X-Sock--Do you have what it takes?

[Mango]

Ok, so your in a town that you are unfamiliar with. Not much to do. It's late, so someone rolls up a sock and pelts you with it. You pick it up, and pelt them back. This gets more heated, and what do you have? An extreme sock battle. Or, when its a bunch of tourney paintballers, you have X-Sock!!!!!

For this game, the only object you need is:

and you are ready to play!!!!

First, you eye up the shot. As demostrated by Extreme Sock player CaPoEiRa!

Then you make a stupid face and take a shot right in the eye while trying to play the snake! As demostrated by yours truely.

As the game heats up, outside objects are often utilized against players. Gunga demonstrates "Bucket Head" by trying to knock CaPoEiRa out of play for a few seconds.

A 3 minute penalty can be called if the sock:
A.)Gets shot into the toilet
B.)If Guest Services knocks on your door


So watch out America, X-Sock is sweeping the country! Hide the kids and lock the doors! :D :p

[spacemanspiff]

Oh yes I remember that pelting I got. Everyone was at about 1 sps(sock per sec.) but towards the end of the event some were reaching the threshold of 2sps:D :p I'll be practicing and be ready for a rematch.

[magking1971]

[rhetor22]

SLING SOCK!!!!!!

[personman]

I did something liek that one time at my conformation thing... except it was with TP.. We pulled a tab of tp out and just let it fly, we threw from bed to bed.. well, lets just say that some idiot came in, put a tp roll in the toilet, and then told on us. Well, we got in a huge amount of trouble, had to clean up all the toilet paper, and fish the roll out of the toilet.. :( Then we got yelled at some more :(

AYE, at boarding school we always play x sock. but as encouragement we put about 3 bux in quarters in the sock, that makes it alot more fun, they go further, faster, and hit harder so you want to move more. The other game we play is called 2 bit operation. let me explain:

Ok first off, you need the chair of stupididty. We used a big silver inflatable chair for this.

Then you need the ball of smartness. It is a tenis ball loaded with change, and duct tape around it

Then ther other person sits in the chair of geniosity.

The person in the chair of geniosity then takes the stick of disentary (a lacrosse stick) and uses it like a hockey stick.

The person in the chair of stupidity dons a lacrosse helmet, a cup, and something to cover he stomach if wanted.

Then they procede to have the ball whipped at em. The person in the chair of geniosity has 5 minutes to hit the person in the chest and arms as many times as he can before it is his turn.

Ok this may sound retarted, and it is, but it is seriously alot of fun. I am not joking. I encourage you all to try it, yet i am in no way held responsible for it, neither is agd or AO. It really gives you an extreme adrenalin ruch when a big ball o change is zooming towards your head

[paintbattler]

lol thats funny..X SOCK

[Clare]

we'll most probably be playing again at world cup if anyone is interested :p ;)

[magman007]

cap remember, put atleast a dollar in quarters in the sock, its sooooo much more fun, and i think you big mean paintballers may be able to handel it. If your realy extreme, but a supperbolt 2 in the center of the sock the roll it up, that is fun, we did it with my buddys old supperbolt. ANd plerase, try 2 bit opperation

[MikeCouves]

Sock war? Babies! You need to experience penny battles. You get bags and bags of pennies, fill your pockets, and have a war with like 5-6 people in a big house. It's fun because the pennies hurt when they hit you, so it keeps you on your toes, like paintball.

It's also very refreshing when you pick off someone in the face and they fall down 14 stairs (don't worry, they were carpet :D.)

Try that too! Just don't flick them at glass (learned the hard way).

[Archangel Kid]

lol no u no what u do is all of us AOers going to the World Cup get a strip of rooms on the same side of the hallway, cause u no how they have the doors that lead to the other rooms LOL.... have like 15 pairs of socks and run down the strip of rooms doing a run by.... ohh lemme tell ya that'll start a X-Sock WAR LOL.... i'll be amazed if were ever allowed in their hotel again LOL...

[Clare]

cap remember, put atleast a dollar in quarters in the sock, its sooooo much more fun, and i think you big mean paintballers may be able to handel it

I just remembered part of a dream I recently
had: an AOer hit me with a sock full of pennies at an AO day and it hurt!

[Mango]

And then I came out and hit them with a baseball bat right? :p

[Clare]

uh, sure..


ya weirdo
:p

[Archangel Damien]

[Mango]

CaPoEiRa did! Gunga was the first victim of her vicious attack!! Square in the face, BAM! :D

After that it was war!! :p

[Clare]

[Blazestorm]

I got a lot of socks... you can share...

*Secretly plots plans on how to get SprayingMango in the face*

[Mango]

HAHAH! Capo has beat you to it, many times! The worst was takeing a wet X-Towel to the face from her, that stung!

[Archangel Damien]
