The International Olympic Commitee

Headquarters: Lausanne, Switzerland
IOC President: Pierre de Coubertin (France)

Next Olympic Games: 1928 - Petrograd (Saint Petersburg), Russia {Winter} Barcelona, Spain {Summer}.

OOC: This thread is for the International Olympic Commitee for the New Version of the E20 Alternative History RP...

OOC:
I'm not sure what this thread is supposed to be, but you may want to find out more about the Olympic Games in NationStates (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Olympic_Games).

This is part of the closed E20 RP. If you want more information, you can see the main thread, but it is a historical RP, and completely separate from the NS community as a whole.

OOC: Ah, all right. You may want to specify that in the OP, and maybe provide a link to the main thread. Anyway, have fun with it.

We don't need someone's permission to set up an Olympic Games thread. I do wish they'd stay away :rolleyes:

Bidding has begun for the 1916 Olympic Games and will end by mid 1911 at the Annual Meeting of the Secretariat in Lausanne, Switzerland with the famed announcement.

Brazil requests IOC membership, although it is not capable of (and probably wouldn't get to anyway) hosting the games in the near future.

Brazil is accepted in as of 1911 to the IOC.

The International Olympic Commitee is deeply worried with the affairs of the World... We are not sure if the 1912 Games should even be held in case of this Eastern War or have the Games moved to London if possible...

The Kingdom of norway suggests that the games be closed to belligerents, while being held in a location further away from the war. Norway further suggests that to repay Sweden for the loss of the games in 1912, they should take place in Sweden in 1916.

The Olympics are a sign of peace and good will despite wars. IN the days gone by, the atheletes of Athens and Sparta played despite the war between them. To say that athletes from belligerants can not play is to deny the very reason that the Olympics were created in the first place.

I want to ask you,how can a nation join the NSOC?

I want to ask you,how can a nation join the NSOC?

This is an E20 Roleplay, only recognised e20 nations can join the E20 IOC and we are using Real World nations back in the early 1900's not actual NS Nations. Though there is an NSOC, the only question is when will the next olympics be held.

The Olympics are a sign of peace and good will despite wars. IN the days gone by, the atheletes of Athens and Sparta played despite the war between them. To say that athletes from belligerants can not play is to deny the very reason that the Olympics were created in the first place.

The nations of Athens and Sparta never engaged in wars of the scale of our modern age, never put their populations in the firing range as has been seen by Russian attacks on shipping and German attacks on Petrograd, never used the level of rhetoric employed by the Russians in opposition to the Germans. The Olympics was created in a far more, for lack of a better term, chivalrous time period and Norway most certainly does not feel that with current methods and actions it is at all possible to emulate the Greeks, however noble that goal might be.

Norway fears that, should Russians and Germans stand oppposite each other on the field of sport while their nations stand apart on the field of war, emotions will almost certainly run high and destroy the very goals taht you claim as the reason for the Olympics- peace and good will. The Games will become nothing more than a piece of propaganda for the victorious side. The sole remaining option is to cancel the Olympics. And, for an event as momentous as the Olympics, that is no choice at all, especially when only a small number of nations are at war. Were the war to spread, Norway would strongly urge cancellation, but for the conflict as it stands now Norway feels that the Olympic Games should go on, sans belligerents.

If the fear of propoganda is to hold back the peaceful sports, then it is in the best interest to cancel the Olympics. For nations supportive of one side or the other, yet not currently fighting, may use propoganda to bolster there side as ready as any belligerant power. ANd if you kick out every nation putting propoganda to their uses, then you will be left with very few countries indeed.

ANd if you believe Sparta and Athens were more chivilrous, then someone should pick up a history book. Genocide, and putting civilians into forced labor in the Spartan Army or Athenian Navy, as well as using disease as a weapons against Civilian populaces. And yet they still sent atheletes. (Seriously some of the things the Spartans did were only mimicked by the WWI powers deep into the war.)

