The Rocketeers a Jedi Academy Rocket-Ball team

Following to the Hydro-Ball Team I would like to put up a team of Rocket-Ball. For those who don't know Rocket-Ball is similar to volleyball: 1st...The one who gets the service shoots a rocket to his opponent(non-locking) then the opponent tries to push it back to the other team. To make a point you have to kill you're opponent (1 of 3) the team that kills the 3 wins the set and you have to win 3 sets out of 5 to win the game. A penalty of -50 health is inflicted to the ppl that intentionally shoots the rocket out of bounds. This sports is basically practice on plane surface but can be played on any terrain that can be divided into 2 equals parts.

I'm searching for a maximum number of teams of 3(i.e.: tm1, tm2 and tm3 are a team). So if you're interested this you can come to channel #JARocketeers on ETG Tuesday February 18th at 8:00pm eastern time zone or Friday February 21th at 9:00 pm eastern time zone.

Hope to see you all there,
Nemesis Nova

p.s.: I'm not joking with that, this is a serious project.

That would be fun to start back up again, if possible.


Yeah there are lots of neat little things like this that are fun and I am big fan of. The only problem is they may get a large following at first or if at all... and they you usually never get any further than that either due to poor organization or lack of interest. I think it would be pretty fun to do an activity if people had the dedication to stick with it more than a week (that goes both for the organizer and the participants). Thats why alot of the student run tournaments never go well, atleast that I have seen.

I like your idea NN.


Oh please put a room in the next version of the map for this DC. Even when people are not using it for rocket ball it could be used for the JA prom (it could be called the gym.) I just hope you make it super simple (architecturally I mean.)

Also I was wondering if you could do a variant of this with tossing thermal detonators (alternate fire) or do they explode on impact when pushed?

HEY!

Thanks you all:

1st: DICE AND DOM: would be cool if you can do a place where we could play rocket ball in the JA but it's not essential (i play in the courtyard).

2nd: The meeting I had yesterday with chanserv :P was a complete mess (cuz i was alone and chanserv kept saying he changed +l to 20--21--22) so the next meeting is Friday 9pm EST. Don't forget to come: all Welcome :)
