(slowly stalks big red ball)
<.<

(leaps at ball and bats it away!)
The stalking begins again.
[censored]!?! 
Anyone think this type of thing should be added to Pocket D as a instanced dimenson zone?
Considering that Pocket D is about fun and games and teaming up with those evil ones -- this could be DJ Zero's way of providing recreation.
Pocket D's --"Let the Good Times Roll!" Fun Ball Zone!
Go through the portals and enter the zone -- villains from the red portal -- heroes from the blue portal side.
Maybe the zone is sorta a cleared out version of pocket d (no bar just a blue and red side with a platorm in the center where your team has to get the ball to score. 
Like Siren's has the bar that lets you know which side is winning -- Ball Zone would be a PvB zone Player vs Ball
Player's powers can effect the ball (as I'm sure was already stated) but not each other.
Sounds like a great idea. Badges for the ball zone could be awarded. Just like a pvp zone cept its PvB 
Also note that I removed the "Red ball" to give options so it can be RED or BLUE.
So, It is decided.
and lo, there was a Big Red Ball, and it was Good.
Obviously anyone against the Big Red Ball is an agent of the devil and must be destroyed.
Let the Armies of the Big Red Ball come forth and plead in a puppy dog eye's kinda way. "PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE give us a Big Red Ball!!!!!!!"
I shall add my vote for the big red ball.
wow no one is willing to admit they 1 starred this thread? c'mon, if you don't like the idea lets debate the merits. otherwise this should be an all 5 star thread for sure
<3 this idea

I like the Red Ball idea , but come on!
Who wants Big Blue Balls? I dont want any Blue balls.....
King John was not a good man
He had his little ways.
And sometimes no one spoke to him
For days and days and days.
And men who came across him,
When walking in the town,
Gave him a supercilious stare,
Or passed with noses in the air
And bad King John stood dumbly there,
Blushing beneath his crown.
King John was not a good man,
And no good friends had he.
He stayed in every afternoon ...
But no one came to tea.
And, round about December,
The cards upon his shelf
Which wished him lots of Christmas cheer,
And fortune in the coming year,
Were never from his near and dear,
But only from himself.
King John was not a good man,
Yet had his hopes and fears.
Theyd given him no present now
For years and years and years.
But every year at Christmas,
While minstrels stood about,
Collecting tribute from the young
For all the songs they might have sung,
He stole away upstairs and hung
A hopeful stocking out.
King John was not a good man,
He lived his life aloof;
Alone he thought a message out
While climbing up the roof.
He wrote it down and propped it
Against the chimney stack:
TO ALL AND SUNDRY - NEAR AND FAR -
F. CHRISTMAS IN PARTICULAR.
And signed it not Johannes R.
But very humbly, JACK.
I want some crackers,
And I want some candy;
I think a box of chocolates
Would come in handy;
I dont mind oranges,
I do like nuts!
And I SHOULD like a pocket-knife
That really cuts.
And, oh! Father Christmas, if you love me at all,
Bring me a big, red india-rubber ball!
- Appx. 2/3 of "King John's Christmas", by A. A. Milne
Damn you all for making me remember that... Now I HAVE to make a character named Bad King John...

Some ideas/options:
Arena matches: Soccer type match obviously, can select which powers will move the ball. Melee only means you have to actually run up and hit it.
Some possible dev generated events... Devs pick a time and place and hand out balls to any team that wants one. Balls have a timer. Goal would be to bounce the ball off as many contact NPCs as possible before timer expires (or to hit all NPCs in the lowest time).
If balls could zone with a team, have all of the trainers be the 'goals'.
Gerbils are for wimps. Real men use badgers.
I wonder what the dev's think about this idea....
For everything listed for Issue 7 and everything mentioned as being planned for Issue 8 and beyond I've seen a ton of players respond with a simple, "Meh, whatever."
You people suddenly get excited over a big red ball?

Man is a simple creature. A red ball catters to our most primitive, and infantile, instincts. That is where its glory stems from.
Plus, a simple red ball is a lot of content for something relatively easy to code. Especially if they include the whole SG bases getting them as well as finding them on the zones.
Why not?

Well I don't remember Statesman mentioning this anytime that he has explained what fun actually is. So I'm guessing at some point we'll see it, then when we obviously forget what fun is, they'll take it away, or nerf it into a marble.

Yes. Because everything they're doing is just so-so. I don't have anything in CoV or CoH for I7 OR I8 that makes me go "Wow! I'm so glad i play this game!!" Nope. Nothing. I'd rather stay at I6 and get a Big Red Ball, kthxbye.
Not only should we follow the OP's suggestion, but we should also have balls in many other areas.
I want a MM with balls for minions!
I want a glowy floaty ball for a shoulder pet!
Ooo! How about a huge security ball that envelops people who try and escape The Island?!
And I want a huge, glowing ball in the sky the radiates light and heat. But for balance purposes, it should only be present about half the time.
Balls for the win!

now you are just living in a dream world...
If there has ever been a silly and simple idea that would just rock this is it.
I would like to see a Big Red Ball for Villains and a Big Blue Ball for Heroes, just because.
