Congratulations, Emma!

[Jane]

We can have a heated game of.... Wicket every restday at the tavern. Holders vs. crafters, or holdfolk vs. weyrfolk, or some such pairing.

Ohhh!  I'm in for this.  Especially if my team beats Emma's team, or Dracie's.  Or both.

[Mikel]

I'm sure the Tavern can be convinced to sponsor a team

Amanda:
And I like baseball too, but only if I can watch it live so I can heckle and cheer and yell and so on.

Oh, well, I'm from Seattle.  We don't heckle.  Unless you're Alex Rodriguez and then we just boo every time you're at bat or make a play.

I think besides Terrel Owens, he's the most unwelcome man in Seattle  :cussing:   But usually we've very polite fans  :angel7:

You'd be no good with cricket ... unless you can heckle and cheer in slow-motion over five days!

Sports are no fun at all if you can't be loud.

The difference is that Terrell Owens is unwelcome everywhere.

What?! Not unless Fielton gets more money back than he puts out! :D Seriously, where ARE your priorities at?

People at sporting events drink alcoholic beverages.

In Mass Quantities

All that yelling makes one thirsty. *sagenod*

*has just one thing to say* Go Freddie!!!!

All that yelling makes one thirsty. *sagenod*

In cricket (and probably in the Tavern's games of Wicket) the thirst is caused by ... dare I say it ... boredom.  It is a *very* slow game!

Why would anyone watch such a boring game? Down with Wicket!

We can make Wicket more Baseball-like.

Baseball has three levels.
1 - Tedium, with burst of indecipherable action
2 - Slow, with burst of excitement
3 - Keeping track of who is doing what, where.

I've been a life long fan of baseball, and if I am at a game there is always something going on.  Is that runner going to steal?  Are the fielders in the proper position....

...uhm, I am a one-sport geek, sorry.

But between boredom and yelling, there is always a reason to drink.

People drink a lot at Wicket!  On a sunny day, waiting for something to happen - there's plenty of drinking time!  In fact, most people are busy drinking when something does actually happen and with no replay screens on Pern there's going to be a lot of asking their neighbour in the crowd what just happened!

I think Wicket's best for Pern because it's so foreign to most of you.

(And the Ausies, Pommies, and Kiwis will have an advantage!)

What, exactly, is a Pommie?
