This thread is for comments on the game, that don't have to do with the moves on the game itself.

I agree that discussion on the gender, colour and breed of dragons, interesting as it is, and necessary at the start of the game, do detract from the game itself. The important thing is who scores how many goals and who catches the Snitch, yes?

But if we restrict the depiction of the game to the moves by the players, it's going to be a dry report. The flirting and the shenanigans are fun. I for one would like to know whether the pixie waitress will bring her friends in and pull some trick or other. What happens if a flock of pixies fly around a dragon and impede his game? Which sides are the pixies on? The fact that it's Fred who brings the first pixie in doesn't guarantee that they will all support the Reds and harass the Blues.

People, it seems to me that, despite all the kabooms and hullaballoos, this game is kind of sluggish. After having hollered high and low for a DQ game, and declaring themselves raring to go, relatively few people post. Despite some valiant efforts from a few aficionados, days pass without a single post.

Laurelluin, you were the most enthusiastic about this, where are you? Hope your creativity has been unblocked, we need members to participate more.

Laurelluin's real life has taken over loads of spare time. Between having my daughters at my home 24/7 this month and trying to find a better job, downtime is exceedingly rare. If we could have started July 1st, I'd have been here five days a week for one to six hours at a stretch! I do apologize for my lack of particapatory time. Sad

Plus it's hard to know what to do when my Beater's mount was for some reason charging after the Quaffle instead of a Bludger. Now that I've collided with Roar and Smaug, I'm not even sure how badly I'm hurt.

Maybe it would help if posters would read the rules? We've had lots of dragon-ball contact with very few penaties called for it! Snape either is being lazy or doesn't know which team to favor...

Can't observers make a comment about the game and what happens? Surely it can't be only the players and commentators and referees that say what happens? I thought we might get Wildflowers et al to say what is going on too... I haven't seen many comments from some of the players either. But then as I am new to the game I'm not sure what should be going on... super grin

Silly dyslexic fingers - yes I meant comment...LOL super grin

Dunno what Fred meant to do by bringing in the pixie. We'll try to work her somehow into the game, but it's kind of a dangerous gambit. The referees are now on their toes, not to mention our players and commentators.

Just be extra careful if you use the pixie in the game.
