Let's bring the Ultimus XLIII to a truly unique and special place that really deserves to hold the most spectacular sim sports event in the world, let's bring it too Easter Island!
For those who are less well versed in world geography Easter Island is found in the Pacific Ocean, 1,200 miles off the coast Chile. It was first settled by Polynesian people around 800AD.
The story of Easter Island is a sad one and one that I will try to briefly explain. The people of Easter Island initially thrived, creating an industrious culture which can be seen in the nearly 1,000 giant statues called moai you can find dotted around the island. However, too much of the island's forests were cleared, washing away precious soil, and this combined with introduction of the Polynesian rat saw the extinction of many plants and animals, destroying the inhabitants natural supplies. (Please note this Ecocide theory is debated with competing theories that the destruction of the island's culture and environment was caused by European contact)
Now with such a sad history to the Island which today has a population that numbers under 8,000 people, surely we can use the powers of the ISFL to hold the Ultimus on the Island. This tournament would bring wealth, visitors and acclaim to Easter Island. People would come for the football and stay for the rich history, the giant head statues and relative isolation.
Now where will the game be held I hear you ask? Fear not because plans are in place to take SoFi Stadium, put it on floats and tow it all the way to Easter Island, I am sure this is possible (please don't check).
All that is left is for me to humbly ask you to put your support and votes behind bringing the Ultimus XLIII to the Pacific Ocean, to Easter Island!
