GoN Olympics - interest?

[Tera]

So the "GoN is Changing" thread got my thinking that we haven't had a community event based around actual gaming in a long while.

I remember the good old days of Admins vs. Randoms in BF2 and the Starcraft II comp a while back was a great success.

What I'm thinking is organising an "Olympics" of sorts where we all pick/get drafted into teams (Games on Red / Games on Blue) and then compete across a range of games.

After the games are over the teams are issues points/medals that add to an overall leader board and when the Olypics is over one team reigns supreme!

My initial thinking is something along the lines of;

CSS
TF2
BF3
DoD:S
SCII
CoD4
Dirt 1/2/3 depending on which the majority has
C&C RA2/Generals depending on majority
Live For Speed
Quake Live
Soldat
League of Legends

...and basically whatever else can get enough numbers for the make it a legitimate competition.

This thread is just to gauge interest in the idea, if there's a decent number of people wanting to join in then I'll pursue it further.

[Da Chucky]

I endorse this product and or service. Sounds like it could be fun.

[Mearehear]

Sounds great if it's a list of games like that, which are commonly owned. I'd have some fun and take part for sure

[lucassot]

You have me interested! Should be lots of fun.

[GoToadGo]

I'm surprised we don't have more actual gaming events to be honest. We have servers right there for the using for every popular game. Count me in for TF2(only game I'm even remotely competent with).

[Artful-dodgeR]

Hells yeah I'd be up for some of that.

[revengous]

I'll join the special gonlympics

[Village idiot]

Sounds like a great idea. Id love to have another go of DoD with a god group of people - I used to play that game non stop when it came out and loved it. Wonder what its like now?

Ill be in for anything that i own, that being:
CSS
DoD:S
BF3
TF2 (although i will just be free kills)

[Bek]

Sounds good, even though I own most of the games there bf3 is probably the only one I play now and then

There were people keen for STALKER games before, but it never took off. Maybe if it was part of something larger..?

[Anon. E. Moose]

Keen.

[Slazza]

Keen.

[Matty]

I am so in. Though ima suck at everything aside from maybe TF2.

[DoHo_]

I can probably join for TF2, DoDS, CSS.

[skitzor]

sounds great!

the SC2 tournament used challonge to assist with placing, brackets and scoring. if you were looking for something like that.

I also wouldn't mind giving you a hand if you want some help.

[Sathias]

I'd probably give that a go for everything apart from SC2
