POTCO Winter Olympics
 
Ahoy there mates!

As all the world gathers to test the true valor and strength of their country, pirates prepare to do battle against the forces of Jolly Roger. But we pirates can't let this go by! We, as pirates, love a good ole' competition (plus, we'll need something to do.) So why not bring the Olympics to the Caribbean! This February, pirates from all reaches of the Caribbean are invited to test themselves, and their guild, in the ultimate competition of strength, will, and strategy! Are you prepared to see how you stack up in the Caribbean?

This competition will span across all aspects of the Caribbean, including PvP, SvS, cards, and much more! This is the time where you can truely show the Caribbean if you/your guild are as strong as you think you are! I invite any and all pirates to take part, but be warned - ye'll need to be a pirate of strength and wit to make it to the top. Here be the rules if yer interested:

RULES:
  • Glitches, hacks, or any type of cheating which helps your pirate or your game perform better will not be allowed, and if you are caught, it will result in automatic disqualification of you and/or your team.
  • Pirates are expected to mantain a sportsman-like atmosphere - booing, arguing or trouble-making of any kind will not be tolerated.
  • Once you sign up with a team for the competition, your team stays as is - switches will NOT be allowed unless under certain circumstances.
  • The compeition will be seperated in to two divisions: Single pirates and Teams. The events will remain the same in both divisions, the only difference is the number of people you are working with. Please note, if you sign up for one of the divisions, you will not be allowed to sign up for the other division.
  • Teams are allowed to be made up of any pirates, whether friends or guild, so as long as teams do not exceed 5 members.
  • If a Team chooses to represent their guild, that guild cannot have more than 1 represented team. Still, pirates of that guild that are not in the offical guild team can be a part of another team, or sign up for singles.
  • Single pirates and teams are allowed to sign up for as many events as you want. This competition is just for fun, and I want to make sure everybody gets a chance to have fun.)

And now, lets move on to the events themselves! Keep in mind, the open spots below the events are just the beginning, and if more pirates decide to join, I will add positions until it grows to big.

PvP Tournament - Standard tournament rules, pirates will be selected at random to play each other. If you lose, your eliminted. If you win, you move up in the standings. A ref will be present for each match.

Singles are NOT allowed gunners, and seperate Teams are confined to 1 ship.

Capture the Flag - This game takes place on Empty Kingshead. The island will be seperated in to two halves, where one team will take control of one side, and the other the other. Then, teams will designate one person to be there flag, who will remain in a stationary position. Your teams objective is to tag the other teams flag with a voodoo dolls, and make it back to your side without being tagged. Should you be tagged by an opposing team member, you got to jail, and wait to be saved by the members of your team. The rest of the rules will be explained at the day of the competition. If you are a single pirate, you will be grouped up with other singles for a make-shift team, and the competition shall commence just like the SvS tournie. Teams will just stick with their team (of course) and the competition will act like the PvP tournie.

Hide N' Seek Tag (Yes, Hide N Seek in the Olympics) - Pirates will hide throughout an island in the Caribbean. Once they hide, I will come looking for them. If I find you, I will attempt to tag you with my voodoo doll. If you get tagged, you are eliminated. The last pirate standing will be the winner. ***Please keep in mind, teams will be split up. However, if one of the team members wins, the credit will go to the team, divided by the amount of team members.)

1st Place - Gold Medal - 10 Points
2nd Place - Silver Medal - 7 Points
3rd Place - Bronze Medal - 5 Points
Everybody else - 2 Points

The winners of the overall competition in each division will be decided on overall points. If you win, you get nothing but pride, bragging rights, and memories. :)

Current Standings:

2nd Place - James Bladefury- 9 Points
3rd Place - Kat Crestshot - 3 Points

Why this Competition is being held:

This competition is merely for the fun and enjoyment of all pirates. Don't take this competition overly-serious, its just something to do to keep everybody happy. After all, whats the fun of playing the game if you don't find the game within!

