The competitors had a chance to look at the games on offer throughout the week, and put forward their names if certain they could make it. Those that were unsure that they could make it or not, are able to just turn up to the event and they will be welcome to put their name down. The competitors were also filled in the what prizes are on offer! The chance to win either a gold, silver or bronze sash which come hand in hand with huge cash prizes! Not only that but the winning team is to win on million dubloons to share amongst themselves, aswell as the honour of taking home The Olympic Sword. The winners of the sword are offered the chance to host the next Olympic Games!
The Olympic Sword The ceremony also played debut for Vesper new national anthem under the reign of Deacon van Cocidius. The lyrics are very self centered, but they're also very well related to what's happening this week. Vespers National Anthem
Greenie save our gracious Baron,
Long live our noble Baron,
Greenie save our Baron!
Send him victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us,
Greenie save the Baron!
Not in this land alone,
But be Greenies mercies known,
From shore to shore!
Lord make the nations see,
That men should brothers be,
And form one family,
The wide world over!
With the ceremony over, the competitors were invited inside the Swaggers Inn for free drinks as paid by the Baron and Escaflowne. It was plain to see this is the biggest turnout the Swaggers as hosted since the turn of the new year, and the lack of staff really did show. Needless to say, the Olympics started with a blast, this is just what the land needs. Uniting all people across the land and showing, we're all just human. Tomorrow's Game!
BOXING!
