RULES AND INFO READ THIS BEFORE ASKING QUESTIONS

Sign ups will continue for a few days. Rosters will never be "set" members can join any team at any part of the competition, however a team having no members at the end of the signup period is disqualified as mentioned above and be unable to compete in the games! There are no limit to the amount of members that may be on a single team.

Once Signups are over minigames will start to appear in each of the final fantasy forums! There will be minigames posted throughout the forum for each team to compete in.

The game with the most points at the end of the olympics, is the overall winner of the olympics! Some games will have individual prizes however this will not be announced beforehand.

Can I signup for multiple teams?

No - you'll be competing for points for your specific team - it would get awkward if you won points for multiple teams at the same time! You can change teams any-time though! I'll edit that in the rules.

Aw man, but I don't want the good games to go playerless!

Also, update me onto FFIX. Also also, one week from yesterday is 23/09/2012 or, if your country is a spaz, 09/23/2012.

I'm probably going to extend disqualification from the start of the first minigame to a week after the start from the first minigame to get more members a chance to see this :)

FFIX WOOOO! :clo:

In a pretty shocking turn of events, FFVI doesn't have any members yet! :p

Alright everyone BIG ANNOUNCEMENT

This post is the announcement of the EVENT OUTLINE for our Olympic Games! :) Read up and prepare your body and mind!

There won't be any descriptions, your imagination can fill in what many of the events are! Also the timeline is a bit of an estimate! Some events may run over or under.

Simply because you didn't read the thread. It has two members, now. I'll edit them in for you.

whoops! :p

So many teams to choose... hmm

THE FIRST GAME OF THE FF OLYMPICS IS UP!

Ooh, exciting. I'd like to work with Bleys or krissy, but I also don't want some other great games to be without members. :( You can tentatively put me down for FFT.

Will do! You can swap teams at any time, but points you've garnered for your old team will not be transferred.

Can I jump on team ff6?

I am going to be out of town for next week, but I will do what I can.

I'll put you on that team. People shouldn't worry about time commitments, this event will have many events you can participate in, but no participation from someone will not hurt a team, unless he or she is the only member :P

Next minigame is up!

IS there a limit on team members for certain games cause I think I want IX but there are already a bunch on the team!

Frankly, I'm just doing this so I can trout talk.

FFIX has a commanding lead in terms of players, but FFX is the only one leading an event right now ;)

Another minigame is up. FFI, III, XI, and XII are flirting with elimination.

Ohhhhhh, so you can compete in any event? I thought you could only do the ones relating to your game. xD

Oh, Quin. :p As far as I can tell, the "sign ups" for each game are just convenient ways to make teams.

---

yeah- you might have to combine some teams so as to not eliminate them... maybe add 3,4, 5 & then 7&8 to get 2 more teams?

If teams want to merge they can have all members switch from one to another. I laid out the rules, how you all go about it is up to y'all! :)

EDIT: Also another minigame is up!

Something wrong with your link, dear.

I am super excited for the next mini game :hyper: almost done too!

When I click on the word "up" it takes me to the front site. The mini game is in FFV :p

Final Fantasy X takes an early lead thanks to Karifean!

I need to actually get involved in some events!

LET THE GAMES BEGIN

And may the odds be ever in your favour.

By sweeping the Chocobo Trial Runs, Final Fantasy X has given themselves a commanding lead!

Yeah, I'm calling it early, FFX have pretty much won

:choc::choc::choc::choc::choc::choc::choc::choc::choc:

We shall defend that #1 place!

This Olympic experience would be enhanced if there was an additional "Name that song" game.

It would be amazing! You could have snippets of song lyrics, and you would have to guess that, or for the majority of FF songs with no songs, have a 15 or 30 second sample of a song, and you would have to guess that.

If you want to see that so bad make the thread! Can't promise it will be part of the olympics, but everyone is free to post as they'd like here. If I saw tons of little name that song's, and who's that summons after this event I'd be so proud :bigsmile:

Anyone on Team FFIX know FFIV well? I don't know it as well as I know the others, so I'll probably miss some of the song names. I'd prefer someone else take over xD.

