New version of NationStates means: Game Mod Olympics!

The people wanted to know: could Frisbeeteria continue his awesome form from the previous Game Mod Olympics (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=451735)? How would new kid on the block Euroslavia perform? Was it possible for Sirocco to earn any more bronze medals?

This year, contestants entered the arena performing the native dances of their homeland. Crowd opinion ranged from "Beautifully evocative" and "Profoundly moving" to "I just wish he'd put some clothes on."

Then it's straight into the action! As always, the Olympics gets started with the famous UN events:

Whoa! Frisbeeteria leaves the competition in no doubt that he's here to play. In the first event, UN Cheat Checks, Fris pounds the opposition into the dirt and laughs at their flailing bodies. And he wins the next two comfortably, too... but with a decreasing margin. By the fourth event, Fris slips into second place, beaten by the always feisty Katganistan. The murmurs begin: Has he gone too hard too early?

And what a start from Euro! Medals in all four events show he's not intimidated by this field.

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

Once again, Frisbeeteria wields the Big Scythe, while Katganistan breathes new life into the fallen. Euroslavia continues his strong showing, coming within a whisker of gold!

Frisbeeteria: 4 gold, 1 silver, 1 bronze
Katganistan: 2 gold, 2 silver, 1 bronze

Sirocco powers out of the blocks in the event he has made his own over many, many Olympics. But then it's business as usual, with the awesome trio of Frisbeeteria, Katganistan, and Euroslavia dominating the other events!

SalusaSecondus comes in second in the Daily Issues event, but is led protesting from the field after it is explained to him that this is a Game Mod Olympics, not an Admin Olympics.

Frisbeeteria: 6 gold, 1 silver, 1 bronze
Katganistan: 2 gold, 3 silver, 2 bronze
Sirocco: 1 gold
Euroslavia: 3 silver, 5 bronze
The Most Glorious Hack: 1 silver

This Olympics sees the introduction of a new event: "Watchlist Modifications"! This confusingly arcane event, which appears to be a kind of cross between marathon running, syncronized swimming, and duck shooting, measures the Game Mods' ability to track down the most vile NationStates evil-doers.

--- Watchlist Modifications ---

The event may be new, but the end result is the same: gold to Fris!

Frisbeeteria: 7 gold, 1 silver, 1 bronze
Katganistan: 2 gold, 4 silver, 2 bronze
Sirocco: 1 gold
Euroslavia: 3 silver, 5 bronze
The Most Glorious Hack: 1 silver
GMC Military Arms: 1 bronze

Frisbeeteria, Frisbeeteria, and again Frisbeeteria! Followed by Kat, Kat, Kat, and Euro, Euro, Euro! What amazing--even monotonous--consistency! That's what the crowd pays its money for!

The final standings:

Frisbeeteria: 10 gold, 1 silver, 1 bronze (last time: 9-2-0)
Katganistan: 2 gold, 7 silver, 2 bronze (1-9-0)
Sirocco: 1 gold (1-0-10)
Euroslavia: 3 silver, 8 bronze (Did Not Compete)
The Most Glorious Hack: 1 silver (1-0-1)
GMC Military Arms: 1 bronze (0-0-0)

An astonishing 11 medals in his first Olympics for Euroslavia! Amazing stuff.

Also noteworthy is Hack continuing to nip at the leaders' heels, once again picking up metal. The crowd loves to see old campaigners like Hack still able to take it up to the young pups.

But the real story is the complete dominance by Frisbeeteria, who came very close to performing more moderator actions than every other Game Mod put together. It's particularly remarkable given very strong performances by Katganistan and Euroslavia--this field was no push-over.

Since November 1, 2005, there were 99,903 Game Moderator actions, dealing with 13,183 requests for help by players. Once again, it's astonishing that this small group manage to do so much. They keep this game running.

Congratulations and well done mods!

If Chuck was a mod, he'd round house kick fris and anyone else who gets in his way ... And win the mod olympics 'cause he'd kick violet's head off if he didn't.

I hate expresso and dark chocolate, but I used to eat those things like... well... candy when I used to work at a Belgian restaurant that carried them. Those things are awesome. You have just made up for the fact that some of you haven't seen all of the Lord of the Rings. Thanks, Kat.

EDIT: (In a bored tone) Gratz, Fris, on winning... AGAIN.

You guys need to throw some tigers on the field or something because I'm getting tired of Fris winning all the time.
