Speedball - want opinions on something.

[Volcs]

Accord> wht is cherry pickn
volcs> when you wait for the other team to score and steal the ball as soon as it pops up
Debaser> being at the enemy gola all day
volcs> that isnt cherry picking
volcs> no wonder you were whining about cherry picking when there was no actual cherry picking going on
volcs> ever played HZ?
Debaser> listren
Debaser> i dont care
Debaser> what the hell it is you heard from god knows who
volcs> cherry picking is waiting for the ball to pop up
volcs> you're fucking retarded
Debaser> waiting for the ball to pop?
Debaser> no thats just warping out
volcs> ... exactly why i didnt get why you were bitching about cherry picking
Debaser> why do such morons play this
volcs> i dunno, maybe you should quit

So, in HZ cherry picking is not playing defense and just waiting for the ball to pop up to go for a breakaway, is the speedball term different? am I wrong? Is the speedball term for "cherry picking" just goaltending?
Please, educate me.

Camping the center w/o playing defence/offence is "Cherry Picking" the ball in the center. We should also have a rule against camping the goal as well.

[Evasive]

Sorry, but you both appear to be wrong.

This is cherrypicking:

and just because this is funny:

I think cherry-picking means waiting in the goal for someone to pass to you, but the other reason seems to make more sense. IDK though, they both seem troublesome.

[Saturn V]

Both you (volcs) and Debaser need to be shot. Oh, and I await your demeaning, pseudo-clever response about how I'm a newb, or stupid, etc.

[iKillburger]

correct SB meaning:

I think cherry-picking means waiting in the goal for someone to pass to you

However, I have heard that in HZ people call warping to the center after a goal cherry-picking

[Latrine]

I agree with SaturnIB, even though he's a stupid newb.

PS - The only thing that is illegal in SB is waiting in the opposing team's goal when the ball is on your side of the court. I don't remember if it was called cherry picking or not, but that's the only rule in SB. Spawning and waiting for the ball to spawn are perfectly legal. (Oh, and balls that phase in from outside of the goal area also don't count in organized games.)

Real hatred spawns PUNCHING not shooting, fucking amateur ass rooks.

[Divine Rides]

first off, I don't give one shit what anyone in HZ thinks a cherry pick is, right or wrong, so don't start your argument citing them/there. secondly, people's opinions on this board don't "clear it up". cherry picking, in sports, is waiting downfield (by opponent goal) waiting for a long lob to make an easy score. Are we really going to fucking have a whole thread that's a semantic argument about what defines a "cherry pick"? really?

Why are you guys typing so much in there?

and just because this is funny:

no it wasn't/isn't.

Look at the first few lines you type there, totally aggressive and antagonizing, then you try this "chill out, take a midol" bit, and now make this post trying to make debaser look bad? Let's ask HZ how they define 'pety'.
You cannot possibly need this much attention/validation.



Can we play some fucking speedball? jesus fucking christ.

Because apparently people will bitch about shit without reading, a repost from the last in this long line of speedball threads:

Because Mr Mike's Engrish is terrible, this is THE single most commonly made mistake about the speedball rules, so lets clear it up right now:

Being inside your goal on defense is NOT, I repeat NOT, illegal.

Being inside the rocks (crease? goalbox?) of the goal you score on while the ball is past the halfcourt line IS illegal, you are offsides/cherry picking (think soccer).

And under competitive speedball rules you can be warned, then specced for failing to clear the box. If you were going to set a bot up to police it, the bot would need to track the ball and warn offending players that they had 5 seconds to clear the rocks or be specced/warped to the center. Cherrypicking is also one of the reasons SB had wormhole grav disabled and ball prox decreased. You shouldn't be able to catch a pass that wouldn't clear the defensive rocks while sitting inside the crease.


Lets just agree that area inside the defensive rocks is the crease, k?

I hope this clears up the confusion.

Where did I try to make him look bad? By copy pasting what both of us had said? If what he said in public chat makes him look bad, it isn't my issue.

And yes, clearly a post asking for clarification on a speedball term is just begging for attention.
If I were asking for validation, I would say "tell me I'm right" as opposed to "So, in HZ cherry picking is not playing defense and just waiting for the ball to pop up to go for a breakaway, is the speedball term different? am I wrong? Is the speedball term for "cherry picking" just goaltending?
Please, educate me."

[Volcs]

I hope this clears up the confusion.

Well, it would if everyone wasn't saying different things :S Thanks, though. If that is right, then:

Sorry Debaser, I was wrong about the cherrypicking.

[AnidaLife]

who cares.. if you are good enough you wouldn't worry about cherry picking because then the opponent is a man down. But then again Debaser's the one that complained about spawning while waiting for the ball to spawn, so I guess he just likes to bitch about random stuff to receive attention.
