From: hohncho@uclink2.berkeley.edu (Hohn Cho) Date: 9 Feb 1996 04:59:31 GMT Here's a repost of a drinking game I created several months ago. Feel free to try to integrate/add/whatever. * * * OK, in the fine tradition of Internet drinking games, I've decided to write _the_ definitive RJ WoT drinking game. Be the life of the party! Amaze your friends! Ideal for DFS's! Spend the next morning heaving your guts out! *WARNING* This game is not for the faint at heart, or liver. For seasoned alcoholics only, or at the _very_ least, alcoholics in training. Comments, additions welcome. Directions: Get a group of RJ fans together. Assemble a large quantity of alcoholic beverages. Take turns reading passages (dealer's choice) from a book aloud. Note: beer or wine is recommended. Hard liquor should only be used in mixed drinks. Shots will have you on the floor rather quickly. Drink a sip if: o Rand channels. o Mat has a 'luck' episode. o Perrin talks to wolves. o Nynaeve gets angry and/or tugs her braid. o Egwene thinks Rand is getting too big for his britches. o Elayne acts like a spoiled princess. o Min sees a vision. o Aviendha talks/thinks about 'ji', 'toh', or dancing the spears. o Moiraine manipulates someone. o Lan's face appears to be 'carved from stone' or the like. o Thom juggles or tells a story. o Ishamael appears in a dream. o Lanfear talks about power or glory. o Fain giggles, froths, or otherwise demonstrates his ample madness. o Faile is annoying. o Loial mentions a book (two sips if it's his book). o Berelain appears in some skimpy outfit. o Gawyn worries about Eg/El. o Galad shows his 'goodness'. o Bela is mentioned! o any male character thinks about how so-and-so is better with women. o any male character acts chivalrous/macho towards a woman. o any female character sniffs. o any female character futzes with her skirt. o any female character's neckline swoops in T'A'R. o any female character "folds her arms beneath her breasts". o any female character thinks about a man's nice 'shoulders'. o any main character kills a Shadowspawn. o a sword form is mentioned. o someone uses the Old Tongue. o something about Seanchan culture is revealed. Drink a gulp if: o Rand shows his madness seeping through. o Mat actually accepts responsibility in some way. o Perrin demonstrates his naivete. o Nynaeve faces off against Moghedien. o Egwene talks/thinks about being an AS/WO/Amyrlin. o Elayne hits on Thom. o Elayne makes a ter'angreal. o Min calls Rand 'sheepherder' or refers to his rustic background. o Aviendha chases off some woman out to seduce Rand. o any AS acts imperious/arrogant. o someone uses a *'angreal. o something about Ogier mating or courtship rituals is revealed (two gulps if it's about something incredibly racy, like _ears_). o a Seal gets broken. o someone uses the Ways. o someone uses a Portal Stone. o we see someone deal with the *'finn. o the Shadar Mandarb gets lost or acquired. o Bela is mentioned! o one of the main characters kills a _human_ (chug if the victim is another main character). o one of the main characters has MPS with a minor character. o Tam discovers his son is the Dragon Reborn (two gulps if he knew all along). o we find out who killed Asmodean (chug if it's someone that _no_one_ has ever suggested). o we find out who sent the gholam to kill Fel. o we find out either Moiraine or Lanfear is still alive (chug if we discover they're really dead). o we read something in ALL CAPS. o we learn something about Shara. Chug if: o Rand goes barking mad and injures/kills a loved one. o Rand ends up marrying all three of Av/El/Min. o Mat loses an eye. o Perrin starts treating Faile as a 'good Saldaean husband' should. o Nynaeve breaks her block. o Olver turns out to be Gaidal Cain. o Taim turns out to be Demandred. o Logain draws Callandor. o Moiraine and Thom get married. o we see Machin Shin 'get' someone. o we ever meet Jain(m) Farstrider. o the Horn of Valere is blown. o Bela is mentioned (OK, maybe that's getting to be a bit much)! o a Forsaken gets offed (chug twice if a Forsaken gets resurrected) (note this is cumulative with the gulp for killing a human). o one of the main characters has sex with another main character. o Galad and Rand have a 'showdown at the OK Corral' type scene. o Aludra's matches are used against the *'finn. o RJ ever makes a significant reference to a 'badger' (drink everything in sight if 'badger' turns out to be a euphemism for a piece of the male anatomy).