Basic Information:

When: Events begin Sunday, Feb. 7th, until we finish up all of the events.
Why: To have fun!
How to sign up: Just post your name, or the members of your team (and team name if you wish,) along with the events you would like to participate in.

Captain Del 01-14-2010 01:23 AM

And speaking of which, How do we play Capture the Flag without teams.
All single players will be seperated at random in to two teams. These two teams will play each other in the game, where the first team to win 2 of 3 rounds wins. The winning team moves on, and the losing team gets eliminated. For the next round, the winning team will then further be seperated in half. If only 2 people are to a team, each team can choose two people from the eliminated team to help, yet once the game is over, those two people head back to the sidelines. This pattern continues until only 2 players are still alive. In the final round, EVERY pirate who participated comes back, and the 2 choose who they want on their team. The first captain to win 2 rounds wins, yet only the winning Captain and losing Captain get the placement points (no 3rd place!) It seems complicated, but when you break it up when we actually play, its real simple :) Besides, I handle it all, so what do you care (besides winning, of course) <_>

Quote:

Would like to know rules in pvp...
The rules will vary from match to match. For example, I may make the first rounds standard blades, no tonic, and then the next round will be all weapons. I'm not gonna tell until the day of the event, so you better make sure you train everything ;)

as i cannot pvp/race very well being basic, and cards just arent my thing...

Captain Del 01-15-2010 11:18 PM

Ahoy mates! I've managed to plan out the course for the Ship Race! I ask that all pirates who wish to participate in the Ship Race memorize this course:

http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/u...8UpdateGWR.jpg

The course will consist of 3 laps around the course, which will tour you around the Caribbean. You can use any ship that you like, just remember:
  • If you sink, you lose!
  • Do not hit other racers ships!
  • Feel free to engage enemy ships, just remember, it may slow you down, and of course, pay attention to number 1 on the list.
  • You ARE NOT allowed to repair your ship.
  • I'll be sailing around the Caribbean, along with a few other "hidden" refs, so be sure to stay on course ;)

Dockwrecker The Privateer 01-16-2010 12:13 AM

Can you add one Jack Scurvyhawk to the ship race roster?

Dockwrecker The Privateer 01-16-2010 04:33 PM

****Final Reminder: ALL SIGN-UPS will be closed tomorrow at noon pacific time! If you want to sign up, be sure to do so now!****

Captain Del 02-03-2010 01:17 AM

Ahoy mates! Well, sign-ups are now officially closed, and its time to get ready to compete! First off, I have just a few announcements to make;

ALL COMPETITORS - I just realized, this Sunday is actually Super Bowl Sunday. Seeing as how most will be busy that day (including myself) the contests will begin Saturday, February 6th, other than the 7th.

Allow pirates that were part of Dockwrecker's "Project Oblivion" SvS Team - Due to the fact there were no other teams that signed up, you all have been split up, and put in to the Singles competition.

Now then, the following is a list of all the events, how they will work out, and when.

PvP tournament - Seeing as how we have an odd number of competitors, I decided to set things up a little differently. Instead of setting up a standing system, there will be a series of Mayhem matches. In each match, you will be judged on how well you ranked. Each match, the person ranked last will be eliminated. This will be done until there is only 1 pirate standing. Ganging up on other pirates is NOT allowed!! The tournament will be the first event, starting and ending on Saturday, February 6th. ***See bottom of thread for exact time***

SvS Tournament - The rules have not changed, and can be found on the front page of the thread. Here is the list of those pirates participating, and on which team they will start:

Spanish
Aaron McEagle
Jag Wire Jones
I rock
Will Swordcastle
capt. gunkidd

French
The Skirata Clan
Swash II
Dockwrecker the Privateer
Capt. Seafury
(One other pirate may be dropped in)

This event will BEGIN on the 6th, right after the PvP Tournie, and end at a later date.

Poker Tournament - Same rules apply as on the front page. Here are the standings for who will be playing who in the first rounds:

Match #1
The Skirata Clan
VS.
Jag Wire Jones

Match #2
Sven O'smythe
VS.
Swashbuckler II

Match #3
Mortimer Dockwrecker
VS.
Kat Crestshot

Date TBA.

