' Wrote:I've been willing to do a Sirius Olympic event for quite a while (in fact, since the first four factions, the AW, RM, SDF and IG formed), but my lack of free time has stopped me from doing so.
Such event would have some PvP (divided by classes, and some fleet battles too), the starflier race, the torch ceremony, and an air show (I'm still refining that one) among other things.
The event would run as the original Olympic games did: factions would have to create an Olympic team in order to participate. Individual players would not be allowed, but faction-made teams only (good to encourage people to join factions too), and from existing factions only. Making new factions just for the event wound not be allowed. That is to avoid everybody and their dog to make one-man, un-RP factions just to participate. Also, all conflict should stop while the games are in progress, as the original Olympiads.
The prices would be monetary, and /or equipment also.
I'm going to ask Igiss to include some commodities for next release, like Olympic medals and trophies. Such commodities would not be buyable, but Admin assigned.
I just got a PM from evil_joker, who has the same idea. And I know that Kane, Cay and others were thinking about this too...
If this works, we could escalate the event, and make it an inter server event. Where a team of the finest pilots from each server could participate...
I'm open to suggestions, ideas, and the like.:yahoo:
