Friday 30 [31] July 1840

3 25/..

10 55/..

A- awoke me out of a sound sleep – have not slept more comfortably for long – fine morning R17 ½° at 4 40/.. a.m. and I quite ready to be off at 4 ½ - but George not ready – A- said the things waited for him ½ hour – what an idle fellow he always is! off at 5 25/.. to the picturesque old castle to breakfast – crossed the river not deep – 2 nice broadish streams clear as crystal – very steep ascend tho’ winding round rather zigzag quite at the back of the castle – very beautiful views along the fine corny valley – the corn fields dotted over (shaded – protected from scorching) by pollard ashtrees – singular effect – pretty enough – at the castle (could not enter and breakfast within as we had expected) under the shade of the most enormous lime tree I ever saw, at 6 ¼ - omitted measuring it – sure it would girth 10 yards 2ft. from the ground - Dadian never sleeps there but when he does, sleeps in a small wood house close to the thrashing floor, and now full of bearded wheat in progress of thrashing – 6 or 7 pair of oxen dragging as many heavy, stone-studded-bottom heavy thrashing sledges over it soon after we arrived – at the moment they were watering the floor out of a great oute – breakfast over (I had cold boiled rice and cheese and A- eggs and milk and broad) at 7 ¼ - she and I and the Cossack (left George with the baggage) off to the castle – A- sketched the interior – 2 square towers the entrance door in the upper one, and the curtain better built up against inside with a 2 story above ground building about 9 ½ x 7 yards inside the upper of these 2 rooms has a fireplace in the middle – must have been the kitchen outside the curtain is about 3 yards covered gallery communicating with the 2 towers and with a wooden overhanging necessary below the entrance door 6 stories high – the entrance door tower not be seen – full of the Dadians things clothes! etc. etc. the tower next below entrance door tower communicates inside by a wooden gallery (over stone building) with another square tower at the lowest angle of the castle and on the side opposite the entrance door tower is another little square tower 3x2 yards

Laïlache

apparently communicating by a little door dehors – here did job big and little while A- sketched outside the well (from where A- took her sketch) not far from the little square tower 3 stories above ground floor – about the centre of the rocky court there is the least church I ever saw – about 3 ½ yards x 2 yards including about 1/3 (not quite?) the length behind the iconostase – a little perfectly plain rough vaulted building very interesting old place – inhabited by a few peasants – the galleries in very bad repair, and the whole concern ill kept up and untidy but not dismantled – all the towers covered with a wooden chamber over them

