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.

hahaha, so true.

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")
|
Make a comment about colussus being OP -> drink a shot while wobbling around imitating a colossus.
|
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.

go to the hydra/HT forum you will wish alcohol didnt exist
|
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!
|
for the sake of livers everywhere...
Lets not and say we did?
|
|
|
I... I like drinking and I like Starcraft, but I don't want to die. :S
|
I want to live! Please god no!
|
I made some adjustments to the rules and changed most of the shots to sips, since it's still a draft. I hope anyone didn't actually try these yet :D
|
Do people actually have drinking games while surfing TL alone? That's probably a sign that you need help. I like day9 and djwheat's drinking games because I can watch the streams with my roommates and enjoy destroying my liver in a social setting.
|
I've done smash bros., mario kart, and all sorts of other drinking games and went outtt at the end.
This'll kill someone o_O
|
As much fun as drinking is, as much fun as Starcraft 2 is and as much fun is bemusedly perusing forums bemusedly looking at all the absurd QQ, a combination of all 3 would probably be lethal.
Btw, while stuff like the Day[9] drinking game or the KoT drinking game can be social events, this seems just like getting hammered by yourself in your room with just TL for comfort.

Sooo...I don't know about you Swedes, but given the fact that you always at least come to Denmark or straight to Flensburg, Germany, to buy alcohol cheap, you might as well take advice from the guys drinking that stuff.
- If a drinking game shall be carried out with shots, use spirits with sweet flavors, like Baileys, whatever berry-flavoured vodka is offered with around 30 proof (15% vol.). If not available, dilute hard liquor with juices or lemonade, damnit.
At an age of 18 years or more and a body weight of 75 kg or more you can easily take 15 of them and still remember who your girlfriend is, where you live and how you are supposed to get there. (aka be only hardcore drunk but still operational in the general sense) And this only applies if you have a couple of bottles of beer as an accompanying acessiore all the time.

Someone should ban this guy, CLEARLY he wants all admins dead.

should do this with the SC2 themed alcoholic beverages
remove collosus? gogo drink 12 motherships
|
Dont go to b-net forums if u wanna play this drinking game
|
Hahaha, that's really funny.
"Mothership is imba and should be removed from the game"
"This is gonna get wild"
|
This game is too deadly. You especially need to stay away from IRC and Reddit. 
|
Ok, funny idea and all but seriously, Terran is imba. I mean wtf Combat Shields giving marines 10 more hp than they already need, how imbalanced is that? Very, but not nearly as imbalanced as Stim Pack, you could increase the build time to 10 minutes, it'd still be imba and should immediately be just removed from the game to be honest.
Also Void Rays are imba as hell, nerf their speed, increase their build time and take away their massive buff, seriously. That and Colossus...they're a lost cause and should be removed in a hotfix ASAP. I just fniished a ladder game and the guy only went Void Ray/Colossus, and won without me ever standing a chance. : /
The only race requiring ANY skill is Zerg, which is why I play it as my main, T and P players wouldn't stand a chance in Silver even, they're only doing well at all because they chose the easy races. Bring back the old roaches from beta and maybe Zerg will start getting close to balanced. Should probably give them the speed increase base aswell, it's stupid they can't run until I make a lair and them how to move their legs faster, what the hell Blizzard? And they're Roaches, lore wise they should only have like 10 second build time at most, and that'd really help balance too.
Anyway just needed to get that rant out of the way for no particular reason. Hope you all have a lovely evening with no hospitalisations or anything. :D
+ Show Spoiler +Yeah, I'm joking. I think the game is reasonably well balanced, and I'm still trying to get out of Bronze, balance is the least of my concerns.

You should add "but at least 1 shot" (so it can include Overlords, Mules, ....)

Nomnom alcohol! Haha i like this idea, can do it during state of the game too!

Ur paying for my hospital bills..
Joking, still a minor.

Just for the hell of it, I thought I'd add up how much alcohol your post alone will inflict upon poor readers:
Terran is OP - Sip x 1
Combat Shields OP - Sip x 1
Stim Pack OP and Should be Removed - Shot x 1
Void Rays IMBA - Sip x 3
Collosus Should be Removed - Shot x 6
Zerg is best - Finish Glass
Zerg needs old roaches - go to bar
Grand Total: 5 Sips, 7 Shots, Finishing the Glass then heading to a Bar.
You're going to kill someone.

So what, is this drinking game played throughout your entire life or what's the setting? And is it you who has to drink if someone else says something is imbalanced or does that person have to drink.
NVM I see.
|
Anytime someone improperly uses the word "Meta-Game" - Take a shot
|
LOL sounds somewhat entertaining. I also think it would be funny to include :
Imbalance/whine thread including replay - First post says "Didnt/cant watch replay" - Take a shot
|
SC2 takes no skill
How much do I need to drink?

To add on to this, any new strategy thread that pops up with no replay attached when the OP is qqing. DOWN THE WHOLE BOTTLE

OP is from Finland, Finnish people come to Sweden to get drunk.. Shush.
Baileys is a drink, not a shot. If you wanna do shots it's better be 30%+, otherwise you should put it in a drink glass.
The north region is more known for its hard liquor anyways
Trust me, 12 shots (I mean shots, not bailies, beer, wine or whatnot) will get you pretty gosh darn drunk, unless you drink substantially in your every day life.
|
Anytime these statements are included in a imba whine: "Completely hopeless" "Impossible to beat" "Tried everything" - 1 shot for every time any of the above statements are used
Edit : "Switching to T because of X matchup/strat" - 1/2 Bottle

Crap, if i ever take one look @ the blizzard forums, i will die from alcohol poisoning.
