Winter Games 2023 - OOC/Signup

[Achkaerin]

IT'S BACK!!!

For those who don't know this is the Mundus equivalent of the Winter Olympics. Back for a sixth installment this year.

As per usual you as the RPer are in the signup going to decide which events your nation enters and how many athletes they enter. Confused well let me try and explain, take an RL country that enters the RL Winter Olympics that's similar population wise to yours and use the number of athletes they send as a guideline- for example population wise Achkaerin is slightly larger than Great Britain so I'd blatantly rip of GB's total number of athletes for my nations team size that doesn't mean I have to match the events they entered though because my nations focus may be on other areas to that of the RL nation. There is a link to the teams spreadsheet at the bottom of this post where you can enter all this information.

As per Mundus Games you may select up to three disciplines (those things in large font) for your nation to specialize in, this will increase your chances of getting medals in those disciplines but will not guarantee them (I suggest tailoring teams to the specialist disciplines you choose athlete wise)

Finally bidding information for prospective hosts is included after the list of events.

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 this case the 10th of February 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 not be in the form of a poll but in the form of a post in this topic (this is to ensure fairness of the vote)

So with that in mind the following is the criteria for the Winter Games bids

• Information on venues- how much information you go into is up to you but a word of advice pictures are always welcome.
• Name of the Main TV Rights Holder (For example Tytorian News Service or EMTV)
• Information relating to the athletes village and accommodation for the media and fans.
• Importantly a written letter signed by a ranking member of your government stating 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).

The last bullet point is particularly important and should be considered along the lines of the Olympic truce.

Also a point I always try to make, the host nation is responsible for starting the IC thread with an opening ceremony and also concluding the thread following the final results with a closing ceremony should they wish to do so. I'll still be putting up the results for each day etc.

And as a final incentive the host nation shall receive a small boost across the board in all disciplines they compete in due to the 'home advantage'

My now annual post. Remember the mundus game are our Olympics.  You don't get huge numbers from each nation in each event. To qualify you'd have to first be either national champion or meet a qualifying standard. For example in 2020 the IOC  passed a time of 10:05secs to compete in the mens 100meters. We shouldn't be therefore seeing nations sending 4 or 5 people in an event, 3 is a push.
