It's the weekend, Maniac! My guess is the other RPers are happy to be unchained from the work desk and so are not home much.

No need for worry, things will pick up again come Monday!

It's the weekend, Maniac - We tend to slow down a bit, then rev up again during the week. It should be the other way around, I know, but that's how it is.

I for one, was out of town until just this evening. Went to see the folks and family and celebrate a couple of birthdays - "baby" brother is 34 on Tuesday and Mom turned 75 two weeks ago today.

And now that I'm back, I'd like to get the nine-ball game started. I know you're a fan, and I imagine you've played it once or twice. I've never actually played nine-ball, but I have played a lot of pool and I looked up the nine-ball rules. So I think I'm ready to go.

I believe I have managed to happily oblige, Ciara!

Haven't heard from Raven yet, but I didn't want to get too far without anything being heard from them, so I posted the Wash/Zoe scene... I can always edit it later if need be.

Sorry for the no-posties--but I had a great weekend, and hope to hop back in Tuesday-ish, maybe :) do with Inara what you will!

Just remember, Channain, slop does NOT count in the game of 9-ball. And if you manage to sink the 9 on the break, you win (unlike 8-ball...).

I love 9-ball (my mom was a hustler/shark).

no worries, Boomer - I was taught no-slop. To my mind, slop never counts. That's why Rowan always announces her shots. I've since learned that you don't necessarily have to shoot the nine balls in numerical order - you can make any shot on the table so long as the lowest number on the table is the first ball that the cue ball strikes.

I have to admit to the myriad of dirty thoughts that went through my mind when I read this.

...and I was pretty sure slop did count in nine ball

Simon: I can't really tell, they don't seem to be playing by any civilized rules that I know.

I would have to say that in the case of Shephard Book, if Rowan wants to keep the preacher playing, she'll allow for some slop. On the professional level, however, I don't believe slop is allowed.

**looks from Channain to Boomer and back to Channain.**

Do you guys know how funny this conversation is for someone who has no knowledge of 8 or 9 ball?

What is slop anyway?

I'm not broken, in my dream I win...

Slop is hitting a ball into a pocket by chance and getting to continue hitting because of it. I believe, even in pro 9 ball, that if you strike the object ball first, it doesn't matter what happens to the initial object ball, as long as you pocket a ball. So, you could say, smack the one ball and it could fly around the table and knock in a different ball and you would still get to go again. Does this sound familiar to anybody else, or am I just a crazy maniac? Was that redundant?