chamber in each light holes – the door shews too high and the tower too short –

the roof hipped and overhanging and carried up to a point – very picturesque and one wood part – left the castle at 8 ¾ - no windows in the towers merely a few A- sketched the exterior while I ordered horses for ourselves and Cossack and new guide to go back to Lailache, not saying what for – the new guide asks ./50 silver a day unmounted – said I would give it for today and let him know what I should do – had talked to A- of seeing if Adam was gone, and if not getting him back again – en route, bethought me to set our guide to inquire if a horse could be hire[d] for 10/. silver per month remembering that our Jew pays 5/. for a fortnight for the horse he hired at Oni – yes! but must go to the bazaar (at Lailache) – off at 9 20/.. – very hot tho’ latterly a fine air – passed thro’ the little bazaar – all shut – not near so good as at Oni – not near so good even as at Satchekhéri [Sachkhere] – merely a few little straggling shut up wood shops – back at our station of yesterday (Dadians’ place) at 11 ½ - ½ asleep all the way – slept here an hour on arriving – on inquiries made about horses, find there are to be hired – but 2 came to be looked at for sale aet. 5= 30/. 14 hands? and aet. 4 (less by ½ hand) 25/. – too dear – the Cossack agreed that 15/. for the latter were enough – but called in the Cossack explained that we be off at 4 a.m. tomorrow for Koutaïs (1 ½ day off – 5 villages en route – Adam was off at 8 this morning) – better buy horses there – yes! It appears that Adams’ leaving us was Georges’ doing as I suspected – asked if with ½ the baggage and only the Cossack and Adam we could get on? yes! said I would have the matter explained – George to go home with the baggage, and the Cossack to seek Adam and all go to Madame Boujouroff – not to say a word about all this – poor fellow! he seems very well satisfied at this decision – I had quite reconciled A- to it – 3 of our 7 horses knocked up – our Jew cannot stir the whole of every Friday and talked of selling the horses and leaving us at the months’ end – and with George how could we get on? what an ill twined stupid idle fellow! nothing goes right with us thro’ him? – I hope we shall be able to try to do without him – had just written so far now at 4 55/.. p.m. very hot – and R26 ½° and F very near 92° on my table at my elbow – on inquiring price of the horses this afternoon found there is no barley (Etchmen) here but Kukuruza Indian corn at § 1 ½ ab. per choda = 3 batmans = (1 pood said Adam, the other day) and 1 choda enough to feed 5 horses twice – asleep till 6 ½ - then out sauntering about till 8 – peeped into sheds and cottages – one old woman let me sit down by her fir and gômi pan a few minutes then turned me out and shut her door – I was now in the bazaar and a [?] of man were assembled among them Adam – who came up to me – said I thought he had been gone – no! not till Sunday – said I was come to buy horses – wanted 6 – Kakarousa § 4ab. per choda would feed 10 horses twice – and hay for them 1ab. – would Adam calculate the cost of 6 horses per day fed twice a day on corn and hay – he said 1/. silver per day – would be engage to do it for that – yes! all thus agreed and arranged in the mean time the Cossack had come to us, and George and the baggage had arrived at quarters – then took Adam and went chez un Armenien (who cannot speak Armenian – only speaks Georgian) and got a good quart of milk near 5 pints fresh from the cow and A- had already had some sent to her before – to go at 5 a.m. to see cheese made – all agreeable – Adam to buy 6 horses averaging 15/. silver each – all to be ready to be off at 4 p.m. tomorrow to sleep at Mouri 3 hours off – home at 8 – A- pleased as at the new arrangement – A- made tea but I could not take any – had ½ glasses of milk and my cold boiled rice (a little) and a little bread then the mouraves’ young man brought 21 little pears [?] hazle nuts and he and another higher rank man seeing me Crack one with my teeth cracked for me with their teeth as many as I could possibly eat and went away at nine – very fine day – R22 ½° and F83° at 10 p.m. – Long flea-catching – and 3 or 4 lice but

A- catches sseveral so I am satisfied - paid off our new guide that had been 10 years in Russian – Zugdidi 3 days from here 2 from Koutaïs

WIP wednesday thoughts:

willow cabin is utterly fucked because i changed my intended ~moral~ halfway through and now im stuck trying to integrate this shitty political intrigue plot into what should’ve been a more interesting story about éowyn adapting to life in gondor. hugely fucking annoyed by it and just totally unsure how to proceed. i could significantly increase the chapter count, but im worried that because the initial framing device was this bandits shit that closing out that plot and then still going for ages afterwards would be really shitty? i honestly don’t know, it’s so difficult. really i just need someone to read my outline and tell me if im being a dumb twat about it lol

meanwhile I know exactly where I want to go with AFTA but for some unaccountable reason im stressed that my ass is gonna get roasted for the direction i want to take it in. it’s all based in both tolkien’s personal politics and (some) historical precedent, but im worried people are gonna see it as a marysue-ification? but also im hoping to do sthg of a sequel to afta to practice the political intrigue writing so i don’t make the same mistakes i did in wc, and to do that it would require this specific set up in AFTA. im gonna put my AFTA thing under the cut so don’t click read more unless you’re gucci with potential AFTA spoilers!!

this royal affair au is definitely gonna get published at some point but im trying to decide if i want to do ~tasteful~ smut that drives a longer narrative or if im really just gonna do a whole 3,000 word build up to some run of the mill, old fashioned PWP lmao

okay so i have spent a Lot of time thinking about what impact i think éowyn and faramir would have on each other in a pre-ring war setting, and the honest to god conclusion ive come to is that they would somewhat inadvertently egg on each other’s (wildly divergent) idealism.

faramir’s an idealist politically in ways that, as Big D rightly points out, are not super productive in a wartime scenario. but so far as im concerned, the war doesn’t feel as warlike until they have to blow the bridge at osgiliath. until that point, there’s not really anything to say that faramir’s whole throwback optimism isn’t a perfectly justifiable position to have.

but what that idealism is and how it manifests are two really important considerations. the crux of his idealistic politics is that he looks at númenor and sees something valuable in it, and looks at gondor and sees a lot that he thinks is fucked up. outside of articulating a general angst towards the glory hunting, it’s not like he’s spending time talking about his specific policy prescriptions. however, we do know a few things that can guide us to a more coherent reconstruction of his politics:

he’s pretty rigidly hierarchical (when it’s convenient for him). as seen in: him basically telling sam to fuck off and stay in his lane in WOTW, and in how and when he chooses to refer to his father as ‘father’ vs ‘my lord’ or ‘lord of the city’ in the aftermath of the osgiliath retreat and then before he gets his ass sent back there. i don’t want to go into too much detail here but if i go with this i’ll definitely justify it more thoroughly in the footnotes.

so we’ve got faramir’s emphasis on hierarchy and his occasional (when convenient) belief that the upper echelons of a hierarchy are there because they’re intellectually and/or morally better. or, maybe to remove the causation from that instance, because they are in those upper echelons, they have an obligation to be more morally/intellectually upstanding, and the people in the structure below them have an obligation to show deference. unless you’re faramir and you’re dealing with denethor in which case that all goes out the window. classic.

we know there is some sort of nascent pseudo-democratic tradition of popular sovereignty in gondor. we know this because faramir asks the masses at aragorn’s coronation if they’ll accept him as king. faramir is a lot of things, but he is certainly not a progressive political radical, and i cannot imagine any situation in which he cooked up that rigmarole himself. that then implies to me that it’s building on some sort of political/cultural expectation in gondor. so: some sort of relationship to popular legitimacy. the people of gondor are subjects, but perhaps not as totally passive and unconsidered in the power structure as we might assume given the comparability to feudal europe/asia.

given those two things, i want to use AFTA to argue:

that faramir, in looking to assign blame for the faults he sees in gondor, would not directly assign blame to the lower classes, but rather to the aristocracy, because he will have seen them as failing in their moral obligations to the people they rule over. this is not to say that he isn’t fucked off about The People™ valorising war, but i think he’d take the position that they couldn’t possibly be expected to form those values and opinions of their own volition, and the fault lies in their rules. faramir: not gramscian.

faramir lacks any power that is non-military, and even that is of questionable worth because the rangers seem to be fairly distinct to the general structure of the army, and are not exactly a huge force.

faramir lacking any political power isn’t necessarily a huge concern for him (as in, he’s not actively trying to change that), because he knows he’s not going to lead a moral revolution and isn’t interested in taking up the responsibilities having political capital would engender because he’s stuck dealing with this war, that he fucking hates btw has he mentioned that he hates it?

however, given that he is apparently eminently versed in lore and scholarship, he is probably keenly aware that there is this incipient notion of popular legitimacy somewhere in gondor’s culture. it’s not, for most of his life, knowledge that actually does anything for him, but it is there.

éowyn, meanwhile, doesn’t really have many strong political convictions (yet). not because she’s a dumbass or whatever, but because she looks at court politics as kind of a farce, and doesn’t believe that power legitimately emanates from anywhere that isn’t a Big Fucking Army. and why, strictly speaking, would she not think that? the event that brought about the creation of her kingdom was not careful, soft spoken negotiation, it was her ancestors being in the right place at the right time with a Big Fucking Army.

and the internal politics of the Riddermark actually seem to be fairly stable, all things considered. i sincerely doubt that Théoden or Théodred are having to negotiate complex politicking in the way Denethor and Boromir are. so where, then, would éowyn see that kind of political behaviour outside gondor? with gríma.

