[StarGGundam2]

Aww what a bummer dood :( We'll do better next time :)

[Aphrodite]

............There were only 6 games?

There were 10 or 11.

And it's well into November now anyway.

[~Sean~]

I think this worked out nicely, especially for the first time around. I'd definitely like to see this return sometime into the future.. Another success in my book.

Anyway, congratulations to Team Legend of Zelda, of course.. You've earned it. :wave:

[Jim Halpert]

Hey good job guys.
Team Star Wars we sucked. Big time.
Make it a really cool sig. Like make their name Neon Yellow. Or give them more privileges. Or SOMEthing.

[User]

Thank ye! I think it was pretty fun, and worked out well, it didn't drag on for too long, but wasn't over too fast either. I enjoyed it alot too, definitely look forward to the next ones!

[Dan]

Nice work Team Loz and congratulations on winning.

What are the prizes?

[Inlé_rah]

Thank ye! I think it was pretty fun, and worked out well, it didn't drag on for too long, but wasn't over too fast either. I enjoyed it alot too, definitely look forward to the next ones!
:hug:

Thanks all. This is a good week for Zelda. I'm mostly talking about Twilight Princess, ...but this is good too. :link:

[Crazy Jamie]

Well done guys. We tried to make some ground up on you in that final game but you'd pulled ahead too far. Great contest though, and you thoroughly deserved the win.

Also I'd like to thank all the organisers. There were a few kinks, which is to be expected, but overall you lot did an absolutely stellar job. Thank you from all of the participants :)

[Victoria]

Congrats, guys. Heh, I don't know how you pulled it off, but you did.

[SlashXp3]

Congrats !

[triforceguru]

I want to thank Inle cause she was the best leader anyone could have and the organizers that spent a bunch of time on this, job well done. :) Wonders about those prizes? hmm...

[x.Aqueous.x]

Congrats to all on the team :D you did a great job.

[gamertech]

Team Legend of Zelda: you guys did very well. You make us all proud. We couldn't have lost to a better team :D

And to the staff who busted their butts to make it all happen: Thank you. I was very impressed you managed to make it go as smoothly as it did (especially for the first time). Also impressive was the variety of events. Bravo. Don't let my earlier complaints (over which I've received plenty of hate mail) give the impression that it was anything less than a valiant effort by all involved.

Good show, folks! Great win, Team LoZ!

[Alice!]

Excellent job Zelda dudes. Ya'll totally earned it.

[Shak]

Congratulations to Legs of Zeddle! :^:

So, have I missed the announcements of the winners of the creativeness games? Like art, jokes, roasts etc?

[Majin]

They were posted in the elympics forum before it was removed (during the last game).

Try checking the recycle bin.

Fake Edit: I lied. They are not there. Must have been a hard delete since post counts were off.

Working on it...

[Ultimate Chaos]

lmao, don't tell me that's the one thing you all forgot to plan! heh....

[CounterBlow]

Not bad. The game needs some tweaks, but that's understandable considering it's the first ever eLympics. Taking that into account it wasn't too shabby.

Congrats Team Zelda.

[Supa Scandalous]

Kudos to Shadow., Aphrodite, Isis, marasamune, and Coleman, and to everyone else on putting their time into this.

Congrats go out to Team Legend of Zelda on their victory.

a thanks goes out to the organizers of this event because it sure was a lot of fun. i hope we dont have to wait as long as the real olympics for another elympics.

[PowerofChaos]

Thank you all. It was a great game. All of you were great so a congrats to you all and to the the one who made the game and organized:Shadow., Aphrodite, Isis, marasamune, and Coleman for making this great game. And it was a close one.

[Insane man]

I had fun and while my team ddin't win i must say the game were well oragnized by Isis, Shadow, Coleman, Aphrodite, marasamune. I realy like this and hope to see it continue in the future. Congrats to team Zelda on the win.

Ah well there you go, I was using my s-modly powers to access restricted material and didn't even realise it. Here is that winning joke in full:

young Aussie lad moved to London and went to Harrods looking for a job. The manager asked, "Do you have any sales experience?"

The young man answered, "Yeah, I was a salesman back home."

The manager liked the Aussie so he gave him the job. His first day on the job was challenging and busy, but he got through it.

After the store was locked up, the manager came down and asked "OK, so how many sales did you make today?"

The Aussie said "One."

The manager groaned and continued "Just one? Our sales people average 20 or 30 sales a day. How much was the sale for?"

"£101 237.64" The Aussie replied.

The manager choked and exclaimed £101 237.64? What the hell did you sell him?"

"Well, first I sold him a small fish hook, then a medium fish hook, and then, I sold him a new fishing rod. Then I asked him where he was going fishing and he said down at the coast, so I told him he would need a boat, so we went down to the boat department and I sold him that twin-engined Power Cat. Then he said he didn't think his Honda Civic would pull it, so I took him down to car sales and I sold him the 4 x 4 Suzuki".

