Word on the street was that this could be the worst Game Mod Olympics ever. "Pff," people said. "Game Mod Olympics? You mean the Frisbeeteria Olympics. Who wants to pay good money to watch Fris belt the living crap out of whoever comes near? If I wanted to see an uncompetitive mismatch between grossly mismatched opponents, I'd stay at home and beat my children."

Certainly Frisbeeteria's dominance of recent Mod Olympics (http://forums2.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=477352) was indisputable. Despite brave showings from the other athletes, in particular Katganistan, Frisbeeteria had run rampant, finishing some events running backwards, just to show off. And the less said about the buttocks-wiggling incident, the better.

To avoid the ugly sight of empty stadiums on international TV, organizers herded the city's homeless inside, prompting some commentators to remark that this was surely the least fragrant Games of all time. By the time the moderators emerged, large sections of the crowd were asleep, facing the wrong way, or accusing each other of stealing.

Those few in the crowd who were actually there for the performances noticed Katganistan was wearing a sleek black head-to-toe bodysuit, complete with little wiggly cat ears. Some believed that this was the latest in aerodynamic sports engineering, while others said, "I dunno, man... I just think she's really into cats."

But now the time has come! As per tradition, first up is the UN events:

--- UN Warnings Issued ---
203 : Frisbeeteria
130 : Katganistan
45 : Euroslavia
6 : Reploid Productions
4 : Scolopendra
2 : SalusaSecondus

The crowd yawns as one, as Frisbeeteria smashes them in "UN Cheat Checks," flattens them in "UN Ejections," crushes all comers in "UN Warnings Issued," and misses gold in "UN Proposals Removed" only because he stops to sign autographs! Yes, clearly it's going to be another one of those days. While Frisbeeteria begins to audibly speculate on where exactly he's going to find room for yet another trophy, patrons begin to talk amongst themselves, wondering whether it might be possible to sell their tickets for the other events, what might be on TV, and how likely they are to get out of the stadium with their wallets.

Frisbeeteria: 3 gold, 1 silver
The Most Glorious Hack: 1 gold
Katganistan: 3 silver
Euroslavia: 4 bronze

Then it's on to the Life & Death events! Amnesty International calls it "a monsterous travesty against all humanity," but you can't argue with the ratings!

As officials began lifting the fallen bodies into sacks and carrying them off the field, Frisbeeteria pumps his fists in victory. But is his bravado for real? Spectators can't help noticing that in "Nations Restored," Katganistan not only beat him, but did so resoundingly. As Frisbeeteria nervously eyes Katganistan's little cat ears, which are fluttering delightfully in the breeze, the word starts to go out: we may have a contest here.

Frisbeeteria: 4 gold, 2 silver
Katganistan: 1 gold, 4 silver
The Most Glorious Hack: 1 gold
Euroslavia: 6 bronze

Let's find out!

Everyone but Sirocco gets confused about when the "Issues" event is meant to start, and as a result he sweeps it. Frisbeeteria, looking noticably sharper and more focused, cleans up in "Telegrams Sent," but is pipped by Katganistan in "Warnings Issued" by the barest of margins!

Meanwhile Euroslavia picks up his eighth bronze medal, a remarkable achievement, and one that causes commentators to flick through the record books, looking for the most medals ever won by a competitor who failed to score higher than bronze.

Frisbeeteria: 5 gold, 3 silver
Katganistan: 2 gold, 5 silver
The Most Glorious Hack: 1 gold
Sirocco: 1 gold
Euroslavia: 8 bronze

We're at the pointy end now, with just the Watchlist, Help Requests, and Overall events left!

Katganistan flies home in all three! This is extraordinary! With only a single event remaining, Frisbeeteria and Katganistan each have five gold medals! The final event will decide the winner!

Frisbeeteria: 5 gold, 6 silver
Katganistan: 5 gold, 5 silver
The Most Glorious Hack: 1 gold
Sirocco: 1 gold
Euroslavia: 10 bronze
GMC Military Arms: 1 bronze

Spectators who sold their tickets now frantically try to buy them back, at grossly inflated prices. The eyes of the world turn to watch: is this the moment that Frisbeeteria is finally unseated?

No! It's not! In an inspiring contest, Frisbeeteria beats Katganistan for the final gold! And that means he once again wins the Games! It was the result everyone expected, but, in a complete surprise, by only the barest of margins.

