Mundus Games 2021

It's that time of year again- our version of the Olympic Games is back for its eighth outing, as always there have been a few minor tweaks to the event list with some new events added (horseback archery, chess and jousting) I'm also once again foregoing group stages in various competitions to simplify things. Bidding information is included in this post for anyone interested in hosting, if no one bids for hosting then you're all coming to Valtheim.


Bidding information

The bidding process requires nations wishing to host to submit requested information, what information is dependent on the event in question. There will be a deadline set for bid submissions in the case of the Mundus Games this is the 6th of July any bids entered after that date will not be considered unless the vote has not opened. As you can probably guess from that sentence once bidding closes there will be a vote conducted. By vote this will be in the form of a post in this topic and the format of that vote will be explained at the time as it depends on the number of bids received.

So with that in mind the following is the criteria for Mundus Games Bids:
  • A list of venues for the events- you are expected to include the capacity of these venues and the athletics stadium must have a minimum capacity of 80,000 (please make sure to include which events are going where)
  • Name of the Main TV Rights Holder (For example EMTV)
  • Plans for the Athletes Village (just an image will do with a brief explanation)
  • Importantly a written letter signed by a ranking member of your government stating a) that they will provide safe venues and protective services for all athletes and staff no matter which nation they hail from. (No refusing entry to a nation or holding people prisoner because you don't get along in RP with their nation) and b) explaining the legacy of the games in your nation (what will the venues be used for afterwards, will there be a focus on the next generation of athletes? etc) This is the selling aspect of the bid

Everyone is advised that the last bullet point is quite important as it involves something akin to the Olympic Truce.

Also as the controller of the Mundus Games Committee (our IOC) I reserve the right to refuse a bid should there be a legitimate IC reason to do so, e.g we wouldn't be having this in a country in the middle of a civil war. I would like to remind everyone that if they believe there to be a legitimate IC reason to question a bid they may do so icly, just please do it in a separate thread.

As a word of advice to any prospective bidder do bear in mind that you will require multiple stadia for events such as football and cricket.


As usual competing nations will have the opportunity to choose disciplines to specialize in that is those headings in YELLOW, you are permitted three specialisms. You may also suggest the addition of an event if you wish but please remember these are the summer games (so no snowboarding). Also this is just the event list I have not yet worked out the schedule.

Finally I am not simply assuming everyone competes in everything but I am instead letting you determine which events you enter however please note that some events have a set number of people involved and some have a minimum number, these are generally team events and are indicated. Also please remember when determining your team size what the size of your nation is and how sporty they are.

Sign Up Information

Again this year we're using google sheets to create the Database as far as I understand it I believe you should be able to add in your athlete information without needing to sign into a google account, if for whatever reason you can't add yours in post it below and I'll get it added. I have already put Achkaerin's information in there to give people an idea of when numbers are entered and when yes/no isn't. If you aren't entering an event please enter either a zero or no into the cell or leave the cell blank.

Also remember to include your nations three specialist disciplines in the sign up post you do.

Arashkai's specialist disciplines:

1. Archery
2. Fencing
3. Mixed Martial Arts

To:- The Mundus Sports Community

It is our honour to be able to put forwards our bid for the Empire of Arashkai to host the 2021 Mundus Games. We recognize the importance of the event, which has often served to unite the disparate peoples of our world in the enjoyment of sports and celebrate the triumph of the Human spirit. We believe that the Empire of Arashkai would serve as the perfect nation to host the eighth games for many reasons which we plan to detail.

First, though certainly not the only point, is that Arashkai has, since days long passed, enjoyed athletic competition, particularly taking a liking to archery, swordsmanship, and other martial disciplines. In recent years, sports such as baseball and cycling have become quite popular in our nation, with others such as football also enjoying considerable renown in some regions. Indeed, the traditional sports of our nation, those being horseback archery, swordsmanship, racing, and wrestling have often had tournaments held in the biennial "Yukhai" games that occur across the nation. Rest assured knowing that, should the games come to Arashkai, they would be met by a populace overjoyed with such an honour.

