Open call 4 Russian D-O-N-K-E-Y game (kick ASS)

Hey there.
My name is Stas, introducing D-O-N-K-E-Y (Козел) game. I haven’t found the perfect place to play it, so I was hoping after I give you details we’ll figure it out. Saturdays or Sundays will be good for playing it.
This is a kick ASS (literally), highly competitive, extremely addictive, high adrenalin, crazy pace, malez-only Russian sports game you’ve never heard of.
The best thing about it - it’s good for malez of all shapes, you can be really FAT and you can play it, but be carefull - you’ll shed it all.

Here is the description of the game:

1. 5+ players (up to 15 or even 25 people) are crammed in a rectangular marked area ~ 20 square meters surrounded by U - shaped 1.5 meter-high metal wire net wall (same metal fence surrounding basketball play grounds in urban areas).
2. Players are sequenced by numbers (turns) so they kick a ball in exact order one after another (you have to remember the guy who you kick the ball after).
3. Individual players have to kick the ball into the marked area where all the other doods are. When you kick the ball, you are targeting people inside trying to smash them as hard as you can.
4. If you are hit by the ball (or you simply touch it yourself) or if you missed the marked area when you were kicking the ball, you aquire one letter as in D-O-N-K-E-Y (Козел) .
5. When you get the last letter (Y) having made 6 mistakes in the game, you are out. The game stops when there’s only one doode left.
6. Optional. All those who were out stand in the line with their buts turned to the player who won. The number of people played is the number of meters (shooting distance) and the number of shots that the winning player makes with the ball targeting other doode’s asses.

Notes:

  1. You can make the game more difficlult by specifying that one has to kick the ball still rolling after the previous hit. If the ball stops, you get your letter.
  2. When somebody is hitting the ball you ARE to be inside the marked area. Also, your feet have to be on the ground (at least one foot) when the ball is hit. If somebody pushes you out at the moment when the ball is hit, you get your letter. You can be ouotside the area/your feet could be in the air (i.e. - you are hanging on the fence) before/after the ball is hit.
  3. Hitting the ball with all the force you’ve got over some obstacle in the marked area (a tree on the play ground or some doode’s head) makes the ball fly far away from the marked area, thus making it extremely difficlult to target it by the next shooter.
  4. If you hit the ball over the fence, you get your letter.
  5. You can’t be angry at the people who shoot you in the head. It’s your fault.
  6. You have to remember when’s your turn to hit. If you hit the ball in the wrong order, you get that letter.
  7. You can cheat pretending you have one or two letters less, but is somebody finds that out, they will be targeting just you.
  8. Congregating in microteams during the game helps shoot away oponents.
  9. Playing for money makes this game faster & rougher three times.
  10. After you hit the ball, runn inside the area fast or you’ll get the letter if the next shooter hits before you reach it (some people do it intentionnaly).

That’s about it.

You can play D-O-N-K-E-Y (Козел) pretty much anywhere there’s a L-shape or U-shap wall/fence (preferably with trees inside so there’s a small cover) and 60 square meters flat ground in front of it, though the perfect spot would be:
[____] -shaped square area surrounded by 1.5 meter-high metal wire net wall preferably elevated & sloping above the play ground. The U-shaped net wall should be like 10 meters long with 5 meter sides 90 degrees to it.

Please post here if you’d like to try it AND DO post here if you have a perfect play spot in mind as described here.

Last word - this game is a bit rough so if you feel you will get angry if other people hit you with a ball a bit more harder than you expected, it’s better to play badminton :slight_smile:
cheers
