Whoa whoa whoa, there will be no anonymous nonsense in the documents. That would get WAY too complicated. Since ideally you'll be switching identities every turn or two that would be entirely too confusing. Your teams will know who you actually are, for the sake of all our sanity.

I mean like you won't know google account names.

Ah, that makes sense. Yes the only one at risk of having their identity revealed is me

I’ll join as Nitro Bolt, the self proclaimed greatest runner in the world

Also, if you want you can just access your google doc through your phone. I know it's not as convenient but if you want to play that is an optio

That’s generally what I do. It’s slightly different, for example I claimed a color on mobile and had trouble finding the computer equivalent, but I downloaded the docs app and it worked.

Bit of a setup question - are these Olympics being held in any country in particular? Or just in a country somewhere?

I know the basics of Dreamer, but not the specifics (and am currently scared of the Coppermind and its potential to do WaT spoilers)

This is at best, very loosely based on dreamer. And I'm deliberately being vague about countries and genders of athletes to make the game work better lmao. I thought about making it the 2028 Olympics, but honestly it really doesn't matter

Sign me up as H.S. Jump  :P.

[Karnatheon he/him]

We'll see if this is just a short term return due to nostalgia, or if I stick around long term. But I can definitely commit to being active for this game. And these mechanics seem intriguing. So I would like to sign up please.

[Aeternum]

You can sign me up as a pinch hitter for now

[Araris Valerian he/him]

Sign me up as Arreel Guy

[Steeldancer he/him]

I appreciate all the signups! Please note that we have hit 13 players, meaning there are only 3 spots left up for grabs. 

[Fifth Scholar he/him]

I will grab a spot...

...as a spectator. (Sorry Steel, school is gonna kill me if I try to juggle this, even as a PH. The AG nearly did me in and it was an LG I was barely engaging with  But I can't miss my bro's games for anything)

By the way, if we end up at a prime number, I'll swap to spectating. Just in case nobody signs up in the 3 days remaining.

I was gonna sign-up but you, me, and Fifth in the spec doc sounds like a fun time, I'll pass

Honestly, I've got a bunch of games running in the moment and some other RL and mental health stuff on my plate. I'm putting myself down to request a ping one day from sign-ups closing to decide then.

[Shqueeves]

I've been wavering a bit between wanting to join and wanting to spec. Life's busy right now and I can't guarantee activity. But a Steel game for my first game back in 2.5 years? Especially one that sounds like a bunch of chaos? Sounds like a blast. I'll join this one.

[Kasimir he/him]

Araris's threats are too powerful

Is it possible to learn this power?
