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

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.

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

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!

Congratulations Fris, and to Euro as well.

I just hope some people that complain about the mods read this to see quite how much work they actually put into this game. Keep it up guys.

Yeah, we should start testing for caffeine!

Bah, why did you have to steal my best NSwiki sysop? *shakes fist* ;)

Congratulations, though!

Congratulations and well done to all the Mods. :)

Bored, who? me?

I still say he's using performance-enhancing substances...
Is undistilled cynicism now considered 'performance enhancing'? If so ....

So, when are we going to see the admin olympics? Now that there's three people (or at least, three identities) for the three positions.

Frisbeeteria doesn't type - he thinks, and nations DEAT. ¬.¬

Congrats (and thanks) to y'all. :)

Congratulations Fris, and to Euro as well.

;) Do I detect some sexism here?

woohoo! *clings desperatley to (stolen) wooden spoon*

go fris! (the rest of you lot rock too, of course... *cowers*)

Is undistilled cynicism now considered 'performance enhancing'? If so ....

...then I may want to switch from using nitrous in my engine to undistilled cynicism. :eek:

;) Do I detect some sexism here?
Er...nope...not at all... *ahem*

It's just Fris won, it was Euro's first Olympics, and 'guys' was an all encompassing term for the whole crazy bunch of you. :)

Yes...that sounds convincing...

So, Fris is better than Chuck Norris because...



:p



Well, somebody had to say it.

Well, somebody had to say it.

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.

*English Accent* Golly good ol' chaps. You make NS a safer place.

*looks at the list* Skuld's hammer! Do you mods even SLEEP?:eek:

Thanks for all the hard work and proving that, yes, you CAN herd the cats of NS.

*looks at the list* Skuld's hammer! Do you mods even SLEEP?:eek:

I have five words to say to you: dark chocolate-covered expresso beans.

Steph got her nation-killing Gold thanks to me anyway. I fed her hundreds. That woman was insatiable. :eek:

Wow, Euroslavia was only in one Olympics, and he's already 10th or 8th all time, depending on which ranking you use.

Well, I was hoping that no one would recognize me without my cloak, hat, and mask.

I do it my way, you do it your way:)
But you do get bonus points for willingy leaving first place.:p

I have five words to say to you: dark chocolate-covered expresso beans.

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.

maybe some sort of 3 points for a gold, 2 for a silver, 1 for a bronze and then list them by points order would be best. but by Fluff, i'm not gonna do it :p

Many thanks to all. Do any of you still have time to actually play the game?

Many thanks to all. Do any of you still have time to actually play the game?Yes and no. As a roleplayer, I'm far more limited by a fickle muse than actual time constraints.

Gah, I've gotta work harder. :)
