View Full Version : Doperball V--Man, I'm bored

I have nothing to do. In an effort to keep myself from falling asleep, I hereby begin the next game of Doperball!
The rules, as previously posted by our illustrious Hal Briston ...
First, figure out what team you're on. This is determined by the first letter in your username --
Team 1: A B C G H I M N O S T U Y
Team 2: D E F J K L P Q R V W X Z
Once the game begins, the first person to post has the ball. You can do whatever you like with it, but you must end your post by passing the ball. The next poster is the person who caught the ball. If it's a teammate, great. If not, oh well, the other team has control.
IMPORTANT: When posting, you must either post the name of the person from whom you are getting the ball, or quote their post. This game creates a lot of cross-posting, so we need that quoting to follow who has legal possession of the ball.
In order to score, three consecutive teammates must touch the ball. When the third person has the ball, they can either toss it into the goal for a point, or pass it off to (hopefully) another teammate. If you choose to pass, and a teammate gets it, they can either toss it in for two points or they can pass as well. If a teammate catches this pass, they must put it in the goal for three points.
Be careful with all this extra-point passing however, because once you touch the ball you cannot touch it again until there is a score, or the opposing team gains control.
Once you score, the ball is tossed back into the middle and we begin again.
One other quick thing...if you're one of the first people to post on a new page, please copy and paste the "Usernames beginning with..." team listings (it's helpful to have it on each page, so you know who your teammates are).
Game is to 11, must win by two.
Let's go, people. Keep me entertained. :)

...straight to Hal. He jukes left around a defender, shakes off three opposing team members looking for a gang tackle, and then trips over his own feet when he notices the pantsless Draelin back upfield. The impact of the fall causes him to lose the Doperball, but fortunately, it dribbles straight into the goal!
Woohoo! First score! As is Doperball tradition, I hereby christen Team 1 The Flying Apteryxs!

The ball bounces off of Feydeau's head. WhyNot nabs the ball again, and looks around frantically for someone else on Team 2 to pass it too.
Giving up, she heaves it high in the air and runs to Draelin, offering her a bottle of mead and some very fine dark chocolate to take home with her. Bribery is really Team 2's only option at this point.

(Now, if Strinka actually had to say something along the lines of "I have gotten a point" to get a point, then s/he didn't and Team One didn't get that point, in which case I still have the ball.)
Can someone explain this all to me, using very small words and possibly some hand gestures? And go slowly, it may take a while for it to all sink in.

You know, just looking at the two teams, the alphabetic distribution seems heavily in favor of Team One. We're now in the third variation of team distribution, and each of them seems to cause problems.
First, we did:
Team 1 - A C E G...
Team 2- B D F H...
Then we tried:
Team 1 - A B E F...
Team 2- C D G H...
Each of them wound up very one-sided. When the current method was first tried, success! The teams were very well-balanced, and it was a nice, tight game. Since then, however, it seems that the balance has fizzled.
I can now only conclude one thing: Team 2 are a buncha quitters. :p

Okay, we only need one point to win, so I'll put the ball into play for what I hope is the final time. After sending it through the Rain Forest Car Wash for a thorough cleaning and waxing, I take it to Hobby Lobby and place it on a display shelf, where it is picked up by...gardentraveler, who climbs a stepladder to get the ball (did you have to put it on such a high shelf?), loses her balance and watches as the ball goes bouncing down the aisle, out the front door, and out into the parking lot where it bounces on a car and then...

...into the hands of twicks, who, although only recently awakened from a very nice nap, thank you for asking, is alert enough to tap-dance to the goal line and spike the ball.
We score! We win! We're cool! Team B -- who has yet to name themselves -- are a bunch of wankers!

I can't conga because I busted my butt - however the margiritas are ready and the grill is fired up. I think the cat ran off with the ball.

I, on the other hand, am invigorated by the fact that I mowed the lawn and can conga with the best of them, occasionally taking a sip of my margarita and greatly looking forward to the burgers, brats, and other wonders from the grill. The Flying Apteryxes rule!!!!!

Fine -- but we get one letter in return. Damn, y'all don't have much of anyone playing, do you?
We'll take F, since Feydeau seems to have eaten all the brats anyway.

Marque Elf takes the ball from the bounce (for some reason the ref thinks we're playing Australian Rules or something) and gets an eyeful of toxic spit courtesy of his opponent who chose to spit on the ball rather than jump for it. Temporarily, perhaps permanently blinded, he tosses the ball in the general direction of what he believes is his team's goal...

Once the game begins, the first person to post has the ball. You can do whatever you like with it, but you must end your post by passing the ball. The next poster is the person who caught the ball. If it's a teammate, great. If not, oh well, the other team has control.
IMPORTANT: When posting, you must either post the name of the person from whom you are getting the ball, or quote their post. This game creates a lot of cross-posting, so we need that quoting to follow who has legal possession of the ball.
In order to score, three consecutive teammates must touch the ball. When the third person has the ball, they can either toss it into the goal for a point, or pass it off to (hopefully) another teammate. If you choose to pass, and a teammate gets it, they can either toss it in for two points or they can pass as well. If a teammate catches this pass, they must put it in the goal for three points.
Be careful with all this extra-point passing however, because once you touch the ball you cannot touch it again until there is a score, or the opposing team gains control.
Once you score, the ball is tossed back into the middle and we begin again.
One other quick thing...if you're one of the first people to post on a new page, please copy and paste the "Usernames beginning with..." team listings (it's helpful to have it on each page, so you know who your teammates are).
Game is to 11, must win by two.
