Olympics
The Olympics are a series of games originally proposed and organized by emrekn, and in modern times a structured Olympic Committee. The main idea of the event is to have the participating settlements build their own minigames for their part of the Olympics, and towns and individuals may send teams to compete at the games. These games are then played with one participant from each group over a number of days and locations across the server.
Main Events
These events are the traditional team-based annual Olympic games. These events see multiple teams compete across multiple days in many events.

The First Olympic Games were a major server event that took place on the weekend of 2 and 3 May 2020. Southern Hollow was the official host of this event and held the closing ceremony and fireworks show, however events took place throughout many towns on the server.
