dcro 10,210 Posted April 21, 2020 #1722 Share Posted April 21, 2020 What about "town planning" competition, too? It's the only event which brought Monaco an Olympic medal. Olympian1010 1 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcro 10,210 Posted April 21, 2020 #1727 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Well, since it very much looks as though we will not see any sports competitions this summer (except maybe some national leagues), I wouldn't be against the idea of using would-be Olympic dates for some forum competitions. Only instead of having something every day, how about just having some 3-5 events in total during those 16 days? It can all start with Festival of Music Grand Final Saturday (Olympic Day 1), and then continue into the next couple of weeks with something else. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, we all know how serious we should take the IOC I'll listen to what actual experts such as @Dragon say. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heywoodu 15,141 Posted April 21, 2020 #1729 Share Posted April 21, 2020 As for 'forum competitions': I have absolutely zero inspiration in terms of what we could do, but I'm down for whatever you guys come up with Olympian1010 1 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werloc 3,164 Posted April 30, 2020 #1730 Share Posted April 30, 2020 I think the fact that nobody touched this at all for over 9 days is a pretty good indication that we don't need to rush into another contest. It was just the annual post-contest hype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
