Talk ran hot leading into this Olympics, as it became clear that last time (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=418457)'s record-breaking winner, Myrth, was not going to see out the whole event. With his early exit, who would step up? Would Scolopendra return with an even bigger exoskeleton? Would Sirocco, always up there amongst the leaders, snatch the ultimate glory? Would a new champion emerge from among the fresh-faced challengers? And who can write off Reppy, Cogitation, or any of the long-time proven performers?

As usual, Game Mods enter the arena to the sound of all their national anthems being played simultaneously, creating the unique mood that listeners can only describe as "cacophonous" (CD in stores now). It's handshakes all round, then they line up for the first series of events: the UN Challenges!

Stunning performances from Frisbeeteria and Katganistan, the new kids on the block, to snatch the top two places in three out of four UN events! Flexing their young, toned bodies, they are clearly going to push their elders to their limits. But Hack has made a strong start... can he keep it up?

Frisbeeteria: 3 gold, 1 silver
The Most Glorious Hack: 1 gold, 1 bronze
Katganistan: 3 silver
Sirocco: 3 bronze

With barely a pause for breath, rehydration, and intimate massage, it's into the life & death events...

Once again the young whelps set the pace! Frisbeeteria destroys twice as many nations as anyone else, while Katganistan shows her warm, caring side by reviving the most. Sirocco proves the best of the rest, continuing to cement his well-deserved reputation as an endurance athlete.

Frisbeeteria: 4 gold, 2 silver

Sirocco picks up his traditional gold medal in the Issues event (but only just), but otherwise the pattern continues. With growing confidence, Fris increases his lead, scoring an incredible twice as heavily in Telegrams and Warnings as second-placed Kat.

Frisbeeteria: 6 gold, 2 silver
Katganistan: 1 gold, 6 silver
Sirocco: 1 gold, 7 bronze
The Most Glorious Hack: 1 gold, 1 bronze
Reploid Productions: 1 silver

It's hard to see anyone heading off Frisbeeteria from here! But as we head into the final round of events, the all-important Tasks, all other positions on the dias are all still up for grabs.

Fris! Fris! Fris! The crowd goes wild as Frisbeeteria picks up three more gold, which--wait for the official confirmation--yes, there it is! Frisbeeteria has equalled Myrth's record of nine gold and two silvers! Unbelievable!

Katganistan romps in for silvers in all three events, and--you guessed it--Sirocco cleans up the bronzes. There are strong performances from other mods, particularly Scolopendra and Cogitation, but this day belongs to the new mods on the block!

Frisbeeteria: 9 gold, 2 silver (last time: Did Not Compete)
Katganistan: 1 gold, 9 silver (DNC)
Sirocco: 1 gold, 10 bronze (2-6-1)
The Most Glorious Hack: 1 gold, 1 bronze (1-2-0)
Reploid Productions: 1 silver (0-1-1)

Never before have so many medals been shared by so few competitors. And Sirocco has now raked in 42 medals over the last 4 Olympics, a truly incredible effort.

Since May 11 this year, Game Mods have performed 104,345 actions. They recently dealt with the 42,000th lodged request for help. These are mind-boggling numbers, and make it clear just how important they are to the smooth running of this site. So thank a mod today!

Well done mods!

Yay Fris and KittyKat, and not too bad Hacks ;)

*can't wait till Euro gets his chance to beat em all*:p

*can't wait till Euro gets his chance to beat em all*:p

Seconded! Euro deserves a shot at it. Frisbeeteria needs some proper competition! ;)

44,457 actions! What must your employers think?

Congrats to everyone, especially Fris, Kat and sirocco.

Congratulations! Go Fris! Go Kat! It seems that newbies are really good at proving their worth.

Now we just have to see whether they're able to continue holding their weight.

Congratulations Frisbeeteria. Now go take a vacation or something, as you clearly spend far too much time on your computer. :)

Well done Fris :)

and not too bad HacksJust call me "Enodia".

I think I better not:p

*Sigh*, and once again, don't place higher than fourth.

wow... so does that mean now the mandatory poll option is "Fris" instead of "Myrth"?

Go Fris!
(thinks Kat will win next year. Go mod team go.)

you clearly spend far too much time on your computer.
Computers. Both home and office. I've tried to keep it down to under 18 hours online per day.
Frisbeeteria needs some proper competition!
Don't sell the Kat short. If I had her RL schedule, I doubt I'd have made it halfway to where she placed. She's tough.

