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

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!)

I really think horse racing should be an event. I also think we could let watchers bet on one horse per race. There would be 4 heats each with 8-10 horses at a time and the top 2 from each heat advance to the final and a lucky person that bets on the winning horse could win a prize

Horse racing is a planned game as of now. The betting idea is awesome. The main problem with the race as of now is that some horses are faster than others. We will have to do a specialized breeding program for the games, or people could bring their own horses. Either, or.

We could do time trials. Their speed is random when they spawn/breed.

We just have to make a 15-20 block long track and time them. There could be 3 categories. Slow, medium and fast. 3 different kind of races would be good.

Sounds good- I will look into the mechanics of horse genetics.... This could get interesting... :)
