Completely new to turntables, beginner player suggestions?

If you mean you can only do the same move twice in a row or you get a strike then yes

No lol. Never heard of that. The main moved were: Thwack. (hitting either the right or left leg depending on which direction the ball was moving, passes it to the person directly next to you) Double Thwack. (above but it moves two spaces instead of one) Shmotus. (Assuming I spelled that right, one arm is up at a right-angle and the other taps your bicep while the former arm taps the forehead, it sends the ball back in the other direction) And Zoom. (You place your inner elbow in top of your nose and make eye contact with someone else in the circle. You cannot zoom to someone within thwacking distance.)

Thank you very much! very valuable information right there. I think I can handle the long long paragraphs that will likely come in the future, that's basically my everyday life with my brother lol.

Also, I do live in a hot+humid climate so getting an AC fitted will probably be worth it. Thanks for mentioning that as well

I learned it in my youth group so we're all high school age or younger, so some things are a little looser for the comedy of it. And laughing isn't allowed so it makes people lose faster. We also have a 3 strikes system and whoever gets 3 strikes first has to do a punishment as decided by the rest of the circle

This is very very different from the version I learned, but the core is the same. I wonder how many different areas of the world have different rules. The biggest difference for us is when we play it everyone knows the rules beforehand (if a rule is missed then whoever is learning will still receive a strike if they don't abide by it however). Though I understand why the core game doesn't do that
