Thank you all again.

And also, when you do the Parade of Nations (if you host a game) and you have a foreign language as your national language, feel free to attempt to translate the names of nations into that language when you name off the nations, just gives more fun to the event Smile

Long live the World Alliance!

This is Texania, right? If so, you have to subtract this delegation from the original Texanian delegation. You must subtract the amount you wish to send from a puppet from the amount you send from the original state.

Texania Wed May 28, 2014 11:09 am

It never once said that in the rules. The athletes section says nothing of the sort. Nor the rest of the document. I will continue with my previously stated numbers.

WORLD ALLIANCE OLYMPIC COMMITTEE

COMITÉ OLYMPIQUE DU WA

Citius, altius, fortius!

Faster, higher, stronger!

Plus rapide, plus haut, plus fort!

(Motto of the WAOC)

First WAOC Summit: found here

The World Alliance Olympic Committee (WAOC) is a neutral, non-profit, non-governmental organisation based in Paris, Arveyres. The main goal of the WAOC is to organise the World Alliance Olympic Games. With representation from international delegates, the WAOC wishes to convey peace, multi-culturalism, while still maintaining a bond of athleticism through participation in the Olympic Games.

Role

Composition

The WAOC is comprised of one delegate from each participating nation of the respective games. It is the delegates job to vote on whatever is brought to the table of the WAOC.

Suspension

A nation's delegate will be barred from voting if their nation is subject to suspension. The WAOC will not allow any voting or participation from a suspended nation whatsoëver.

A nation's delegates and athletes are subject to suspension if any of the following are valid:

* The nation is at war
* The nation is boycotting the Games
* The nation is not allowing athletes of a specific nation to participate in Olympic Games held in their nation.

Suspension times are decided by the WAOC and not all suspensions have a uniform time. There is a 3-game time limit for any suspensions. The suspension is able to be renewed and appealed. If an appeal is made, the WAOC is able to vote on the un-suspension of the nation or to oppose the un-suspension of the nation.

Organisation

The WAOC shall organise the Summer and Winter Olympics which shall occur alternating every six months (around June-July, and January-February respectively). The Games will last for two weeks (fourteen days) each. The WAOC will decide of the full list of sports to be played. The WAOC votes to have an Olympic Games in every term. If there is a majority vote (75%) in opposition, the Games will not occur. If there is a majority vote (75%) in favor of the Games, they will occur.

Hosting

One (or two) nation(s) is allowed to host the Games. They will be given a sum of money as a preliminary budget for the expenses of the Games. If the nation goes over the adorned budget, the expenses shall fall completely on the host(s).

The Games of the Olympiad for that respective season will be officially the " (season) Olympic Games of the n Olympiad: (host city) " (with n representing the game number (in roman numeral form).)

Example: "Summer Olympic Games of the X Olympiad: Paris"

If it is hosted in two cities, the city names should be hyphenated, never in the form of (city) and (city).

Example: "Winter Olympic Games of the III Olympiad: Astana-Velikogovolka"

The numeral before the word of Olympiad should never be an Arabic numeral.

Clauses of Hosting

If the host nation of the Games is involved in any military conflict, the privileges of hosting the Games of the Olympiad will be revoked. One nation can not host consecutive games. The role of host will then be given to the second nation during the final round. If both nations are at war, the nation with the third amount of votes will be adorned with the title of host, and so-on and so-forth. If no nation is eligible to host the Games, the Games of the Olympiad will be cancelled.

Voting

Each nation is allowed to voluntarily give only one city which they think is suitable for hosting the Games of the Olympiad. Or, two nations are allowed to promote a joint-games in two cities. A nation is not allowed to vote for their own candidate city.

Each delegate is granted one vote for the preliminary round of deciding the host city. After all votes have been tallied, the two cities with the highest number of votes shall advance to the final round of voting. After all the delegates have voted for a second time, the city with the highest number of votes will be selected as the host city. Abstensions of voting are allowed in the first round, but are not allowed in the final round of voting. If you did not vote in the first round, you may not vote in the second round, and if you abstained in the first round you will be granted a vote for the second round. If a vote from a nation that previously abstained does not make it into the voting window of the required votes, it will not be counted.

Voting of cities happens two games in advance, to prevent the provocation of inter-WACO feuds.

The winning nation to become host will be declared in front of the WAOC, and from the WAOC Headquarters in Paris to the general public.

Ties in Voting

If two nations are in a tie, there will be a separate tie-breaker before moving on to the next round. If a tie emerges in the final round, the city that received more votes in the preliminary round shall be declared the host city.

Games

Athletes

There will be a limit of how many athletes you can send to an Olympic Games. Out of your participants:

* One can send no more than three participants to any given singles sport.
* One can send no more than two teams of two participants to any given doubles sport.
* One can send no more than one team of four participants to any given team sport that isn't: synchronised swimming, football.

* Synchronised swimming teams requiring anywhere between 3-10 athletes.
* Football teams requiring 11-18 athletes.

