Space Lanes seem quiet today
Space lanes seem quiet today. Undoubtedly a lot of pilots are at a local space bar watching the Zero-Gee Tiosolan Football Championships between the Equines (Colts) and the Winged Humanoids (Saints)

No. We were discussing the Zero-Gee Tiosolan Football Championships between the Equines (Colts) and the Winged Humanoids (Saints).Selezen wrote:Shouldn't this be in Outworld?

Proper football wouldn't work in Zero-G!

This got me thinking, though. Some games like American football, rugby etc would work quite well, as would games where you hit a ball (tennis, cricket) but others just wouldn't, like football (soccer) or volley-ball. And can you imagine Zero-G water-polo?

Interestingly, while Oolite's pseudo-random system descriptions generator knows of hockey, cricket, karate, polo, and tennis, only Zero-G hockey and Zero-G cricket are ever mentioned in the descriptions (and notably less in Galaxy 5 than elsewhere).
At least the two Zero-G games are quite common around the eight charts. Other then these, there are only three instances of vacuum karate, 19 of mud tennis, and polo isn't actually played anywhere.
Which also means that the "ice" and the "ultra" variants of all these games don't exist at all.
Oh, crappy pseudo-random generation!

Trivia: there are 23 873 086 025 possible planet descriptions (before expanding the %-escapes), with varying probabilities. It’s not surprising that some of them are unused. :-)Commander McLane wrote:Oh, crappy pseudo-random generation! :evil:
