I'm only sad I missed the event because my keyboard was borked and I couldn't log in until now.

Hello everyone. I hope you all are having a wonderful new year! I'm here to announce that signups for Oatland's Winter Games are now open. The games are open to everyone in the region so I hope to see some of you here.

2019 Oatland Winter Games

The Oatland Regional Games are an international sporting event held in Oatland. Its purpose is to promote sporting excellence and international brotherhood. The games are biannual, with winter games held in February and summer games held in June. Each game consists of numerous events in which athletes compete for the gold, silver and bronze metal. This years winter game has eight events: Figure Skating, Cross Country Skiing, Ice Hockey, Freestyle Skiing, the Biathlon, Alpine Skiing, Curling and a new event, Bobsledding.

Example roster:

Figure Skating - Angèle Dior, Lionel Genet
Cross Country Skiing - Marc Gérald, Céline Berlioz

Freestyle Skiing - Philippe Jauffret, Gérald Pretre
Bobsledding - Yes
The Biathlon - Christine Girard, Olivia Gaudreau, Jean-Yves Bachelot, Julie Rousselle
Alpine Skiing - René Pascal, Marinette Derocles, Nathan Carré

Eligibility
The games are open to all nations that are residents of Oatland, all nations that are residents of a region that has an embassy with Oatland and all nations which have previously competed in the games.

How to participate
In order to compete nations should telegram a list of competing athletes to Aclion, the event organizer.
This list should contain the full name of each competing athlete as well as the event they will competing in.
Nations are currently limited to sixteen athletes total and are allowed to allocate up to five to each event. If an athlete is competing in more then one event then each entry is counted separately towards the nations total athlete pool.
The exception is the team events, ice hockey, curling and bobsledding, in these events nations may only allocate one "competitor". This entry represents the nation's team so will just be named after that nation(unless you want to give a team name I guess)

Scoring
The exact system used for scoring is secret. However, nations should note that having a high heath stat will give them a small advantage in the games, nations can also gain an advantage by shrewd allocation of their athletes.
Nations can also take advantage of various bonuses, which are added to their athletes scores. Nations can earn team-wide bonuses by publishing team logos, uniform designs and anthems. Additionally nations that publish short biographies of competitors can earn a bonus for that competitor. Nations can also earn a bonus in a specific sport simply by noting that this sport is their nation's speciality when submitting their roster. Please be sure to submit all material by the sign-up deadline if you wish it to count towards your score.

Additionally when choosing competitors for your roster note that athletes and teams which earned medals in the previous winter games will automatically receive a bonus if they return to compete in the same event.

Well, fun fact. If your nation is deleted through inactivity and you come back, you still have powers you've been given even though it automatically puts you in the Osiris region. I could've been suppressing people's messages here without ever coming back.

That... is hilarious. I wonder how well known this phenomenon is, and how far it stretches.

Apparently, both Prefesia and Oasisa really, REALLY think my card is valuable. Prefesia is trying to get 5.00 for my card, and Oasisa trying to sell it for 53.00!!

Just launched our region's third major embassy expansion. If this goes well, I think we could start considering trying to increase the populace of The Bunny Fire.

That'll show everyone.

I'm quite familiar with it but I learnt it by leaving a region and still having my authority there.

I have a couple uncommon and common trading cards for sale if anyone is interested.

I'm interested only in Ex-Nation cards, and ones from people I know.

WAHOO!! I finally managed to reduce my Political Rights classification to Outlawed! That'll show those durn Shady Missionaries.

I recorded another song.

I rather liked that A Cappella rendition!! I am rather curious how long it took to record each individual voice track though.

Well, I started about 1:00 that day, and finished the recording at about 9:00. So 8 hours, with maybe an hour and a half worth of breaks for 6 and a half recording hours, divided by 4 since it's 4 voice tracks, so an average of about an hour and 40 minutes per track.

It's not a pony song this time, but I did a Fire Emblem-based parody of the song They Call the Wind Mariah
