*claps* Kudos, for an excellent suggestion. A fun little bit of nonsense that the players can use to amuse themselves.
5 stars. ;-)

I figure the solution to ball hogs, this being CoX, would be to simply take it away from them. They're hogging the ball? Shoot it! Punch it! Fly in from 30,000 feet and hit it with a nuke!
the problem would be the ball hog hiding behind a dumpster with brawl on auto hitting against a wall. it would be hard to find and hard to take back. Basically the way i see it is that the ball should have no positive or negative ramifications for hitting it, it should just be there for you to hit if you feel like it.
I'm with the bug on this one, or alternatively make there be a badge for hitting it, but only require 1 or 2 hits.

Heck make a SG badge to unlock it so you can put a ball on the base. 
SGs everywhere will me making a room soccer style for events.

I would like to see the Big Red Ball have more cow bell
/sign
I'm definately for this!!
I'd love to see an arena made where teams could square off and do like a soccer match. You could even do a Heroes vs Villains match.. that would rock so hard. I hope the Devs consider this one. 
Because everybody ELSE just MUST be inflicted with the song going thru my head since I started reading this thread:
'I'm upper-upper class high society
God's gift to ballroom notoriety
I always fill my ballroom, the event is never small
The social pages say I've got...the biggest balls of all...'
This idea is totally, completely and utterly silly...sign up this silly rabbit
'I've got big balls
I've got big balls
And they're such big balls
Dancy big balls
He's got big balls
She's got big balls
But we've got the biggest, balls of them all!'
GIVE US BALL

Issue Eight: Big Red Ball!
[/ QUOTE ]
OMG i was just thinking that xD
only read up to page 10 of this thread...
BIG RED BALL SATURDAYS!!!
Every saturday from 12-3(or whatever) have the BRBs spawn all over paragon.... picture standing on top of atlas city hall waiting for 12.... a flash of light high in the sky causes your heart to race.... 50 some odd BRBs appear in random locations above the atlas statue then drop onto the great orb he holds bouncing off all across the zone... Everyone scatters off to find and pummle them for the next three hours!!!
Limited public ball time would ensure they never grow stale and that you would never have trouble finding others to Big red ball with!
( have baddies play with Big red balls and only attack in defense so lowbies can join in without worry? )
Also open a BRB shop (Called: Kythorn's little Big red ball shop! 
) somewhere in paragon where for an outrageously large fee you can purchase yourself a Big Red Ball accolade that lets you summon.... A Big red ball!
In my dreams.... various temp or inherent powers allow you to pick up,throw, dribble, foot juggle, squeeze ^^, and drop kick your Big red ball as well as anything else you can think of!
(In order to prevent any BRB type advantages... Not usable during missions or in PVP zones, long inturuptable activation time... SniperX3 to 5, NPCs will attack-oneshot-pop/deflate your ball >=[ )
on top of that throw in say... 10,000³ various BRB arena matchs and a few places around paragon designed for BRB tom foolary while they are out or not.
-BRB based badges
-Unimportant NPCs (civilians, baddies, get super KBed by mobalized BRBs for hilarious fun ^^
-States'n pals join in the fun during Big red ball saturdays
-Comicaly Exaggerated bouncing noises
-Tiny chance to have the ball bounce you when attacked ^^
-=WELCOME TO ZERO'S MIND=-
The Zero soldier is sitting at the Atlas park yellow line exit dock waiting... in a trance...
Then, the hero called Darkady Dark Shadoe healer demon blade of flame. InUyAsHoE the katana regen scrapper (O_o) climbs out of the car that just arrived. ZS jumps to his feet and shouts " I CHALLENGE YOU, TO BIG RED BALL!!!11!!" After summoning hes trusty ball with the accolade he made up for this thread, the two of the immediatly began to wollop the BRB all across Atlas in what wasnt to be remember as the greatest game of Big red ball that never took place... Each hero attacking the Big red ball with all their might... each with with different objectives in mind that they had made up and kept to themselves pretending the opposition was dead set on preventing them from achieving those goals... About 35 hours later ZS proceeded to pass out from sleep depravation and hunger... He awoke later in a hospital, positive that he had been victorious.
-=Did you actualy read that crap?=-

*I hardly put any thought into this stuff at all, so dont take them too seriously. Also i have absolutely nothing against people whos names contain the words: Dark, Shadow, Healer, Blade, Flame, Demon, Inuyasha, or any altared versions of them. Nore do i have anything against Katana/Regen scrappers... just figured someone out there would find the joke as funny as i did.*
The coming of the Big red ball is inevitable, as I have forseen it.
This has got to be the absolute, bestest, most amazing idea ever posted on the suggestion boards.
+1 for BRB!
awesome idea! i just hope my katana scrapper woulden't destroy the ball
but imagine all the catgirls chasing that ball around, batting at it o.O

Even a sour, often angry anti-hero like Tyrantula coudn't resist the rubbery goodness of the BIG RED BALL!
Gimme!!
Awesome suggestion!

And the Gamster gives badges to people who play with the Big Red Ball as well.
1000 hits to the ball = ??*
2000 hits = ??*
5000 hits = ??*

I'm weary of a badge for the ball. That will lead to ball hogs and anyone who was in the 3rd grade will tell you that the kid who never lets go of the ball is no fun. It should be available for purchase in bases at a minimal cost.
