The Unofficial COH Forum Drinking Game

Note: As a responsible adult, player, and forum poster, I would like to remind people that this thread does NOT condone the abuse of alcohol. Drink something else.

Every time someone does one of the following, take a drink:

1. Uses the term "slap in the face" with regard to the game itself or the devs
2. Quotes their veteran status as supporting evidence of being right ("I've been playing since...")
   **Take a second drink if they use the number of veteran badges as proof of this, since the vet badge system is no longer really applicable
3. Uses the term 'tankmage'
4. Quotes a lengthy post in its entirety only to then say "signed", "QFT", "me too", LOL, etc., or responds with anything less than a complete sentence.
   **Take one drink per picture if all they're quoting is images
5. Asserts that "the majority of players" or "the entire playerbase" agrees with their position
6. Ends any single line post with an emoticon.
7. Demands a response from the devs
   **Take a second drink if they demand compensation
   **Take a third drink if the total value of said compensation could actually be calculated as less than fifty cents
8. Criticizes anything in the game while stating that they have in fact never done it
   **Take a second drink if they do that in the same post as the initial criticism
9. Attempts to pigeonhole any Marvel, DC, or mainstream comic character as a COH archetype
   **Take a second drink if the attempt to pigeonhole is actually a complaint that we can't make said character
10. Asks "is this character a copyright violation?" or "Is this offensive?"
11. Insists that they are allowed freedom of speech on a privately owned forum
12. Doesn't actually ragequit before posting about it
    **Take an additional drink each time they continue to post in said ragequit thread
    **Take an additional drink for each "can I have your stuff" post in said ragequit thread
    **Everyone in the thread drinks if a redname posts "can I have your stuff" in said ragequit thread
13. Grouses about PvP
14. Complains about a powerset or combo that is 'unplayable', 'unbalanced', 'overpowered,' 'underpowered', 'nerfed', or other indication that the devs can't do math when calculating powersets
    **Take a second drink when someone with mathematical ability proves the poster wrong
15. Posts a doom thread right after the quarterly financial announcement from NCsoft
16. Posts about how an issue loaded with content, QoL changes, and new powersets has "ruined the game"
17. Posts only to state "FPARN"
18. Invokes Hitler, fascism, elitism, etc.
19. Posts "suggestions" (read: demands) in a section other than "Suggestions"
    **Drink a second time if someone subsequently posts a list with links to all other threads on the same topic
    **Drink a third time if any or all of the other threads were started by the same person
20. Posts complaining that an event is deliberately being scheduled to inconvenience/exclude them
    **Take another drink for complaints that a contest excludes them despite legalities over which the mods have no control
21. Asks for a name purge
    **Insists the reason for the purge is "there are no good names left"

Even without alcohol abuse, I think following these rules may result in death by overhydration.

Should these be added as well?

Complains that the Free2Play model is just a money grab and is ripping off the VIP players.

Complains that they're not getting enough stuff for free as a Premium Player.

Infers or states that their suggested changes to the game would be/should be "easy".
(bonus drink if someone invokes the Standard Code Rant)
(bonus drink if Arcanaville adds a post that's under 50 characters long, or within 100 characters of the post limit)

Makes a thread requesting a power set/AT respec within one month of the previous thread requesting one.
(Bonus drink if the previous thread is still on page one of the suggestions forum,)

Addendum:

Makes an accusation that involves 'entitled/entitlement'.

I hope the Post your best costume and similar threads are exempt from #4's addendum concerning images.

And how I'm just thirsty.

Soooooooo ... we basically log onto the forums and continuously drink until we leave or black out?

Welp, buh-bye, liver! It's been fun!

Heh, if we kept adding rules to accomodate every ridiculous forum poster foible, it would moebius loop back onto itself and vanish in a puff of strange particles.

Have a drink for every new rules added to the thread

Cracked me up . . . just after I saw this "drinking game," I then saw THIS POST. But it is too early to start drinking . . .

I am concerned that you don't actually recommend alcohol for this game. At least that way you will eventually stop being able to read the boards entirely because the screen won't stop moving long enough to read a post.

With these rules, it should take about 20 minutes.

Also,

You forgot any mention of "For the greater good" when it comes to co-op

*turns blue from having to drink and drink and drink without getting to take a breath*

*Proceeds to put Johnny B, GG, dug and Blue Centurion on ignore*

It's nothing personal, guys, it's to save my own life.

Since this forum is rated T-for-Teen, even with the disclaimer this thread shouldn't be allowed.

I've had threads modded for lesser "violations" of the ESRB ratings. I'd think promoting alcohol would be right up there on the verboten list.
