- The Canonical Drinking Game
-
-
-
- Compiled by: Mark Yocom (n9043860@henson.cc.wwu.edu)
-
- ===========================================================================
-
- Requirements: Episode(s) of ST:TNG
-
- This list
-
- People (the more the merrier)
-
- Beverages of your choice
-
-
-
- Instructions: Simple. Watch the show, and whenever a condition is met,
-
- take the appropriate number of drinks. The definition of
-
- "drink" should be decided before game play starts. Usually,
-
- a good mouthful will suffice. Optional rules are included
-
- at the end of the list for fun variations on the "standard"
-
- game.
-
-
-
- Compiler's Note: I would advise taking some time before game play starts
-
- to decide which conditions to use and which to ignore.
-
- Remember that this list is canonical, so you probably will
-
- _not_ want to use them all (especially with a new episode,
-
- since you'll spend all your time reading the list, rather
-
- than watching). Please send any corrections, suggestions,
-
- requests, submissions, flames, etc. to the address listed
-
- above.
