baron-pierreIV Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Unless credit financing is extended, I regret to announce that the glorious Monaco-Abuja 2020 cannot proceed with its bid. We are BANKRUPT!! Ferklempt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Steel Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Wow. I'm almost afraid to post this after seeing Lord David's extensive bid, but here we go... http://docsteel.deviantart.com/art/Pittsbu...ision-100348730 "Bridging Past and Future" Thanks to Lord David who, unbeknownst to him, gave me an upload site. Unfortunately, I could not work around the wonky PNG images. Please to ignore them as best you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Steel Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 Well, we only have two submitted books and no other replies. What a competition! I took some time to revise my bid book. http://docsteel.deviantart.com/art/Pittsbu...k-NEW-100582985 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Steel Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 sorry guys, just recongised that we have another competition right now - I wil ltry to take a look into the bid-books later (I am just preparing to leave for work) Quite all right. When you get the chance to look at them, make sure to look at mine at this link, the revised version. And try not to be too hard on me, since I am a complete newbie at all of this.

Citius Altius Fortius Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 Pittsburgh I think it is a great bid – especially for someone, who did something like this for the first time. The layout of the bid book is good and I like how the city and the venues are presented – furthermore the reader get an impression about the legacy… I miss a little bit an explanation why does Pittsburgh want to welcome the youth of the world or why should the IOC award them exactly to Pittsburgh. Vienna will follow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citius Altius Fortius Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 Vienna The layout is fantastic - LordDavid sticks to the requirements of the official IOC-questionaire - the maps of the venue and transportation are very good!

I don't disagree. I spent the majority of my time on the venues, so all of the other aspects of the bid were secondary. Thank you for the praise as well. I'll make sure to implement your suggestions if there is another bid competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citius Altius Fortius Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 DocSteel - maybe you are interested in some of the fantasy bid competion of the past (I don't know if the link still works): 2016 Summer Olympics 2018 Winter Olympics 2026 FIFA World Cup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Steel Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 DocSteel - maybe you are interested in some of the fantasy bid competion of the past (I don't know if the link still works):2016 Summer Olympics 2018 Winter Olympics 2026 FIFA World Cup Thanks for the links. I did study Boston and Miami's 2016 bids, which were #1 and #2 in the vote, to help me in putting together the non-venue parts of my Pittsburgh bid.

Citius Altius Fortius Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 I forgot something concerning Pittsburgh: I think it would have been better if you had used a pic of a "proposed" Olympic stadium instead of a real pic of the "Heinz Field" stadium - the Olympic Stadium is the heart of a bid - the current Heinz Field stadium isn't really something special and therewith I would had used something different...

Citius Altius Fortius Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 It seems that his competition wasn't accepted as it would have deserved - that is a pitty - I wonder why the proposed bids weren't not completed... DocSteel and LordDavids bids would have deserved more acknoledgement... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably true, but there's nothing I could find that really portrays my vision of Heinz Field. Much of the current infrastructure would remain the same, but refurbished and expanded. It seems that his competition wasn't accepted as it would have deserved - that is a pitty - I wonder why the proposed bids weren't not completed...DocSteel and LordDavids bids would have deserved more acknoledgement... I agree. There were seven proposed cities sent, so I expected at least five books. And where did Aronious go? This is his thread, and he hasn't posted since September 10.

This is his thread, and he hasn't posted since September 10. I think this competition suffers extremely from the fact that our GamesBids is in a "calm period" right now - the forum was very active during the Beijing Olympics and we have had several great fantasy competition in the last year... It is really pitty that this fantasy competiton doesn't receive acknowledgement, which it would have deserved. Your Pittsburgh bid is a very good one for somebody, who did something like this for the first time. I just hope that you and Lord David won't loose heart to join another fantasy competition, due the poor acknowledgment this time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord David Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Where's Scotguy21? He said he done his already. This could still be a 3 way comp if he posts his bid book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
