Oolympics events

Post by SandJ »

So, later this year the Oolympics are being held - how much do we know about them? What events are held? What issues arise? I've not been following the developments, but I have been hearing about:

- The Zero-G cricket and hockey.
- 100 light year dash.
- 8 galaxy marathon.
- Triathlon: go to the witchspace point and scoop a cargopod, go to the sun and shoot a pirate, then back to the space station and dock.
- Synchronised fuel scooping.
- Triple witchspace jump.
- Long jump (e.g. crossing the Great Rift in Galaxy 7).

What else is there?
Flying a Cobra Mk I Cobbie 3 with nothing but Explorers Club.OXP and a beam laser 4 proper lasers for company :D
Dropbox referral link 2GB of free space online + 500 Mb for the referral: good for securing work-in-progress.

You know those who, having been mugged and stabbed, fired, dog run over, house burned down, wife eloped with best friend, daughters becoming prostitutes and their countries invaded - still say that "all is well"?
I'm obviously not one of them.
