Just out of curiosity...
edit: had to edit the poll, Buzkashi is equivlient to Bukkaka ( == ), which is not the same as Buzkashi becoming the Bukkaka ( = ). Oh yeah, from hence forth... i will no longer ban people, I will band them. -- psi29a

^_^ thanks, that means a lot!
BTW: Buzkashi == http://www.afghan-web.com/sports/buzkashi.html
Wikipedia wrote:Buzkashi (from Persian بزکشی buzkashi, buz "goat" + kashi "drawing") is a traditional Afghan sport, played from horseback. The name translates literally to "goat grabbing", implying that the game originated in the ancient practice of horseback goat-nabbing during the times of Aryans. The Aryans were skilled horse-riders who could swoop up a goat while riding a horse at full gallop. The goal of a Buzkashi player is to grab the carcass of a calf, and then get it clear of the other players, or pitch it across a goal line.
Competition is typically fierce, as other players may use any force short of tripping the horse in order to thwart scoring attempts (though the use of knives or guns is discouraged). Riders usually wear heavy clothing and head protection to protect themselves from players' whips and boots. Games can last for several days.
The game consists of two main forms: Tudabarai and Qarajai. Tudabarai is considered to be the simpler form of the game; in this style, the goal is simply to grab the calf and move in any direction until clear of the other players. In Qarajai, players must carry the carcass around a flag or marker at one end of the field, then throw it into a scoring circle at the other end.
The calf in a Buzkashi game is normally beheaded, disemboweled and its limbs cut off, then soaked in cold water for 24 hours before play to toughen it. Occasionally sand is packed into the carcass to give it extra weight. Players may not strap the calf to their bodies or saddles.
Serious Buzkashi players train intensively for years, and many of the masters (called chapandaz) are over forty years old. Playing well also requires specially trained horses that know to stop still when a rider is thrown, and to gallop forcefully when their rider gets hold of the calf. These horses can sell for as much as $US 2,500.
A game of Buzkashi is featured in an early scene of Rambo III.
* The game is the core and subject of a novel by French Novelist Joseph Kessel titled Les Cavaliers (aka Horsemen) as well as of the film of the same title featuring Omar Sharif
* The game is also a key element in the book Caravans by James Michener and the film of the same name staring Anthony Quinn. A scene from the film featuring the King of Afghanistan watching a game is in fact Mohammed Zahir Shah. The whole sequence of the game being witnessed by the king was filmed on the Kabul Golf course where the national championships were played at the time the film was made.
I say we form the Mindwerks Buzkashi League, or otherwise termed the MBL!

At least in mindwerks it would seem.
And check out the last post on page 1 to see what I mean with quoting getting stupid.
A reply of a single line that has quoted text from two posts earlier that is ten times the size.
I'm sorry, but that breaks the flow of a thread tremendously.
I found one in Gaming the other day too, but it was late at night and I figured I'd get another chance at pointing out an example for you, and here we are.

This is a good question, I would say that it is because a lot of worthless spammers on the forum like to vote for stuff like this as opposed to something that will actually effect the way the forum works. The Forum Changes poll is far more important, perhaps it is because people don't check News and Support more often? I don't know, but there should be a lot more votes.Femto wrote:How come this shitty poll got more votes in less than one day compared to the 'forum changes' poll?
That is my take, and the original reason why I decided to merge those two sections into Off-the-wall, because no one goes there.Ayanami wrote:This is a good question, I would say that it is because a lot of worthless spammers on the forum like to vote for stuff like this as opposed to something that will actually effect the way the forum works.
