Doperball VII -- The Game Rooming

…Me!..Who heaves it in the general direction of…

Oh, that’s mine! yoinks

Wait, no it’s not really.

tosses the ball back on the ground.

Lease Original User Name Ever, I don’t think that your post counts as you didn’t quote or mention who you were catching the ball from.

Reminder for page 5:
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

Inner Stickler thanks chrisk for the ball and heads down the field to the goal. Realizing he can’t score he heaves the ball into the air and into the hands of…

Or, shoot, could I have scored? Where’s a ref when you need one?

staring at the ball

What’s going on here? If I take it now, am I in trouble?

I think that you could have. bbs2k stole from fachverwirrt’s cache, then I took it from him, and you got it from me. That’s assuming that #200 was meant as a ball-touching play by the bbs. :slight_smile:

ON PREVIEW: We seem to be cruising without an attentive ref, but I do think that the ball is in play, LOUNE

tentatively takes the ball from the clutches of gravity where he punts it to…

Inner Stickler, who is determined to get this right and therefore throws the ball to…

FUCK! I take it from LOUNE and hand off to

(I hope that’s legal.)

<TWEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!>

Ref Update - seeing as it needs one.

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.

Right the last valid plays were

#200 - Team 1 - bb2sk
#202 - Team 1 - chrisk
#203 - Team 1 - Inner stickler

#207 from LOUNE is invalid as it does not mention Inner Stickler

Ball is currently being passed by Inner Stickler

Game On

Okay, I’m back. As best as I can see, the current chain is as follows:

bbs2k stole from fachverwirrt at 9:13 a.m.
chrisk quoted that post at 10:23 a.m.
Inner Stickler acknowledged that touch at 11;47 a.m., and indeed could have scored. Since then, no legal contact has been made. A member of Absolutely Average Athletics can now score a two-pointer or pass and hope a teammate scoops the ball up and nets a trey. Of course, any Nut Cluster is free to intercept.

I can officiate until about 7 p.m. GAME ON!

ETA: Man, no official for hours, then two show up at once. CatInASuit, I appreciate your stepping in to take the whistle, but you really shouldn’t have done so, as you had already played in the match. I’ll leave any disciplinary measures up to Commissioner Hal Briston. In the meantime, however, I invite you to resume playing if you wish.

Hey, we got another ref.

<pulls off striped jersey>

Plucks ball out of air and leathers it into the goal for two point score.

That makes the score 10-1, so AbAvAth needs only one point to win. Ball is sitting in the middle of the field awaiting the start of what could be the final possession.

Thank **Sternvogel ** for turning up. It was getting bothersome not being able to play and having to be a strict and impartial and above all fair referee.

Picks up ball, smiles sweetly and throws downfield to…

chrisk, who always seems to be the second Absolutely Average Athlete to show up, and passes to…

Inner Stickler who makes what appears to be the winning goal! Woot!

Yippee!!

Good Score Inner Stickler

Was that the least number of people yet to play a game of doperball? Seems a bit sad. Maybe we should only run these during the week, when people who are at “work” can play.

The teams were a bit lopsided - the first day, there was, I think, a total of 3 people from team 2 (2 at a time) playing defense only.