I could do the song lyrics fine, because I can just find them, however how would I go about making snippets of songs without giving the song title?

I want to see some updated scores! :o Poor old Final Fantasy VI isn't doing so well...

Agreed. Give us our 40 damn points! xD

EDIT: Plus the points Rantz got for the FFIX Jump Rope Challenge.

Hey I'm a busy man!

... and I accidentally put dyslexia'd your 8 points from the FFIX challenge onto XI instead of IX. All fixed! FFIX leap-frogs FFX! I see a rivalry between the teams forming!

Didn't we just get 30 points for the Gold Saucer event?

i wish there were more events I could partake in, although these olympics are a cool idea.

Patience young one!

FFX quickly retook its lead from the Gold Saucer event! And what's this? A NEW CHALLENGER APPEARS IN THE FORM OF TEAM DRAIN JOIN! Who is this mysterious lad! None shall know!
EDIT: And Team General Chat emerges taking the points from the FFXI event!

Team FFXIII jumps into third! As Team FFX and and IX stay neck-and-neck for first!

Not only are Team FFX kicking ass, they've also got one of the smaller teams. That's smurfing talent right there.

I love that they're all contributing like crazy contributory beasts.

Go team XIII!

Shame I can't really compete in any of the other games except for the "Name that esper" one

There are currently two competitions you could easily compete in with just a little research.

I've got no creativity, so the Class Jingle one is well out of my worthless hands. Though I might research on II, despite never playing the game :|

questions for you guys that are running this-

1) did you guys ever get events for FF 2, 6, 10-2, 13 or 13-2? or are there none?

2) What is the FFT event?

2 is up, more are on the way.

FFIX takes the lead by winning the Speed Run Challenge! FFVI places themselves a mere 10 points behind FFX, winning the silver medal of the Speed Run and the Gold of Killing Chaos first! Jiro is a man on a mission!

Woohoo! Awesome job Faris!

Faris was just ruthless with that speed run. Happy to have given FFVI a fighting chance. We might topple the giants yet, team!

I feel like this will be a close competition! Good luck teams! :3

The FFT competition is up. I expect great things. Since this isn't the census, you better not all disappoint me.

http://home.eyesonff.com/final-fanta...ml#post3143121

Yay! I won the XIII olympic game! Even with my terrible singing, I knew being the only one, it didn't really matter much!

I'm a double gold winner! I'm well surprised.

Final scores for FFIV name that song are in:

And the final scores:
FFV - 9 points
FFIX - 4 points
FFX - 10 points
FFVI - 9 point

smurfing close that one.

I swear I have two other team members with me in Team XIII. Where are they?

Apologies to Team FFIX. I lost interest in the FFIV after I didn't know any xD. 4 points ain't bad for someone who's never played it, though!

...right, guys? :(

Down to two events. Once those are wrapped up I will tally points and announce winners!

1 point is terrible for somebody who has played the game, however. :doublecolbert:

And Jiro takes the FFT writing contest by a land slide.

Because he was the only one to enter...

Here's what he submitted:

Quote:

The silence is the worst part. There is no peace while the battle rages. The clashing of swords, the arcane rustling of magic, the screams of dying men; all of these punctuate the air like thunderclaps. Once the last man lay dead, that unsettling calm consumes everything. The visions of those piles of bodies haunts me.

It is like a parasite, gnawing inside of me. We are meant to revel in combat, to thirst for the blood of our enemies. Seeking glory and mastery over oneself… these are the reasons we came to the Akademy. They said to me: “Knights are the most honourable men to walk this earth, Kennard.” I believed them too. If only I had known war would be like this, perhaps then I would have opted for the simpler life. The life of a farmer, toiling the land from sunrise to sunset, with nary a care in the world. No death. No destruction. Instead now I nurse wounds caused by blade and black magic alike, fearful of my own death while I dispense death unto others. We may march toward victory but I fear no fanfare will ever dispel the demons in my mind.

