Hi Guys!! ;-)

Hope y'all have been having a white and wacky winter so far!! I've been a bit preoccupied dealing with wildfire-related stuff around the area where I live, so I'm afraid I haven't been around for a bit, but I'm hoping everyone has been doing well here on Sleuth!! ;-)

I'm curious if anyone is interested in doing anything for the upcoming Winter Olympics?? (Remember about 18 months ago, when we had a little celebration for the 2016 Rio Summer Games?? https://noir.playsleuth.com/map/cityhall/post.spy?id=37038 if you don't. ;-).

On February 8, the 23rd Winter Olympics will open in PyeongChang, South Korea, followed by the 12th Winter Paralympics on March 8. Teams from 91 nations will meet in several venues to compete in 15 sports in the Olympics, and 6 sports in the Paralympics.

I'm thinking our Olympics might run for a week or 10 days, and have a nation-oriented team focus similar to what you find in the regular Olympics. Anyone who is interested in helping me put together a schedule of events and list of rules, please PM me or contact me on Facebook (I can use all the help and input I can get, so please come find me ;-). I hope that lots of you will sign up, and we'll have a terrific competition!!

So. Who's in?? ;-D

Thank you!!

Breitkat


P.S.--Yeti and Squirrel, for whatever reason, the search function on the Message Boards isn't working. Dunno if this is recent, or a long-standing bug, but you guys might wanna have a look-see at that. Thank you!! B. ;-)

Glad you brought that up, Devi. Same here.

@BadAss - yup!

Yes, the focus will mainly be on sleuthing, but there will be a writing event in there somewhere. And since people have LOTS of notice, coming up with a biography (if you haven't already ;-), should be a piece of cake. ;-D

And no, no site-making this time (at least as part of any official stuff, but it wasn't part of the official stuff last time either, so I'm not sure how that's going to affect people one way or the other.). B.

I had a little conversation with myself which sounded a bit like something from "Alice in Wonderland": will you, won't you, will you, won't you, will you join the Olympics? The temptation of a leopard leotard proved too much to resist, so count me in! :D

Okay, that's six!! Keep the signups coming!! ;-D

If we didn't need the website... why did we make them? I genuinely forgot. I have no idea. :)) Man, mommy brain evidence, right here.

If I recall, Devilish, it had to do with judging about creativity. I managed to pull this from the Sleuth Olympics board: "You need to come up with an Agency name, slogan, and anything else you think will help your team stand out. Be funny, be patriotic, be fanatical, but most importantly, be unique!! You can come up with a mascot, biographies, offices on your agency message board, website, and anything else you can think of. But you only have a week to do it. So get to it!! ;-) "

As quoted by Breit ;)

Ah, so we all just did one because we had too much time on our hands :)) got it. Well, They were fun to make. And pretty. They were all really awesome, actually.

Come on, people! Sign up! Hundreds of players and so few are up for a little competition?

I've been thinking about it a lot and I'd like to join. In game stuff sounds fun, hopefully writing part won't have to be super long :D
