What are the games?
In the spirit of the Olympics, we have decided to have our own games that will run for two weeks beginning at the end of July. They will be a variety of events ranging from Runescape events to Xbox and PC events. Here is a list of the events.

Team Dungeoneering Race- Teams will start at the same time and make their way through a Large Dungeon set on difficulty depending on the team size. First team to finish wins.
Singles Dungeoneering Race- A competitor from each team will make their way through a medium sized dungeon, the team with the fastest time wins.
Daily Skill Competition- Each day there will be a different skill selected, and the team's gains of experience in that skill will be totaled. The team with the most experience for the day wins that day. The gold medal will be given to the team with the most days won.
Total Skill Competition- The total gains of experience by the team members throughout the games will be totaled. The team that gained the most experience over the course of the games will win.
Solo Bossing- A single member from each team will fight a boss selected by the judges. The boss will be the same for all competitors, barring a handicap. The person with the best time wins.
Team Bossing- The whole team will fight a boss selected by the judges. The team with the best time will win.
Amazing Race- A footrace across a selected area of Runescape, the first one to the finish line wins.
Fight Pits- A competitor from each team will be pitted against all the rest in the Fight Pits mini-game.
Farming Competition- A member from each team will send someone to grow the most crops they can in 1 plot. The crop will be selected by the judges. The person with the greatest harvest will win.

Mobilising Armies- A member from each team will face another team in the Mobilising Armies mini-game, in a bracket competition.

Bonfires last a set amount of time depending on the first log lit, it has nothing to do with how many logs are added.

I know it sounds confusing, but it will make sense one the event details are revealed.

The team that is most alert with the bonfires and relights it almost immediately as it extinguishes without any hesitation would win.

At least that's how I understood it.

Couldn't have said it better, but there's an extra twist to make it even more interesting
