Since some of us come from different worlds and we don't all know how to play the same sports I have decided to invent my own. It will be called Sports Ball and it will be played on a Sports Court. I don't know what all the rules are yet, but it will be awesome and it will involve ALL the sports equipment we have.

Rule number one is that each team must include an animal. I'm picking Rinny for my team, so someone better start training a goat or something.

	Are you serious? Because I'm up for training a goat. I mean why not. Also how do the animals fit in or is that something you haven't actually come up with yet? (Reply to this) (Thread)

I'm totally serious. Rinny is a catching and fetching machine and could be the MVP. Goats are also quite nimble and smart, so they could be good too. I'm open to suggestions for rules. I think points are going to be scored by getting all the balls in a certain area. The animals could be used to steal the other teams balls.

I'm going for chaotic, complicated, and awesome, so the more crazy rules the better.

	What kind of an animal is Rinny. You many have said so up there and I missed. Well obviously you get more points for a steal if you get to the goal. That's what I think. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Ah, sorry, I should have mentioned that, I forgot you weren't here when we got him and Maria was keeping him out of the way while she was laid up.

He's a dog. A german shepherd puppy to be exact. I play catch with him sometime with one of the tennis balls, or a frisbee.

Sure, obviously. Unless the other team gets balls in all four squares before you reach the circle..

	I heard there was a dog but I haven't seen him. The gods will give us pets? He's probably really good at playing ball, I don't know how well I'll do with training a goat. It might end up being pretty hilarious though before it's done with. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

They did that one time, but I think maybe he was intended to be a working animal to help with the sheep. He's young, though, so he's still learning.

I was thinking we could allow tackling, and a goat would be really good at butting people and knocking them down. But then I reconsidered the safety of actually training an animal to knock people down, even just in play. I do think a goat kicking or butting a ball would be hilarious. Or even just running around causing chaos.

	Here's the question though. How does one train a goat? I've done a lot of things in my line of work but goat training, nope. I guess I could just do it by trail and error. I figure it would easier to train a goat than the chickens. Although chickens running around and getting in everyone's way would be damn funny. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dist4_finnick 2016-06-30 10:00 pm UTC (link)
	Honestly? I don't even know if it's possible. Goats are pretty smart and sociable but I don't know how trainable they are. Certainly they are much, much smarter than chickens. There should probably be chickens, but I don't know if they can be on a team. They might just be more like moving obstacles. Free agents of chaos. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's pretty much the entire goal. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sounds like a pretty worthy goal to me. You bring the dog and I'll bring the goat and we'll see what happens. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Not for this game he's not. Neither are the weres. Sorry guys, you're people. Dolphins might be a possibility, since one side of the court will be underwater. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	All the more reason to be on my team. ;) And it's only part of the Sports Court. But, wait, isn't there an actual mermaid (merman?) around here somewhere? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You're Isaac, right? You were here before. You offered to teach me lacrosse. Is this another one of those timeline things were you're from an earlier time so you don't remember? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	One, yes, I'm Isaac. Two, I'd be glad to teach you lacrosse. Three, I have no idea what you're talking about, dude. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dist4_finnick 2016-06-30 07:04 pm UTC (link)
	OK, it's pretty clear you don't remember. You were here before, but you went home after a few weeks. You're probably going to have to talk to one of your Beacon Hills bros to get the details. Anyway, my name's Finnick. Glad to have you back. Welcome to Sex Island. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Well, fun fact, you can't get a girl pregnant unless you want to. Both partners have to agree for conception to take place. Pregnancies only last three months, and you can give the baby to Arva if you want.
~~You already have a baby with Malia...nah better let them break the news~~

There's a post I made a while back with lots of information for new volunteers. Let me see if I can find it.
