Graalympics

From Graal Bible

The Graalympics is an event where the best of the best Graal players from each server and fight for the title of the best in the game in global administrator-sactioned matches. The events are typically poorly run and disorganized. In fact, the Winter Graalympics 2004 was cancelled entirely due to lack of planning and progress.

Originally, the matches were hosted on the #gscript server which was temporarily renamed to Graalympus for the duration of the event and run by Tyhm. However, only one year after the first in 2004, Tyhm stepped down and abandoned the job and project. It was more or less resurrected by multiple parties, the most prominent of them being Malinko from gscript and LogicBot from Doomsday. In 2005, it seems Dysangelist of Delteria has expressed an interest in running the tournaments.

It was initially planned for there to be multiple events, such as a tug of war, scripting competition, levels competition, and trivia. Lack of interest and administrative work ultimately led the event to degenerate into a giant sparring tournament where the best from each server competed.

2004 Graalympics

The 2004 Graalympics was hosted on LogicBot's playerworld which had it's "gold/vip only" restrictions removed for the matches. The 2004 Graalympics is not considered truly official because of its poor management, ambiguous signup rules, and lack of global support. It was so unofficial that another Graalympics was held later; it had the same result of Tortoise winning. Despite all of that, the lineup of sparrers was generally the best the game had to offer and all of the matches were impressive.
