All the Tropes Wiki Drinking Game: Difference between revisions

{{tropeJust for Fun}}

=== Regular Edition:General ===

* Take a mouthful for every new trope article that gets started without being first run through YKTTWthe Trope Workshop.

** If said article is actually worth keeping around, rather than instant [[Cut List]]deletion fodder, finish that bottle off.

*** If it's from ''[[DoctorDr. HorriblesHorrible's Sing -Along Blog]]'', take three sips instead.

**** If it's from ''[[Firefly]]'', drain the rest of the bottle.

**** If it's [[Beyond the Impossible|Joss talking about ''Firefly'']], drain another bottle.

** ''[[Magic: The Gathering|Magic the Gathering]]'' card flavor text

** ''[[The Order of the Stick|Order of the Stick]]''

** ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]''

** ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series|Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Series]]''

*** Drown your sorrows at the lack of originality whenever there's a "Screw X, I Y" YKTTWcandidate or Trope that has nothing to do with the Abridged Series.

** ''[[Warhammer 4000040,000]]''. Chug your drink if the Quotes page is made up of more than two-thirds ''[[Warhammer 4000040,000]]'' quotes.

* Pour your drink into another glass and take a sip if the page contains a link to [[Allitself. ''(And then tell the Tropesmods, Wikibecause DrinkingMediaWiki Game|itself]]shouldn't let this happen.)''

** Pour your drink into another glass, then back to the first one, ''then'' take a sip if the page contains a link to an alt title of itself. ''(Unlike a straight link-to-itself case, this one can happen.)''

* Take a sip for every [[Pothole|Pot Holed]]d [[Take That]].

** Take two sips for every plain old un-[[Pothole|Pot Holed]]d Take That.

** Take three sips every time someone [[Pothole|Pot Holes]]s to [[Take That]] for a completely unwarranted reason (wow, this'll happen a lot...)

** Chug when accidental (and unnecessarily-spaced) red text iswas created during the fork's wiki conversion by a non-trope word -- like McDonald, and still hasn't been fixed.

* And speaking of The Game... take a sip every time you lose. Then take another if a particular mention of The Game also mentions [http://xkcd.com/391/ the liberating ''xkcd'' strip].

** If you don't live in either, sing both, one after the other, in whatever order you choose. (And if you don't know their tunes, whatever melodies you choose, as well.)

* Take a sip every time [[This Troper]] shows up to give a very subjective opinion and/or relate an anecdote from their own life (and you're not insee [[This Troper Tales]]).

** Take two sips if [[This Troper]] relates how shocked, SHOCKED''shocked'', they are that an example from their favorite series hasn't already been added.

** Also take a drink for each example that consists of "<something>. 'Nuff Said."

** Drain your glass if you can't actually puzzle out what exactly is being referred to without mouse-overingmousing over the link.

*** Back down to two sips if they [[Pothole]] to [[Hercules (Disney1997 film)|Hercules]] while using three words.

** Take a sip if the example says "Full stop" or "'Nuff said" ...but then still continues on after that with an explanation anyway. (Doesn't countTwo if it's a sub-point that starts with something like "For the benefit of those not familiar, we'll explain it anyway..." Though, in truth, this probably also deserves a sip.)

** {{spoiler|Take a sip if you had to uncover this to read it.}} <ref> That's a free pass, by the way.</ref>

** Chug if the spoilered thing is [[It Was His Sled|something that people who've never even seen the work in question knowsknow]]. The site's various running gags (such as hiding the fact that {{spoiler|Jesus dies}} in spoiler tags) are optional.

** Like {{spoiler|fucking}} solitaire?

** {{spoiler|The cake is a lie.}}

* Take a sip for every trope that's identified as an anime-specific trope (either in the article itself, or because the article is solely indexed under [[Japanese Media Tropes|Japanese Something]] [[Japanese Visual Arts Tropes|Tropes or]] [[Japanese Animation Tropes|Anime Tropes]]) even though its list of Western examples <s>is as long or longer than the list of anime examples</s> is not empty.

** Take a sip every time [[Truth in Television]] is abused to designate what once would have been a [[Troper Tales]] example.

*** Take three shots and then juggle the glasses if somebody italicizes the show's name and then [[PotholesPothole]]s a character instead of, y'know, ''using the name of the show to link to the show's page.''

* Take a sip if an example lists by number the installments of a series that does not use [[Numbered Sequel|Numbered Sequels]]s, such as ''[[Fire Emblem]]''.

* Take a ''loooooooong'' drink for every time someone is told to recite the ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]'' Mantra, or whenever the mantra is referenced. Doesn't count on the actual page.

*** Put that drink back if the [[MST3K Mantra]] is just there to move said lengthy discussion to the [[Just Bugs MeHeadscratchers]] section.

* Take a swig of a completely different drink if the [[Trope Namer]] isn't an example of the trope. (And should be.)

Bonus sip if the example is mentioned in contradictory terms -- asterms—as a straight example and then as a subversion, for example. Then, y'know, delete the duplicate.

* Take a sip every time there's a link to the old version of ''[[8-Bit Theater|8-Bit Theater's]]''{{'}}s archive. Don't bother fixing it, it'd take too long.

** Take two if they actually use that wordterm.

*** Take three if an egregious [[Pothole]] is how you initially found [[All the Tropes Wiki Drinking Game|this page]].

*** Take four drinks if the example is ''particularly'' [[All the Tropes Wiki Drinking Game|egregious]]

** Note: For those with stomachs of steel or a death wish, try the [[Guide Dang It]] page. Twelve "egregious"es, all potholed, six of which are "particularly" egregious. That's...30 drinks. Good luck. Now there's 16 "egregious'es"es on that page.

*** [[Running Gag]] is worse. [[Niel Jacoby|This Troper]] prides himself on (almost) singlehandedly spelling a surefire path to painful death by cirrhosis,

**** Damn you! * hic*

** If the overuse of the word egregious seems like a [[Dead Unicorn Trope]] because every time you see it, it's potholed to [[Egregious]] or [[All the Tropes Wiki Drinking Game]], finish whatever you're drinking.

* Take a drink for every use of a [[Predefined Messages|Prededefined Message]] in YKTTWthe Trope Workshop.

* Take a sip every time an article potholes[[pothole]]s to itself.

*** When reading through an [[Alternate Character Interpretation]] of the comic, take a shot every time Dominic is referred to as "Lord Domenuce". Place bets on what comes first -- alcoholfirst—alcohol poisoning or the ACI becoming entertaining.

** Take three sips if '''HERO OF THE IMPERIUM!''' is [[Pothole|potholedpothole]]d into [[Fake Ultimate Hero]].

** <s>Take two sips if you check the page history and see that [[Lurkerbunny]] was '''not''' the one who mentioned him. Of course, you'll only be able to tell if it's a recent edit. Her making his name a [[Wiki Word]] does not count, as it wasn't the initial mention.</s> Since Lurkerbunny hasn't made the hop from [[The Other Tropes Wiki]], just take two sips.

*** Take a shot everyimeevery time Candle Jack is [[Pothole|pot holed]]d to [[Freakazoid!|Freakazo]]

* Take a sip everytimeevery time you encounter an entry that links to [[Wall Banger (Darth Wiki)|Wall Banger]], and remove it because we don't want [[Wall Banger (Darth Wiki)|Wall Banger]] linked to outside [[Darth Wiki]]. If it's a really bad one drink a whole damn bottle. Of absinthe. It dulls the pain.

* Take a sip everytimeevery time you see [[Metal Gear Solid|Big Boss]]'s name [[Pot HoledPothole]]d to either [[Stupid Sexy Flanders]] or [[Even the Guys Want Him]], and a sip and a half if it's Solid Snake with the aforementioned Pot Hole.
