FOWL! Fowl, I call! This is an outrage! Who came up with the conspiracy to play at 3 in the friggin’ morning? :dubious: yeah, congrats or sumpthin… 😃 I still don’t think I ever got an answer on posts 164-166, but I’ll let it go, cause, you know…I’m all mature and stuff. 😛 ---

Oh, great game, Team 1 (sorry, I’ve forgotten your name this time and am too lazy to look it up). You gave us a real scare this time. I think this is the closest game of Doperball that’s ever been played. I really thought you were going to win! Blame the conspiracy on my religion professor, otherwise I would have never been up that late. Would you blame a man of the Word? :dubious: 😃 ---

Well, I _do_ have a few choice Words for the man. 😛 ---

Yes, it was a very well-played game, and I believe it was the first time that a game of Doperball didn’t turn into a blowout. As for your protest, **harmless** , I’m not going to issue a ruling on this matter, due to the long-standing Doperball rule “It’s too damn late to change anything now anyway”. Soooo…anyone want to try this whistle? It’s really, really neat. I’ll leave it hanging right here if anyone wants to give it a toot\*. \*As per Doperball rules, touching the whistle automatically makes you the ref for the next game, which begins as soon as you touch the whistle. ---

Yeah, cause I _never_ asked about it before, ya punk ref. 😛 And who’s protesting? As stated: > [@harmless](#): > > I’ll let it go, cause, you know…I’m all mature and stuff. 😛 It was a good game…too bad I missed the last half. ☹ ---

You’re not getting that whistle near me. You know what happened when I reffed in Doperball II, the infamous do-over game. . . [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/doperball-iii/289034.md?page=18)
