I have zero concern about action being taken against us, if anything it would be DMCA takedown first, requiring us to change the name.

As for building an area for the games, I was more thinking that individual realms could host the games within their realm. Move the games around yeah period we have them, like the real Olympics. The name of the games matters very little to anyone I'd imagine, so the MineRealm Games or something would be sufficient.

Great to see enthusiasm from everyone. It would be great if a few people could take some of the ideas and build a proof of concept to make sure it's fun and could work as a competitive game.

Instead of MineRealm games why not something like MR Challenges or something :X lol

I agree, except spawning pig saddles and the warp bothers me... :I

i agree these are the most annoying factors of the games. also i think that asking any one realm to host the games would be a MUCH to big task for them. it would have to be hosted in only the biggest realms and even they would need a lot of time to prepare. i feel it would work much better to have some massive reconfigurable arena.

it would need to be in the wilderness because no private realm would really want to make it public for these games.

be cool to have a massive arena with lava pools, fire and bases. much like the LBG arena. it could be split into different complexes for different events, and be held every 4 weeks... (new idea! minerealm snow sports! its a joke, i cant think of anything u can do at snow u cant do elsewhere in minecraft... other than SNOWBALL FIGHTS).

we'll come up with a catchier name at some point

RealmGames, thats the first thought out of the way.

Now, for a more serious reply... I echo Sharingan616's concerns. The warp would take time to create, and the building would need to be finished beforehand. Spawning saddles is extreme, somewhat against what the servers intentions are, and above all, totally unneccasary. It isn't hard to make some saddles and distibute them before the competition.

My own concern, however, is that while the idea is interesting, its somewhat too soon. Realm Wars is still being developed, and until that is finished and running for awhile, I don't think more ideas should be implemented.

Only one individual from each realm should only be allowed to participate in such events.

Yes? yes? GLORY FOR ONES REALM!

I really like the thoughts of these games! It would be a great thing to do! Though it might be hard if two realms are fighting in war and meet up at the arena, that would be bad. So maybe all realms that are taking part should have a time of peace until the games are over, just like the Olympics used to be like (in the first days of the real Olympcis).

I think we should organize an Olympic games for MineRealm. We need to develop a set of events and determine the frequency of said games. It would seem like a bi-weekly or monthly schedule would be best. There are several realms with stadiums capable of supporting the games, LBG arenas and the like. I would say each realm could send 2 competitors for each event.

Each participating realm should develop a flag and a 3 character abbreviated name for match labeling.

Event Ideas (try for ones not subject to lag), not all have to be really competitive, i.e. pig race is total random:

Boxing
Archery
Chicken Soccer
Boat Race, maybe an outdoor course? down some rapids, etc?
LBG
Pig Race
Swimming, multiple laps, could have redstone circuit at end swimmer would have to press before turning around and at the end.

Location Bidding & Financing:
Each realm who wanted to host a games would bid for the chance to be the host. Host would be determined by the bid amount and by the most recent games in their general region, generally we would try and move the games around a lot. A location would be subject to inspection to ensure they have adequate room to host the games and realm staff to manage the audience. The host realm would be entitled to 50% of the proceeds from ticket sales to the games, prices to be determined later, and the remainder would go to the Olympic agency from which prizes would be handed out.

Prizes (subjet to change):
To be subject to full prize amounts, a minimum number of players would be required for said event, say 8 players minimum.
1st Place: 8 Diamond
2nd Place: 4 Diamond
3rd Place: 2 Diamond

Some other suggestions is:

1.What you can build with like a stack of cobble a stack of smooth and a stack of woodor Etc. This could be judged by mods or admins not competing in the games.
2. How fast you can find a diamond ore using their mining techniques.
3. The coolest gadget you can build with redstone in an area. Not certain, but trying to suggest.

I like your idea Magerman.

I like #1.
#2 may take a long time.
#3 would have to be limited to size and time because I't took me a full day to get my bank working...

but I still like it.

What about a PVP portion? The only problem with this is of course, Lightbulbs :lol:
