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?

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.
