Inaugural OT Olympics - OP updated 7/18/13 with scores and 2nd challenge info

[QUOTE="jimkabrhel"]

[QUOTE="Laihendi"] This is not up for a vote. The OT Olympics would not exist if I had not made them. Therefore it is my right to host if I choose to (and I do).Laihendi

What you say doesn't prevent anyone else from running and OT Olympics. You may have ownership of this one, but you have no monopoly, so don't act like you have one.

So.........................What/when's the first event?

Back to game ideas. Scrabble could be a good first event. Easy and people can play on their own time. dave123321

Would be fun if it was OT v SW at the end. Do a separate series of competitions for each, decide an "Olympian" (or multiple, if you wanted to do team games at the end) for each board, then they would compete at the end to see what board truly is "supreme." If anything, it would make this a whole lot more interesting. Might take a bit longer though. LZ71

[QUOTE="Zuzuvela"][QUOTE="dave123321"] That's unfortunateLaihendi

lai i'm impressed.

i'd sign up but i have a very limited skill set out side of engineering and platonic theory.

It's like I'm really on TDH!

Too bad I' m leaving on vacation in a week and will most likely miss the OT Olympics. It' s a very promising event.

Here is the information on the first challenge (it is also posted in the OP)

INFORMATION FOR FIRST CHALLENGE:

The first challenge is to write a journal entry from the perspective of LJS. That means you are going to write it in his posting style and make him say whatever you want it to say. You should make the entry about something you would find it amusing to read LJS's thoughts on. It should be remembered that an important aspect of his posting style is the inclusion of absurdly excessive and misused ellipses. Also you should keep in mind that you have complete control on what his thoughts wil be in this journal entry. Potential subjects include LJS's secret thoughts about users here, or perhaps a documentation of his trip to visit in-laws whom he dislikes. Also nothing that violates the ToS is allowed.

The journal entries must be sent to me in a private message by no later than Monday, July 15, 11:59 PM EST.

There is no maximum or minimum word limitLaihendi

will the winner's or top contender's work be made public at any point?

I hope LJS enters the first challenge now. Be even better if he ends up losing it.
