We are pleased to announce Canada will be participating in the Wysterian Summer Games set to be held in August this year.

I will be reporting the game results back here, and Devil Heart's Rose from Devil Heart will be attending.
The following nations (or similar) will also be attending:
Almonaster Nuevo
Wild Mustangs
Goose-ada

There is still time for other Canadian nations to choose to attend. :D

If you are interested, but would like to know more, here is a link to links that will tell you more:

Wysterian Games notification Canada

Herzil
 
Sign Ups will start on the 11th of July and will be closed on the 24th


Summer Games Opening Ceremony will be on the 29th - to those who didn't participate in the Medieval Games, that means that You and your region nations will be encouraged to travel to Wysteria on the 28th or 29th -  the nations will get upon arrival a Greeting Letter announcing the Games and other info.






And here is the table of events:

Note there is an important entry difference to the Spring Game requirements.
For the summer games it is important every category has an entrant.
Herzil
 
In Order to prevent issues, every nation will have to send a full athlete list meaning athletes + teams for every game in the Summer Games.

I'm confused by the pentathlon. That's usually one athlete competing in 5 disciplines. You seem to have it listed as 5 separate events...?

@Al, in answer to your very good question:
Herzil
 
According to Real life MP, athletes get points for everyone of the 5 games and then when combining the scores, it should give us top 3 winners.

And:
Herzil
 
Each nation will have to submit a full list of athletes for each of the games.
That means:

11 Games that require 1 name each - First & Family Name. For Example Mary Goldsmith.

3 Games that require a Team Name each. For Example a nation can send for The Love boat race
Either a brand name like "The Stroop” or they can send “Mr & Mrs Grayson” as an husband and wife who wish to race it.


So I reckon a different athlete for each pentathlon event .
But perhaps I had best re-check that.

There is more to think about, I will get back to you all on this.

For now, remember:

Sign Ups will start on the 11th of July and will be closed on the 24th

Games will Start on the 30th

Send one athlete only for the Pentathlon Event, not 5
Herzil
 
Nation will have to send just One Athlete for the Entire Modern Pentathlon Event (instead of 5)
That puts us at 7 Individual Athletes & 3 Teams





Judges for the Summer Games
We are looking for eight judges for the games, and it is up to we nations to come up with some possible contenders.
For inspiration, here are the judges that were in attendance at the Medieval Spring Games:
http://z1.invisionfree.com/Wysterian_Forum...?showtopic=7844
So go ahead, look at your nation and see if there is anyone with judge-worthy potential, then post a personality profile, and if you can, a portrait of them below.




Marketing Opportunity for your nation
I am excited to inform, your nation will be able to place advertisements at the Summer games.
So get those creative juices flowing! Here are some Advert Generator links that should help your nation's Marketing gurus pick up this never to be repeated opportunity, and get your corporate messages out into the wider NS world:

Further to the above, I have just received this TG from Herzil:

Quote:
 
Hi Devil Heart

I have opened a new topic for the Advertising addition that we will be implementing in the games - with instruction of what is needed and how to post

the link is here: http://z1.invisionfree.com/Wysterian_Forum...?showtopic=7891

It will require nations to register to Wysteria forum (but if they will take part in the games they will have to register anyway to post at the observers seats)

For the judges, we would support the re-selection of Mariko Santarosa.

Posted Image

Ms Santarosa has had a very varied career. When starting out as a pop idol in the late 1980s, she had already gained a degree in mathematics and theoretical physics. She went on to become a major player in the Open Learning movement, and spent 8 years in politics serving as a regional representative for Herado, while controversially continuing to work in the pop/fashion industry. She is currently active as the scientific director of Skybus conglomerate.

(Thanks to Herzil for finding the piccie.)

I have requested Mariko Santarosa be appointed to the Summer Games, should it please the committee - I am a little concerned the decisions have already been made - I want to apologise to Almonaster for not being quicker on the uptake in making this request.




Well, the sign up date is getting closer, July 11th is the currently cited date.

Additionally, expectations no longer include nations having to write comments at the Observers Seat.

So I encourage as many Canadian nations as are keen to simply get a team of their best athletes together and post which athlete is to perform in which event - nothing else is required - you could win a medal!

Yo don't have to make advertisements either!

Top Team!

Yes, here is fine I think.

To be honest I'm not sure - but I think they are supposed to be taken across once we have everyone together?

Don't feel like checking right now - but I will later and let you know if there is anything more you need do at this time.

I don't think the official sign-up process has started yet, but there's no harm in being ahead of the game. The more entries we have, the better the chance of Canadian medals. It's only a few names folks, let's get a good turnout.

If it works the way it did last time, we can sign up here and have Mattie post the full list at the other end.



Sprint: Jinsokuna Gonzales
Steeple Chase: Sentou Correr
Love boat races: Pato & Pata Daisuki
Kayak: Nureta Chalupa
Rum Barrel ride: Mizuni di Safiador
Synchronized diving: Marco & Enzo Paraguas
Boxing: Scoso Penya
Gymnastics: Simbrenia Amiga
Pentathlon: Jozou Gobou
Ball: Salon Shakou

:rockon: ^

And, you don't have to visit Wysteria and post in the games if you don't want to.

Al is correct, a list of names against events is all you will need to be involved and win for Canada!

Here are the judges:

Posted Image

Judge Santarosa is of course our choice.

Quote:
 
Judge Santarosa Opened the tournament when instead of using a shotgun, made a squeaky voice that shocked half the guests & made Judge Nyrph look very unhappy.


Another interesting development:
The Colony of Picos Elissa de los Tres Valles
 
So if we will have to weight those who can be bribed vs those who can't it might be:

Judges: Nyrph, Mariko Santarosa & Hyacinth Aciditéi on the one Honest side VS Judges: Mortimer G. Hornsnapple III & Garfield "Rio Grande" Roger on the bribery side.

Canadian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Matilda Love of Devil Heart was also among the competitors today.
She was able to score a nice 9:18 seconds with Cara Jane from Wild Mustangs, landing both A pass to the second round.

Final Results for the Sprint

Posted Image

Herzil
 
Matilda Love from Devil Heart, decided to continue with “upgrading” her time records, going from 9:18 in the 1st round to 9:25 in the 2nd , to landing 10:49sec in the last round.
This is an extreme disappointment for an athlete that was once named “The Gazelle”

Yeah - I've seen 'em. I'm ambassador there after all. :lol: I was just prompting for some business as usual despite the rude people camping on our lawn. It's not urgent - have a cuppa, then post when you feel like it. :hug:
