DDDO Games

[Schmoe]

That's right, I'm talking about Drinking DDO Games. We all know that DDO is srz biznes, but sometimes you just want to relax and kick back with a brew and some homies, ya know? Whether you've zerged Wiz King for the 4th time that night, or you just logged in after a hard day of makin' bacon, you deserve a little sumthin sumthin, and DDDO can help you get there.

Now, as we get older, pesky things start to interfere with our pimpin' lifestyles. You all know what I'm talkin' about: jobs; kids; wominz with rings. It starts to get so that you aren't sure when you had your last bender. You find some time to log in and toss down a few fireballs, and you can't even remember the rules to your favorite drinking games. What's more, noobs these days are all clueless and can't help. They're all like, "Int helps spell pen", and "Con is a dump stat," and "I drink milk when I'm gaming." Gah.

So I'm posting here, and I hope other peeps post too, to pass on some veteran wisdom. To make sure that others can live life to the fullest. To make sure we don't lose this treasured knowledge. And so that when I'm 82 and log in to the game I can tell the nurse to turn me over and git mah dam bottle, cuz I'm a gonna play some DDDO games. I'll start.


MAD (Mutually Assured Drunkenness)

This game is best played with shots of your favorite hard alcohol. The rules are simple. You have a buddy. When either one of you dies, the other one takes a shot. That's it! But while the rules may be simple, the potential for drunkenness is great.

Consider a pair of buddies duoing some quests. While early on they're both on top of their game, a simple slip means a shot. Buddy A starts getting a little tipsy, and is more likely to slip up, leading to a shot for Buddy B. As Buddy B gets more drunk he dies more, leading to more shots for Buddy A. By the time the night is over, both buddies should be dying repeatedly in harbor quests and have more penalties than Tie Domi.

This can be expanded to larger groups, where every time someone dies, the group takes a drink. This is likely to lead very quickly to mass drunkenness. Beware the Shroud... you probably won't finish.

I am shocked, shocked I tell you, that no one on Khyber has any DDDO games to share. It is a sad state of affairs, probably in large part due to these people. Come on everyone, tell us your stories before they are lost in the senile fog of oatmeal and walking canes! Khyber needs you.

I prefer our rules. We die less and drink more.

edit: But I'm more than willing to buddy up for some runs if you want. Just lemme know!

Haha! Touche.

To be honest, I was hoping maybe someone would actually document those rules here in this thread, and we could share ideas for drinking games. I guess those people are probably too drunk to type.

As soon as I don't have to wake up with and watch the kids on the weekends, you're on

Well I used to be in a guild where me and some of the other guild members played a drinking game where we had to take a shot whenever the guild leader yelled heal me during a raid and two shots if there was an expletive in front of the heal me. This could get quite interesting and always got many laughs from those playing.

A guild I was in used to run Tempest Spine raids with drinking games, but they were 'Naked': Every Alt strips to undies and sheaths all weapons... Can only equip gear found during the raid.

Rules were simple:

Everyone: 1 shot upon dying themselves; one shot if they pulled usable gear from chest, 1 shot if they accept someone elses gear; two shots if 'blown' off mountain
Healers: 1 shot on every death.
Rogues: 1 shot every disarm failure, one shot every time a Barbarian found the trap first
Melee: 1 shot every time they asked for a "Hjeal"

I've played many healers under the table