Ship Races - Same rules apply. Date TBA. ***Be sure to practice the course!***

Scavenger Hunt - Same rules apply. Contestants will all recieve their first PM Saturday night.

Capture the Flag - Same rules apply. All contestants have been split up in to two seperate teams, yet the sides (which half of Kingshead) will be chosen the day of the game:

Blue Team
Commodore Zeke
I rock
Dockwrecker the Privateer
Sven O'smythe
Capt. Charlotte Doyle

Red Team
The Skirata Clan
Capt. Seafury
Swash II
William Swordcastle
Kat Crestshot

I ask that each team discusses prior to the event who will be Captain, and who will be the flag. If you would like to wear team colors to lessen confusion, that would be accepted and appreciated :) Date TBA.

Hide N Seek Tag - Same rules apply. Date TBA. (and no, I'm not telling you the island just yet ;))

And lastly, one more announcement:

To ALL COMPETITORS! To kick off the competition, we will be having a party, pirate style! On Saturday, February 6th, at 2:00 PM, EST, we will a party exclusive to competitors and their guilds! After the party, the events will begin, so it is neccassary that if you are in the PvP and/or SvS tournies that you show up! Hope to see ye there pirates!!

joere444 02-05-2010 08:12 PM

I'll sign up for the Scavenger hunt I'm representing the Dreams of Fire guild.

The Evil Will Mcbain 02-05-2010 08:40 PM

I would like to be in team capture the flag. It sounds awesome!

Captain Del 02-05-2010 10:56 PM

Sorry mates, but as I posted, we are no longer accepting any sign ups.

Also, to all contestants, I just realized, I never posted a location for our party <_> lol, just meet at the Main Dock on Port Royal, Navago, at the time in my previous post, and we'll move on to our location from there :) See ya there mates!

Capt Seafury 02-06-2010 06:28 PM

Can't Come
 
Sorry Del, but I won't be able to get on today.
We've been hit hard by lots of snow here, and I'm gonna spend most of the day shoveling and stuff.

Sorry for the last-minute inconvenience that this might have caused.

Captain Del 02-06-2010 06:37 PM

No problem CS, its fine. I'm sure I'll be able to find a way around it :)

James Bladefury 02-06-2010 08:13 PM

Alright, sounds good Del!

The Skirata Clan 02-06-2010 08:44 PM

There was no one around, but Sven. Is it going to be moved?

Captain Del 02-06-2010 09:00 PM

Aye, TSC. Not a lot of people showed up at the designated time, most likely due to the snow, so I have rescheduled the competition to next Saturday. See ye there mates!

Crestshot 02-11-2010 12:13 AM

Will the times for poker and hide n' seek and such be announced at the party?

Captain Del 02-11-2010 12:53 AM

Times for other events will be announced as the competition progresses. Stay tuned for updates!

Captain Del 02-12-2010 03:19 AM

Grr, this is getting complicated >_<

Unfortunately, at the scheduled time I have to attend a party, and I won't be on all day. SO, as the FINAL time I will change the date, I've moved the competition over to this Sunday at 5 PM EST. I'm really really sorry that I've been changing the time a lot, RL can be a real bilge rat sometimes >_< Welp, see ye there!

Sven Osymthe 02-12-2010 03:57 AM

I wasn't going to be able to make this Saturday either, glad it got rescheduled, sorta :D

I'll be able to make it Sunday for sure.

muffin pirate 02-12-2010 07:17 PM

i might make it.... but don't count on me being there. i am busy sunday at that time.

Dockwrecker The Privateer 02-13-2010 03:16 PM

Well, I'm back on POF now,I should make it for Sonntag!

Kat Five Knives 02-13-2010 03:59 PM

Sorry I may not make it or I may be late. I will try.

