LoRab puts on some gloves made of leaves and shotputs the ball again in the net. She must have played ball in college. 5 MORE baskets are needed.

Opt rips off her shirt to show a basketball jersey. "Where did she get that?" Wilgy asks. Opt picks up a heavy ball, dribbles it a few times, sticks her tongue out a-la Michael Jordan and sinks it with ease. 4 More baskets are needed!

DH could hold off on losing his energy to this leg, it doesn't seem fair he should lose energy just because Boom doesn't check in.

That is correct. It is his prerogative if he wants to join another leg.

Heyooo! Good shots everyone. Let's get this locked up.

I'll shoot another heavy ball right now

Whoops I TOTALLY missed page two so I just read everything I missed after I posted my shot. Okay so it looks like I'm still good to do leg 2? Unclear on who else is shooting balls with me but I just confirmed a shot with a heavy ball so I'll wait for the results and then let's all keep shooting. Sounds like we need 6 more points (before the result of my shot) and I'm willing to shoot up to four more heavy balls depending on the results of my shot and everyone else's.

Scotty, can we get some clarity on that? And what it means to toss 'some' or 'all' balls?

If you are shooting balls, you may select any variation of ball size with each shot.

Once you have determined you are performing in leg 2, you may start shooting balls immediately. You can either shoot several balls at once, or take turns shooting with other players until I can get back to you. Shooting multiple balls at once, like Opt-Outside is proposing, means that I will calculate all of her shots in a row, and record the result.

If you are performing in leg 4, you must all agree in thread on which option you will take.

Does that make sense?

I've noted that Wilgy is doing leg 1, Opt is doing leg 2, DH is doing leg 3, and Golden is doing leg 4. To differentiate a proposition versus a decision, I ask that those either calling a number for untying, shooting balls or choosing an option in leg 4 BOLD their final decision. As of right now, Opt is proposing to shoot 5 heavy balls at once, so I will wait for a decision on that.

Okay! So I think instead of deciding how many of each I'll shoot ahead of time, I'll shoot one ball at a time and wait for the results. That will influence which balls we should all shoot next. So I'll start right now

I'm starting leg 2 and throwing one heavy ball to start

Hey J, I'll do leg 2. Ready for some athletic action! I'm thinking I'll shoot 5 heavy balls and see if I can play those odds to get a good chunk of the points in. Then I'll fall back on the light balls. I figure the other 2 helping will be able to get in some good shots as well. Any objections or thoughts before making that final?