Lord Ramza shares my disdain for battle. I know it to be true. It is etched into every line on his face. He has no love for death, seeks no glory in battle. Yet he fights onwards, as if possessed by some sense of duty or divine purpose. He chooses words over weapons wherever it avails him; he does not seek to stain his hands with the blood of others. Unlike myself, he has no thoughts of flight, no delusions of an easier life. He has chosen his path and will walk it to the bitter end. There is a fire inside of him, granting him the strength to do what must be done. He strides forward, full of determination, and we follow loyally. Perhaps he himself has some arcane power. Would I have followed another man this far? I cannot say for certain, but know this: Lord Ramza is a true hero.

---

Darn it I wanted Raistlin to submit something. Oh well, there's your flash fiction.

I really wanted to submit something for that one but I had to focus on something else :/

does that mean jiro gets all 3 medals?

Pretty sure it means Silver and Bronze go to Team GC. Nice try, though. xD

How is the point tally looking? :3

Not updating it until the triple triad event is fully over for DRAMATIC REVELATIONS!

!

The suspense! It kills!

Triple Triad results are in: http://home.eyesonff.com/final-fanta...ml#post3152395

That's the final event! Will tally and verify all points when I am out of work tonight!

Tallying points now!

EDIT THE FINAL POINT TALLY! TEAM FFVI WINS!

1. Final Fantasy VI ………………………..162
2. Final Fantasy X …………………………142
3. Final Fantasy IX ………………………..119
4. Final Fantasy XIII ………………………80
5. Team General Chat ……………………20
6. Team DRAIN JOIN…………………….10
7. Final Fantasy V ………………………….9
8. Final Fantasy IV ………………………..4
9. All the rest .............................0

Excellent showing by Jiro and his teammates. Jiro definitely the MVP of his team however!
Shoutout to Karifean, who's final victory in the last card game moved his team into second place. That's right, second place came down to the final event.
Excellent showing by team Final Fantasy IX, who just got beat by team FFX
Lastly, good job to Formalhaut, who single handedly represented team FFXIII pro

THAT'S RIGHT PUNKS, FF6 is the best!

Jiro is the hero.


Where are you now team ff9? 43 points MO'SUCKA's.



p.s. we need to get gold medals to our profiles or something.

Hot damn, are you kidding me? We're the winners! I'm incredibly chuffed with the effort invested by my team. It was a brutal stretch but a win's a win. The other teams were phenomenal, and I didn't think we ever stood a chance of catching teams FFX and FFIX. They came out of the blocks like maniacs and never looked back. Amazed we roped them back in.

And yeah I have to say well done to Formalhaut who has the most individual points out of the entire thing. Team FFXIII wins the weighted trophy for average points per team members.

Yeah, FFIV didn't leave empty-handed. Mission complete.

Jiro was Olympic MVP. Best player on the Best team. Boom.

Indeed, well played to Jiro. :3

FFX possibly could have stood a chance at winning if I ever could have been assed to actually do any of the tasks that required me to actually do things. But ah well, laziness prevails~

Congrats to team FFVI, thanks to my team for working so hard, and thanks to all the staff who set this up! It was good fun. :D

Congratulations to team FF VI! We probably could've made it to first, but hey, second place is nothing to be ashamed about. It was awesome to compete in these events and I hope we'll be doing it again someday. Maybe then I'll take part in more of the creative contests.
Does anyone of the staff happen to have a chart of all the results for all the events?

I'm sorry, team. I did my best.

Sometimes. :shifty:

^ :twak:

Congrats team FFVI. You did an awesome job Jiro :D

Jiro really went balls out with some of these events. He was the only person I thought would be willing to do the essay writing events, so I feel proud for totally calling that. :D

Good job, the lot of you. Especially Karifean for his Triple Triad dominance. And you thought you wouldn't do well. ;)