( Jag Wire Jones )

James Bladefury 02-13-2010 07:42 PM

Sorry Del, I don't know if I can make it. I will try my best to come on.

Dockwrecker The Privateer 02-14-2010 04:52 PM

Alright,six hours until!I should make it for the events I'm taking.May all Spanish Privateers eat cannonballs! :p

Captain Del 02-14-2010 10:32 PM

FINAL REMINDER: Alright mates, the contest starts in 20 minutes! Remember, if you are not here by 15 minutes after 5 PM (EST) we WILL start without you! For those that may be late, please just wait at the dock.

The Skirata Clan 02-15-2010 08:15 AM

I was forced to forfeit because I must be a good boyfriend.

swordshot 02-15-2010 03:03 PM

guys im so sorry


Um today when is it?

Captain Del 02-15-2010 08:20 PM

Haha mates, no worries. We didn't even do any offical events last night, so its no problem!

HOWEVER, seeing as how virtually the same pirates came as last time, I needed to reward them somehow. SO, last night, an assortment of contestants got the chance to participate in a few mini-games. We kiciked off the night which a foot race around Tortuga, so our pirates could warm their muscles up. In first place, came Erin Nicole (a friend of Sven's,) in second, Sven himself, and in third, Kat Crestshot!

After that, our mates participated in a little ship race, where the refs weren't particularly very good ones, shooting at the contestants and blocking their paths (>:-D) After the pirates finished their last lap, they need to come up and broadside my ship... but would you honestly think I would let them beat my little game? A simple ship race turned in to a race around the Caribbean, ending in a game of cat-and-mouse through Port Royal!

And of course, I wasn't going to let this go to waste - the winners got a few bonus points to jump-start their competition scores! Heres the final rake-ups for last night:

Sven O'smythe - 6 points
Kat Crestshot - 3 points
James Bladefury - 1 point
Dockwrecker the Privateer - 1 point

Now its up to all those who couldn't make it to really push themselves, aye?

Now, on to the schedule for all the events! The following is when and where the event will take place. *Only if there are numerous pirates that cannot attend, will the event be pushed back, at most, a few hours*

PvP Tournament - Friday, February 19th, 8:45 PM EST, Port Royal Dock, Navago
SvS Tournament - Sunday, February 21st, 1:45 PM EST, Tortuga Dock, Cozros
Poker Tournament - Sunday, February 21st, 5:45 PM EST, Ratskellar, Padres Del Fuego, Cozros
Ship Races - Sunday, February 21st, 7:15 PM EST, Tortuga Dock, Navago
Capture the Flag - Friday, February 26th, 8:30 PM EST, Kingshead Dock, Navago
Hide N' Seek - Sunday, February 28th, 1:30 PM EST, LOCATION TBA
Closing Ceremonies - Sunday, February 28th, 7:00 PM EST, Royal Anchor, Port Royal, Navermo

Crestshot 02-17-2010 04:02 AM

Excellent. Thanks for the full schedule Del! As of now I'm able to make all of my events. I'll warn you if things change.

Capt Seafury 02-17-2010 05:48 AM

Sorry I couldn't make it Del...

I've been going the last two weeks without a computer, so the only connection I have to PotCO is through my iPod's browser (using it now).

Yeah... I should have my computer up and running sometime this week so I think I can make it for the events.

Sorry I couldn't be there.

Captain Del 02-19-2010 07:28 PM

Remember pirates, the first event is tonight! If your a part of it (or you just want to observe) don't miss out!

All competitors, listen up!

Because only one contestant for the PvP Tournie showed up (SOS,) the entire event just turned into a huge PvP Fiasco. Still, SOS did show up, and came in first place. But because it was not the offical competition, Sven will recieve 3 points! Still a pretty good reward, huh?

Next off, REMEMBER, the SvS Tournie is TODAY! See the post a few above this one for the time and location.

And lastly, I'm going to be adding some more fun to all of this. Seeing as how open spots will be evident, if you are a contestant for another event, or not signed up at all, you are allowed to come and participate if we have open spots. While people outside of the contest will recieve no points (of course,) if you are a contestant and do come, and rank, you will recieve an amount of bonus points. ***First come, first serve!***

See ye today, mates!

