Question for Non-Hamiltonians

[pyat]

Did you ever play "Ledgies?"

Googling, the only references I can find to the word as a game seem to be from Blogs written by Hamiltonians, and more specifically, East Enders.

I never played Ledgies because I was afraid / too superior to ask how it was played.

Is this like playing "The Game"? Where even thinking about "The Game" means you lose the Game? And then you have to say "Oh, I just lost The Game" so everyone around you also loses The Game as well? And there's no ACTUAL GAME except Not Thinking About the Game...???

Or do only my jerk friends play that one?

It is not like that game, which sounds stupid. :)

It involved throwing a tennis ball at a ledge on the wall of the school so that it would bounce a certain way. A lot of schools in Hamilton were built around WWI with the same basic architectural details, and it seems Ledgies was played at those schools, but nowhere else.

We played "Wall Ball" growing up, getting the ball to bounce a particular way to send your opponent chasing it... but alas, no cool architecture.

Argh! I got introduced to the Game at Midwest Furfest, and had managed to forget about it.

Now you made me lose the Game!

I firmly believe you can't lose the game if you refuse to play it. Heh.

I've also decided to shout "I WIN!" every time someone loses the game.
