Description

At the start of December we will be holding the RMNlypics! This is an event where you are arranged into four randomised teams and take part in different events over the course of the event. After it ends, judging of each event takes place and winners are announced!



It is pretty simple. Each person who signs up to this page will be randomly assigned a team. At the start a list of events will be placed. You will pick what you want to take part in and do those events over the course of the week. At the end, send in your pieces to Liberty via PM and they will be judged and given points based on their quality. The team with the most points will win and each person on that team will gain a first prize badge.


- You may not start until 00:01 GMT on Saturday the 2nd of December.
- You must send in your entries via PM to Liberty before 23:59 on Sunday the 10th of December.
- Each person in a team may add 1 (one) entry for each event only, unless otherwise stated under the event rules.
- All events are optional. Do not pressure your team mates into doing things they can't or don't want to do - some people have more time than others, after all.
- If you have any questions, just post them here.
- Signing up will end at midnight on the 3rd of December!
- You may use 2k or Tsuk!

NOTE: MOST OF THESE EVENTS WILL BE RPG MAKER 2000 BASED. THERE IS CURRENTLY A SALE ON FOR THE ENGINE IN STEAM AND LIKELY ONE ON HUMBLE BUNDLE TOO.

Team Quote
This is a team event where you create a quote for your team using the letters of your team mascot like an acrostic (example Mary - Mental And Racy, Yo!)




I recommend starting a new project and keeping all entries in that one folder. Name them clearly and include a list with the different entries you've included inside the project folder. This is to help cut down on large file downloads.

If, however, you haven't taken part in any of the events that require being played (such as battle creation or scenes) then just a folder with your entries clearly marked and a list will do instead.


Zip up and PM to Liberty before the time runs out on the 10th. If you forgot something and there's still time, you can PM the missing entry to me.



Judging will be done after all the entries have been received. Each entry will gain 1 point for their respective team, if they do not place as first, second or third.

First place entries will gain 7 points for their team.
Second place entries will gain 5 points for their team.
Third place entries will gain 3 points for their team.

There will be one winner per placing for each event, and at the end of the judging the points will be tallied. Teams will then be awarded badges and MS based apon how their overall team placed - from 1st to 4th.

That could be a neat break from doing my shit. I hope it would push me forward better than seflpushing.

If your on a team and have a task that asks you to share stuff, won't the difference between the legal and non legal versions cause problems?

I'm not so sure the illegal version of 2K is even allowed!
Teams don't work like that in this event.

There's no actual working on the same project-type thing. It's more "this event calls for silly generator faces, everyone who wants to makes a face to submit". Basically it's less collaboration and more like actual Olympics, where a team is more like your country and each event is separate. So you can have three people in the same team join an event and they could take the first, second and third placing.

Honestly, Tsuk is fine. 2k3 not so much for some parts because there's differences in not only the RTP but the engine too.

2k is currently on sale on steam for CHEAP AS SHIT prices.

Don't have much experience in this engine and my version seems as buggy as they come, but I'll give it a go.
There are actually changes in the rm2k engine so I'm curious how that'll translate.
I think I would be on the baisc main hero's team v:
I will make Alex a tru hero ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I'd love to give this a go (even though I don't have 2k... ^.^'), so count me in!
Also, if it's not too full yet, team Carol sounds like the place to be (witches are great)
I'm sad I missed the cheap as shit price for it.

Mostly out of nostalgia. I mean I have fond, fond memories of the hilariously awful game I tried to make when I was like 8 at a friend's house. XD

I'm looking forward to seeing what you guys make for the event! :)
So much familiar faces, can't wait!
Teams and Events are up!


For the record, you may still sign up, until the end of the 3rd!

TEAM ALEM GOES FOR THE GOLD. The A is for Alex, after all
DISCORD CHANNELS HAVE NOW BEEN ADDED FOR EACH TEAM

If you're not on RMN Discord, here's a link: https://discord.gg/ZfVSRZ9

Do an @liberty in #general or #rmnlympics rooms and let me know to put you in your respective groups. Shoot the shit, get together and strategise, bond with your team!

I forgot how time consuming the activities are.
I did this last time! I can totes do it again.
A link to the 2k RTP is now added to the event page, so there's no reason you can't use 2k/3 to do a few events (map events, etc). >.<)b
