To the other teams: all the best in getting everything together for the MO - we look forward to running with you in just under 12 hours!
'til then!

Good luck tomorrow, everyone! I'm really looking forward to it.
I should be asleep as I have to get up early. See you all on the live webcasts, I hope!

Going to bed now. SO tired. But what a great night-evening-morning-afternoon - whatever we had together!
Ariadne asked the teams to send their videos to James's "drop box", where Kai will pick them up. I have also set up a YouTube group (like ThomasBookmore did for the Oath Videos) where we can collect our MO documentations:

Good night, everyone.
And congratulations to our successful teams!!!
PS All of my videos and photos uploaded to YouTube an Flickr. Run a search for tag "lostring" and sort after "Date Added".

I tried to arrange 7-circuit, but I couldn't.
Although Eli wrote we need not feel obligated , some members had started feeling like running 7-circuit. Half of the team members including the runner got together six hours before the MO, because the starting time 6:30am was so early for public transportations. So some members thought we could train ourselves for 7-circuit. But we felt a panic, because the location we were planning to use was unexpectedly occupied by a lot of tents for a big event (Yosakoi-dance). And it was raining, which made it difficult for us to look for a new location in the neighborhood. At last, about two hours before the MO, we found a place, but it was not large enough for 7-circuit, and we had no time to draw 7-circuit and to train ourselves.

I just want to take a moment to say how awesome this was. From our end, it was such a blast getting to meet you guys and train with you, and then to compete together against the world! I had so much fun, and I hope the ending of the Lost Ring doesn't cause us to stop being in touch.
And from the global end, it was a blast competing with you all, especially Atalanta and team Wellington. We basically had the ultimate rivalry, and we were SO EXCITED when we finally beat you on the 3-circuit, but then Tokyo pulled through by .08 seconds. That's just... wow. And it came to a high point finally on the final run when Atalanta and I both broke through the wall at the same point . Clearly Wellington and SF are closer than we thought. Forget time changes, we may as well be the same place.
I had so much fun with these Olympics, and I want you all to know how great of an experience it was for me--thanks to you all.

I echo Dav's sentiments.
I saw many more than six strengths demonstrated by all of you in this game. Thank you, everyone.

By the way, Dav, did you design your t-shirt yourself? It looks pretty awesome!

Why thank you, yeah, I designed it. I desperately wanted something as a keepsake from these Multiversal Olympics beyond videos and memories--a T-shirt was the perfect option.

Cool! Can you post a clearer pic of it somewhere? I didn't get a great look at it in the video, I could just see that it was nice .

A job for a true Mythopoeia that was! Did you have all your teammates sign it?

OMG Those pictures from the spectator, whoever he/she is, are both hilarious and epic. I like them so much
