The Feud (Game 2)

[Faris]

I'm going to disown you all

[Agent Proto]

Horse riding, horse back riding, etc. Yeah, that's considered a sport that you don't use a ball with. Let's see if it's up on the board if you want to continue racking up points.

Show us Horse riding!



There she goes...



Ooh, that doesn't look good.



That was strike three! D:

7. Cycling -2

That was strike three. Sorry! Let's see if Team Champions can steal your hard earned points. Anyone can answer within the 24 hours. They are allowed to discuss in-thread or out, but must provide an answer for the steal attempt.

Good luck!

Opening this up for discussion.

Answers that it can't be:

Horseracing
Marksmanship/Shooting
Car Racing

Answers that it can be:

Video Game Competing
Chess
Spelling Bee (Though I don't think this is on here but going out on a limb)
Surfing
Badminton (Though technically it sort of is a ball on the top of it)
Extreme Winter Sports like Skiing, Snowboarding, or Bobsledding
Skateboarding or Skating

Surfing or Skating/Skateboarding seems like the safest answer. What say you?

[Slothy]

I concur. I'd say skiing or skateboarding are the most likely candidates myself. Leaning more towards skiing I think but then I am Canadian and it is winter.

[qwertysaur]

I'm leaning towards either Skiing or Gymnastics. Martial arts is another possibility.

[Formalhaut]

It's very difficult because there's many sports that it could be. I'm basing this mainly on the Olympics and also common, everyday sports that people might have played/seen themselves. While rowing is a Olympic sport, the average person probably wouldn't exactly row every month..

My tips would be either:

- Martial Arts. People often send their sons and daughters to practise now and then. The benefit of this is that martial arts is also quite a broad answer, so it encompasses many disciplines (Like MMA, Judo, Karate etc.)

- Gymnastics. Again, everyone does it in school at least once and it's quite popular in the Olympics too.

- Skateboarding is a sport, kind of. It's definitely a possibility.

- Surfing is doable, but I wouldn't go for it because not everyone has access to it. We don't all live by the coast (I do, but I live in England which is hardly surfing weather. That and I can't swim)

Basically, choose a sport guys that is well-known by the majority of people (not just in one country, weather type etc), is something that some people would conceivably do semi-regularly like Karate class, and finally, hasn't got balls.

Good luck! It's definitely tough.

[Slothy]

You know, I completely forgot about Gymnastics, but I think that might be the best option so far. I'm voting for that myself.

My money (admittedly, I am fairly useless) would be on these three in order:

1. Martial Arts
2. Gymnastics
3. Skateboarding

Though to be honest, for me, either 1 and 2 *should* clinch it, if the voters had common sense and went with the obvious answers. This being the Feud, I wouldn't be surprised if cheese rolling competitions got on there, or Tag.

We've got three spaces on that board. Surely we can grab one of them?

[Shiny]

I never did gymnastics in school. I'd think Martial Arts/MMA Fighting seems like the more likely to be on there out of all of the proposed choices.

I actually wouldn't be surprised if Raistlin sent that answer in come to think of it.

[qwertysaur]

Thought about it some more. Martial Arts is the best idea we have.

[Slothy]

Let's do it then!

[Agent Proto]

So... I'm taking that Team Champion is going with Martial Arts as their answer for the steal? If successful, you will manage to keep the Five Ps with 0 points. If that happens, maybe your team will end up blanking them throughout the game. Wouldn't that be exciting?

Okay...

For the steal... Show us Martial Arts!



HIYAAA!!



Martial Arts is definitely a sport. Not a team oriented sport, but a sport nevertheless, and one that doesn't involve a ball!

And...

However...



Your team failed to steal the points away! The Pirate and her crew shall keep the 64 points they earned.

Answers.
1. Hockey - 15
2. Track & Field - 8
3. Boxing - 4
4. Swimming - 3
5. Badminton - 3
6. Chess -3
7. Cycling -2
8. Wrestling - 2
Points: 64

Score
Team Champions: 67
The Five Ps: 64

It's a close game we have here! Team Champions hold a small lead though into Round Four. Can they go for more points or will the Five Ps manage to win from behind with a successful steal? We'll see when Round 4 is up!

Chess is not a sport.

[Agent Proto]

Or is it? There are chess tournaments, so it can be a sport.
