The Discovery Olympic Games

[bluntpencil2001]

Remember that the Olympics only allows amateurs!

No professional pilots! That means you military sorts! (Unless they're Coalition... Commies always used to put Red Army sorts into the Olympics...)

Remember that the Olympics only allows amateurs!

Tell that to the NHL.:cool:

Out of hibernation. Gauging the winds.

And the NBA.

Don't they hire the players after the Olympics?

[uspatriotsf]

No. Current NBA and NHL players represent their countries in the Olympics in Hockey and Basketball. Have you never heard of the USA Dream Team?

As a matter of fact, especially in the Hockey event, its very rare to see amateurs at all anymore.

God, I must've missed something.

Probably my fault for coming from a country which doesn't really have pro-hockey or basketball.

[Dopamino]

Cough! Canada doesn't have pro hockey?

I mostly lurk around Media Center these days.

[uspatriotsf]

Blunt, you're from Canada? Montreal Canadians, Toronto Mapleleafs, Vancouver Canucks, Ottawa Senators, Edmonton Oilers, Calgary Flames. Any of those ring a bell? Every single player on the Canadian roster for the 2006 Winter Olympics were NHL players.

But we have gotten WAAAAAY off topic here. This is about Sirius' Olympics, not Earth's.

Sun diving competition maybe?

Been here since Discovery 4.77 (lurk mode engaged)

I have recently met and discussed with Atalawohisdi the trader that flies the Caribe. Just so everyone knows, I engaged in Sigma 13. He flies through half the system before going back to New Berlin, where he cruises from one side of the system to the other, hugging the sun as close as he can. All the while, he flies near Battleships trying to scrape me off. I finally send out the white flag, and move back to Sigma 13. However, it was a ruse, and he bit. Knowing his trade route, I interdicted the trade lane and the chase began anew. It ended, an hour after it began, with me retreating, out of Countermeasures and getting very irritated.

He kept boasting how he has never been caught; I'd like to see him beat until he begs to pay, then beaten some more.

- Best day ever.
