      There could also be different endings depending on how much of the city was destroyed at and after the conclusion of the games
      Best ending would be very minimal, max 5% or less of destruction and using only peaceful, non-violent means to quell the protests
      Worst ending would be total ruin of the city, use of violent means and maybe even destruction of the games themselves

      The games are meant to be a tourism investment, which in theory, can be used to fund public works, since that actually generates income, while handouts don't (or atleast generate them to a meaningful amount).
      Of course, 3rd world countries participating in the Olympics typically inflate the costs associated due to corruption, which creates a system where the investment isn't paying for itself.

    It’s a simple mistake...in order for the torch to receive the blessings of the gods, rather than their ire, they need to restart that non-existent tradition of *virgins* kindling the flame.
    If the gods are expecting virgins...you give them virgins.

    Coming back to watch an old video and had the nostalgia trip of the life time. I just barely made it out of my classroom when the Earthquake happened in 2008. I was a primary schooler then but I remember so much of what happened afterwards. Still kinda salty that they managed to rebuild the entire school by Sept and we had to go back to school on time.
