Whoops thanks chap, and this is why I shoulsn't post late at night during my lunch break (usually [prefer to sleep through part of it)

I would very much love to create a race/parkour type challenge... I would build this on a custom creative world....

[Susan_Boyle]

I suggest the opening of an Olympic specific world on creative, where people can build their chosen events, with anyone wishing to build entering on here.

As King has appears to have taken control of this event I suggest we hold fire and allow him to create the world, so he can be in charge of dishing out the perms, if he wishes.

Ok sounds like a good idea. How much should be done in creative vs. survival?
Creative would make a lot of the events easier to hold, but it would be great to use some of the vacant arenas on survival.

[kingofturves]

I've identified about 10 to 16 different sporting events that we could currently hold. These could be held on either survival or creative.
Spleef, archery, athletics including sprinting at 100m, 500m, etc., 100m Hurdle, Long Jump, Shot Put, Boxing/wrestling, Fencing, Taekondo, Swimming, Diving, Downhill Canoe Slalom, Rowing, Wall Climbing, etc.

Yeeaahh... About the long jump... How will it work? In long jump, you can't run farther than a set distance and if you do, you get a lovely DQ on that jump. In MC, you can only jump a set distance, so you would have to run farther than the marker.

i can build an archery

We could have something to do with jungles like a Jungle climbing thing although there is no Jungles in the olympics

I'll put in red the ones I think we should include, as due to the similarities of some events, and the balanced physics of minecraft, some may be a bit too repetitive or pointless.

If you are considering doing shotput, then it will have to be on survival, as I am presuming players will have to throw items, and this is not possible at the moment due to drops being removed on creative, with the Q key not working at all.

[kingofturves]

Definately looks like we're gonna have a creative/survival split on this.

Shotput: (Survival) This event will require the use of Q and drops, therefore survival will have to be used.
Since we're all equal interms of strength.
I'm thinking of making this a skills based game, that involves throwing an item as close as
possible to a ringed target. Scoring points on the different rings. It is a bit of a cross between
bowls and darts.
Boxing/Wrestling: (Survival) This event will require PVP. A straight forward fist fight, no potions, weapons
or armour. PVP at its most basic, with fists. 1 opponent faces off against another in a
knockout tournament. Jumping allowed?
Fencing: (Survival) Similar rules to Boxing, no potions, extra weapons or armour. PVP using Wooden or
stone swords.
Archery: (May have to be Survival) I currently have MrKeveCool building an archery course on Creative,
but with drops being removed on contact. We may have to move this to Survival, as it would
require as marshall to record the arrows as soon as they land.
Basic archery course, with targets located a fixed distance away and competitors try to aim
3-5 arrows as close to the bulls eye as possible.

Spleef: (Either) Works well on either Creative or Survival. Probably will use Creative, as it gives more
reason to visit and use the Olympia world. Matches will be best of 3? Or we could use a tennis
scoring system?

Swimming: (Either) Speed course? Players race against each other to swim to the other side of a 50m
swimming pool, touch the side and swim back.

Downhill Canoe Slalom: (Survival?) The Question is whether or not boats work on Creative? If they do,
then this can be done on creative. It will be a down hill obstacle course based on
skill to boat through gates whilst avoiding damage to the boat.

Wall Climb: (Creative?) This one might favour creative, but could also be done on survival. A race off
between competitors, the first to reach the top, wins.

100m Hurdle: (Creative?) Could be done on either. Race involving jumping over block obstacles to get
to the finish.
Long Distance: (Either) I would like to make use of several different running events, but where the
distances are different, some shorter distances involving sprinting, but also a longer
endurance based event. Probably survival, to make use of the hunger system.
Running a number of kilometres with a set number of bread or melons, competitors must
run and manage their sprints, vs. hunger to finish as quickly as possible.

So thats 10 main events in total.

We could also make some variant 'dream' events on creative. Possibly ones that make use of flying, navigation, etc.
