I can't believe the new season is almost on us, and we haven't even started to arrange anything.
Now I know that there are some amongst us who are very proficient in football, or who are at least very enthusiastic, and follow the game; and then there are the others, and girls, and things like that.
So I propose we draw up 2 sides - a team of footballers, and a bunch of ballet-dancers.
Teams to be drawn from the following list (let me know if I miss anyone out):
Possible footballers:
Rodney K
Tranquil
Peeps
Malcontent
Jock
Fido
Lucita
Col
Fevva
Possible Ballet Dancers
Attila the Hut
Vulch
Di
Betty
Minge
Pierre
Jean
Lilo Lil
Instead of playing on a park, each player ask an opposing player a question about themselves, which has a "true or false" answer. If they get it right, they get the "goal". Wrong, and it's a "goal" to the questioner.
Now I'm sure I've missed a few players off, so let me know and I'll expand the list.
(Tie to be played on or before some time soon.)
-
Sounds like fun, Peepsie, although I have to say that when I pull on a pair of football boots, the epithet "Tranquil" takes on an extremely ironic air. Sharpening my studs as I type...
-
I'm off to do some training for this.
One ring-pull...two ring-pulls..
-
Am I supplying oranges at half time?
-
I'm in for being a ballet dancer, Peeps, but may I be excused the tutu and the ballet shoes?
-
Spoilsport!
-
Spoilsport!
Think of this:
Disney film
Rite of Spring
Hippos wearing tutus and ballet shoes......
they look graceful next to me!
-
Got the video - and the image you describe so eloquently. Point taken. But I thought that was what the other side would be wearing, seeing as Peepsie is on that side of Nancy footballers.
-
... Peepsie is on that side of Nancy footballers.
Which one is Peepsie?...
Nancy Footballers (http://www.asnl.net/pages/equipes/pro.html)
-
Someone takes charge. Everyone submits a question (and their answer), in advance for him to check..
-
I don't understand. Someone poke me when it's my turn okay.
-
I'm not even mentioned for the prospective teams, thus avoiding the need to be poked
-
Oops - I'll add you now. I told you the list wasn't exhaustive.
-

Well, number 20 seems to have an unfortunate name; I think that one's Peepsie!
-

I'm not mentioned either, but then I'm a figment of Mince's imagination.
-
Au contraire! Thou art indeed mentioned.
-
Au contraire! Thou art indeed mentioned.
Which one?
-
..0
-
Oh yes. I see you edited it Thank you. However, I am more suited to ballet.
-
I'll switch you over to the
girl's other team now.
When we're ready to play, each person makes a statement to their direct opponent, who then has to guess whether it's true or false.
For example, if Mints is put up against Tranquil, he might make the statement that "he has a degree in astrophysics". Tranquil might guess that it's false. If it is indeed false, Tranquil's team gets the "goal" scored. If Tranquil is wrong, and Mints does indeed have the astrophysics degree, then the "goal" is awarded to the Ballet team.
-
How does one prove the statement 'true' or 'false'?
-
The guy giving the statement gives it to a neutral third party, in advance" along with the "answer". I'm also trusting that folk will be honest!
-
Feather, is it me or is your avatar saying "Malcolm, you've been a very naughty boy..."

I can't see how this is going to work. Over the years we've all prattled on about what we do, what we've done, what we think, etc. A) it's going to be really hard to think of a statement that's suitable for mixed company, and B) to think of something that we haven't mentioned before!
Or have I misconstrued the point of this 'game'?
-
I think you may have done, Vult. Point is you lie your socks off. ;D
-
Peepmaster, is this meant to be girls against boys? If it is, then I ought to point out that not only have you wrongly put me in the girls' team but you've also wrongly put yourself in the boys' team.
-
There you go, Vulch. You could say something as simple as "I never wear socks on a Sunday". It might be true, for all we know. I am hoping that people will be genuine with the truths/fibs they make.
Mints - no it's not girls against boys. The Ballet Team has more girls purely by chance.
-
Perhaps appoint referee, someone impartial, honest and can count the score. I will nominate Bill for this, but on second thought ...
We need to nominate team captain too.
Get the rules sorted , so we can start playing! ;D
-

I resent that remark. I can count - 1, 10, 11, 100, 101, 110, 111, 1000, 1001, 1010, etc.
-
I fear I may have to withdraw from this....groin strain.
-
That's what I was afraid of...too many days advance warning...someone was bound to get injured in preparation. I'm surprised it wasn't Bill.
-

It's a bit too early to do this, but there you see a fine example of a blatant fib!
-
It's a blatant groin strain.
-
I think Roger is misspelling on his keyboard. He's pressing g rather than b, and o rather than a.
-
"glotont brain stroin"? ???
-
I'm confused: not sure which team I'm in. I could be Jock, not that I want to be Jock, been trying to shake that name for 30 years, but Jock could also be Jack, or I could be Jean, but that could be Jack too, as in French for John.
I think I'm probably more suited to Jock, as I did muck around with a football in my early years with the boy next door and I've followed it a bit in Oz due to friend connections. I was too tall for ballet and only managed a couple of classes when I was about 5. I remember "Lavender blue, dilly, dilly, lavender green, when I am king, dilly, dilly, you shall be queen." Sorry, I'm thinking out loud.
-

I did not say anything about a rather than o or b rather than g. >:(

I'm guessing you're down as 'Jean'. Be with the 'in' crowd - it should be fun? ;)

I broke my fingernail, what there was of it. Must not be getting enough calcium.

