Mello Ball

I have no idea how well this will work here if it will work at all. They used to play it on the dope sometimes. Everyone is sorted onto two teams and each post is considered a pass. If three players from the same team post sequentially, it is considered a goal and their team gets a point. The game ends at a predetermined number of points, in this case 10. You must post who you are receiving the ball from in order to keep track of possession. The catch is that you cannot post twice in a row and you cannot post more than once for a goal triplet.

The Teams:
Team A: posters whose usernames begin with ACEGIKMOQSUWY
Team B: posters whose usernames begin with BDFHJLNPRTVXZ
The first person to post from each team may choose their team name and mascot. I will recuse myself for making judgment calls unless such a position is considered unneeded.

Team B! Go Team B! We are the Rico Sueves and our mascot is Martin the Maggot!

Team A! We are the Anteaters, and our mascot is Arnie the Anteater!

I take the ball from Zuul!

Currently the Rico Sueves need one more team player to complete a goal. However, an Anteaters player could intercept by posting the name of the player they are stealing possession from.

W00t!

I guess Mello is too lame to play to 10. :dumbo:

Or the teams were too unevenly matched, considering how often the people on my team were showing up here. ;)

Yeah. I thought it was more of a "mercy rule" decision, even though y'all rallied right after and got a couple of points. :LOL:

Yay, I helped

:: does victory dance ::

I tried! The rules are easily amendable. If 5 is too easy we can go back to 10. I don't know if there's a surefire way to divide up the teams though.

You done good, Sticks!

The way you did it is as good as any other, I think. There's no telling who's going to check out the game and play. Thanks again.
