Bacchus Ball is a new game invented by (believe it or not) the Bacchus.

The Game:

The idea of the game is for one person to throw a ball at/to the 'batter' (usually using a club, staff or musical instrument). When/if they hit it, they have to run all the way round in a sort of circle, reaching an unspecified point to score a 'run'.

The Rules:

1. If the batter is hit/touched by the ball at any time during his run, he is a failure. No run scored.
2. There are no other rules! Hitting, kicking, distracting (for members of the brothel), use of magic and anything else that can be dreamed up, is perfectly acceptable. This can lead on to other games, Ed-Tennis for example, which is very much dependent on whether House Karlennon are having a meeting or not.

At the Harts Great Council, a lengthy game was been played, with no one scoring a single run. Due to our expertise with our very own specialised game, we challenged House Karlennon to a game. All declined except Cai. Knowing that victory and honour would soon be ours (especially as we forgot to tell him about all of the rules), we let him bat first. Cai then proceeded to complete the circuit and be the first person ever to get a run at Bacchus Ball.

Single handily, Cai was victorious over all of the Bacchus present. I think this deserves some special mention, and I shall put it to George that Kai should be honoured for his performance, by being allowed to drink from the Cup of Bacchus at morning worship one time.

If anybody is interested in Bacchus-Ball, please let me know.
