| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | hey! |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | hi |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | vball questions! |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | yes |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | what's that called when players run to the specific spots on the floor (ie. power, offpower, etc) |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | switching to your position? |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | ok. from left to right, what are the names for the front line? |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | power middle offside (or setter), depending on how you play, or if 4 play 3 hitters it's power middle setter offside |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | some people call offside right hitter |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | oh, it's Middle blocker |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | | | ok. ok. start over. i'm a bit confused. go from left to right with a comma seperating the positions |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | power, middle blocker, offside |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | what about the back row? |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | same |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | that's after u switch |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | ok then |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | hm...but then there's someone called libero |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | that's new rules |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | ok |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | how come we always did boy-girl-boy instead of moving people to their best position? |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | ie tall people who can spike move to the front |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | because eventually short ppl will have to be in the front too |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | if you're in the back u can't go hit until u play front, unless u jump from behind the attack line |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | ok |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | but |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | i thought they don't keep track of that stuff in house league? |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | of wat stuff |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | people in the back row hit in front of the attack line |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | that's illegal :P |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | we have established that, but wouldn't you be able to get away with it in house league? |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | now unless the ref sucks and doesn't care |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | *no |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | ok. fair enough, but if there's no ref, shouldn't we play in our best positions? |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | no cuz that's just cheating |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | it's like saying....if there's no ref in bball, why can't u just run with the ball? |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | hm |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | good poitn |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | ok |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | another question |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | this is direct at people like you |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | what's the point of spiking the ball? it takes the same trajectory as setting it except it's much less accurate and has a higher chance of failure compared with a set |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | the only advantage i see is that the ball travels a bit more quickly |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | it's not a bit more quickly, it's a lot more quickly and harder |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | and many ppl can get it very accurately |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | ok, but for short people the ball takes a different trajectory so the increased speed isn't that big of a deal |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | nah, i still think my spikes are way more efficient than my sets |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | setting to them is like a free ball, no good |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | ok. |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | but how many sets have you screwed up? |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | setting over the net? |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | yeah |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | not many i totally see what u mean but really, what's volleyball without spiking? that's just wussy play ! |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | spiking is for people who can actually spike the ball down at the correct trajectory! |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | and on that note, i think i should set instead of spiking as well |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | how are u gonna learn if you don't practice? |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | no, u should just learn to spike properly |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | how are you gonna learn? how does this apply to people who will never reach over the net unless they cross breed with a kangeroo? |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | i'm short i can still spike downwards |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | on the rare occassion i can even spike into their attack zone |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | ok, can you reach over the net? (personally, i barely can) |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | no obviously |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | brb, laundry |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | ok, if you can't reach over the net, how can you spike downwards? |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | ok. if i disappear for whatever reason, it's stupid wireless |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) says: ok, if you can't reach over the net, how can you spike downwards? Jane Doe says: i wonder about that too Jane Doe says: but i think it's about the spin on the ball Jane Doe says: i think when u try to hit you have no spin on it so it just goes straight out Jane Doe says: have u'v |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe says: have u've gone to drop in with me before? |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | um yeah |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | those crazy good asians |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | yep |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | i think when u try to hit you have no spin on it so it just goes straight out ----> huh? |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | ur ball doesn't spin forward to go down...it just floats out |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | when spiking? |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | yep |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | ? |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | so the ball doesn't go downwards during a spike? |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | urs from what i remember doesn't |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | argh |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | i meant your spike |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | i know my spike doesn't go downward |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | hahah yeah that's what i'm saying! |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | so it doesn't go straight downward? |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | mine? |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | yours? |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | yours as in you |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | it depends if i get on top of the ball when i hit it |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | it's about timing |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | but you can't touch the top of the net! how can the ball go downward? |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | if the ball went downward, it'd go under or into the net |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | yeah that's why i said i wonder about that too :P |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | so in conclusion, when you spike, the ball goes up and over the net before being pulled down by gravity |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | like a elongated inverted 'U' |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | yeah but it doesn't mean that it's like a set |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | but in terms of trajectory, more or less the same |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | nope |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | cuz a set, the U is more even on both sides |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | spike it's more like inverted check mark |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | ok fair enough |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | but for most girls, don't you think they should set instead of spiking? |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | cuz most girls usually screw up spiking |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | no, that's so pessimistic of you :P u keep hitiing till u get better |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | ok true, but in most cases, the girls aren't going to get better. so they should go for the safe play instead of the high risk, minimal benefit play? yay/nay? |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | no way, they will get better for sure! |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | but the problem is that the girls don't use the right technique and if someone like you is not around, they'll continue using the wrong technique, yay/nay? |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | no, i think they will self teach them selves up to a point |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | like say they were fluky got a good hit |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | they will try to learn on that |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | ok that's true for someone who is competitive such as yourself |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | but for a lot of girls ('ohh i just want to play for fun'), they don't pick up on this and they'll continue doing the wrong thing |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | yay/nay? |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | then they shouldn't play :P |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | so then. all things considered, these type of girls should go for the safe play instead of a risky play? |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | well yeah if they don't care about playing they should just do wathever to get it over |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | ok |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | oh yeah, i'm on another vball team this term |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | i keep telling myself 'oh i'll be happy if we win one set', but then in the game, my competitive instincts just take over |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | even though we stink |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | house league? |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | yeah |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | house stinks |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | brb |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | ok |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | eh? what's your opinion on house? |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | hurry. wireless is about to drop me any second now |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | back? |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | hi |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | house.....ppl don't know how to play and they don't know the rules |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | so when i ref them i'm easier |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | not so up tight |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | any other reasons? |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | or else i'd call everything :P |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | any other reasons? |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | reasons for? |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | disliking house league? |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | they don't know how to play they don't know rules not competitive enuf for me |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | isn't tier 1 the next one up? |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | yes |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | how big is the skill level jump between house and tier 1? |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | pretty big |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | alright |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | agree or disagree, one of the big appeals of house vball is the relatively lack of physical activity? |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | appeals? |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | something that attracts people |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | haha attracts lazy ppl? |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | like one of the appeals of ice cream is sweetness |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | agree or disagree? |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | sweetness if yummy |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | lazy is just lazy |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | house...more like...i think ppl that wanna play competitive but don't know how |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | agree or disagree about my comment? |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | i don't know |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | well i'll explain my opinion |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | in vball, you effectively stand around (the lazy people anyways) most of the game |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | whereas in hockey, bball, ultimate or whatever, it's obvious when you're not working hard enough (ie, the other person has a 10 ft lead on you) |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | yay/nay? |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | yeah cuz in other sports it covers more ground |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | hence the appeal of house league vball. |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | and hence why longboat is bigger than storm the wall. |
| | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | Jane Doe | | if you slack off in the boat, it's unlikely anyone will notice |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | yeah everyone thinks they can paddle |
| | Jane Doe | | Edward (ubc wireless - avoid like the plague) | | u say run, ppl get scared |
