Chairman of the Bank Posts: 12,339 Group: Veterans Member #164 Joined: July 15, 2005	We have two major events going on with this forum right now, as most of you know. The upcoming Olympics, which start the same day as the RL olympics, and then the less-obvious but very much palpable cold war between the world and the World Military Dominion. There are those of us who want to get the war started and those of us who want to put it off until everything is more polarized (like Asia is right now). So here is my question. Shall we start the events concurrently (with the IC assumption that the war took place afterwards) or shall we do them consecutively? Please vote quickly. P.S.- And before anyone asks, we aren't cancelling the Olympiad or pushing it after the war.

In that case I'll vote for doing it concurrently... Edited by Porcu, Aug 5 2008, 11:22 PM.

I myself am not ready for the war to happen, but I'm fine RPing the events leading up to it (like I have been so far). I still have a few things personally I need to get ready or out of the way, and I'm sure others do too. The Olympics should provide enough time for people to do what they need to do to get ready for the war.

Now, you could have a little something that hints that world peace is about to be shattered while the Olympics are taking place and have things take off from there once the games are completed.

Hungary/Russian water polo match! We can have fights at the games! It's too close to the start of the olympics to cancel now anyway!

I encourage other foreign agencies to try something too (though clear it with me before hand), or perhaps start a brawl or something. Said person may never see the light of day again, but atleast they'd illustrate the point...