I thought this was yesterday... No wonder no one showed up.

Dockwrecker The Privateer 02-21-2010 08:34 PM

The game is not working for me right now and I was busy so I couldn't make it.EDIT: Still having issues ,game won't launch. :p

Captain Del 02-21-2010 10:25 PM

EDIT: Pirates, I am rearranging the schedule a bit!!! Please pay attention!!

Because we will be finishing up SvS at 6 PM, today, Sunday the 21st, I've changed up the schedule just a bit:

Poker Tournament - Sunday, February 21st, 7:15 PM EST, Ratskellar, Padres Del Fuego, Cozros
Ship Races - Friday, February 26th, 7:15 PM EST, Tortuga Dock, Navago

Also, ALL PIRATES INTERESTED IN ATTENDING ROUND 2 OF SVS! Please remember, Round 2 will be today, Sunday 21st, at 6 PM EST. We will meet at the original location stated on the schedule! Thanks mates!

sorry i keep forgeting

Crestshot 02-22-2010 01:12 AM

Hey Del, when are we doing the Poker Tournament? Wouldn't that have been pushed back now due to the untimely invasion?

Captain Del 02-22-2010 12:07 PM

Aye, indeed. Looks like Jolly Roger really enjoys screwing me plans up >_<

Well, first off, I'd like to thank the someodd 25 pirates that showed up to help make our SvS Tournament a blast! All the pirates fought real hard, both in Rounds 1 and 2, yet of course, there could be only 1 true victor... and here be last nights outcome: (Please keep in mind, there was NO 3rd place for this event.)

1st Place - Sven O'Smythe - 10 Points (19 Points Total)
2nd Place - Jag Wire Jones - 7 Points (7 Points Total)
James Bladefury, Kat Krestshot, Dockwrecker the Privateer, and Lord Browns - 2 Points for participation

And next, off course, thanks to how things worked out, the schedule must be altered yet again. So, without further adue:

Poker Tournament - Friday, February 26th, 7:00 PM EST, Ratskellar, Padres Del Fuego, Cozros
Ship Races - Friday, February 26th, 8:15 PM EST, Tortuga Dock, Navago
Capture the Flag - Sunday, February 28th, 1:15 PM EST, Kingshead Dock, Navago
Hide N' Seek - Sunday, February 28th, 5:15 PM EST, LOCATION TBA
Closing Ceremonies - Sunday, February 28th, 7:00 PM EST, Royal Anchor, Port Royal, Navermo

Its gonna be a tight squeeze, but I think we can oull it off, lest something goes wrong... which is why I strongely encourage you gather any friends that might be interested in playing BEFORE we set to start, so we can get everything done in a timely fashion. Thanks mates!

Kat Five Knives 02-22-2010 12:34 PM

Thanks Del for doing this... it was great fun and I know it was a lot of work on your part.
See ya in 4 years??? LOL

Dockwrecker The Privateer 02-22-2010 02:00 PM

The SvS was fun,I did leave for a time but I put a young commander in my stead for the rest of the time.My apologies to Jag Wire Jones for me impulsive outbusrst,I was just being a madman of a French stratigiser,overcomplicating it really.I hope we could have the next games in 2012 in the summer perhaps,but this one is still running strong.(Next time ye plan on one Del PM me and we can form if ye want an Olympic Board so we can run even more things.)And is it me or are the closing cerimonies the same place where the book got burned... :)

Capt Seafury 02-25-2010 05:43 AM

Well I'm back! (a little late)

Sorry Del, but I can't attend the ship races (busy Friday and Saturday). Capture the Flag, though, I can do.

Sorry I didn't come when I was supposed to...

Captain Del 02-26-2010 11:50 PM

*Reminds everybody of the events tonight*

Crestshot 02-27-2010 01:19 AM

Ok, I just showed (albeit late, sorry) for the poker tournament and nobody was around. Was it cancelled?

