It used to be tradition that every major tournament casted in english would have drinking games associated with it. The games revolved around poking fun of casters' various odd tendencies or quirks. Whether it be the GOMtv classic, with SuperDanielMan freaking out at how few "tourettes" Terran put up to combat Zerg's Mutalisks, or the TSL, casted by cool hand Chill and the hilarious (although sometimes braindead) Day[9], these games have brought thousands of Starcraft fans from all walks of life together for many years.

Since the release of SC2, the art of the drinking game has nearly become lost within the Starcraft community. I'm here to bring it back. And What better way to do so for NORTH AMERICA'S BIGGEST FRICKING' EVENT, EVER!!! The NASL will be a blast, with some of the world's top players converging in one competition. Anything goes, and the prize is $50,000!

So, by now you might be asking, what makes a good drinking game?

[image loading]

All drinking games must have funny names, or at the very least a name that relates to the game.

[image loading]

All games must have rules. Rules should be easy to follow, think Geico Caveman easy. a good drinking game is something like "if caster says X, you drink and do Y." Games should not have several steps that require complex problem solving to do. If all is going well, even the most intelligent people in the group won't be able to do hard games, for obvious reasons.

[image loading]

All games must have a consequence. Consequences must always drinking, but they may also include saying or doing something ridiculous.

[image loading]

We're all in it together. Drinking games are not meant to isolate anybody from the group, rather, they are group activities. If the rules are met, everyone has to participate!

So, I implore you TL, let's come up with some great games. I will edit the OP as people post good games, but, if you need help getting started, here is my (original) list of madness:

I'll Tell you what...!!

Everytime INcontrol says the phrase "I'll tell you what!" DRINK

Entirety

Everytime Gretorp says the word "Entire" DRINK

Damn, That's High level Play!

Anytime a caster says some variation of the phrase "High level play!" DRINK

PokeBunny

Everytime Tastless admits to poking Artosis, DRINK!

(named after everyone's favorite pint sized gosu

)

But...Mai Kieds

Anytime a caster makes a joke involving a sexual innuendo, you have to say "but my kids!" in your best impression of Dave Chappelle, then DRINK!

inspired by warsinger's thread about Casting Language Standards as well as Dave Chapelle's skit about how he can't bring his kids to the amuesment park because people walk up to him and say "I'm Rick James Bitch!!" (if someone knows where to get the youtube off of the top of their head, i'd love to link it. Can't find it right now

)

Called it!

Everytime a caster predicts a build that a player may do, only to discover that their prediction couldn't be more wrong, DRINK!!

HOLY S***

If any of the casters ever swear on stage, you must first say "holy Shit" in your best impression of the voice from unreal tournament:

Then you gotta CHUG!!

One thought that I should have clarified earlier

Can someone count this stuff for me cause I really cant follow all these rules and would be simpler to upgrade thread and read DRINK!

You can pick as many or as few of the games to play at a single time. Try a few today, a few tomorrow, etc.

What a Long Strange Trip It's Been
Drink whenever Gretorp mentions how many hours or games he's cast for NASL.

Speechless
Drink whenever iNcontroL is silent for a noticeable period of time ~~because he cannot think of any words to respond to whatever Gretorp is talking about. For example, Gretorp makes a joke, it doesn't get a laugh, and he attempts to explain it iteratively.~~

OP EDIT: I think a drink is in order whenever iNcontrol doesn't have anything to say, because we all know that this man loves to talk.

Drink for "NICE FORCEFIELDS" and "AMAZING MICRO" and "HUGE STORMS/EMPS/FUNGAL". And if for whatever reason the casters say "NICE CLOAK" or "NICE GUARDIAN SHIELD", you chug.

Oh god, I live in Finland where it's 7:50 PM at the moment. After 9 PM, the stores won't sell you beer. Now the bad thing about this is, I kind of live in the middle of nowhere..

MUST HURRY, THE INTERNET NEEDS ME.

EDIT: 8:40 PM: After contacting a good friend, I have finally acquired a twelve-pack of our finest Finnish brew, Koff. Problem fixed.

EDIT 2: Oh yeah, might as well suggest a drinking game..

Strike of The Thought Hammer

Every time Sean gets his shit-just-got-real-face on and says "Let me tell you something..", drink.

Hold that shot should be drink twice during the next drink, or drink once the person starts up his train of thought again. How it is to now, is just silly.
