The Independent Olympics

So myself and Ace been thinking of different ways to get everyone together and doing a little action RPing. Considering that the vast majority of our characters here are Independents, I came up with a loose idea for a competition.

Basically the syndicate will stage and host a variety of challenges, jobs and competitions, in order to find the best of the best. Major cash prizes and a lucrative contract with the syndicate will be up for grabs, as well as business exclusivity. A select group of Independents will be chosen to take part; smugglers, hunters and mercs thought to be at the top of their games, as well as those who may feel they have something to prove. A variety of different challenges will be set for the individuals, along with competitions of a larger scale, where our characters will be in direct competition with each other.

So if you have any further ideas, or think you would like to sign your char up, post and let me know. I'll be thrashing out a few different ideas for challenges that would suit our characters.

I love this idea. Our very own version of the Kessel Run or the Boonta Eve Classic... Awesome! Sign me up!

Excellent! It should be a bit of fun for us. I hope to get something at least started by the weekend, even just an opening. As for the rest of you Independents, sign up and join the race! Ain't no chickens here.

This sounds interesting....very interesting. I dont think Jaren can openly participate in it though. However....dont we need to put Jaren and Tylana's H&S groups in competition with each other, no? Well perhaps it could be this....just an idea. Or maybe a smaller version of this. They are sort of blackmailed or sort of forced to participate in very life threatening events?

So here's roughly what I've got so far. Hosted by Devall and taking place in the Crimson Palace, owned and operated by Bren Cora, and you can read about that here. It seems like the perfect spot for our criminal miscreants to congregate, size each other up and get the games started. Sign up for the Independent games will be done there, and in character. Some Independents might have received invitation, others might have heard about it through colleagues or peers and have decided to give it a shot to further their reputations. Details on location, facilities etc to follow.

There will be five categories of competition. Pilot Skills, Combat (more than likely hand to hand), Marksmanship, Seek and Destroy (will explain more about this later) and a very evil, dark and twisted Treasure/Scavenger Hunt.

This is a very good idea. Jaren wouldn't exactly be able to compete and it wouldn't be Tylana's thing either. It would be a good way to get them involved realistically.

Shayna ran a large sharpening stone down the length of one of her Wookiee-made ryyk blades. The ringing tone made as the stone left the blade's tip hung in the air for several seconds. It had been awhile since last she competed against the best scum the galaxy had to offer. Unfortunately for the galaxy, even the best scum was still only scum. Shayna had no trouble cleaning it up either. Sheathing the blade, she stood to her feet. "Let the games begin..."

Yup... Definately ready to see where this goes.
