There is a competitive scene to twister? wow  i played that a couple of times, back in the day when i was unaware how terrible it is for people to be in close vicinity of my body...

What would you do if you are damned if you do, and also damned if you don’t?

complain about it, probably on an internet forum.

May as well not bother at that point, for laziness reasons.

Sport yes, numbers don't have to match, however you want to relate the esport to sport is fine Then I would say an RTS is like football (assuming you only gave a fuck about the quarterback) or baseball. Both sports are very pieces driven centering on a pivot point player or perspective. (The QB or the Pitcher) In both sports the pivot point player dictates the direction and pace of the game, and the other "pieces/players" are used to maximize the pivot player's strength's and weaknesses. A MOBA would be most akin to curling. A team of players with overspecialized roles have to develop a pattern based group task wherein the job of each member of the team are of equal importance at scoring the game. FPS would be most like basketball. A bit chaotic, but very individualistic. Players are given general tasks, positions, or responsibilities--but often enough you kind of have to move based on the flow of the match as you jump between defense and offense on an individual level. Every person is both the support and the carry and changes depending on how the mood of the match changes. Fighting games would be the one most akin to Tennis. Pattern based endurance runs where its about being the player who makes the least mistakes in long drawn out sessions. I think the RTS one is good in someways or at least I understand your point. I don't really get the curling analogy out side of the skip and the shot caller being somewhat similar. Otherwise all curling roles are basically the same just the order they throw the rocks are different. The way you explain your basketball is decent but its not true of organized basketball maybe street ball. Every decent level of basketball is very organized on how you play both defense and offense, set plays and set rolls. The more I think about it street ball is a decent comparison.
I enjoy watching curling so maybe I'm weird.
Curling is this weird sport where you control the stone based on how each player in the team controls the temperature variation of the zones around the stone. One person has to control how far left it goes, another controls how far right it goes, while another controls it's stopping speed. It's most like a MOBA because, in a sense, a large part of victory comes from how best you maximize controlling this "stone/minions" to hit the target/nexus.

I think he means it's like a 4 person team each controlling part of each throw (the throw, left, right, stopping) to get an end team result..
Never thought of that comparison with curling.
Always thought it funny how two countries of my origins (Canada and... Scotland [wtf?]) are so extremely strong at it o_o. "We beat you in football!?"(soccer) - well we own curling so fuck you lawl..

well since most countries on this planet have exactly 0 curling rinks that would appear to be correct
"damned if" -> you do, you can at least face the consequences on your own terms. you don't, all there is left is regret ^^

Don't they just call them back yards?

I live in Toronto and wanted to check out where I could go for public skating this winter.
I found this image and laughed at how Canadian it looks. This is only core Toronto and I believe only outdoor skating rinks.

What vampires? There's like a millionaire different interpretations and I'm pretty sure some do throw things occasionally.

I'm sure somewhere in True Blood a vampire throws something at an assailant, but didn't watch with enough attention to that detail to tell you for sure. Jessica and Pam both throw stuff around in temper tantrums for sure, whether they ever do that at an assailant, I don't know.

It's because of how nocturnal Sanguinsitis changes the eyes of the afflicted. They gain incredible night-vision capabilities, but they are absolutely incapable of stereo vision. They don't throw stuff because they can not judge the distance to the target at all.
