It has to be some combination of skills ie Running, projectiles, blocking, etc. But if anyone tells you they are playing dodgeball for real tell them to RED ENGINE GO themselves...

This thread has saddened me beyond my years. Are there really so few left who actually know how this game got to where it is now from where it started?

dudes, greatest game ever, oldschool as hell, used to play this 24/7 back in o5-o6, another variant which was much friggin harder was ranger dodge ball, no armor, shortbows, savage and distracting shots.

dodgeball was invented 15th of may 2006.

The original build had only 4 skills: lightening orb, air attunement, elemental attunement and windborne speed

Funny how I remember I joined one of the spamming guilds during my first week in Guild Wars, and they played dodgeball..... And I started GW in 2005. You don't know what your talking about. I don't know the inventor is but your wrong.

No respectful dodgeball game includes Shock (or any other touch skills).

Dodgeball is composed of two teams on separate sides of an area, and they are not allowed to go across midfield. Didn't you people go to elementary school gym class?

Resurrection Sig is optional, and can make the game last a little longer, but BlueSS has the other 4 skills correct.

Here's the/an old article posted up by Adam Sunstrom. I'm sure it existed way before it was published here. Since then, it's evolved to include or use other skills as is evident by some of the replies thus far.

Used to play it a bit untill weekends became 'special weekend this or that' and most want to AB/TA/RA now, too.

I almost 99% sure that dogdeball was invented by Wee Free Men (who were in an alliance with me for a while), a British based guild that used to play HA a lot as blood/air spikers. They would play dogdeball when they were bored/didn't have enough members on for a HA run. Their guild was technically registered for the region of Japan (to allow kanji's to be used in their guild's tag). They were fairly well known at the time since they were the only reason Japan ever got favor and HA wins.

I believe BlueSS is correct about the skills. Dragonball was inspired by it, not the other way around (thus why Kowtow, a version of shock, exists in the official version of dragonball). And no, no interupt.

I host Dodgeball battles for plat within our alliance every 4 months or so and are due another one next month. Its good for some friendly competition and a giggle. We've also made our own similar mini game off the back of it.

You have a bad memory.

The guild called "Wee Free Men" invented it and Tiyuri was the person who posted the details how to play it. I though this was common knowledge, but I guess most people here are not old enough to remember that.

and by the way, I play dodgeball almost everyday. I started playing it 2 years ago when I saw Tiyuri's post. It's pretty much the only thing I do.

See the date when those messages were posted? You wont find any information about dodgeball before that no matter how hard you search.

Love this idea.


First I heard of dodgeball was when Tiyuri posted about it on TGH.

[edit]
Aparently my memory is fuzzy.