éowyn, then, will see the immediate contrast between gríma (backroom dealer, manipulator extraordinaire) and théoden (owner of Big Fucking Army). and gríma goes and fucking wins that fight. that forces éowyn to confront the fact that, jesus christ, maybe there are different types of power.

at the same time, she’s going to be in minas tirith and needing to cover for théoden letting his shit get wrecked. not just because she’s prideful, which of course she is, but because if denethor/gondor think that théoden is too weak to hold up his end of the bargain, why would they ever go help the Mark? éowyn, seeing that théoden’s f-f-fucked, knows that there’s a very very good chance the Mark will need help.

against her feelings about courtly politics, she starts to accept that she’s going to need to do something to get power in gondor. not anything substantial, it’s not like she’s trying to overthrow anybody, but enough that when push comes to shove she can force denethor to help out the Mark (if he doesn’t do so willingly).

but, as ive sort of already shown in AFTA, she’s a bit of a dogshit diplomat. good for a little big-brawny-enforcer stuff, but not exactly brimming with cultural sensitivity. by the time she realises théoden + the Mark are fucked, she’ll have burnt quite a few bridges with the gondorrim nobles, and it’s not like she’s the sort of person to go running cap-in-hand begging for mercy.

so: she has to look elsewhere. and wow! a chance for faramir to do his favourite thing — talk about his opinions! and by god, his weird idealistic politics are… actually kind of helpful? because he’s like, look, you’re never gonna be a diplomat, but there are other ways of consolidating power. and one of those ways is by appealing to The People™. so why not work that angle?

and actually, we know that this is a viable route for éowyn because hama, in arguing for her to take up the mantle of théoden’s heir when théoden and éomer fuck off to helm’s deep, basically says that The People™ love her and would have willingly chosen her to lead them.

we also know, based on faramir’s middle men speech, that the people of gondor and the mark have grown alike in nature. not totally unreasonable to then think that the people of gondor would take to her like the people of the mark did.

éowyn, then, in various ways begins to try to win over the people of minas tirith. i need to do a little more research on this bc what ive got on the practicalities of that so far are a bit, uhhh, sketchy, but the least jargony way to describe this is to point to when natalie dormer’s character in GOT gets out of the carriage to go hug and kiss some babies. (marc bloch, eat your heart out)

this would later segue into a potential sequel where, while trying to secure the way for aragorn’s coronation, éowyn actually plays an interesting role because she’s fallen into this incidental Diana, People’s Princess™ role and so is better positioned than almost anyone to go advocate on his behalf. wow! cool! éowyn getting to be politically useful in more ways than just getting hitched!

so yeah. that’s how i am thinking it might play out. this would obviously have a rolling impact on the remainder of AFTA and how certain (🔥) events pan out later, but i think that building up part has to begin pretty much now, narratively. also this lets me get in a reference to “and then her heart changed, or else at last she understood it” and have it not be almost entirely about wanting to shag faramir, but actually about her gradual evolution from valorising war above all else to being like, hmm, maybe there are other ways of being powerful. which i think still largely captures the “no longer I will vie with the great riders” stuff, but more subtly and without feeling quite so… deferential, I guess? Like it’s not that she’s swapping one form of power (violence) for nothing (gardening?? healing?? tolkien accidental articulation of necropolitics??) but swapping violence for a different type of more sustainable power.

yeah. that’s the take, basically. who fucking knows.

Day 17/? Bards

This is day 17 of my daily worldbuilding exercise- every day I’m trying to write a short piece on some aspect of D&D worldbuilding, and there’s a possibility of getting accompanying art at some point. One heads up though, work is gonna be picking up like crazy for the next few weeks, so I may not have the energy to do these as much. Hell, I had to teach class (I also teach dev psych seminars) today so I’m even more tired.

