JudasIscariot: Litar is the Poznan hooligan who has, or maybe had, a catering contract with Lech Poznan and he too is one of those hooligans that makes a name for himself with some serious bullshit.

Arteveld: Oh! The spit one, yeah, now i remember. Another fine example, why people don't go to see matches. Carlin, i believe, had a joke about morons like him, place those hools on a stadium, let them fight, wait til the there's only one man standing, place him on a podium and shoot him in the head. ;)
Or just bring the ZOMO back and have them sit in X formations throughout the stands :P

I say this because I saw old pics with the ZOMO sitting in the stands and everyone looked quite complacent without any rabble going crazy. Must've been those white billy clubs :D

Cameron: When Edmonton was in the finals, there was rioting in that City. When Calgary was in the finals, there were people tipping over buses. Vancouver is no different than any major city, each one has a few bad apples who take things too far.

Also, in regards to them being sore losers, this has absolutely nothing to do hockey. I guarantee that, win or lose, this would have happened.
I was under the impression that calling what happened in Edmonton "rioting" might be a bit strong. It only takes a few people to cause an incident, so there is always SOMETHING that goes wrong. They aren't all on the same level though. As a casual observer, it seems like only Montreal has been able to give Vancouver a run for their money in the hockey-riot department. I could be wrong though. It's not like I've done a detailed study on the subject.

StingingVelvet: Remind me to bring this up the next time some Canadian with a superiority complex acts like Americans are all violent idiots.
Why don't you just throw Weird Al at them instead?

No one deserves Weird Al.

A lot of Americans believe that sort of thing too, which only goes to show that (sadly) few Americans are hockey fans.

They gave us Michael Meyers and Justin Bieber. Show no mercy.

Would work, but would complicate things for the other people too. [i mean, i love my illegal beer and fire on a beach way too much]. Since totalitarism is bad, and eugenics is evil [or maybe it's the other way around], what else can we do? Maybe, build a work camp, lock the offending ones up and make them do something useful, like, cleaning PET bottles, for a change? I'm all about that. But that's probably nazi too. ;P

Build a stadium in Warsaw or Gdynia where they have to fight to the death. Sell tickets and have the proceeds go towards fixing our national budget and keep it out of reach of any politicians :P.

No shotgun blast to the head for the winner? So politically correct.. ;P
We could make a nice arena, transmit it on TV, it'll be like wrestling, hell, they already have feuds and all. And it's also quite distopian future'y, like The Running Man or Brutal Sports. Imagine the money from licensing! Tshirts, posters, movies, games, childrens coloring books with free red crayons.
Whoa, bbl, gotta make a business plan.

How does "Liandri" sound for a company name ;P ?

But i'll need a few mines then, and i only got those in MineCraft. ;P
I'd need a powerful friend in the gov to make it legal, no great dystopian fighting championship can run without gov't corruption. Though we already have a mining corruption afair. Argh! Why am i always too late!;|

I guess it'll stay in the drawer as a concept for a retro game, MAD TV/Pizza Tycoon meets Sensible Soccer/Brutal Sports.

Every time people say something outlandish as a joke, there's at least one guy out there who actually believed in it at some point ;P. As such, in a way, I'm doing the opposite - I'm searching for possible implementations, ramifications and theories...
Then again - maybe that's EXACTLY what you mean - ruining a dream by proving that it CAN be done and showing how and to what effect ?

Most certainly not ! Elves are too noble and graceful to hide behind a false identity ;P.
I'm merely a droid. Go ahead and ask StingingVelvet if you don't believe me...

Your... sentence construction... too... weird... My fault, sorry, i'm really dumb today, i've read the last question 10 times, and i still can't get it. I've read a few articles in a new book magazine today, same thing, didn't really get much. And why? I've been outside today. Sun kills my brain. Instant -30 to iq.
But seriously, that was in 99% joke, and 1% a hint on "you've demotivated me". I get demotivated easily, especially when i'm high on tea, and tired. ;)

That was supposed to be a Star Trek joke, you know?:)
Droids... sentries.. TURRETS!
Hmm, i've got an idea to solve those stadium problems. ;)
