chris, who takes the ball, puts a pretty bow on it, and leaves it there on the field for anyone who wants to take it!

Bell, who is in a brilliant position to score a goal! Sneaking it right past the invisible pink goalie for the point!!

<TWEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!>
Hey, that was fun!
That makes it 8 - 1 to Absolutely Average Athletics
Diomedes picks the ball up and runs for the goal…
Why does team One always win these things?

Hey, what the heck is this?

Hmm, looks like just a dumb ol’ ball.

Team Two! Help!

Damn this ref’s whistle, there was a double going begging there.

I think that CIAS thinks (she)'s stuck as a referee.
picks up the ball, puts it into a nearly-perpetual-motion machine

CIAS is a gentleman and would not consider interfering in the run of play while acting as a referee.
However, it is good to see Team 1 winning though

picks up the stumbled-over ball, brushes bbs2k’s cleat marks off it, and hoves it out to…
Come on now team!
As I read it, the last chain went…
Diomedes (team 2.)
bbs2k (turnover to team 1)
chrisk (second touch by team 1)
bbs2k tripping was just done for effect and doesn’t really affect things one way or another, since he was already upchain, right?
BellRungBookShut-CandleSnuffed, you were the third touch for our team, and since it’s a quiet sunday morning and no telling who’s going to log on next, you shoulda gone for the score I think. Just because we’ve got a big lead is no reason to be lazy! 
Incidentally, I’ve been starting to dwell on the various probability figures involved for scoring versus holding out for multi-pointers. The fact that everybody who’s already touched on your team can’t go again, while anyone on the other side can intercept, definitely weighs things in favor of getting the points you can when you can.

(out of the game) I’m sorry, I’m still new, you’re right. I reread the rules and “tripped” up ironically enough. (please return to game, and discount my posts)

Incidentally, I like to stir the pot, so I am PMing a couple to join in. An “f”, an “f”, an “l”, and a “d”.
