As it is now summer for me and I possess a great deal more time, I will begin a project I have been meaning to for a while.

I am going to revive the Togball league. In order to do this horribly time consuming and soul crushing endevor, I'm going to need folks help. At the moment, I'm only looking to put together two teams, the Tiger Clan and Knife Clan teams, which will require having this odd sort of people called players. Due to tradition, the players themselves must be Gor'Tog, but I don't see any reason not to open the other non-field positions to any race.

So if you have an interest in playing, managing or being the ball, feel free to contact me at my play addy.

Awesome, email me at my play addy and well see if we can drag more folks into it.

This was an old post from Roderigo:

Something a 'Tog or two might be interested in ? on 12/21/2002 3:08:47 AM 8


Boss Ortug is proud to announce the grand opening of the Tiger Clan Togball Field.

I will now lapse into OOC language because I'm way too tired to be clever.

There are a couple of mechanics to allow spectators to watch the game. The rules of the game itself are up to the 'Togs playing it. I know some of you have put a lot of effort into that already. The following is really pretty simple, but again, I'm tired enough that this will probably sound insanely complicated. I'm relying on the fact that most of the players of 'Togs are a lot smarter than their characters <g>.

The official Togball can be either a) an object or b) a person of any race other than Gor'Tog. Only one official Togball can be in play at once. To register the object in his/her right hand as the official Togball, a Gor'Tog should JOIN FIELD. Similarly, to volunteer to be the official Togball, a non-Gor'Tog person should JOIN FIELD. In either case, this must be done from one of the five sideline rooms from which the field of play is visible. After JOIN FIELD happens, the ball must go onto the field of play within 1 minute, or the guards will decide to wait for another ball. If the ball leaves the field of play it will cease to be the official ball.

Anyone who is in one of those same five middle rooms along the sideline will be able to watch the action, wherever the Togball goes within the field of play. If you are already in a spectator room when the ball enters play, you will automatically see everything that happens around the ball. If you enter the area after the ball has entered the field of play, you will still see what happens as soon as it moves, but if you'd like to watch immediately, WATCH MATCH will allow you to do so. There is no command to stop watching; as soon as you leave the spectator area, that will happen automatically.

By the way, the field of play is intended to be 'Tog-only, with the exception of the ball, if applicable. For some reason, despite the fact that this worked for months with no problems in testing, everyone is currently able to enter the field of play, even if they aren't signed up as the ball. Fortunately, this doesn't prevent the field from being used or the spectator feature from working. Just FYI though, the field will revert to 'Tog-only soon. Everyone, regardless of race, will always be able to access the sideline/spectator area.

Enjoy!

-Roderigo

Thanks Freddy.

So, can I be a Togball? What are the rules? Sounds like fun.

Danner's Gnomic Bane

Hmm I'll have to read up. Is it dangerous for the togball (gnome in this case) or the players?

Giter

Guess I'll boost my favors over 7 then first while I read up on the rules. That 10 stamina is a pain though.

Giter

Not a penalty if they die as they're passing through the goal.

How about slipping some true toothbrushes into Plat? And dental equipment.

The rules for the Tiger Clan v. Knife Clan grudge match are as follows.

---

RULES:

1. Teams representing Tiger Clan and Knife clan are comprised of Gor'Togs who have previously registered as players.

2. Each team is made up of a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 7 players, with 5 players from each team being the most allowed on the field at any time.

3. One of the active players must reach the team bench before a substitute may enter the field. Too many on the field at one time will result in the other team being awarded a point and resetting of the ball.

4. The object of the game is to score goals by dragging the ball through the opposing blood zone. This is accomplished by dragging the ball from the "Blood Zone" to "Behind the Goal." The point will not be scored if the ball is dragged to "Behind the Goal" from either the "Attack Zone" or "Behind the Goal Line" areas. The team with the most goals when time expires wins.

* The ball is being provided by Knife Clan
* The Official is the only person who may declare a goal. They have the ultimate authority in interpretation of the rules.

5. The ball begins play in the middle of the field. It also goes back to midfield after each goal is scored.

6. The ball should remain prone except when walking back to the middle of the field after a goal is scored.

7. Each game lasts 20 minutes. The timer is continuous and play only stops after a goal is scored. After each goal, the ball is reset back at midfield by the Offical and play resumes at the

8. If the game is tied after 20 minutes, there is sudden death overtime. The next goal wins.

9. In this particular match, no use of weapons is allowed however the use of TACKLE is permitted as a means to hinder the advancement of the opposing players.

10. No "buffs" are permitted (spells, roars, khris, glyphs, dances, etc.). This means both that none may be in effect on any of the players when play begins and none may be invoked during play. The use of any such abilities will result in the ejection of the player by the Judge. If the player refuses to leave or returns into play, their team is disqualified.

What S'kra are we using as a ball? I have a few in mind if you need ideas.

As a follow up, I want to thank Aurdun and company for running this, it's been the most enjoyable event I've ever been part of, by far.

We wanted to give titles to those who were a part of it beforehand, but we ran a bit late due to a few things not entirely in our control.

I've got to give a big thanks to all of those involved. It was our first run at something like this and it was admittedly a bit rough around the edges. We had a few minor snafus that had to be cleared up, but things seemed to go smoothly (trust me, it was as confusing for us as it was for you) from what I saw.

I do hope all those who attended enjoyed themselves. It was a lot larger crowd than I anticipated!

Again, thank you all for putting up with the minor rough patches as well as for making it an enjoyable event. :)

was pretty cool. I definitely was confused at first. I look forward to future matches. Couple suggestions if you're open to em

TACKLE didn't work unless you advanced. Tried on Kiam :)

don't allow the ball to be dragged until the word GO.

maybe a violent Togball only maneuver to inflict pain/harm on the other team. No skill check, just make it random so all can play at equal levels

overall it was great. count me in for the next time

I want to echo everyone else on this. It was a blast, a bit confusing since it was slightly different then the KK Games. Looking forward to more matches. Ortug, Kiam, and Trog were a riot. Kudos!

>>do I need the tog avatar to join the league?

Kalag is not yet a god. Maybe not even beatified, either.

If there's enough interest, I'll get something going.