In any case, today I wanna talk about Bards, probably my least favorite class ever. They make no sense, and the only time a bard has been helpful was when a player used him as a diplomancer, but most of that could have been done with any high charisma character. But Imma do em anyway.

Minstrels and entertainers are commonplace on well traveled roads and large cities, but in the same way that not every clergyman is a cleric, not every entertainer is a bard. To become a bard, one must attend a bardic college, which are commonplace throughout the land, and learn the bardic ways. The chief of these is the secretive bardic magic, which is, in reality, not magic at all.

All bard spells are a highly, as in very, very highly convoluted mix of mirrors, stage magic, suggestion, pyrotechnics, and any other manner of showmanship, that is so convincing that it has an actual effect- offensive spells are effective through sheer shock triggering heart attacks (and perhaps some poison gas in there), and the effects of bardic music are the effects of the target being sufficiently psyched out. However, these practices are guarded incredibly well, and bards are given psychological training to ensure they never reveal this secret. However, certain psychomancers have been able to glean this secret, and once the gig is up, it becomes apparent the extent to which bards have secret caches and illusion items everywhere. Cities are full of bardsigns (not unlike rogue marks, warlock runes, or the weird graffiti equations wizards use to mark their turf) to indicate the location of a bag of sleep powder, a flashbang, or a dart full of poison that can be easily accessed, the only rule being that it be unleashed in a way that appears both magical, but also showy. Bards are constantly watching each other, and a bard that fails to live up to their standards of entertainment will find themselves unable to find any assets, and in essence lose their powers.

The reasoning behind the life of a bard is varied, but it all flows from a number of jester cults hundreds of years ago, where court jesters often played the role of assassin. Using their ability to control perception and create distraction, a number of jester cults rose, and grew in power and status, until nearly every jester was a member, and wars could be averted or started, power could be consolidated or disrupted, and peace could be maintained. These cults saw the larger picture, and focused on keeping order through the careful pruning of royal trees to root out bad eggs. However, eventually word got out that the Jesters were actually assassins, and they were purged, however a number of them survived and created the Bardic colleges, where entertainers with a drive to change the world could find their focus.

For a while, there was a political angle, with bards pulling off any number of political actions, their celebrity status giving them access to many closed doors, however as time went on, the focus was lost, and the nature of the bardic colleges as badass places to become a master entertainer rose.

At this point, very little remains of the assassin orders, although there are small cells within the bardic colleges that wish to revive the old ways, but only time will tell if they will be successful in their endeavors.

post #430 / 431

condensed post

main points:

- got out of bed around 10am. lazed until 10:30am, then cleaned up the bed sheets, packed my towel and PJ's and checked out. it was a great stay :D

- walked over to taipei main station to deposit my luggage in a coin locker. it said it was for 3 hours (i thought afterwards it would just automatically unlock) so i was like hmm... what can i do for 3 hours. i went southwest ish to the camera store area looking for a tripod mount and lens mount for my phone. i figured even though my camera's broken, i can still get a decent aesthetic with my phone. so i browsed around a bit and spent $3 on a tripod mount and $19 on a lens mount. the lens mount is so cool. it has a built in flash, macro and wide angle lens all in one :o

- wandered around towards ximending but was getting worried that my 3 hours would expire soon, so i just got some braised beef over rice in a shop somewhere, then walked back to taipei main station. when i went to retrieve/re-store my luggage, i saw there were additional fees that i didn't have to pay cause i got back in time for the 3 hours. so i was like... wait... does it not automatically boot me off after 3 hours? i asked one of the guys working there and he said yeah after the initial 3 hours, it'll stay locked. when you come back, you pay the remaining amount of fees if you stayed longer. it's 50NTD / 3 hours (that's like $1.50 USD). i was like OHHHHHHHH. looool i did it wrong. so i could confidently leave my stuff in my locker for the rest of the day. locked my stuff up again for the second time, then took the train to longshan temple

