Hi all, this seemed the most relevant place to post this
As some of you know but most of you probably don't, as well as being a TWCer I'm involved in the much smaller forum of Exilian. In 2008 and 2012 Exilian ran a forum Olympics type event, the Atheniad, competing between forums (TWC, TWH and Exilian in 2008, just TWC vs Exilian in 2012). As the Olympics are coming round again, we're running the third Exilian Atheniad from Aug 5 to Aug 21, and it would be great to have a TWC team for us to compete against (and presumably to utterly trash us in the gaming contests as happened last time) again!
The events list is as follows:

The main organising area on Exilian is here, and the TWC organising area on Exilian is here. Would be great to see any of you who want to take part and do a bit of friendly gaming (or competitive screenshotting or poetry etc!)
