Back when the Pax Nova Games were redone and the current voting system established, a set of continental games was also established. These games were to be like the Pan American Games, the African Games, and so on: multi-sport international competitions between the countries of each continent. Sadly, during the move to the new wiki, the pages were never brought back. I've written a proposal on my sandbox for the new structure and history of the three games (Pan-Ulethan, Pan-Tarephian, and Pan-Archantan), and would appreciate community feedback. Eventually, after whatever feedback and changes are proposed, I'd like to put them to a vote!

Hey! I took a look and I gotta say you made quite the solid plan! I think it would be a good way to let mappers who may not have a big enough city to host a Pax Nova Game to still make Multi-Sport mapping, plus it can help expand the Pax Nova Games as a whole.

Definitely a great idea. It's got a solid base, and as someone who will probably never have a city large enough to host a Pax Nova Games in any potential future territory, I appreciate the proposed opportunity to still be able to host a multi-sport event. It's important that people are given the same opportunities to participate in collaborative mapping projects as everyone else (where possible), and this proposal really sticks the landing for that with providing a framework for even more smaller events for those who really just don't like or can't (territory, climate restrictions) map large enough cities for these events. -- [[User:Waffledogefern|Waffledogefern]] ([[User talk:Waffledogefern|talk]]) 02:29, 15 March 2025 (UTC)

Back when the Pax Nova Games were redone and the current voting system established, a set of continental games was also established. These games were to be like the Pan American Games, the African Games, and so on: multi-sport international competitions between the countries of each continent. They were also supposed to be less strict in their application/creation process than the Pax Nova Games. Sadly, during the move to the new wiki, the pages were never brought back. I've written a proposal on my sandbox for the new structure and history of the three games (Pan-Ulethan, Pan-Tarephian, and Pan-Archantan), and would appreciate community feedback. Eventually, after whatever feedback and changes are proposed, I'd like to put them to a vote!

The Proposal - Please Read!

I'd also like to note that since these games would be quite large in scale due to how many countries are on each continent, I'd like to have a space on the wiki page for other regional games that are created either by groups of mappers in a given region (eg: the "Axian Games" or "Harda Games") or by an international organization (eg: "ASUN Games," "Commonwealth Games" etc), which could have whatever voting/organizational structure the involved mappers want.

Discuss below!
