none of them would win.
none of them know the rules.
it'd be like watching 2 cats trying to paint the mona lisa with paintball guns and blowtorches.

Hmmm...

This gives me an idea for "Frig Football". We could use "Spaceship Barbie's Frozen Corpse" as the ball...and gates for endzones.

Something similar has been done before, from what I remember it involved two teams of heavily armed frigates, tractor beams, a jetcan with some livestock and cans set up as goals. Objective : get the livestock through the other teams goal without exploding.

Edit: I can't remember who did it but it was based on the ancient sport of Buzkashi, similar to polo, extremely violent and involves a headless corpse.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

I am confused. Do you mean Football or the gay sport called soccer?


Football is the men's game from 1835 played in England streets and public schools but the very beginning is even older and already called football.

Nothing to do with the gay'ish American version of rugby barely old of 100 years...

Well yeah, because first they would commit all kinds of fouls and then shoot the referee for calling them on it.

@ Liang, sounds like fun, may the most inventive cheats win.

Found the original people that did space Buzkashi, it was The Bastards.

Looks like my memory is slightly faulty, I got a few details wrong.

As soon as an important player gets tackled, Goonswarm will hotdrop 1500 players onto the field and the tidi will begin.

I think Minmatar would win,
While Amarr prays for goal, Gallente stands and debate tactics and Caldari is busy trying to bribe the judges.

Caldari would win easily. They would simply bribe referees and buy the other race's best players.

Afterall, isn't that how these sports work in the real world?

Crocodile Men. They fumble the football lots, but they've got this crazy tackle that tends to leave the other team a mess.

So goons would first dogpile then after all other alliances dogpile they'd complain to CCP err I mean the refs & all other alliances would get penalized while Goons are given a PLEX for pointing out an exploight?
