ulukinatme Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 The Mighty Giradda. I once was a non-believer. I scorned Huttball and anything that alluded to it. I agnoized anytime I saw the Huttball map on my loading screen upon hitting "Enter." In the end, I was broken. Somewhere amidst the dozens and dozens of matches each day I found the beauty that is Huttball. There are no silly nodes to cap or doors to guard. There are no endless waves of speeders bringing swift reinforcements in scheduled patterns. No, just two goallines, a Huttball, and pits of destruction in between. The beautiful arc of the ball, the cries of the many thrown from the catwalks, the smell of burning Twi'lek in the fire pit...it's like a great symphony to be enjoyed. If you have not already accepted the mighty Giradda as your personal lord and savior, you soon will. You soon will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ulukinatme Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 Lord Giradda smiled on me this morning. He was most favorable and granted me all wins in Huttball from 2am-noon. Repent, non-believers! The day of your reckoning has come and ye shall be judged by the obese one. Join the church of Huttology today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grubfist Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 (edited) And the mighty prophet Deathmark did say: "This match needs some excitement! Let's mix it up!" Edited February 23, 2012 by Grubfist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulukinatme Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 And the mighty prophet Deathmark did say: "This match needs some excitement! Let's mix it up!" Indeed. The Mighty Giradda did decree that the opposition must meet a grim demise for their failure, so I preached to our team to hold the ball indefinitely after 5 goals and punish the heathens with many deaths.

ulukinatme Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 Fact: The mighty Giradda invented the forward pass in 1923, but to this day some Huttball teams still only prefer to employ a running attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AstralProjection Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I chuckled : ) I've always liked Huttball though. Nothing wrong with forcing MMO players to do something new. People are just so resistant to change it takes a minute to catch on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzone Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I kicked the ball once. I told Mighty Giradda it was an accident. Not only did he take revenge on me, he took revenge on my entire team. He allowed 5 more to join the other side. We got farmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PostalTwinkie Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) Huttball is by far my favorite, second would be Alderran, and the Republic can just have the Voidstar, that thing is a pile of ****. It was never lost, we just didn't want it anymore! Edited February 24, 2012 by PostalTwinkie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahhmyface Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 (edited) Harken unto mine words! Listen unto the commandments of holy Huttball! There shall be two sects, Frog-dogs and Rotworms, chosen by the divine hand of fortune. There shall be but one holy sphere, perilously evasive, like unto an oiled Hutt. Seize the sphere, send it shimmering through the heavens, and through all things might thou bringest the holy sphere into the deepest fortitude of thine enemy, for thou shalt receive one point. Draw your weapons, curse your enemy, and care not about goodly conduct. Though, above all things, thou shalt not use thine lower appendages to propel the holy sphere, for this is abominable in the eyes of the lord. Our lord doth lack such appendages, and he is a jealous god. Forthwith thou shalt make thine path a tribute to Girradda... - Prophet Deathmark Edited February 24, 2012 by Ahhmyface Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahhmyface Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 for me Voidstar > Hutball > Alderaan Alderaan sucks. Defense in that game is basically repeatedly suiciding yourself on the point and respawn fast enough to do it again. Offense is finding a point with idiots that don't pay attention and ninjaing it. The only time you ever cap a point thanks to, yknow, beating your opponent, is when the teams are extremely one sided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