The 1912 Olympic Games are to be relocated to London due to the Eastern War and Stockholm will receive the 1916 Games in Return... The games are to continue sans Russia, Germany and the actively involved nations at War...

Other Nations Attending: Chile, Cuba, Egypt, Haiti, Iceland, India, Mexico, Peru, Portugal, Romania, Serbia and Spain.

Argentina and Brazil withdrew from the games before the Opening Ceremonies, but were represented in the Parade of Nations... Austria, Bohemia, Bulgaria, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Persia, Russia and the New Nations were excluded from competition by the IOC. (The only belligerents invited were Argentina, Brazil, Japan, Romania and Serbia who sent athletes to London anyway).

A formal note of protest is dispached to the IOC regarding allowing France, Italy, Spain and Greece to participate despite their Belligerent nature.

The NOCs of those countries in question were not made aware of their status before they competed in London (around May of 1912)... France, Italy, Japan and the "like minded" nations did complete with no thought of the political situation at home.

The Next Olympic Games are Scheduled for 1916 in Stockholm, Sweden and may be a very much needed relief from the events that hindered London in 1912. The IOC would like to send an apology to the City of London for the people of London desired better than the dramatic misuse of humanity and tools that the governments had intended for their selfish and misguided ways of handing the security of their own nations even if they were well intended...

The Olympic Venue bidding for 1920 is due to end around December of 1915 and a decision will be made at that point to include Winter events for 1916 and 1920's Olympic Games.

The Chinese Empire sets up an Olympic commitee and requests IOC membership.

Barcelona and Madrid bid for the Olympics in 1920.

Sapparo for Winter and Tokyo for Summer

The Kingdom of Belgium lobbies that Liège be chosen for the 1920 winter games and that Antwerp be chosen for the 1920 summer games. The Belgium government points to its neutrality, its humanitarian efforts throughout Central Africa, and its suppression of Arab Slave Traders in the Congo as proof of Belgium’s commitment to "promoting peace, prosperity, and human freedom throughout the world, the same values embodied in the very spirit of the Olympics."

ooc
seems reasonable, and apparently we have lost our Swedish player

France proposes Paris, the City of Lights, as the sight of the 1920 Summer Games, and in the spirit of international brotherhood, proposes Petrograd, the "Venice of the North" for the winter games.

Rumania modestly submits Bucharest, but also supports the Parisian or Petrograd venue.

ooc: and apparently we have lost our Swedish player

ooc: we have not lost Kirstiriera, he just posted yesterday.

France proposes Paris, the City of Lights, as the sight of the 1920 Summer Games, and in the spirit of international brotherhood, proposes Petrograd, the "Venice of the North" for the winter games.

Russia backs both proposals, noting that the 1920 games would follow closely on the heels of Grand Duchess Anastasia's coronation as Empress of Russia.

1920's Olympic Games will be held in Antwerp, Belgium with a Winter Section in possibly Liege or Antwerp...

Bidding for the 1924 Olympic Games will start immediately and last until May of 1919.

Japan again supports Sapparo for Winter and Tokyo for Summer (and will continue to do so until 1 is picked)

The Dutch support Amsterdam as the host for the 1920 Summer Olympics.

Bidding for the 1932 Winter and Summer Olympiads have begun: Tokyo/Sapporo look like the early favorites for the 1932 Games with possibly some bids from North America likely especially after Petrograd (St. Petersburg) and Barcelona won the voting for the 1928 Winter and Summer games respectively.

Motnenegro is a seperate nation so would be competing I guess.
Greece bids for the 1932 Summer Olympics.

Barcelona, Spain won the 1928 Olympics? BOO YA!!! Alright, that sounds great.

Spain spends it's time trying to spruce up the Basque region for the Olympics in 1928.

The situation with the IOC Membership in regards to Montenegro at this point is very uncertain and Montenegro is considered separate from Serbia, the former Austrian territories and Greater Germany at this time for the IOC's purposes unless information needs to be corrected.