- wandered around for a bit in the area. my back was hurting like craaaazy so i stopped and sat down for a bit. then i was like, dope dope. and took the train one stop to ximending area and chilled at a starbucks for like an hour and a half. recharged my phone and watched some youtube on the wifi

- went to ximending night market and got some popcorn chicken. then just wandered around the area, getting some boba at 50 lan and that was my dinner LOL. i was kind of hungry but also kind of not. in a travel blog post i saw someone said it was like the harajuku of taiwan. it definitely was, i really liked the area. a lot of bright lights, booming area with people and music. reminded me almost of shinjuku or shibuya. also one street i looked down i could've sworn was straight out of japan lmao. i really liked the area, very cool. but the food was mostly the same as the shilin night market. cheese oysters, stinky tofu, cubed beef, and other stuff. i wandered around the same areas multiple times trying to find something salty/soupy but wasn't sure what to eat. so i just subwayed back to taipei main station - took the airport MRT to the airport, getting there around 8pm. got some BK in the food court cause idk nothing else seemed appetizing - checked into my flight at 10pm, just played some wario/wolf against a CPU on my switch. boarded at 12:20am, and flew until about 5am. i slept on and off on the flight. fortunately somehow a bunch of seats magically opened up so people were able to lie down on their 3 row seats?? i was in the middle of two people but the guy to my right left to somewhere else, so i took his spot so me and the other guy had more space to sleep - got to Kuala Lumpur airport around 6am, and took a nap until 8am. i found a cushy chair so i slept on it. i thought i'd wake up a lot cause it was somewhat uncomfortable but i actually just passed out for like two hours. dope dope dope. got some starbucks (curry/egg pastry thing + white chocolate mocha)

- now i'm chilling at the airport waiting for my layover to phuket at 12:25pm. it's 11:10am so i'm typing up march 13, 14 and 15. and probably 16's later tonight. gonna meet up with dimitri at the phuket airport ayyyy

edit/update:

- landed in phuket and chilled for a bit watching ghost in the shell. it was meh, i had like maybe 30 minutes left and dimitri arrived!! yay!! except his suitcase didn’t make the layover so we had to figure out what to do afterwards

- called a grab taxi to our hotel and checked in. went to a restaurant called doo dee 2 and then got back to the hotel and just potato-ed. i set up smash on the TV and we tried to play for a bit with the switch controllers but it didn’t work very well. dimitri brought the GC and adapter but it was in his missing luggage

spent time planning the next few days. were gonna scooter but then after messaging a scooter owner (dennie), he recommended it was not safe for us to learn here. so we were like dang... maybe it might not be safe/a good idea. so we booked a private driver tour

we waited until around 10pm, the airport actually delivered it straight to our hotel which was nice. i didn’t know if there was a missing transfer for luggage the airport does delivery to you for free

played a game of smash, took separate showers and went to sleep pretty early (like around 11pm)

i was tired from the past 12 hour flight and dimitri was tired from jet lag

the end

Also Known As: Sports (Wii)

Genre: Sports, Multi-Sports Developer: Nintendo Publisher: Nintendo ESRB Rating: Everyone Release Date: December 1, 2006

Hints

No Points Taken Off

In tennis, boxing, or baseball, if you lose, before it says you lose, hit the + button. You won’t lose points!

Become A Pro At Boxing

If you move the wii remote like you are playing the drums you will punch the person and they won’t get many punches off. And you can become a pro easily.

Blue Tennis Court

Once you select Tennis from the Wii Sports main menu, select your Mii and once you get to the warning screen, hold down 2 and hit A to use the blue tennis court.

Big Hook In Bowling

To do this, hold the Wii Remote sideways with the buttons towards you. Then, hold B, swing down, up, then down and let go. Align your Mii all the way to the right with the aim over the second arrow. (Note: This may require some practice. ).

How To Get In The Bowling Lane Next To You

If you throw your ball at the white part of the divider next to the gutter, you will go to the lane next to you.

