How about playing whenever you feel like it.
And post when you feel like you have something (clever/fun..) to say.

We're back to zero here.

i suspect this is a result of my vicious cycle of posting.

It's a great idea nevertheless, if anyone were to need a reason to play.

20 minutes? Try an hour. This place would be a ghost town.

I'd have to play 2 hours every day! I'll get to work.

Dave -- what are you trying to do? Kill some people on here??

The body can only withstand so much exercise.

No offense at all, but not everybody has time to play footbag everyday. Some people post on modified on their lunch break at work, or when they're eating dinner, or as a quick break from studying. These people will naturally post more than they play. Not everybody is a high school or college student, or is willing or able to drop out of school for a semester (or forgo a difficult job) for footbag; some people can't afford to do that. If people are posting on modified when they have the option to play then that's sad, but you should be aware that for many people it's not an either/or choice.

Some people are also physically unable to play

let's hold a vote.

what is more likely to happen if everyone followed david's rule?

1) there would be a drastic increase in the amount of time people played footbag.

2) there would be a drastic decrease in posting on modified.

I vote 2.

BenRea · Post by **BenRea** » 31 Jan 2008 19:25

2!

i would like to add a 3rd option:

3.) I would burn out

my post count is worth 46 Days or over 1,100 hours of play according to your rule...

play more. a lot more!

david · Post by **david** » 31 Jan 2008 22:12

It is simply that I feel a lot of people just talk about footbag and don't actually play. Of course I understand people are busy, of course I posted when I was hurt, its just a general idea that I feel could help people out and maybe lead to more thoughtful posts.

And would a drastic drop in posting be such a bad thing if it was replaced by players who actually hit the tricks they talk about? Would it be bad if people knew more about playing and could thus make better posts backed by experience?

mc · Post by mc » 31 Jan 2008 22:43

a drastic increase in playing worldwide would be a great thing for the sport, and endlessly beneficial if it actually happened.

do I think it will happen?

no.

it's no mystery why people say, "talk is cheap". That's one reason why people "spend" their talking (IE: posting on modified) more so than they spend their time working hard to be a better footbagger.

in regards to ANY subject, there are a lot more talkers than doers. it's an unfortunate fact.

I'm not against your principle, david. I just don't feel it's realistic.
