| Message | I supported Rugby last time, and would do so again. Have to reiterate everything UB said, is there a difference between Baseball and Rounders? |

| Message | I don't understand baseball either, I'm british too, but I wanted a sport that wasn't football or rugby or polo or other mainstream sports. |

| Message | Chess?? though that ain't a physical sport. Maybe something like "tiger hunting". Or parachute jump. ps What are rounders ?? I know what baseball is, but I've never heard of rounders before... |

| Message | You didn'twant a mainstream sport, so you picked Baseball? What about...Karting? Thats great fun, and not very "mainstream". It also would link into other forms of motorsport, so wouldn't just be good as a sport, but also later when the economic areas of the game are added can also be used to show off our engineering prowess! |

| Message | @Socialists - The wikipedia is your friend - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rounders. Basically rounders is the forerunner of baseball but has a reputation in Britain as being a kids'/girls' game. @All - The idea of chess is a good one - we can show off o superior intelligence to other nstions :-). I would also accept karting as an alternative. |
