Re: Have You Trained Your Human Player Today?

While I agree that throwing isn't a good idea, our team has found it quite easy to actually catch the balls with the trident when thrown. After you get the hang of it it's not that bad, especially if you train your human player. Of course people are appalled and faint on the spot at the thought of this.

I like the floor-stab idea though, and I think the safest bet will probably be to roll the ball to the human player, who stops it with his foot by stepping on it, and then stabs it with the trident. The bucket-brigade idea sounds great too for desperate times.