Captain Del 02-27-2010 01:33 AM

I waited a little over the 7:00 PM EST mark, but still nobody was there. So, the Poker Tournament has been cancelled. However, the ship race is still on for 8:15, so it would be nice for there to be a lot of activity for that ;) See ya there!

Dockwrecker The Privateer 02-27-2010 01:34 AM

A certain Lord should make an appearence for racing....

Captain Del 02-27-2010 04:41 PM

I would like to congratulate and thank all those who joined us for the ship race last night! It was a great race (with a few twists here and there...) but in the end, there had to be a winner! (even if he wasn't exactly an offical participant.) Here be the outcomes:

1st Place - Jim Firewalker - (No Points - Not an offical contestant)
2nd Place - James Bladefury - 7 Points (9 Points Total)
3rd Place - Sven O'smythe - 5 Points (26 Points Total)

Dockwrecker The Privateer 02-27-2010 10:38 PM

My congratulations to you James!

James Bladefury 02-27-2010 11:29 PM

Thank you very much Dockwrecker the Privateer!!!!!!!

Captain Del 02-28-2010 03:38 PM

Remember mates, today is the last day of the competition! It would be real nice if we could have a real big turnout for the final few events and tonight's party, so please, all pirates are welcome to join in our activities! And seeing as how it turned out, looks like we saved the best events for last ;) Lets hope to see ye all there!

Captain Del 02-28-2010 10:37 PM

Location for Hide N' Seek: Padres Del Fuego BACK BEACH, Navermo, near Gen. Darkheart

EDIT: Due to the invasion, Hide N' Seek has been moved to 6 PM EST

Dockwrecker The Privateer 02-28-2010 10:52 PM

Could one Jack Scurvyhawk take Lord Browns' place as the back beach is quite treacherous?

Captain Del 03-01-2010 12:44 AM

Due to the invasion, Closing Ceremonies will be at 8:00 PM EST!!

Sven Osymthe 03-01-2010 12:53 AM

Invasions do not like Del.

Crestshot 03-01-2010 01:55 AM

Mates, thank you all so much for the great times during these Olympics. Thank you so much to Captain Del for setting it up and to everyone who competed or watched. It was great fun, albeit difficult at times, but if it wasn't, it wouldn't have been as wonderful. I'm so happy for my medal, but I didn't even need it. I'll remember these events and all of the people. Thanks guys!

- Kat Crestshot

P.S.- Hey Del, how about a Summer Olympics in two years? Hahahaha. Just kidding mate.

Sven Osymthe 03-01-2010 02:00 AM

Thanks for setting this up, and congrats to Kat and James!

James Bladefury 03-01-2010 02:07 AM

Well done mates! Congrats to all the winners. Thank you Del for setting up this event, I really enjoyed participating in it.

Haha, Sven, what's up with your arm? Does it just not like going above your shoulder?

Kat Five Knives 03-01-2010 03:34 AM

I really want to know what LAWRENCE is doing LOL.

Dockwrecker The Privateer 03-01-2010 01:39 PM

I don't know,I don't think it was me rofl.When I showed up everyone was gone,then I saw Sven run by and then I lost him. :p

Jamesvsthekraken 03-01-2010 05:29 PM

Congrats to all Winners! :)

muffin pirate 03-02-2010 12:51 AM

who won hide-n-seek????

Captain Del 03-02-2010 01:07 AM

I would like to thank everybody who participated in the 1st ever POTCO Olympics! Whether you signed up, or you just came to have fun, you helped make this competition a game-wide experience for everyone! Thanks mates! Give yerself a pat on the back!

We battled, we fought, we laughed, and we cried (and we even had an invasion or two,) witted against each other in a fit to claim the spot as Olympian of the Caribbean - but in the end, few pirates made it through the trials, and claimed a medal for their own... but who prevailed? Well, it was close in all matches, I could say that, but there were still winners, and still losers... but who prevailed?
