Bagatelle: Sport of Kings, King of Sports

it only seems fitting that the first post of '09 is on the topic of something that has become as staple of the new year celebration: Bagatelle. how was the game created? i do not know. legend has it that the fabled board has been passed down through the generations. all i know is, this year it stepped up. this is a collection of the phrases uttered by stunned players and spectators as they tried to get their feeble minds round the complexities of the game.

Joey: a bagatelle ball

Small Roses: basically 5 points, in the 5 point boundary at the top of the arena.

All the 50s: a signature move of the hermans, in which the player gets a lot of 50s.

Economy Buy-Back: when you win, or buy-back, less than 3 Joeys that you have failed to score with. this is achieved by landing a Joey in the exclusive buy-back enclosures near the bottom of the arena.

Premium Buy-Back: winning back 3 or more joeys that you have failed to score with. the method is the same as an economy buy-back, however the consequences could be utterly more game-changing.

remember, anything can happen in the bagatelle gaming arena. and invariably, it does. guard your Joeys people.

dropping a standard 50 is also known as 'one in the onion bag'.

top players are referred to as 50Machines if they get lots of Joeys in the onion bag.

when a Joey is fired with sufficient weakness to allow it to return to the firing zone, it is known as a Homesick Joey.

ah yes, the homesick joey. a tactic i'm rather fond of. although telling you why would jeopardise my game.
