Stop poaching Bendtner.

I think we should start a Haxball team. 5 a side. If Coolhead joins, I think he would be a suitable captain. We need a name though if this is going to take off.

How about The-Playmakers? Our avatars could be TP or PM?

I'll let anyone be a part of it although the best players in the tournament will be 1st choice obviously.

Also, we play for fun. If anyone starts griefing us in our own team, they get a warning. 2 warnings and they cannt play anymore.

There is a new Haxball forum coming out in a few days and it looks like the best one, so we will use that.

Anybody want a game just now?

I want a game.

Playmaker Athletic shall be our name. Everyone in agreal?

I would have had Playmaker FC but it is also a UT club on here.

Playmaker HC = Playmaker Haxball Club?

We shall see what coolhead will say. I have elected him as captain.

I don't mind. Playmaker HC sounds good. Maybe Playmaker United HC. It's not my team it's our team.

Ok. We are officially Playmaker HC.

Members:

Pip - GK
Jela - Outfield
Coolhead (C) - Outfield
Adz - Outfield
Bogdan - Outfield
Cam - Outfield

Wouldnt mind playing when required in a Defensive postion.

Ok.

Lux is vital if we are to win games. I've played against lots of people who have made me look shit by passing the ball which is what we need to practice. Even if it's just passing to yourself off of the walls.

Another Defending Cleansheet with a good keeper in a public game.

Want to play with me? If anyone is interested just click the link. The password is podcast as usual. http://www.haxball.com/?roomid=a1b6c2e5bcac3d953b93aaa02239d90c09eabf42d110f1aa39e2077d9528d99d&pass=1

Make a game and we can practice this.

I'll send Lux a PM too.

Lux has joined.

Chip too.

I don't know if he's interested but Ahly is a good player.

I guess it depends on the size of the pitch, but passing is vital as you simply can't run across the pitch with the ball by yourself.....

Assuming that there's no rules...I would say that blocking/out-muscling opponents is a great tactic. If someone is on the ball....sometimes it's a good tactic to block/push opponents to keep the pressure off the person with possession. It's also important in general jostling....if two are fighting for the ball it's sometimes a good idea to push them further from the ball so that it's all yours to take.

It's also important to remember that there's an acceleration factor in the game......players that are stationary take a little bit of time to get up to full speed...so it's important to carry momentum.

Finally (I guess......) is to point out that simply following the ball like a sheep isn't always going to work. First and foremost you have to defend your goal...so it's good to say goalside (at least if no one else is)...

Pip can I join please?

I may not be the best player but I like playing!

if there is any spaces in the tournament can I be in it?

Bojan!!!

I'm interested in joining the team if yal want.

I'll be a back up squad player if you like. You get 2 for 1 with me. I can either be a ball playing Almunia, or I can be a world class poaching defensive Heskey.

You are all in.

Do you think I should make a seperate thread for this?

http://haxballnation.com/forums/index.php?board=8.0

Can we all join here too?

Not to troll by the way (Zlatan )

If you want me to add anything to the OP about the team then just post it. Pip seems more organised than me so he can sort things out if he wants as I'm lazy these days. If you want better ways to contact me than the forums then just ask or send me a PM.

Want a game now?

I will after dinner which is any time now.
