MOOPS BALLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!

Postby Thugorp » Sun Jan 27, 2008 3:56 pm

So, I was wondering if anybody here has ever heard of an awesome game called Moops Ball? It is actally the game that led me to you in the first place. I was looking for places to buy Moops Ball equipment, and the Belegarth foam fighting league came up in a google search. I was wondering first, has any one heard of it, and second would anyone like to play it.

here is were the rules may be found: http://www.eblong.com/zarf/moopsball/index.html

P.S.: yes I know that some of the rules are a little inconsistent form one part of the page to the next, but after months of research, study and discussion, I am ready to answer any questions.

P.P.S.: yes I know dirt bikes are not safe mountain bikes with training weals would be used as a substitute.

this shouldn't be here, it is not a different sport, (well sorta) it is mearlly a different way of playing this one, such as group battle or realm against the world.

Um no, the rules for moopsball, and I did read them, have several blatent belegarth safety violations in them. Any bike at all is not safe in a contact sport. Neither are hoops.

This is another game that uses equipment similar to belegarth.

But I'd rather do Bele/Dag than that. Seems too complicated and not enough direct violence.

No, compare baseball to cricket. That's a good comparison with that and this.

No no, I know that W.T.F. means what the ****, I just meant: What was hard to understand about that?
