Lol. I'm talking about my crappy Microsoft Word Press formatted blog. But yes, big American Football guy here, time to grow the game!
Hey, blog’s a blog. We all have to start somewhere. Totallympics Media wasn’t even a thing this time last year. Me and @Vojthas had just begun planning our first podcast episode around this time last year.
Well in terms of American Football fans around here, you have @Monzanator and then @bmo (who runs a college football publication I believe). Myself and bmo are both Lions fans. I can’t remember who Monzanator cheers for.

You're now best friends forever with @Olympian1010, who'll wake up in the middle of the night to watch the South Pacific Youth Water Sports Games
Welcome!
Are you calling Totallympics Media crappy?
Where’s that “how dare you button” when I actually need it. We’re already acquainted from Twitter by the way. We’ve had some really fun discussions about international sports, and (more importantly for @bmo) American Football.

My name is John. I stumbled across this site from a friend over on twitter, and this seems quite exciting. I have a pretty crappy blog that I like to use to write about multi-sport games, so this is cool. Look forward to chatting with you all.
Hey John! Nice to see you here.

We already have one Matt here and I'm sure he will greet you once he wakes up (he's from the land where it never rains - but it pours, man, it pours), so let's just stay with Matej I'm sure this is the right place for you. Enjoy!

But we never call Matt Matt here so I'm sure Matt won't mind if we call Matej Matt, right Matt?
There’s actually three Matt’s thinking about it
We’re forming a Matt based Olympic forum hierarchy

I made it a bit smaller, and added the offline grey symbol.
This is what it looks like for me now, and I really like. The green outline is subtle enough to not be completely noticeable, but also really helpful in identifying who’s online right now.

Online users now have a green circle before their username:
Not sure if I like. I’ll get used to it over time of course, but it ruins the visual look a little in my opinion. Maybe it would look better in a lighter shade of green, and if it were smaller?

So you're a racist colonial lover who is also against apartheid and such. Now that's a difficult combination to juggle around, rather hypocritical indeed
To be honest, at first I was like “I’m just gong to choose some over the top name”, but then it turned into “who do I want to be name after.”

Sory but its imposible to have two of you, a dead duel will decide who continue here and who not.....
Nah, I’m easy going, he can be Matt. From now on, I’ll shall be addressed as Xavier Cornelius Hypocrites Napoleon Leonidas Voltaire Mandela Coubertin the Third.

To be fair, one of the main fun things about these events is to see 'nations' (or entities, whatever you want to call it) compete which you normally don't see in the big world championships and Olympics.
Right, but that’s what the Island Games are for...
I think the Pacific Games should be reserved for Oceanic countries, free association territories, or dependencies which are self-governing and part of another country.

Yeah they can't actually display the flags because they're wholly unofficial. All the same they are represented by the unofficial flags most places online, including NORCECA, Wikipedia results and even Apple emojis.
I agree it's weird for them to compete as they're basically like what Hawaii is to the US. Then again we might start to see Hawaii in the Pacific Games so...
Yeah, Hawaii definitely shouldn’t be competing because it’s a whole ass state, but I’ll let the PGC do what they want.

Very true, but each department has an unofficial flag used for sporting events. Martinique's council adopted this new one (and a territorial anthem too!) It used to be the snake flag.
Interesting, they used the French flag when they competed in Barranquilla. I wonder if they’ll switch over now? I’m not really in favor of them completing since their actually a full part of the French Republic, but whatever.

EDIT: Actually @Sindo they don't use any flag besides French. The one I'd linked before is dubious too. So maybe we could just turn ":MAF" into the French flag for now.
Well technically their flag is the French tricolor. There are a full part (department/state/province/prefecture (don’t know the nomenclature here)) of the French Republic.

You don't need HTML in Wiki, just learn from their tutorials. Or I'd say that you just use your sandbox for experimenting, try copyediting, before making an article from scratch.
Yeah I did a little bit of that a few years when I was bored in high school. I did a few pages, but the only I remember now is the 2013 Summer Universiade results for the K1 or C1 200m.
