Sorry, but as i predicted, i wont be able to participate in opening ceremony and most likely i wont get into game for next 8 hours because one year is too short time for Three Rings to establish reliable fair and update system that will provide quality service to all players. Instead they just ignore the problem and expect a miracle that updates will go better and better while after removing mist energy there will be most likely more and more players.
--SPIRAL KNIGHTS OLYMPICS 2013!--- FANTASTIC PRIZES! - A CHANCE TO SHOW OFF YOUR GUILD! + OLYMPIC TOPUP EVENTS! (ART, WRITING!)
I cannot attend the opening ceremony due to the fact that my patch is taking nearly 2 hours. :/
Worst time for an update when something as this is suppose to happen... I'm stuck at 82% with 33Minutes... it took already like an hour to get from 70% to now. I can only imagine everyone else is trying to log back in. Sorry if I'm not there yet but Patch Update happened.
Well we got most of the Opening Ceremony Sorted and started the Games. I'm a bit disappointed we only got one LD Game Sorted (COULD ALL HOSTS PLEASE MAKE AN EFFORT TO ORGANIZE THEIR EVENT!!!) For the ALL events could all participating guilds (excluding Dauntless who are not able to play) meet in The Jempire GH (TBC) at 6 PM GMT - 10 PM GMT! Thursday 8th August 2013! If you can't make it please mail me in game or post it on the forum!

Upon Realising I won't be back from Swimming and the Gym at 6pm I may be there a bit late. Sorry for the Inconvenience but Sebastianseb will organise your Lockdown games for you :)
Greetings,
I'm impressed we were able to get more games done today, however, I am disappointed that none of the Blast Network Hosts were not here and were not able to get the Blast Network Done. Particular Thanks to Benightz and Kyanashi for helping out with other events that they didn't know they were doing until this evening due to the absence of other Hosts. Also a bit disappointed that there weren't any Trivia Hosts here as well. Please arrive tomorrow (Fri 9 Aug 2013) at 6pm GMT in the Reign of Fire GuildHall ON TIME!! Might I thank everyone for their co-operation and patience today while organizing the games!
Thanks,
Theoncomingfire
I think it's a bit of surprise to people when you release the time for the events the day before it's actually happening. I, for one, cannot make for any of my events at all, due to an 8 hour difference between our time zones...this sucks, because I didn't have a chance to participate in this last year, due to a busy schedule.
Yes, I do Apologise for that but I think having 4-5 Hours of SK Olympic Games at a certain Time everyday does help. However, if you tell me your guild and the events you're participating in then we could be able to sort a time suitable for you to play. Also, I am considering Organising the SK Winter Olympics in February 2014 so be on the lookout...
Forgot to Post this Up Yesterday: But at Day 3 Here's what we got so far...
Lockdown
*Rogue Lead the LD with 3 Points having played 3 games, winning 3 Games against The Cursed Wanderers, Dark Hearts as well as The Nights Watch and losing one Game to Aeons.
*Aeons are in Second at the moment having 2 Points and winning both their Games against The Cursed Wanderers and Rogue. Aeons have only played 2 Games at the moment.
*The Cursed Wanderers are in 3rd Place with 1 Point after Beating Dark Hearts and losing to Rogue and Aeons. The Cursed Wanderers have played 3 Games.
*Dark Hearts, The Nights Watch, Fearless Gods and Ominous still have yet to score. Dark Hearts have lost the two games they have played against Rogue and The Cursed Wanderers, while The Nights Watch who have only played one game, lost to Rogue. Fearless Gods and Ominous haven't played any LD Games Yet and therefore haven't scored Any points.

--MUSIC--
*For All you Music-Lovers (Like Myself :P) Knights are to create their own Spiral Knights Olympic Anthem to be played at the Closing Ceremony of the Spiral Knights Olympics. This Music may be carried on for generations if the Spiral Knights Olympics continue to live on.

I Think I got that Right. Guilds should collect their Prizes at the Opening Ceremony tomorrow at 8pm GMT (Re-Scheduled from 7pm GMT). The Fashion Results and Mini Olympic Results will be announced there as well. This Thread will be edited with the full results but might I take this time to say Thank You to all the guilds that participated and I hope you had an enjoyable time!
Theoncomingfire
I am afraid that I am the only one from cursed wanderers that know about this and collecting the prizes. Unfortunately, I can't make it to the ceremony. Can u please mail the prize to me, so I can give it to the guild? My in game name is : icecreamboy
@Icecreamboy: The Cursed Wanderers didn't win anything unfortunately. There was a bit of an argument over a CW race which eventually led to them forfeiting this 3rd Place Match but I'll mail you in-game.
umm...so...Its after 8pm GMT...and theres no sign of Theon, or EoS's guild hall...
After saying I would be late yesterday, it seems I got home much later than expected due to traffic. I'm trying to load up on my other laptop but there are several different patches it's loading on. I'll try and be there anytime soon. If necessary, I will mail your guild your prizes. My sincere apologies Again. As for Trivia and BN just keep in touch with me. Thanks!
Will there be the closing ceremony today? If so, I'm looking forward to it :)
Yep. Kyanashi, A Games Maker has sent all the GM's Mail :)
Theon, if you're living in England, you should know that England is currently using British summer time (BST) which is +1GMT.
I think everyone knows the times they're meant to be there. If not Mail me if in any doubt.
Well! What a Ceremony to Match a Fantastic Event. It's been an honor to organize the Spiral Knights Summer Olympics Games 2013 an event which has been fun and fantastic for everyone. Congratulations to our Champions, The Nights Watch who came first with 37 Guild Points, followed by our Runners-Up Rogue and Third Place Fearless Gods! Fashion Results will be Posted on the thread but well done to Everyone who participated. The Winners of the Fashion were The Nights Watch followed by Aurora and then Rogue. If I haven't given your guild their prize (e.g. Guild that were not there at the Ceremony please mail me in-game). I won't be on Spiral Knights for some time during Summer so I'd like to say well Done to All. If you would like to sign up to a free Monthly Newsletter on the Spiral Knights Olympics and Plans and Preparations for the World Lockdown Championships in October and Winter Olympics in February 2014 please Mail me. Also if you would like to join the Newly Formed Spiral Knights Olympics Committee please Mail Me In-Game. As I first Said it has been an honor to host the Spiral Knights Summer Olympic Games 2013 and I hope that it'll be the start of many more community Events!