The athlete limit is as follows (the Realistic Roleplay population (is not to be observed)):

* 100 thousand and below: 10
* 101-250 thousand: 15
* 251-500 thousand: 20
* 501-750 thousand: 25
* 751-1 thousand: 32
* 2-10 million: 40
* 11-15 million: 48
* 16-25 million: 56
* 26-35 million: 64
* 36-50 million: 72
* 51-75 million: 80
* 76-100 million: 90
* 101-150 million: 100
* 151-200 million: 125
* 201-250 million: 135
* 251-500 million: 145
* 501-1000 million: 175
* 1000+ million: 200

Sports

The list of games to be conducted at the Games of the Olympiad will be constructed and decided on by the WAOC. The WAOC can choose to add or remove games from the default lists. Default lists have been created and will follow this section. If there is a sport without at least three participants, it will be removed from the list of contested sports. Any nations that have placed atheletes in a sport with less than three participants will be allowed to move their athletes to a different sport.

Conduction

Each sport will consist of three levels:

* Preliminary round - All nations will be judged and the top eight nations will move on to the next games.
* Semi-final round - The top eight nations of the preliminary round will compete until the top five are chosen.
* Final round - The top five nations compete until the top three have been scored. The top three will be recipients of medals at the Closing Ceremony, the bottom two of this round will not receive medals.

*If there are less than eight nations at the start of the preliminary round, the semi-finals immediately begin.

*If there are less than five nations at the start of the preliminary round, the finals automatically begin.

*If there are less than three nations at the start of the preliminary round, the sport will not be contested at the games.

Judging

The WAOC will also choose five unbiased nations (with the Arveyres being included by default) to be the judges of the Games. The judging shall be unbiased and results will be chosen at random. The results must be screenshotted, uploaded to an image hosting side, and sent to Arveyres.

The BGFL online TEN SIDED dice-rolling program will be used to determine the scores (link to dice). All six judges will submit their scores to the Arveyres (via telegram) and the scores will be averaged to determine the final scores.

Ties in judging will result in a re-rolling of the final score.

Medals

All medals will be presented at the end of each games. There will be a total of one medal for each of the following places 1st (first), 2nd (second), 3rd (third) (gold, silver, and bronze, respectively).

Each sport will be given their own set of medals.

On the first page of this summit, I notified everyone of that. See?, if you don't like it: don't participate.

It's never once said in the rules accepted by the WA community. Now you are just making your own rules.

Texania Wed May 28, 2014 12:27 pm

And the original population rule said (as according to realistic roleplay population)

https://worldalliance.forumotion.co.uk/t424-wa-olympic-committee-formation-act

So you are just outright changing the bill.

#1, it would make less sense for me, with puppets of over 1 billion population (sans NST), to be able to send as many delegates as I can; thus giving me the opportunity to empty my whole puppet storage into the nation and sign up for the Olympics. It stands as it stands for realistic purposes.

#2, I made the edit after the bill had been passed, and it had never been challenged until now, AFTER conduction and starting of a Games has already occured. It would be much of a problem to bring progress that we currently have to a halt. Being the sole active board member of this organization, I changed the rule without anyone bringing it up in the thread.

New Tarajan Wed May 28, 2014 7:48 pm

And in any case, Texania, I wish to add that Regornia is not recognized by the WA Government. So, it could not participate to the Olympics in any case...

Honestly, there's no need for such a rule. If a State is not recognized by the others, it means that juridically it doesn't exist for them. So, how could it attend the Olympics?

Texania Wed May 28, 2014 8:47 pm

Arveyres, you never told anybody about the change, so how would anybody be given the chance to respond?

It's like this.
Lets say we create a commitee to ban certain peanut butters.

But in the middle of the conference, I don't tell anyone about my
Addition that says that strawberry jelly is also banned. How is that fair? It's not. It's one nation making rules for an entire DEMOCRATIC region, and expecting not telling them about it would be fine.

Texania Wed May 28, 2014 8:51 pm

So I could stop recognising a nation and that would Ban them from participating? Ok then. My nation has stopped recognising New Tarajan, Shirouma,
And Europe and Asia. I guess that they can't participate since I don't recognise them. And barring
Another nation from participating is against the rules.

A nation's delegate (and all athletes) is subject to suspension if any of the following are valid:

* The nation is at war
* The nation is boycotting the Games
* The nation is not allowing athletes of a specific nation to participate in Olympic Games held in their nation.

New Tarajan Wed May 28, 2014 8:54 pm

International recognition does not depend on one single country.
We are talking about the majority, if not the entirety, of the International Community, which did not recognize the new Regornian regime.

But, naturally, as according to the rules, Regornia will be required to be allowed, or the games will have to be hosted elsewhere.

New Tarajan Wed May 28, 2014 8:59 pm

But how, since no country recognized it, and a bill is being discusses in the Council which even defines Imabistan/Regornia as a "failed State" and promote and international intervention against it?

The only possible move could be to wait until the law is approved or dismissed. Then waiting for eventual international recognition.

It is not my fact that you are incapable of reading the post, even if I update it without notifying the group.

Isn't Regornia under a state of civil war with Texania? If so, then neither Regornia nor Texania are able to participate.

What rule says this? None. No matter how you like it. Regornia still functions as a nation. It being not allowed to participate is against the rules. Regornia will be participating.

Texania Wed May 28, 2014 9:44 pm

Regornia isn't located in texania anymore. If you would read my news, then you would know that I am not at war.