All credit to Katganistan, who breathed new life into the competition and came agonizingly close to walking away with the ultimate prize. The crowd stand to applaud both her and Frisbeeteria. And there's a special cheer for crowd favorite Euroslavia, who's claimed a record-breaking, jaw-dropping 11 bronze medals.

Frisbeeteria: 6 gold, 6 silver (last time: 10-1-0)
Katganistan: 5 gold, 6 silver (2-7-2)
The Most Glorious Hack: 1 gold (0-1-0)
Sirocco: 1 gold (1-0-0)
Euroslavia: 11 bronze (0-3-8)
GMC Military Arms: 1 bronze (0-0-1)

It's been almost five months since the last Game Mod Olympics, during which time 83,213 moderator actions were made and 11,026 help requests from players processed. The fact that the mods do this day after day and year after year shouldn't take away from the fact that they are truly amazing numbers.

Congratulations and thank you to all mods!

Yay! I will say that this was far more interesting than the last RL Olympics... and I love the commentary!

http://deephousepage.com/smilies/dueling.gif
Go KAT! you gave Fris a run for his money!

*goes and buys Tickets for next Mod Olympics*

Edit. I meant the last Real Life Olympics... not the last Mod Olympics. http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/9604/eusashifty9zv.gif

Gee Fris wins again, what a surprise.:p Congratulations and keep up the good work.

RAWR! That was amazing. I'm beginning to see a trend here. Are we sure Fris isn't using performance-enhancers? :p

RAWR! That was amazing. I'm beginning to see a trend here. Are we sure Fris isn't using performance-enhancers? :p

I call on the Mod Olympics Commitee to test Fris for performance-enhancers!


for all seriousness though. Great job guys. It got close there near the end, but Fris won it in the end.

*plots to distract Fris*

Go Kat!! :)

Congrats, Fris. Just wait till I get broadband!

Of course then I'll have no excuse for coming in second. ;)

*takes back the Enodian Cup*

Gimmie that back.

*takes back the Enodian Cup*

There, but for the grace of five more pieces of crap legislation, go I.

I notice that Kat had the edge in all the warm, caring, helping, nurturing, kind events (well, giving someone a warning so they'll stop before they get into really big trouble is kinda kind, isn't it?).

Now I'm trying to think of a comment that doesn't (a) perpetuate sexist stereotypes, (b) suggest that Fris is cruel, hard and unfeeling and (c) generally get me offside with everyone.

I wish I hadn't noticed that.

Frisbeteeria's smashing victory comes as no surprise here in La Republica, but many fans of Melkor were disappointed to the point that the National Registry of National Health Care Concerns has petitioned to hospitalize Melkor and see just wth is wrong with him because we lost a lot of money on him this time and ACK HELP, MAFIA

Rumors are circulating that the Ninja Mod has been off on hiatus for secret training to learn the ultimate zen master moderator techniques and may soon return to the world of competitive modding....

;)

Damnit! You had me going till the last moment to see if Kat beat Fris.

Oh well, the question I asked last time still stands, at 83,213 moderator actions, do you guys do anything else? ;)

Jeez, is it five months since the last round?
*shakes head bemusedly*

Ah well, good work guys.

Congrats, Mods. :fluffle:s for all of the participants.

Did the GM job for three months. Never qualified for the Olympics. It's all too commercial now, you can't make it unless you get the sponsorship. :(

Wow! Great job mods! Congrats to Fris/Kat, and those 11 bronzes for Euro :eek:

Dang, good work mods. Thanks for keepin' this game goin'!!!

Close one

I bet if sirocco had headbutted euroslavia in the 110th minute things would have turned out differently.

Ye Gods, Fris, no wonder you left UNOG if this is what you've been saving your energy for. And still Kat nearly pips you!

Those stats don't say it all, HC. Sure, Enodia only got one gold during all his time, but he won it with more proposals deleted than just about all the other mods combined. Plus he only competed in one Mod Olympics.

Yeah, I think a couple of the oldest Olympics (from before they were called such... the very first was themed after the Academy Awards if memory serves) have been lost to the forum demons =< Which sucks, because I know I dominated a couple of the early ones.

EDIT: Hey, I think I did find one of the forgotten Olympics!

I only used the topics linked by [Violet] for the ranking, if those weren't linked to in the first post they aren't in the ranking.

Enn: I know, but now we can see the mods we have to look out for:p

Since I move my lips when I read I am now stuck with the phrase Gay Mod Olympics (instead of Game Mod Olympics) stuck in my head. I blame Violet for this. Congrats Fris! Im putting my money on Kat by a whisker in the next Olympiad though.
