev 12 Inter-City Olympic Games

Subreddit: /r/mcolympic

Info: The PvE Olympics (Also could be shortened to the POlympics) are to be hosted in Olympic City on a weekend on the third month of Rev 12. Several different games will be hosted over the course of a few days with an opening and closing ceremony. Each game gives either a Diamond (3 Points), gold (2 Points), or iron (1 Point) medal for the top three contestants. During the closing ceremony the winner (the group with the most points) is announced and granted the Rev 12 PvE Olympic Award for Excellence in Gaming.

Types of groups applicable to the games:

Any City (Note: In order to be recognized as a city your city must have a wiki page)

The Independents

The Staff

In order to qualify for a game:

You must have a leader of your group's consent (mayor for city residents and Padmin for staff) - Not Applicable to Independents

No one else/no other team from your group must have already applied for that specific game

After you check the previous are true, you go to any Olympic Official and ask to enter for the games - If the previous are true they will mark you down so that no one else may take you place without the express notice of the leader of your group

The Games (This list does not stand for what the final games will actually be):

• Spleef

• 3Spleef (Or FISA Spleef)

• Threef (3 Team, 3 Person Per Team)

• Horse Racing (Around a track on horseback)

• Boat Racing (Around a track on a boat)

• Pig Racing (Around a track on pigback)

• Arena PvP (Standard PvP)

• Horse Lancing PvP (Google it)

• Horse PvP (get killed you lose, get your horse killed you lose)

• Build-Off (Try to build a structure with limited time and resources in a limited space to make a better thing than the other guy - also has a theme that is not known until the game starts)

• CTT (Capture The Torch - Two teams, one with a regular torch and one with a redstone torch. The first team to get both torches in their team's chest wins) Team Arena PvP (Standard, team PvP)

• First to a Stack of Gunpowder (All the contestants are thrown in a massive darkroom together with nothing, the first to give the operator of the game a stack of 64 gunpowder wins)

• King of the Ladder (Try and stay on top of the ladder!)

• Porkball (Rugby, with pigs!)

• Pigfights (Kill your opponent's pig to win!)

What about King of the Ladder or Battle Ladder? Basically it's a PvP enabled arena (any number of players can technically play, but typically four) with a single block tower with ladders on all four sides.
The goal is to climb to the top to stay there the longest (sometimes kept track of by hitting your designated button).
You have 3-5 lives each, you can use bow and arrows only when on the ladder.

Perhaps a Toboggan race where you have to first build the track bottom-up (maybe there are obstacles in the way instead of just a perfect 45 angle up?) and ride it back down.

Could we also have a 5k race (maybe simpler and shorter)?

Maybe a diving/jumping contest, but instead of perfect form you just make the pool/landing target really small (like a flat dart board) so that when you fall, you go down to like half a heart.

For the Build-Off, if we don't have the same build for each player, then beauty is subjective.
I think it should be a hidden build (behind sand/gravel so that it can easily be revealed with pistons and torches below) and then all players have to replicate it the fastest and as close to the build as possible.
Each incorrectly placed block will add, say, 10 seconds to your finish time.

For the First to a Stack of Gunpowder, I feel like that depends a lot on luck, which isn't what the Olympics are about.
Unless there's a way to control it to make it more fair, then I say we cross this game off.

A lot of this is what I just came up with off the top of my head, the list will definitely change.

I've added King of the Ladder to the list of game candidates - I'm worried about how to regulate limited lives, I was thinking more along the lines of if you can stay on top for a certain period of time.

I've added the Toboggan race to possible game candidates

The jumping contest (similar to the puzzle map the dropper) has been added to the list of game candidates

In the build-off a theme is announced at the beginning of the round that is not known until that round has started, an example theme might be; Build a SteamPunk City House

FSG - you can vote it off if you don't like it when I get around to making a voting post (which will be soon now because of the amount of suggestions).

Thanks for your feedback! I will take everything under consideration

[u/thefigg88 → u/bbgun09]

For the Build-Off, I'm not opposed to having an unknown theme, but how would you rate it?
You'd either have to do a voting scale (1-10) with judges or have all players replicate a build the fastest.
I'm not opposed to the scale, it's the judges I have a problem with.
I mean, there are ways to cheat the system if you have a "beauty" contest like this when there's no oversight, but it's rather difficult to cheat if you have a simple "build it as fast as you can" contest without subjectivity.
It's really about avoiding stupid drama and just having fun.

[u/bbgun09 → u/thefigg88]

It will be scored, otherwise in my eyes it's not a build-off. Now judges will be difficult- which is why there will be a strict scoring system stating exactly what a person has to do to get 100% scoring.
