2012 BASTARD OLYMPICS PRIMER ------------------------------------------------- When I threw open the 2012 Bastard Olympics to all feds, I really had no clue that there would be so many people interested. Now that I am preparing for that very Olympic show, I figured now would be a good time to create a primer. Obviously, not everybody reads or follows the MBC. Like any federation, we’ve got our own set of quirks and history that outsiders are going to be clueless on. I’m going to make the show as accessible to the “general public” as possible but the Olympics will be a part of a regular MBC show. This primer will answer some questions you may have (I hope).. ONE - THAT WHOLE MBC THING.. ------------------------------------------------------------ The key thing is that the Olympics will be a part of a regular MBC show. Why bother generating interest if I can't advertise? However I am not opposed to other feds advertising their products. I encourage it. If you want to work any interred angles, I welcome it. In fact there will be one between the MBC and Fighting Spirit. And you know if DERP and BSCW are sister feds... Just saying... TWO - THE VENUE -------------------------- The venue is a bit tricky. In 2008, one of the MBC’s more infamous characters managed to get the whole league banned from its home base of Dallas. Subsequent events managed to get the MBC banned from several more cities and states, putting the status of the league’s marquee PPV in jeopardy Then came an offer the MBC couldn’t resist. Enter the fictional town of Styx, Wyoming. The place would be normal if it wasn’t for the entire city’s population being insane. Faces were treated as villains, heels as Gods. Up was down, left was right and every other orientation was completely screwed. It’s sort of like when the WWE goes to Canada and Shawn Michaels is treated like he punched a baby. Take that and magnify it by ten. That city burned down but has been rebuilt in Styx, Alabama. Here the MBC’s top stable has taken over and will be in charge of things. They won’t harass the non MBCers. They’re more interested in the traveling commentators who’ve been the main attractions of the MBC’s recent batch of shows. That’ll be the show’s main framing structure. Really, you and your constituents will be able to do largely what they want. THREE - TEAM SIZES? ------------------------------- Team size doesn't really matter for "official" delegations. So far i've heard a team of 3-5 the most common thought. I have no problem with each fed having more than that as long as I know what events each delegate is entering. For the Opening Ceremonies I'd hope to see some organization but I’ll leave that to the fedheads. For unofficial delegations, mob rule will probably work out just fine. FOUR - HOW ARE RESULTS DETERMINED? ------------------------------------------------------------- In the past the determination of results was mostly random. I went with what I thought was funny or what went with any current angles at the time. This principle will remain so with 2012. However I will take strats and RP's (in general, not by event ) into account. People have already come up with some interesting ideas and I certainly want to include as many as possible. As said above, strats and RP's are welcome but not required. As with any e-fed, they make things MUCH easier. FIVE - OPENING CEREMONIES ------------------------------------------- The plan is to have some and highlight each delegation. I’ll get with people on said highlights. But it may be something you all might want to brainstorm for your characters and feds. SIX - THE EVENTS THEMSELVES --------------------------------------------- They’re fairly self explanatory. Most will be individual events but I may add team components to some of them just because we have so many actual teams. I DO need to know what events what characters will participate in. They can participate in multiple events but please, not all. SEVEN - I THINK THAT’S ALL -------------------------------------- Obviously, this will be a collaborative effort and I look forward to working with you all. If there’s anything that isn’t covered here or if you have questions in general, please let me know. |