Bowl Straight In Bowling

To bowl straight hold B and let go of it when it’s over your head. It might take a couple of tries to get it right.

Gunshot Sound While Bowling

While bowling, throw the ball at either of the two yellow bars on the side of your ally.NOTE: You must throw the ball at the yellow side bar, not roll it.

Throw Submarine

In baseball, you can throw submarine by pressing 2.

Playing With Both Players

When your playing one player in any mode in tennis, press B to make your front teammate hit/swing at the ball

Become A Pro In Boxing Easily

All you have to do is dodge all of the hits and when it goes slow mo you hit at the face or at the sides or an uppercut (etc. )it may take a couple of tries but it will get you up to pro.

Easy Bowling

There are two ways for easy bowling and going “pro” fast; #1. Aim straight down the lane, press and hold B, and start to swing your arms normally. But instead of throwing the ball, let the ball go all the way up to the sky, then swing your arm back down and it won’t come back down, then swing your arm forward really fast and release B and your ball will go perfectly straight and get a strike almost all the time. #2. Move your Mii all the way to the edge of the lane, but be careful not to put it in the gutter. Then start to swing normally, but instead of going slowly and following it through until you release the ball, making it go straight, swing really fast and stop right at where your thigh is. (making sure to spin the ball to the RIGHT. ) This one’s a little harder, but it will get you a strike almost every time.

Blue Tennis Court

After selecting your mii hold 2 and press a at the warning screen.

Silver Boxing Gloves

After you’ve beaten the grand champion, Matt, in aboxing match you’ll be able to wear silver boxinggloves to do so, hold (1) when the screen becomesblack before a boxing match.

Change Pitches In Baseball

Hold B while throwing to throw a curveball. Hold A and B while throwing to throw a splitter. Hold A while pitching to throw a screwball. Whip the wii-mote to throw a fastball.

Strike In Wii Sports Training Power Throw

To get a full strike on the last of the Power Throw (bowling) training, press A and change the angle. Make the turn as small as you can. Then go to the right as far as you can and throw the ball(make sure you throw it high). It should make an exploding sound and all the pins should fall.

All “91 Pins” Down in “Power Throws” In Training

Note: this cheat only works on the “91 Pin” stage in “Power Throws.” Move sideways all the way to the right then until it doesn’t let you move anymore to the right, move one notch over to the left. Then press “A” and move two or three notches to the left. Then press “A” again and go all the way to the right. Then without any curve or spin throw the ball. If you do this right, the ball will balance all the way down the side and casue a big “earthquake” casuing all the pins to fall down. This is hard to do so it may not work always, try to find your own way close to that and you should be able to do it good.

Land Level

When you are about to swing on Wii Sports Golf, press 1 to see the ground in a level layout. Press 1 to return to normal view.

Floaty Wall

In the tennis practice that contains the wall, keep hitting the wall in one spot, until there’s a hole. After that, keep moving to the side. And if done correctly, there will be a floaty wall.

Double Doom Boxing

So i’m playing Wii Sports Boxing and both me and my opponent (Kathrin) have just 1 piece of pie left and we both hit each other at the same time and there is only one clock so if one dies the other does too.

Spectating In Tennis

You can spectate in tennis by putting all computer characters and you won’t have to do anything but watch a good game of tennis.

Nice Curveball In Baseball

To do this, throw submarine (press 2) or overhand and, depending on which side the batter is standing, throw a curveball while holding down either left or right on the D-Pad. (Note: For better curve, throw slower, but it may hang over the plate. ).

Make People

On the main menu, select: Bowling. Then choose your Mii and all that stuff. You know your supposed to raise the Remote, hold down B and do the bowling motion where when you bring your arm back and then bring it forward and release B when it’s at your legs. Well instead.the first time you bring your arm back, you let go of B as it is passing to go behind your leg. You should see the ball go about 3 feet, then everybody behind you will jump up in a weird twirly motion as if they hate you for almost hitting them. This may take a couple times to master.
