This thread is for brainstorming the Theme and Events the 10000 Games could contain.
At the moment, we a looking at having a 10000 Islands/Beach theme to the events.
Some other ideas so far:

I'll give some thought to the types of game/games we might offer. One thought might be to offer a single on-going event, like in the World Cup, only in a non-elimination, head-to-head format; concluding with our crowning both a regional and an individual nation Champion in the event. For example, Ater might use our dice roll function to determine the winner of an individual match between say, Herzil vs. Big Tex...
Ater:
Personally, I like having a range of different events so maybe we could have like a decathlon world cup type thing (I say decathlon because it matches up nicely with the 10 in 10000 islands, but we could use any number instead). Each nation could submit an athlete and then they would compete in a bunch of XKI themed events.
For example, round one might be a taco eating contest, round two might be a beach volleyball competition and so on. Each nation would receive points depending on how they place, or whether they win their match and who ever has the most points at the end is crowned grand champion. Each region would also have a regional champion.
Each stage would be set a few days apart so that people have time to check in. Perhaps we could get someone to interview the athletes between stages to help encourage some RPing. We could also encourage people to RP coaches or something like that for their athlete.
Another thought is instead of sending one athlete everyone would send two or three. Perhaps one representing each of Brawn, Brains and Beauty. Then, each athlete would compete in three events individually and then all of them in a big grand final.

Personally I like it best when there's several different disciplines (rather than just hockey, soccer etc), especially if some of the games are silly or weird. I like the idea of a 10ki/beach theme and I think it's nice if people send several athletes rather than one (it doesn't have to be as many as to the Wysteria games though). But we could have some of the athletes do double duty and participate in more than one discipline. The Brawns, Brains, Beauty thing sounds fun. Same with the interview idea.
Barry:
If we go with an Olympic events style for our games, I think a beach/water/islands approach is a natural for XKI.
For example, we could have individual events like (Blind?) Beach Volley Ball; Coconut Tree Climbing; Ananke's Muffin/Spoon Beach Dash; etc. If we have a decathlon or similar event, it could include various swimming/water events, like Shallow-Water Shark Evading, Rip-Tide Resistance Race, Jellyfish Collection & Cook Off Contest, Palm Tree & Reeds Sailboat Regatta, etc.,etc. Those aren't meant to be written in stone; but rather, examples of some of the good stuff we could do with it.