The manager, incredulous, said "You mean to tell me....a guy came in here to buy a fish hook and you sold him a boat and 4x4?".

"No no no......he came in here to buy a box of tampons for his wife and I said........."Well, since your weekend's f*cked, you might as well go fishing.""

Personally I thought the third joke was the best, at least it got the biggest laugh out of me, but all three were good.

[Ayen]

Aphrodite's quote contains the link to it.
um, I'm not a mod. I can't access it.

sry, nvr mnd, didn't see the above post.:blush:

[Inlé_rah]

Oh. I know I've said this to some of them, but I don't want to miss anyone. Thanks Brig, Kat, Cole, Shadow. and mara for all the work you put into this. You guys really pulled off something amazing. :)

[Armageddon Sunset]

Congrats Team Zelda!

anyways which joke was third? my won second. but first place was a good one.

[.ace]

nice job team zelda, i bet next elympics everyone will want to join your team xP

[Isis]

lmao, don't tell me that's the one thing you all forgot to plan! heh....
No, I know what the prize is. Its just that Blind Guardian is sick and I don't know how to fix what I want. So I'm having to wait until he feels like getting up and either telling me how to do it or getting on the computer.

[Crazy Jamie]

anyways which joke was third? my won second. but first place was a good one.
Well I can actually remember it because I liked it so much:

Two men are sitting next to eachother in an airport. Both have black eyes, so naturally this sparks some conversation.

"So, how did you get yours?" asked the first man.
"It was really silly," replied the second," I was at the desk paying for a ticket, and I meant to say to the girl 'can I have two tickets for Pittsburgh please' and it came out 'can I have two pickets for Tittsburgh' so she hit me. How did you get yours?"
"Same kind of thing," said the first man," I was sitting at the kitchen table having breakfast this morning, and I meant to say to my wife 'could you please pass the cornflakes' and it came out as 'you ugly bitch you've ruined my life.'"
Credit goes to Hero of Time for that one.

[CounterBlow]

What happened to Zelden's roast? That was the best, in my opinion, but when I looked at the roasts the next day it was gone...

[Aphrodite]

Zelden's didn't count because Ninty3 had already wasted Harvest Moon's roast.

[Air Head]

which posts won the Flaming contest for team Vash?

[Addicted to Oi!]

Great work, Team LoZ. You guys deserve it. But watch Illuyad make a comeback next year!

[Haze]

Congrats to team L of Z, it was quite the suprise at the end. Good job guys. :)

[Zazu]

Congrats to Team Legend of Zelda! (This was my second choice for a team, and it seems I should've went with you guys:D)

Now it's not just a game with a legend, but a team with a legend.:link:

If you still need a prize idea, I wouldn't mind having a triforce forever under my name, a bit like the blood stained dagger/banana from previous forum wide games. :link:

Woops, missed the second page. I'm curious, is there a thread or anything with all winning jokes/art etc? What was the first place joke?

There is, but I don't think you can get to it...

First place joke (I thought that Jamie had already posted this in this thread, but I might be mistaken).

A young Aussie lad moved to London and went to Harrods looking for a job. The manager asked, "Do you have any sales experience?"

The young man answered, "Yeah, I was a salesman back home."

The manager liked the Aussie so he gave him the job. His first day on the job was challenging and busy, but he got through it.

[User]

Haha, great joke, think I've heard it before a long time ago. You're right about the thread, I don't have permissions to read any of the links in Aphrodite's post, maybe move it somewhere we can all read it?

<---- OOO, MEDAL SHINY!

It looks kind of like a bomb with 3 long mutlicoloured fuses coming out of it to me. I was also curious, is there going be a different thing next year for the eLympics winners, or the same little medal? It'd be nice is there was something to distinguish which year we won it, and would avoid problems when we win again next year :P!

Something which shows that we won it on team LoZ would be nice too, just another thought.

Congrats, Team LoZ. What was the 2nd place joke? And the third one I liked as well.

[Armageddon Sunset]

My joke was 2nd.....here it is:

A train hits a bus load of Catholic school girls and they all perish.
They are all in heaven trying to enter the pearly gates past St.
Peter. St. Peter asks the first girl, "Jessica, have you ever had any
contact with a penis?" She giggles and shyly replies, "Well I once
touched the head of one with the tip of my finger." St. Peter says,
"OK, dip the tip of your finger in The Holy Water and pass through
the gate." St. Peter asks the next girl the same question, "Jennifer
have you ever had any contact with a penis?" The girl is a little
reluctant but replies, "Well once I fondled and stroked one." St.
Peter says,"OK, dip your whole hand in The Holy Water and pass
through the gate." All of a sudden there is a lot of commotion in the
line of girls, one girl is pushing her way to the front of the line.
When she reaches the front of the line St. Peter says, "Lisa! What
seems to be the rush?" The girl replies, "If I'm going to have to
gargle that Holy Water, I want to do it before Tiffany sticks her
ass in it."

[Cytosine]

Oh yeah, I remember that one. I still think the third place one was the best.
