Raise a pint to the ball!
I have arrived to advocate the Big Red Ball!
Now that Big Red Ball has my big red blessing, it shall come to pass.

Um...loving the "BRB" (I keep reading this be right back) is NOT unique...
Now...about that person...well he was anpther rebel. Praise HIM (and me...actually praise me more...screw him) not the ball!
The big red ball is evil I tell you...EVIL! Why do you think it's red? Because it was taken from CoV.
Why is it big? TO DESTROY HUMANITY!
Now here's my idea...BEHOLD THE ULTIMATE AND MOST AMAZING...
BIG BLUE BALL!
Big blue ball is way better than big red ball...first of all, it sounds cooler in short form (comparing BBB to BRB...BRB? ew!)
Second of all, it's BLUE! It's got a soothing color!
Third of all, it's slightly bigger than the big red ball! So take that all you BRB lovers!
JOIN THE BBB COMMUNITY AND I PROMISE YOU ETERNAL GLORY!
Agreed. The Big Red Balls are evil. and Big Blue Balls well have an unfortunate connotation.
So lets get a Big Gold Ball.
and no I'm not biased in any way. 
Vote Gold! And Vote Often!

You are just saying that because you like gold!
Now I'm saying BBB because it helps humanity!
And BBB isn't a unfortunate connotation...Big Gold Ball is:
1. Hard to pronounce (Big GGGGGggold Ball...sometimes turns into Biggo Ball...[censored]!)
2. Reminds me of Gold Member...
So SHUSH AND BOW TO BBB!
I'm so gonna be petitioned by the OP...lol

Why are you sad? Is BRB bothering you? Well come to the BBB side! It's much more fun!
On the BBB side:
- You'll be "Unique" or "You-Nick"
- You'll be awarded the BRB SLAYER badge
- And all your s will be changed into 
s
See!
If someone doesn't stop me I might start a new thred to start a serious war between to bandwagons!
But it won't be as effective as BRB (Not because BBB sucks...but because BBB is like Jesus...good but unpopular)...and I'll be sitting watching the replies go up by one every month or so...so...
I'll just advertise it here
Oh great. Now we'll get posts from everywhere.
Then _Castle_ will post again and tell us we won't be able to have a BRB.

That was pretty much my reaction, too.
All the physics are client side only, and no information about them is passed from client to server -- so, it's strictly a visual on your machine. That means, there is no way for people to play volleyball, or kickball. We could put one in that only you, the player, would see, but I imagine that isn't what everyone would like.
Sorry, folks.

Aww...
Thanks for the information though. anychance of making it into an MOB, AV or Monster with no knockback protection, and no attacks?

Make it a "perma temp power" for completing a Taskforce or something odd like a mission from a crazy clown.
Then just something we see but can have fun with wherever we go

What if you made the ball a Giant Monster that happened to have no attacks what-so-ever. Then we could all play with the BRB right?

perma temp power.... uh.. ok... but how do you have a permanant temporary power? wouldn't it be better as an accolade?

actually, I think it would be fun to have it anyway... if you could make it targetable.. it'd be a TON of fun for people to run around atlas with their blasters, shooting at what looks like a random location to all the awestruck noobies!
Hmmm... So you could not make it 'villain' for targeting purposes and have all damage count as direction movement? I understand the physics our on our side (having run two accounts side by side I notice some funny things) but it would be pretty interesting to see the ball suddenly make a course correction.
Course... it would create some server lag.

What's wrong with just making it a targettable object with 100% damage resistance and 100% knockback vulnerability?
As far as I'm aware knockback is server side... right?

That would make sense (from a programmer's perspective, albeit one with no insight into the specific code here) to me. If I were given the task of implementing the BRB, I would:
1) Make it a mob. Give it no attacks, and a zero movement rate. I don't know if it'd be possible to code it to follow the ragdoll physics (i.e. roll down hills) if it ain't dead, but if it's possible, do that.
2) Make it spawn via the Giant Monster rules. I say this because GMs already seem to spawn, for the most part, on a one-per-zone basis... although I've seen reports of two Luscas in IP before. Possibly via the *triggered* GM rules (i.e. have something in-zone to trigger it, somewhat like Caleb is a triggered GM spawn).
3) Make it immune to hold/sleep/immob/confuse/fear/etc.. everything but Knock* effects.
4) Give it Hamidon-level HP and resists, but no regen or healing capabilities (as if it was affected by MoG's anti-healing effect). Yes, this means it'd be possible to pop the BRB if you play with it too roughly.
Again, disclaimer: This is what I think *ought* to be possible from what I can see outside the system. It's entirely possible that something exists that Castle can see that I can't.
