Jason, have you thought about sports?

Sports like football in europe replaced wars somewhat, people came together, had the same banners, uniform, a sense of belonging to a group, a risk, a reward.

Others sports like boxing also were the same principle, a friendly way to discharge stress.

In Battlestar Galactica was boxing between the crew members and a weird sport which seemed to be like a mix of rugby and basketball. Seemed futuristic and thinking back after it turns out they were way in the past, was an interesting thought. People reinvent the same thing over and over.

Basically what we need: a ball, some mechanics to it, and a ruleset, probably a net.

Would be fitting if we wouldn't have a sport just the ability to invent it. There are many games on internet, one was a flash game with a hockey pitch, with 11 people and a basketball, was kinda futuristic rugby basketball football hockey mix where you had to score goals with a magnetic ball.

The way I imagine the ball when someone touches it, it would fly to the reverse direction of the player coming from. As to contain and hold in place, tongs could hold it any other time. Or maybe use them as a different sport.
Maybe some disarm mechanic like snowballs did to tackle or something like hockey sticks.
Would need a reflect mechanic when the ball touches the wall, and randomness in bouncing, for example, would go 3-5 tiles when touched, +-45 degree to the vector is coming from, with the randomness of +-1 of the tile it would land.

Then we could do stadiums, nets, seats, play this sport of kicking or throwing a ball. We could make red and blue shirts to play against each other or just different families. Or even bet things to win from each other.

I don't mind more leisure activities. Jason, the more fun-on-the-simpler-side stuff we get the better.

You’re disregarding the “sports” we already have
Rubber ball keepaway for the youth - gotta keep bouncing the ball and keep control of it.

Stone ball. Get the ball past the other player into the basket without carrying it (must go 3 ish tiles with just dribbling and holding but can’t move while holding)

“Ice Hockey” chasing penguins, whoever catches (taps) penguin first wins

A while back Jason said that he only went there when he was out of ideas. That's part of the reason why you see people posting on the forums instead of there, because veteran players tend to believe him more likely to read things on the forums than there.

Actually this is a fantastic idea. We have a lot of morons who take out a bow or knife and start murdering for dumb reasons just because they are bored in a developed town with nothing to do. This could give them something to do, and amuse and entertain players.
