Mafia Off Season Thread

pickleball looks really fun, but are there actual pickleball courts? the vid I just watched said it's the same as a badminton court, but I have never seen a badminton court. I am an amazing ping pong player, a very good tennis player, and a decent racquetball player, so I think I would crush this.
 
lots of tennis courts are being converted to p-ball courts -- pretty straightforward one tennis court to two p-ball court conversion -- lots of communities pushing for more permanent courts

there are also a lot of tennis courts that paint pickleball lines on them and then folks bring their own nets or the park district will loan them out

definitely some tennis/pickleball tension in some spots, but one spot I play is the p-ball lines on tennis courts and all eight p-ball spots were taken without a tennis player to be seen


you sound like you have a great background for pickleball -- biggest adjustment is learning the mechanics of the kitchen and strategy -- have to unlearn some tennis instincts
 
I feel like board pickleball tournament has to happen now. If anyone wants to drive to the middle of nowhere Georgia in July, I have courts, I think.

I think given Toogs' tennis, ping pong, and racquetball prowess, he should host and teach us all his ways

Has anyone tried this pickleball thing? Played for the first time a couple of weeks ago, it was fun - like tennis for out of shape people.

I played with my wife the other day for the first time, it was very fun

Gooner do you still work as a waiter out at the Legends? It was like a sushi shop or something?

It was a steakhouse and no, I do not. Though some days I would love to go back and time to do that again, better than my current job a lot of the time. And free food and beer.
 
So when are we testing out the new boards with a train wreck of a mafia game?

I'm fairly sure I could mod a game sometime soon if people are interested

If we get a few people like Diggler that post interest in this thread I'll start a sign up thread.

I have a dream of running a theme game, but I have my doubts we could get the numbers. If we got like 14+ I'd do it though.
