I have created a first draft consolidated Geolympiad Games Bid page.
Now anyone can bid for any given games, winter or summer, in one place. We can “close” bidding and voting after some minimum number of bids and/or votes are received. I am tentatively recommending 2 minimum bids, and 20 minimum votes total, or 10 minimum votes for a single city.
Feedback and comments are welcome - either down below or on the new page’s Talk page. This is meant to be a community project, so other people’s ideas are welcome.
I have created a link to a bid for Tarott, 2008 because joschi81 mentioned he intended to do this. I will probably have my city Villa Constitución do a bid for the 1970s - that seems to fit the developmental arc of the city.
Keep in mind as we develop bids that the games will “rotate” to different continents and regions (to prevent a single region monopolizing the games), so as the tables and bids get “filled in” other possibilities will be constrained. Think about this as you decide when you want to date your city’s bid. For example, since Quentinsburgh, Tarephia, has won the 2016 bid, Tarephian cities should not bid for 2012 nor for 2020.

Thanks for your work, Luciano. Yes, Tarott wants to host the 2008 summer games. I will work on that during the next days…

Great, Luciano, I bet will have lots of fun with those competitions! Something that happens a lot of times in the real Olympic games is the repetition of the unsuccessful bids of a certain city, do you think there should be a maximum number of attempts or multiple bids are ok?
Neo Delta, for example, would like to try the 2018 winter games in East Zaudge and maybe the 2012 and 2008 summer games in Old City (although the fact that Old City tried again in 2016 seem rather unrealistic). What do you think?
