during my time hanging out in plexus this test, i got to know Ball very well. as it turns out, you don't need to be an admin with hitting power to bounce it around! any movement that deflects Ball off your glitch is enough to send it zooming away.
after completing the purple power installation, i got to lead a conga line. congas in plexus are a whole new level of fun, but when you add Ball? congaball!
congaball can be competitive or non-competitive. with a single conga line, you get a few points when the leader hits Ball, but more points if you can get Ball to bounce off somebody further back in the line. you can catch and trap Ball by keeping it in contact with the conga line. if you can do this until it disappears and reappears elsewhere, you get lots of points! when you do this in multi-team congaball, this is a scrum and there are no points.
the only trick here is that due to Ball's cuddly nature, congaball can have timeouts at any time that Ball decides to take a nap with a sleeper or somebody who is just standing still and doing other things. it would be good if the swarm-and-poof trick worked in this case so as to be able to force Ball back into play, but for now it just adds an element of unpredictability to the game.
congaball!