It scares me just a tad that someone has all that information. Oh well.

Congrats to the Moderators. You sure do a hell of a lot of work. Without you, this place would be the online version of Somalia. Thankee.:)

Yeah, well, you can yell all you like for the first past the post -- and not to take anything away from him, Fris is definitely a showy performer, with those lovable personality quirks that make him a real crowd-pleaser -- but there comes a time when style has to be taken into account.

I mean, look at Kat in action: the grace, the sureness! Every fibre of her being concentrated on just that one instant, that vital second! Fris may surpass her for speed, but Kat's performance has classic lines.

Such as the following ...

*Sigh*, and once again, don't place higher than fourth.

That's only because the hard behind the scenes stuff you do is classified top secret. ;)

Don't sell the Kat short. If I had her RL schedule, I doubt I'd have made it halfway to where she placed. She's tough.

Thanks, Fris -- and congrats for taking the top spot. :)

W00t! Congrats to everyone who won medals. Frisbee, Kat, Sirocco... I'm just wondering, what exactly do you do in your spare time? :p

Anyway, congratulations again, and yes, I am just glad I wasn't one of the nations on the "Nations Deleted" list, considering my recent "friction" with the mod squad... (I wonder what I was high on that day. Maybe I forgot to take my anti-depressants or something. :rolleyes: )

'K. Little bit scared now. Two years from now, mods will have clones to help, and they WILL be omnipresent.

Congrats to the lot of you, and good job.

Who says we aren't already? ;)

* cheers the mods on * while quietly supporting Crazy Girls line of thought, and thus backs Euro to win his share of stamped precious metals next year, heh !

Good job mods, although I'm surprised there hasn't been the customary mod promotion we see every Modylmics...

thanks mods!

*hugs poor ol' Melkor*

*Privately worships in the Temple of Reploid, and the Temple of the Mods. Sacrificing n00bs and the like*

Lol, anywho...Good Job Mods! Congradulations and Good Days to you all. Thanks for all your hard work, and thanks for helping us keep the Boards safe. I know I may be stereotypical, but hell this is just an amazing achievement! I know I've been close to being a number on those lists a few times, and I'm glad I'm still around.

Don't worry, even the Mods and Admins who didn't get there are still supported. Ya'll did a Good Job.

However...there is one thing I must do....

*long silence*

PRAISE REPLOID, GODDESS OF THE BLADES!!!11!1!!! ALL BOWS BEFORE HER!!!1!!

*Laughs hysterically and runs*

*Sigh*, and once again, don't place higher than fourth.
You win on making us less crazy when you get the site back up. Everytime you do that you should get 2 Gold metals :)

Hell, Salusa should win by Default! XD

Randome Note:

Sorry for calling Salusa "Sulsa", I'm dumb that way. :(

Congratulations to all of our hard-working Mods! :)

Who says we aren't already? ;)
You'll have to forgive Drache for his heinous thoughtcrime. The Party shall prevail! Big Brother is watching you! :rolleyes:

Interesting games. I would never imagine this. BTW, congrats mods...

*peek up from beneath rock*

Cheers mods! You're doing a wonderful job. Don't you dare burn yourself out Fris. That goes for you other mods too! Also, give Euro a chance as a game mod, would ya? Go mods! We love ya!

*jumps back below rock and hides*

I think Myrth should present his Great Eye of M0dz0rly d00m to Frisbeeteria.

The Great Eye sees and pwns all.

Nice work, Fris. That's a whole heap o' deletions!

I'm surprised there hasn't been the customary mod promotion we see every Modylmics...
Because of RL events and other oddities, the promotions came in mid-cycle rather than at the end.
| 7-Jul-05. Kat and Fris promoted to GM by [violet] | Euroslavia promoted to forum mod on the third of August, 2005 ~ Sirocco. |

Caus i have to, i wanna say good job to Sirocco, as his accumlative total of 42 over the past olympics is mind bogoling, just amazing, and oh, good job everyone else !

Sorry for calling Salusa "Sulsa", I'm dumb that way.

/me dips his nachos in the Salsa Dip... ahem, Sulsa... ahem, Salusa.

>_>

<_<

CRUNCH!

Anyone remember when I predicted Friss as the next Myrth? And who is this Scolopendra? And still curious as to where Myrth went, I was gone during when he left.
