| − | The [[Nethack|NetHack]] (and [[SLASH'EM]]!) '''Quaffing Game''' is a simple and enjoyable method to share the experience of the utterly delightful trials and tribulations of a solid game of NetHack with a group, locally, online and/or both!
| + | Every time your character quaffs anything, you quaff too! LOLOLOLZ |

| − | === How to Play (The Short Version) ===
| |
| − | # Start a game of [[Nethack|NetHack]] or [[Slash'EM]] (Or any other Hack variant) by letting [[RNG]] choose your [[player|character]] for you ("y" at the prompt)
| |
| − | # Take one drink of your beverage.
| |
| − | # Take two more drinks of your beverage for not choosing a [[conduct]] to follow and announce that you're a turnip.
| |
| − | # If your [[player|character]] [[quaff|quaffs]] something, take a drink.
| |
| − | # If your [[player|character]] gains a [[experience level|level]], say "paxed!" and give out one drink.
| |
| − | # For additional fun, use the Newbie Level [[Nethack Quaffing Game#Incentives and Penalties|Incentives and Penalties]].
| |
| − | # Strive for a high score! When "You [[death|die]]..." pay the penalty, reminisce for a few, and play again!
| |
| − | # When you're ready, look into the more difficult [[Nethack Quaffing Game#Incentives and Penalties|Incentives and Penalties]]!

| − | ==== Helpful Drinking Game Terminology ====
| |
| − | If you are unfamiliar with the average rules of a Drinking Game, the following terminology will benefit you greatly.
| |
| − | *Drink: A sip of your beverage. Not an entire container of beverage, or even an entire glass (large or small) of beverage. Just a solid sip.
| |
| − | *Give Drink: Politely request that someone else playing the game take a Drink of the beverage they are drinking.
| |
| − | *Take Drink: Take a Drink of your beverage.
| |
| − | That's not so hard, is it? Ante Up, [[Nethack Quaffing Game#Mayor McCheese|McCheese]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== The Ante (Creating a Character) ====
| |
| − | To play NetHack Quaffing Game, you must take 1 drink of your beverage. Do so now, just to get in the habit. You'll be required to take your official drink when you actually start the game.
| |
| − | | |
| − | If you let [[RNG]] choose your character for you, continue to the next section without drinking any further. If you choose your own character, drink 5 times, plus the 1 drink for playing. That's 6 drinks [[Nethack Quaffing Game#Mayor McCheese|McCheese]]. These character creation drinks are referred to as your "Ante". Remember your Ante!
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== [[Conducts]] ====
| |
| − | Now that you have appeared in the dungeon, take a look at your inventory before moving. Decide which [[Conducts]] and [[Unofficial Conducts]] you wish to participate in. If you choose not to participate in any [[Conducts]] or [[Unofficial Conducts]], take two drinks and announce to the room that you are a turnip.
| |
| − | | |
| − | For each level gained while retaining any [[Unofficial Conducts]] '''Besides Survivor and Celebate''' give out one drink. This only applies to levels gained for the first time each game (see the [[Nethack Quaffing Game#Professional|Level Drain Penalty]]).
| |
| − | | |
| − | Only the Following Official [[Conducts]] apply to this rule.
| |
| − | *Foodless
| |
| − | *Pacifist
| |
| − | *Illiterate
| |
| − | *Atheist
| |
| − | | |
| − | If a player ever violates a conduct he has given drinks to other players for pursuing, he must immediately take five drinks and pursue the Inventoryless [[Unofficial Conducts|Unofficial Conduct]] for the remainder of that game in addition to other conducts he/she is pursuing. (Yes, this means dropping everything you are carrying, except your blindfold if Zen.) Any further Conduct violations result in 5+''v'' drinks where ''v'' is the number of total violations that game.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== Incentives and Penalties ====
| |
| − | During the course of a game, interesting events will befall every Hacker. In honor of these events, The NetHack Quaffing Game seeks to reward and punish the recipients and perpetrators of said events by allowing them to give out drinks or suggesting kindly that they take drinks based on the actual event that transpires. The most basic, easiest to remember and thus mandatory of these rules is that when your character [[quaff|quaffs]], you must quaff. As for the rest, examine the tables below! If something interesting happens to you that isn't on the list, please mention it in [[freenode|#slashem]] so future quaffing Hackers can "benefit" from your experience!

| − | ==== The End? ====
| |
| − | | |
| − | [[death|Die]] (or [[Ascension|Win]]!) If you've fallen in battle (even if your life gets saved somehow) you drink twice to mourn your loss. Feel free to drink more than twice, [[death|dying]] can be rough.
| |
| − | | |
| − | For each [[Conduct]] (Official or Unofficial) retained unbroken upon [[death]] or [[Ascension]], give out 1 drink.
| |
| − | | |
| − | If an [[Ascension]] occurs, the Ascending player first pays triple their Ante fee, plus any other drinks deemed reasonable/necessary by the other players (Non-Negotiable). Then, for the remainder of the evening, the Ascended player may wantonly deliver drinks to anyone, as they are a [[Demigod]] and that's how it goes.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Any and all Ascensions achieved whilst playing the NetHack Quaffing Game will be posted [[Nethack Quaffing Game Ascensions|here]] to inspire future generations of Hackers.
| |
| − | | |
| − | To play again, simply pay your previous Ante cost plus your new ante cost. To clarify, If you paid 5 drinks on your first character and are paying 1 drink on your next character (more common than you might think) you take 6 drinks, but your Ante for this round is 1. Next run, you pay 1 for your last ante and whatever your current ante cost might be. That way we don't have too many Mayors McCheese strolling around and upsetting the citizenry.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== Play Again? [ynq] ====
| |
| − | To play again, simply pay your previous Ante cost plus your new ante cost. To clarify, If you paid 6 on your first character and are getting ready to pay 1 for your second character (more common than you might think) you take 7 drinks, but your Ante for the second round is 1. Round 3, you pay 1 for your last Ante and whatever your current Ante cost might be.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== Mayor McCheese ====
| |
| − | The term "Mayor McCheese" designates someone who plays the NetHack Quaffing Game (Or even [[Nethack|NetHack]] itself) with the intent to bend the odds in their own favor to some degree, large or small. Perhaps because NetHack Quaffing Game is nothing short of [[RNG]] worship, even selecting your own race/role/gender/alignment is action considered grounds for instant Mayoral Election. "Mayors McCheese" (as they are called plurally) pay quite a bit more drinks to play than your average nameless Hacker as a consequence of the burdens of Cheesy office. See the Ante section for more information on the costs (In drink quaffed, silly!) to play NetHack Quaffing Game.
