OOC: Orders Sent
To the World
From Greece
We would like to purpose the opening of new Olympic Games in the Spirit of Harmony and Good Will. We would like to host the first set of these new Olympic Games in our Historic city of Athens in 1924. We would have competitions of skill such as Long Distance Running, Swiming, Diving, Wrestling, Sprinting, Javelin, Shot Put, Diskess (sp?) and many other events. We invite all nations around the world to prepare their athletes for this historic and honorable competition. We would also like to purpose a tentative schedule for the future sites.
Veinna Austria 1928
London England 1932
Berlin Germany 1936
Moscow Russia 1940
Paris France 1944
Baltimore USCA 1948
Ottawa Canada 1952
The Boer Republic would be happy to send amateur athletes. However, you certainly plan far into the future. Are you sure that is wise? The economic state of the world may change dramatically by the time that these years arrive.
If people don't send in orders on time, what happens?
