Disclaimer: this thread is not for balance discussion or anything like it. Please don't post subtle balance whines into this thread. Thank you

So, each of us runs into a balance discussion once for a while and in some point it degenerates into a biased balance whine and I made a draft of drinking game rules which are meant to take out when a conversation turns into a mindless QQ without any solid arguments. Please contribute and I will add your suggestions to the starting post!

Rules:
General 'Zerg/Protoss/Terran is imba' - Take a sip

SKill X is imba - Take a sip

Skill X is imba and should be removed from the game - Take a shot

Unit X is imba - Take a sip for every supply that unit requires (minimium of one sip)

Unit X is imba and should be removed from the game - Take a shot for every
supply that unit requires
(minimium of one shot)

Someone whines about imbalance after a ladder game. - Take a sip

Caster makes a subtle nudge about imbalance during cast - Take sip

Caster makes a clear statement about imbalance during cast - Waterfall

Players of my main race are just better and everyone else is just riding with imba -
Finish glass

Still implying that race X was ok when it was clearly seen imba - Open a new drink

Someone suggests a balance fix that would break the game in every sense. - Head to a bar.

Even if you only drank a drop of alcohol rather than taking a shot, you'd still end up in the hospital.

lol yeah. do you have to drink if you're constantly thinking it while playing


Still implying that race X was ok when it was clearly seen imba - Open a new drink


uh oh, this one is too open to interpretation, surely ("x is overpowered", "err but yeah he could have got y instead")
There can be only none

Colossus imba and should be removed from the game. Go drink your 12 shots :D !

Fun way of getting drunk, will think about doing it one day.

I think he has shot and sip confused.. To take a shot is when you gulp in a small glass of concentrated alcohol.. Like vodka, jägermeister or whatever around the 40%.
This game would be much more successful with say beer or wine.
You can't do a drinking game with hard liquor.. you'll die man :p

Honestly the 12 shot penalty gets you smashed out of your brains.. kinda reminds me of high school lol ^^

Oh god now I can't read any Starcraft forums ever again. I'd be on for less than 2 minutes and then "well oops, time to head out"

:|

Also realistically if someone actually followed these rules I swear to god they would die of alcohol poisoning in less than a day.

No, I'm meaning shots since when conversation falls into a point you have to take these rules out, you also have to take out the big guns

Why don't you just tell Kennigit to replace his bloodstream with pure alcohol and save himself some trouble?

He shouldn't have to wait for Imbalanced episode 4.

Someone try this on an episode of Artosis's/ Idra's "IMBALANCED"

P.S. - I like how the drinking game is ambiguous enough to apply to any race or any whiner. Well done!
