I feel...Thanks for the vote of confidence, Hayley. I feel much like you in the world-building arena. I designed a sport for one of my worlds, but I'm less confident about that than I am about the smaller-scale stuff. I do have gang activities included, though, so I think that goes a little way toward providing the chaotic energy outlet. Still thinking about other kinds of opportunities.Juliette Wadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02879627074920760712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6320269312957801390.post-71800675732475998212009-10-20T23:32:48.727-07:002009-10-20T23:32:48.727-07:00This is a great point.

He feels it's the closest equivalent we have in a modern setting. I don't care in the slightest when it's on, except I'd rather see his team win so he's happy, but he always says if I went to a game with him, I wouldn't be just reading a book, and I know he's right.<br /><br />I'll have to give this some thought, as sports aren't where my own interests lie so they often get less attention in my world-building, but some crowd-scale expression of visceral emotion - as you put it - is definitely in order.Hayley E.
