Yeah, I’m going need something a bit more mainstream and realistic than that “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Olympian1010 7,470 Posted April 20, 2020 Author #35 Share Posted April 20, 2020 I’m going to just throw this out here, and see what people’s opinions are... So obviously there’s no Olympic this summer. There’s most likely very little international sports this summer. Plus, there’s the probably there’ll be many us stuck at home voluntarily or ordered to. So I can (attempt) to offer the following alternatives: As some of you know, I like to build mock Olympic Parks and Venues in the video game Minecraft. I’ve hours in the game recreating sports, building venues, etc. I would be down to host a virtual form of Olympics (called the Summer Games so the IOC doesn’t chop my head off) with either one of two possibilities - The first is that I would some of you, or other interested players on to the my servers, and we’d just compete amongst ourselves. The second is a little more complex and silly. I’ve been figuring out how to have a “playerless” Summer Games for a while now, and so I’ve come up with ways to have NPCs (non-playable characters) compete in events. I could host the games this way as well, and the NPCs could represent countries with members on Totallympics. Both of these options would come complete with full “live” streaming, results pages, schedule of events, medal tables, games logo, games mascots, etc. I’ve been looking for ways for myself and @Vojthas to get some commentary practice, and I think this would be a fun way to. I welcome everyone’s opinion to this. I will say that I will not bother with any of this unless some interest is shown from the community. mrv86 1 “Sport has the power to change the world.

I have no idea how it works but if you manage to make either option a possibility then I am onboard. I like the idea of the second option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the kind of stupid, crazy, weird fun that seems to well on the internet (a la marble racing). And like I said, it gives some community members a chance to try some things they’ve wanted to. Just further clarify, should I go for option 2, would you prefer the “athletes” represent Totallympics nations, or be divided by colors available in Minecraft (16 teams). “Sport has the power to change the world.

Probably representing nations would be a bit more fun to watch. Olympian1010 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