Peter already does.
-
Is the Transfer window open yet ? Can I join the Tutu Team ? With Roger groin injury and Bill finger ( or is it Bill nail??) I won't want to be on the same side with them. My agent is open for negotiation ;D
-
She always calls me A Gent. 8)
-
She always calls me A Gent. 8)
Yes. And we all believe you, Peeps! :P
-
So is this game ever going to kick off? I'm a coiled spring, I am. A thoroughbred race horse, champing at the bit. A steroid-fuelled sprinter, poised on the blocks. A Saturn 5 rocket, simmering on the launch pad... you get the picture? Go, go, GO!!!
Did I mention I'm a bit bored?

Did I mention I'm a bit bored? We gathered that!
-
Go Go TT, I'm on your side.. cheer leader, need to find my rah rah skirt for added effect ;D
-
kick off tomorrow. Tutu Team will take the first turn to ask a Q ?? that's how it works??
-

If the kick about starts tomorrow, who's in the Neutral Zone? Who do we post our question and answer to for adjucika verific making sure no one cheats and changes their mind?
-
Well you are the only one likely to cheat Bill and seeing you are on my team, we may need that small advantage.
-
Before we start - who the hell is who?
Possible footballers:
Rodney K - Roger
Tranquil - Tarqs
Peeps - Peeps

-

Thanks TTIII - someone should email Rob and Max to be on the Ballet team to even up the numbers.
-
Feather, is it me or is your avatar saying "Malcolm, you've been a very naughty boy..."
;)
-
Haka completed. Ready.
Bring it on!
-
I thought Fevva was transferring to our side?
Hak, Haak, cough. I'm ready as well.
-
I nominate Bill to be your team captain Diane.
TT - for footballer captain
That should be interesting!
Can we start playing now please... I'm soooo bored , somebody start pretty please ;D
-
We need a 'ref' first, Lucy. Who among us is an upstanding, trustworthy, true and honest citizen?
Oh, Lord - game over! :(
-
Maybe someone from the Garfield fan club would moderate?
-
How about Mince - for ref?
-
Goal!
[/i][/b][/size][/color]
-
How about Mince - for ref?
Then the ballet side would be down at least two players.
-
The ref can be different for each pairing. It just has to be someone different.

;D
-
:D ;D :D
-
;D Very, very good, Rob!
-
:D Very well done, Rob. How do you know where to find the right strip? Have you tagged and catalogued each one, or do you just know every one by heart?
-
It's usually the team that picks its captain, not the
enemy opposing side. I vote for Diane.
-
Bill that's very polite and democratic of you to vote. But, no - you're the team captain. And I am unanimous in that.
-
;D
Bill you can start giving your team orders since you're the boss ;D
Since peeps started this , he can be the ref. after all we don't need him in our team!
-
Enemy to the front! Take cover! We're going to go two up, left flanking and bags of smoke. Mince, provide covering fire, while Diane and Joan infiltrate the enemy position. Regroup by the bushy top tree 100 metres beyond the objective. Any questions?
-
Yes, will you sharpen my pencil?

Yeah. Does my bum look big in this tutu?
-
;D ;D
-

No. Look after your own equipment.
Yeah. Does my bum look big in this tutu?
What do YOU think? I'm not falling for that one.
-
I'm still not clear when I serve the oranges
-
This is never going to happen, is it?!
-
There's no impartial ref.
It is difficult to think of a fact about oneself that is:
a. Not already known.
b. Suitable for this game.
c. Able to be manipulated to make the opponent guess wrong.
I might state that I have 4 Beau Peep mugs, which on scanning the site could be thought to be true. It would be wrong though, as one was damaged and is now a pen holder, and another was bought for my little girl (the brown belt kick boxer).
It's hard to think of a subject. perhaps if Peeps (whose quite bright idea this was - especially seeing the number of posts here) might like to decide subjects which can be provable.
-
I have no idea what the hell is going on in this thread.
That is all I have to say on the matter.

Like I was saying...
-
To peeps, you might want to clarify the rules, set a subject, act as our ref. and get this thing started FRONTO !!!
-
Okay.
First we must establish who the members of each team are.
Secondly, we must pair up the team members.
Someone neutral can volunteer to receive the PM'd truths/fibs from each team member (and the corresponding answers), before they are put to each opponent in turn.
-
supposed to be pronto just realized ha ha ;D ;D
sorry peeps..

Shouldn't that be 'Feeps'?

Can I be the 'neutral volunteer'? I'm too old to prance around in a tutu. I'm honest and clean living and brush my teeth every morning and night... ;D
-
If Vulture has volunteered to be the impartial ref, then we must have Feather on our side as previously agreed. That way there should be 8 on each side.
the Ref should then decide a subject to which we must provide a question and the correct answer (e.g. what was your first pet's name, Do you have any siblings, etc). Once the list of names on each team is agreed, they could be sorted alphabetically and then paired off against each other.
I believe the aim of the exercise is twofold: 1 - to find out more trivia about each other, and 2 - to see how many lying g**s there are on this forum.
-
No! The subject merely states a "fact" about themselves, which the opponent deems true or false.
e.g. "When I was 10 I accidentally flushed a pet newt down the lavatory". - True or false.
No subject setting, and why would there be?!

Yes, Bill - why must you unnecessarily simplify things? ..0
-
Yes, Bill has obviously misunderstood the term "friendly".

I remain to be convinced that anyone understands that term on this forum.

Ha! Touche!
Spelt of course, without an accent over the last letter (can't be bothered to go get one), so I suppose I'm actually saying something that sounds like "toosh".
TOOSH!