The Arashin people, whether they come from the mainland, from Rusan, or from Andreð, are well regarded for their hospitality and courtesy, often inviting foreign guests to stay with them when visiting. It is a major belief of the Vakanist faith to show hospitality to those who hail from abroad, after all, which we still believe most whole-heartedly applies in the modern day. I can assure you on this, the same will undoubtedly be felt when you visit our nation.

Finally, it is our firm belief that the Mundus Games represent the triumph of the Human Spirit against adversity, a tale which we are no stranger to ourselves. In the last two centuries, as we struggled to hold the line against the encroaching Ardian State, we learned that even the smallest candle of hope burns bright when surrounded by the darkness of adversity. While yes, we have faced tragedy as of late, we believe that the games will serve as a symbol of hope for those who have lost so much, as a rallying cry to those in left darkness that the world need not be filled with sorrow, for when all come together, beauty, unity, and hope spring forth.

We will, of course, pledge to treat all visitors to our nation with the respect and gratitude that they deserve. We will also make it a priority to ensure the safety all participants and honored guests who come to the nation during the weeks that it will occur. No individual will be denied because of their nationality or disputes between our nations.

Attached is an outline of where events are to be held, as well as accommodations for athletes and staff.

Sachio Himekawa, Imperial Chancellor of Arashkai

When inputting teams can we please remember these are our equivalent of the Olympics. Last year and this we've already got number spamming of teams.

In the Olympics and therefore mundus games their are minimum qualification standards. For things like 100 meters it's getting below a set time. For events like boxing it's amassing a set number of points in qualifying events like national, regional etc championships. If for example you're the sixth ranked boxer in your weight class in your nation you aren't going to score enough points for the mundus games.

Remember these are the ELITE athletes, if your not ranked top two or three in your own nation then you're not exactly elite.

Open Letter from the Foreign Ministry
Regarding the Eighth All-Mundus Summer Games

The eighth incarnation of the Mundus Games comes the year after the world sent its athletes to Tamora and Royal Seleucid, two nations infamous for their maintenance of the archaic and evil practices of slavery and indentured servitude.  Tytor sat out those games, as to attend would be to lend legitimacy to these instances of regime-sponsored oppression and to further the indignity to which the games themselves were exposed.  It is with this history in mind, and with the hope that we can restore some of the honor which the games lost last year, that I have the privilege of putting forward this bid for hosting rights on behalf of the city of Tsargrad, capital of the Kingdom of Tytor.

Tytor has long been a major player in the sporting world.  We have hosted the Mundus Games once before, in Aquilae, as well as several other international sporting events.  We know how to conduct a fair and unbiased Mundus Games, as we have experience doing so, and the world knows it.  If selected to host this most prestigious of competitive events, the Tytorian government pledges to hold the neutral and internationally cooperative status of the games inviolable; no athletes, trainers, or other participants will be barred from entering the country for political or diplomatic reasons, and all will be given diplomatic immunity for the duration of the games; all events will be protected to the best of the ability of the Kingdom of Tytor to do so; and all foreign nationals wishing to attend the games will have access to semi-expedited tourist visas for the duration of the games.

It is my hope, and the hope of the Tytorian government, that the international sporting community will once again entrust this greatest of sporting events to our capable hands, that these may be the best games thus far.

-Sir Gregory Major, Minister of Foreign Affairs
His Majesty Michael the First, by the Grace of God, King of Tytor and her Colonies, and Lord Protector of Floodwater

My vote goes for Arashkai.

For Fleur specialities: Fencing, Cycling & Equestrian.

For Heyra specialities: Swimming; Swimming Cont & Diving.

Swimming cont isn't a discipline it's still swimming (so you've selected the same discipline twice) that's just how I've done the spreadsheet so it's easier for me to keep track of the numbers.
