2018 Open Talossalympic Games

[Alèx Soleighlfred]

I made a mistake failing to add Gluc da Dhi to the competitor list, it's fixed now. Please let me know if I messed up something else in the wiki!

[Alèx Soleighlfred]

a little update.

1. I propose holding chess games at lichess.org - seems like a pretty comfy website.
2. For battleship: battleship-game.org
3. Rock-paper-scissors may be held in a special thread on Witt, because we don't need anything more for that.
4. RISK is trickier, we still need to form a team that will come up with maps. If no one's around, I'll do that alone, but that'll take time. I think I need help with RISK.
5. I say Discord was a bad idea, its bulky and big and needs registration. Maybe good old chatzy is a better platrofm to communicate during the game?

Thoughts, comments, better websites? Thanks :)

P. S. Also there's provisional RPS brackets on the wiki: wiki.talossa.com/2018_Talossalympic_Games#Schedule
Please take a look. Groups were determined so that different provinces were represented in different groups, and otherwise randomly.

I like it.
Still sad to see Reversi get dropped, but I understand your reasons.

[Alèx Soleighlfred]

We'll certainly expand the list of disciplines next time.

[Lüc da Schir]

I strongly suspect that the Risk tournament will (potentially) be the most interesting competition held in Talossa in a long while. Let's smash those pesky Cézembreans, Vitx.

[Alèx Soleighlfred]

it will, if we don't mess up with the rules like previous time :/

Har har, I strongly suspect we will end up with 2 Cezembrean teams. beat THAT! :P
That is, if we play in pairs. We could also play on by player basis, 1 player - 1 RISK country.

[Iac Marscheir]

I feel like I’m RISKing my province’s pride.

[Federica Viola]

Azul likazar! I'd like to register myself for the disciplines of battleship and chess, if it's not too late

Ooo - Chess ... sounds like fun!  Me too, if it's on the list, please.

[Alèx Soleighlfred]

Azul Federica, azul Ian, thanks for your interest, surely I will include you in the roster if you're still interested.

I just thought that I owe you some update in my capacity as TOC head commissioner. I thought that my vacation will allow me to start the Olympics during July, but life isn't that predictable and I didn't have a lot of free time for that alas. So we didn't move quite a lot.

I propose the following:

- Let's conduct Rock-Paper-Scissors next week.
- Let's finally start thinking about RISK. Iac, interested in making the rules? Anyone?

Thank you for your patience and sorry for my slowness.

[Gödafrïeu Válcadác’h]

I may have made this recommendation before, but if not: for Risk I highly recommend Warlight.net - I think one can replicate the original RISK rules, and for sure, one can play the RISK map.
