From the forum thread: "Wiki Drinking Game
"
Ununnilium: Love it.
Inkblot: If you don't like those aspects of TV Tropes, don't complain about it by making a drinking game, fix it!
fleb: Well, the YKTTW ones, at least, can't be fixed. The fact that there are Trope Overdosed examples, if they're genuine, isn't even a problem that should be fixed. And presumably the others are being fixed, continually, but multiply like the severed heads of the Hydra.
Shotgun Ninja: I'm interested in something: where did the image counts come from? Because I don't think there are that many Mahou Sensei Negima pictures up (I only remember four, and that included it's main page).
Servbot: Search for "[Wikilinked show] http" I think. However, there seems to be something wrong with our Search engine right now...
Later: Ah, okay. Janitor mentioned in Ask The Tropers that the search function's now word sensitive, so I guess that trick won't work anymore.
Nentuaby: Can we stop potholing Egregious in article bodies? It's okay- okay, it's hilarious- in the examples, but in the article body it seems to break the reading flow a lot more.
Jonn: Should Burn Notice quotes be added to that page header section?
Egregious Eric: Are there enough pages with Magic The Gathering pictures to warrant addition? There's 8 if you count Crack is Cheaper.
Deux Hero: Seems I taken to noting it off the wiki
Paladineer: Isn't the Dominic Deegan "drain the bottle if the snarker has a valid complaint" thing in the liver failure section a little harsh? Especially given that at bare minimum, 15% of the viewers are snarkers (assuming visitors only visitors from Giantitp and Badwebcomics are snarkers, which is a very low estimate)? And since many of the complaints are things like this (find Dex's left leg)? Just thought I'd put that out there.
Wicked223: How am I supposed to remember all these rules?
Foamy: You aren't. You're supposed to be hospitalized by overconsumption of alcoholic beverage. Those rules you are looking for can be found here.
Thnikkafan: By the way, what are the tropes with a picture from Suzumiya Haruhi on the top? Let's see... Moe Moe, Genki Girl, Emotionless Girl, Eye Beams, Deadpan Snarker, Beach Episode, Skinship Grope (same picture, too), Playboy Bunny, Eyes Always Shut (I think they changed that, though), er, Suspiciously Apropos Music...
Nohbody: Ruling request. For the one about taking a drink if someone talks about TV Tropes becoming like The Other Wiki, do mentions of other encyclopedias count? Or is the comparison only between two wikis, not any non-TVT source of info? As I noted in the Cool Plane Discussion, it's not like some of us need much of an excuse to drink, this is just a curiosity question.
Thinks Too Much: About the following:
Down a swig of hot chocolate if a Crowning Moment Of Heart Warming Troper Tale talks about someone in the third person ends with "Oh and by the way? That guy/girl was me!" or any variant.
- If you actually care or your heart is warmed, go kill yourself. Don't worry; you'll be fine.
G-Mon: Here's one that I was thinking of adding, but don't know where it should go on the page:
- Take a sip for every redirect to the page you're on. *
- Take one more sip if you came to the page through a redirect.
Amake: Is it really a drinking game if you take a drink every time anything happens? I just read through the article and now I've got alcohol poisoning. . .
G-Mon: And I see that someone hasn't read the note before the rules.
G-Mon: Idle observation: the current rules for the "Egregious" section of the page, if you're drinking for this page, qualify for 30 drinks, plus two whole glasses. And this discussion page counts for three more, plus another glass.
