I haven't applied for any tickets to the 2012 London Olympics because I'm a grumpy old b*stard, am tight and I went to the Millenium Dome in early 2000, which left me with the everlasting impression that the UK (or the English at least) at completely sh1t at doing big events like this. Also, I need an excuse to buy a massive new telly.
I'm also 42, so I'm beginning to suspect that I might not get picked to represent my country at international level in anything, ever. So I'm announcing the QL Olympics ! I've come up with the following events :
Ice Skating.
In heats of 4, a speed skating race across the icy lake of Distant Screams, starting from one bridge and ending at the opposite one. No weaps !
800m
Heats of 4 again, this time racing round the upper levels of Black Cathedral. Obviously no weaps again.
Clay Pigeon Shooting.
Set on Terminal Heights, in insta mode. The shooter takes up position on the RG platform and shoots at 'volunteers' that launch off the top jump pad to the quad platform. Volunteers can air-strafe .and crouch to make life a little bit harder for the shooter. 10 clays per competitor
QL Modern Triathlon.
Back on Distant Screams again, this time involving a race from enemy flag room to base. Take the enemy flag, then use the flight power up, ice skating and then running / skating (where possible) to cap. Fastest time wins. No weaps.
Plasma Climb
Haven't completely thought this through yet, but it would be in CA mode. Need a map with a nice big, high wall. I reckon it should be in heats of 2 and either the highest wins, or the first to reach a ledge or some mark.
Any other ideas welcome, tho I guess we don't want to get too many events cos there'll never be enough time to do them all.
Turtl3 reckoned it would make a good video and even offered to do some post even commentary.
