I'm bored and I want to create a Compendium drinking game

Some of us have to work, you know. We'd never be sober. Which would lead to MORE sweeping generalizations, violence and the like until we were all passed out.

At least we wouldn't have to worry about the magical objects anymore. That stupid ball of yarn has really gotten me into some trouble. You eventually rid yourself of the horse, yes?

[travelstheworld]

That's sort of the point, Morgan. If I'm too inebriated to sit at my desk, I can stay home and avoid my mother, since sleeping off a hangover is about the only thing she understands. But you don't have to play right now, or you could grab a soda. Whatever works for you!

Though maybe with this crowd, it's a bad idea to suggest a mass playing of the game.

And yes, I gave him back to Velvet before I ended up accidentally in the middle of a very large crowd without the ability to be as amazingly understanding as you. What did your yarn ball menace do?

[rubythrone]

If we played en masse, I think the fears of alcohol poisoning would be realized. On a large scale. The paramedics would find us passed out, face down in our Compendiums.

[travelstheworld]

Oh geez. Then the world would know about all of the Tale stuff. Or think we're all a bunch of lunatics who keep a copy of the exact same handwritten book. Like a cult.

This is steadily becoming a worse idea.

If I'd known it could be a reason for drinking, I would've opened this thing a bit more often.

[travelstheworld]

It's all about being enterprising. I actually can't believe no one's said to me "oh hey, we already have a drinking game, you newbie".

If you followed that one, you'd never finish reading a single entry!

But you'd get pretty roaring drunk, I bet.

[travelstheworld]

You know, that might actually be his goal - maximum drinking, minimum exposure to the Compendium?

[givinggifts]

Possibly. "Drink away your sorrows?" I don't know, the Compendium doesn't bother me much. It's better than most TV. (Kilroy and May: your show is excepted, of course.)

[superiffic]

!!!

This doesn't seem very safe!

[travelstheworld]

Well, you can always pick something besides alcohol!

Would you like me to make a part in your honor?

[rubythrone]

...yeah, that drinking game pretty much sums up my last week.

How about this one:

- Every time someone says that they really need a drink, take a sip?

[travelstheworld]

Ooo, good one! Five points to you!

This game aside, it's a wonder we're not all alcoholics, when you get right down to it.

[rubythrone]

It really is. I'm not really a big drinker, but after the past few days? I could use a beer or something.

HA. I just did my own suggestion. If only I had a drink. How about this one:

- Any time someone brings up a remembered wrong from their story or a past life, take a drink?

You'd wind up completely drunk, but at least the argument would be a little more tolerable.

[travelstheworld]

To totally ruin my image, thus far my drinks have had only trace amounts of alcohol. I was expecting new rules that would require me staying sober enough to read long enough to play them all.

And oh God yes, great for those who are reading it and the person remembering it. The memories are so crazy sometimes.
