Olympic Fan Darcy Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 Probably slow down with the contests. It's probably not the best time to start the contest especially one as big as this. Good luck though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord David Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 He stole my blimmin Gamesbids.com logo! And modified it! This is not the first contest. This would be one of God knows how many. Come back during the Easter break, where there might be some interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord David Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 I mean, really leave it till the Easter break. Just don't mention or start anything now, or else it's bound to end up like other failed attempts at this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eternalcobi Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 Man, that's freakingly difficult for a n00b! Even for somebody living in an Caribbean island whose economy is 98.72% possible for a TOTAL COLLAPSE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even for somebody living in an Caribbean island whose economy is 98.72% possible for a TOTAL COLLAPSE I'm very confused by this comment. Enlighten?

Branden Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 How can I throw a city into the ring? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternalcobi Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Mr. Bernham, what I'm saying is that generating a bid file all by myself is a major headache for the most inexperienced in the olympic bids, as for understanding those in an environment full of juvenile slang. I am referring to have some assistance as I'm "on training wheels" Plus, after being host of the 1979 Pan American games, the Puerto Rican capital city of San Juan once bidded for the 2004 olympics before being kicked out for the shortlist in April 1997, being elected to Athens in September that same year. I am interested for the island to bid for the 2030 Summer YOG, but as the economy is readying for its imminent collapse, at least my intent in preparing the bid book, having very limited knowledge in urban planning would be a different story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.bernham Posted February 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 Well this year we will be focusing on the 2028 Winter Games. I will announce the three cities very soon. You can work with a partner or by yourself, as long as you meet deadlines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord David Posted February 12, 2014 Report Share Posted February 12, 2014 There's no such thing as the 2028 Winter Games. Just come back during Easter. I might put up a competition by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure why, I have a few PMs, but I'm not sure what my limit. It would be easier to just comment the city here. Note that I will only be taking it into consideration.

If Vancouver, Sochi, etc. can host the Winter Olympics Boston could do it as well. I don't understand the logic you are using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand the logic you are using. I'm sorry, but your logic seems to be off. Something that Sochi and Vancouver all had were mountains, Boston does not have that.

eternalcobi Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 and if anybody can help me in looking for an adequate template for an Olympic bid book, then it'll be glad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The travel time between Boston and the mountains is similar to that of Vancouver and Whistler in the 2010 Games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
