They would probaly differ between the social classes, with the upper classes favouring finesse, technique and intellect (fencing, chess or horsemanship) while the lower classes would favour brawn and endurance (tree climbing, strong-man weight lifting and boxing) ?? What kinds of sports would demi-humans compete in? And how would sports differ from one region to another? Ice-float-jumping in Ostland at winter time to kayaking in Ierendi in the summer? And how much of this would be considered a sport to compete in and not just a skill used in the daily life? :-) Jesper -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- [Post 2] Author : Spellweaver Date : 06-17-04 03:20 PM Just thought of this: Wasn't there somwhere in the Almanacs that some sort of Olympic Games were mentioned? What about games / competitions between national teams? :-) Jesper -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Downloaded from Wizards Community (http://forums.gleemax.com) at 05-10-08 09:26 AM.
