I love this idea. Of course the Xeno's would have to take hostages at the official Olympic Hotel on Manhatten.;)
On a serious note, this could be really great. I trust your ability to do this Korrd, but Im here if you need any help with this. RepEx will be represented and will of course be giving hefty bonuses to its employees who participate, especially if they win.
Multi-stop Cargo Run (in a freighter so the NPC's can CD you)
Skeet Shooting (I would assume a starflier as the clay pigeon)
Just a couple of ideas I just had. Also I would hope that everyone in each event would have the same ship/weapon loadout, so as to keep the fairness and integrity of it.

ON MY WAY OUT OF RETIREMENT
' 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:
' Wrote:you could just do it in con and have people race though the rings there
Meh. That's easy and boring. A race like that is won by the first pilot to enter cruise, as the ships go at a constant speed.
But a race like the one I suggested has many more variables than that. You not only have to be faster, but also to survive the race too...

How about a Marathon. One end of Sirius to the other with no defined track. Its about knowing the maps too. Not as dangerous but be a different skill than the Starflyer one.
Though the one anachronism about these proposed Olympics is that the Greeks didn't do teams. They were bloody obsessed with individual accomplishment (rationalize that with the completely group oriented Hoplite Phalanx, if you can). But maybe what you could do to compensate for this is take the best individual in the whole Olympics and name a planet in the next release after him.:cool:
