thatsnotmypuppy Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 OK so stay with me for the long haul on this one. The set up - The IOC has received a record number of entries for the 2020 Olympic Games - after Tokyo and Munich's wins for 2016 and 2018 - Rio, Madrid, Havana, Toronto, Cape Town, Istanbul, Buenos Aires, San Francisco, Dubai, Prague, Paris, Caracas, Stockholm and Doha have all submitted bids for IOC consideration. However after a massive stroke Jacque Rogge is deader than a New Kids On The Block comeback tour. Through a massive amount of shady underhanded dealings and considerable amounts of returning from the dead, Uday Hussein has risen to lead the IOC. He has dismissed out of (decomposed) hand all the 2020 bidders and is demanding the Games go somewhere utterly stupid. You see Uday wants to kill off the Olympics to promote the Asian Games as the global sporting flag bearer. I know, I know - but still. He is evil and has been dead for a good 10 or so years at this point. He has put together a list of cities that he demands must host the Games - all of them fetid, rat arse helll holes. Your job is to pick a city and with your imagination you must transform it into a bid worthy place. Your choices are - Khartoum, SUDAN Mecca, SAUDI ARABIA Baghdad, IRAQ Jerusalem, ISRAEL/WEST BANK PALESTINE THINGY New Tehran (after the old one has been decimated by Iraqi forces), EAST IRAQ (Formally Iran) Ashgabad, TURKMENISTAN Lahore, PAKISTAN Kampala, UGANDA Casablanca, MOROCCO Guayaquil, ECUADOR Vientiane, LAOS Urumqi, CHINA Minneapolis, USA Others may be considered only if they are truly pointless/evil enough. So claim a city, gimme a logo, send me a one page outline and I'll let the ghost (as he has not risen yet) of Uday pick a shortlist! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatsnotmypuppy Posted August 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Quite simple really - Even a re-animated ten year old corpse of a madman can see Abuja is a worthless battle to engage in. However he will accept Abuja if you insist - but prefers the murderous chaos of Lagos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faster Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 I'm kinda insulted by Jerusalem and Casablanca. They are nice cities. I will take Jerusalem though, no one is better at building quick settlements, I mean Athlete Villages then our Israeli friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatsnotmypuppy Posted August 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 You have to realise that it's Uday's opinions - most of the Arab world had issues with the Moroccan royal family for instance, and obviously Jerusalem (the Palestinian/Arab sections) is awful. Baghdad made the list as I am sure he'd be pissed about losing control, etc etc. Grain of salt people! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotguy Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Think il miss this one out guys, i got a lot of good ideas and plans which i think are best used when we have a realistic gamesbid competition. Will be fun to see the plans for these places though. Good luck guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatsnotmypuppy Posted August 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Lame Scotguy - this is the opportunity to take an old city and basically re-invent it. It's a silly premise with a realistic conclusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotguy Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 ok TNMP I will choose Ashgabad as my city When is the deadline? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatsnotmypuppy Posted August 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 We'll wait a few days until some more cities are claimed and we'll go from there. So the following are claimed - Ashgabad - SCOTGUY Casablanca - MO RUSH Jersualem - FASTER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stryker Posted August 13, 2009 Report Share Posted August 13, 2009 Now this something unique. Shame I don't have more time or else I'd go for it. If I was entering, my choices would either be let's say . . . Rangoon, Myanmar (or whatever it's called now) or Freetown, Sierra Leone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatsnotmypuppy Posted August 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 I think I'll claim Mecca - let's see if Jerusalem can persevere against the full weight of the Muslim world! Mecca 2020 - Inshallah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krow Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 you know, i was just thinking about shitty gb fake bid competitions because i logged into yahoo messenger for the first time in three years and apparently i have ryan from here'son my buddy list. must have been from when he kicked me out of the gboc bc tnmp cheated on dubai's winter bid which we worked on together. but alls i wanted to do was connect with an old friend (from here, incidentally) so we could hit the town. i don't have a bid or anything to contribute, bc i was thinking casablanca was the best bet. when i first read that, i was going to steal it and put screens from the movie in my bid book and litter it with posthumous quotes from ingrid and humphrey, but mo stole it, so w/e.

rjmac Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 perhaps you haven't seen the list of sell out for the New kids tour???? Sold out in many cities in North America!!!!! Not that I am a fan, but I cannot understand where you were going with that quote? How much of this post was based on fiction? Why get people ALL up in arms for what you really don't know?

thatsnotmypuppy Posted August 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 New Kids cancelled their Australian tour as my fellow Aussies realised paying $170 ($140US) was insane. Step by step oh baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotguy Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 I would like to appeal to TNMP that Mecca 2020 be disqualified, the rules layed down by yourself state that a city should be claimed, a logo given and a one page bid summary provided. Mecca 2020 has supplied a 3 page document, therefore giving it an unfair advantage over others including mine which has the one page that was stated in the rules. I await your decision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatsnotmypuppy Posted August 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Hmm, considering page one has 2 words and 4 numbers on it, page two is a map with about 9 words on it and some pictograms and page 3 is what? 8 lines of text? I could squeeze it into one page - and there is no logo as muslims (especially those scary Wahhabi ones) dont do idols and stuff. However I have broken the rules. I will defer to Uday for guidance... OK he just tried to rip off my head and fuckk my throat - so no joy there. Maybe I'll start a poll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakydoky Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Can I claim Jerusalem. I'll now make a bid up for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatsnotmypuppy Posted August 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Jerusalem is already claimed but I welcome competitng bids - maybe do one from the Palestinian point of view? Oh oh oh! Do Gaza! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
