There was only one rule. You could never do the same thing twice. It's possible to play it on a forum. It's just a lot of mindless fun, and it's something interesting. If you ever have a lot of frustration, you can take it out on someone in Calvinball. So, (if the Admins let this thread stick) come and play Calvinball! It's a lot of senseless fun, and once in a while ya really gotta think.  Dens Joined: 02 Jul 2003 Total Posts: 1221 Send PM   Re: Calvinball Posted: 31 Oct 2003 07:24 AM *didnt understand how ta play it* Dens You are more than welcome to ignore my spelling mistakes =p  Tasra www.bgmod.com Joined: 17 Jun 2003 Total Posts: 1364 Send PM   Re: Calvinball Posted: 31 Oct 2003 08:04 AM uhmmm.... Hypotheticly, someone has the ball... I could shoot a longbow, peg 'em in the back, steal the ball, and make a goal in one of an infinate # of goals. Then I make up a random # of points, because nobody ever keeps track of the score.  Dens Joined: 02 Jul 2003 Total Posts: 1221 Send PM   Re: Calvinball Posted: 31 Oct 2003 09:25 AM well then.. first thing, why is this under "Flames" ? =p second, i guess i'll need to watch it before actually try to take part in it (wanna see how it goes =p) Dens You are more than welcome to ignore my spelling mistakes =p  Tasra www.bgmod.com Joined: 17 Jun 2003 Total Posts: 1364 Send PM   Re: Calvinball Posted: 31 Oct 2003 12:30 PM http://www.philoticweb.net/openbb/read.php?TID=5&page=137 here's an example of one that pretty much died out  DiabloStan Joined: 30 Jul 2003 Total Posts: 653 Send PM   Re: Calvinball Posted: 31 Oct 2003 12:36 PM Holy monkey! 133 pages of Calvinball! *dons his mask* *grabs his mallet* I get the ball first. The rules specifically state that the person who's ready first gets the ball. And of course, since I'm standing in the ZONE OF FOCUS, nobody can interrupt my first stroke. *thwacks the Calvinball towards the nearest tree* d20: 14 *THWACK!* Point! The score is now Q to Bumblebee. Your move. - [Rob], Balthor, Jake, and Thomas.  Alosynth Joined: 11 Apr 2003 Total Posts: 1324 Send PM   Re: Calvinball Posted: 31 Oct 2003 12:56 PM As the first person to use colour on this thread, Alosynth scores 21 points.

However, they get 5 points just for touching it.  Tasra www.bgmod.com Joined: 17 Jun 2003 Total Posts: 1364 Send PM   Re: Calvinball Posted: 31 Oct 2003 03:15 PM *Pulls out a Baker rifle and puts a hole in Calmeir's head* Grabs the Calvinball and throws it through a hoop for 15 points.

Runs around screaming "I win, I win" firing the rifle aimlessly in the air and scores 1 xp (just like when you kill a hill giant for the fourth time by yourself if you are at level 8).

As a matter in fact, I haven't thought about it for, well, about a month. I've been a little tied up in RL to worry about such things (take this afternoon for example, I found out that if I didn't have a paper done in 40 minutes, I was gonna fail the course! Eeek!) Well, lets see here *thinks for a second* Casts a fireball spell blasting everyone -not- active in Calvinball for 20 damage each, lets see here... a point for each damage point... 300 or so users in Vives... That's about 6,000 points for me!
