Admin Thread - Werewolf LIII: The Republic

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

I would rather appreciate it if the Admin thread was used solely for administrative purposes at this point.

Unless you need to tell us you're going to miss the next three days, be a set of dears and hush?

And Legate- Shh. You're dead.

Erm....sorry. I was just trying to figure out what was going on.

What? Who, me?

I assume that Rikae may also be occupied over the US thanksgiving period so unless you are saved at the eleventh hour you will be at my tender mercies.

Unless you hear otherwise (IE Rikae or a guest mod says she can take over), PLEASE assume that day will end at its proper time and you will have to wait till a more civilised time im my part of the world to get the result. I will try to drag my sorrycarcass to the library when it opens at 9.30 - which will be quite an achievement for me on a Saturday so you won't be kept in suspense too long

And since I cannot respond to her there, I must respond to her here.

We shouldn't be upset with her, Boro. We should've remembered that many of those living across the pond prefer the less tactical/technical/intelligent sort of games where you just run around and bash into people. In American football there are hundreds of plays which can be run out of multiple formations against the opposition who could be running any of hundreds of various rush and zone schemes.

American football is like a mix of rugby and chess- far too cerebral for the likes of Mith. It ought to be clear that the game is more intelligent due to the fact that the American players are smart enough to wear protective equipment- which is necessary of course seeing as they're generally bigger and faster and hit harder.

American football is intelligent? Compared to the real football which all the people in the world are intelligent enough to cherish outside the US.? Now give me a break! What does it tell that someone "intelligent-enough" guy up there thought one should call a game where the ball is mainly carried by hand or thrown with hand - and where you basically just ram on others with your body-weight - "football"? In real FOOTball it's penal to take the ball into one's hands or just punching others down.

Someone said that as long as football (not the American masked-violence) is the most favourite global sport the humanity has hope: slow game, pure tactics and aesthetics, maybe even goalless games - but the beauty, the skill, the drama, the eloquence of movement, the tactics, the love, the passion...

(Bah, I'm not that great a football fan, but couldn't resist that)

Balderdash. Both the Phantom and Noggin are wrong. I could rebut this point by point using my clearly substandard 143-155IQ but I think 2 words could be enough Jonah Lomu.
