The Name of the Game: Blitzcon
Objective: Have a good time drinking with your friends while watching Blizzcon
Rules: At the beginning of your Blitzcon game, everyone will write their name on a piece of paper. They will then place that piece of paper in one of two cups: one cup is marked 'New Class' and the other is marked 'No New Class'. This will come into factor later.
Triggers:
Your class is mentioned in conjunction with 'nerf' or 'nerf bat'. Take 1 shot. BONUS: If the phrase 'to the ground' is mentioned in the same sentence, Take a bonus shot while everyone else points and stage-laughs at you. They may choose to laugh genuinely if they have the mean-spirited nature required to do so effectively.
Someone mentions the Dance Studio. Take a drink.
Someone mentions new character models. Take a drink.
Someone mentions faction favoritism. Take 2 drinks if you are a member of that faction.
Anytime someone says OP or Overpowered. Take a drink.
Someone in your group says OP. They take a drink.
Anytime someone asks a lore-based question that you did not remotely follow. Take 2 drinks to wash away the sorrows of your ignorance.
Blizzard recycles an old dungeon or raid. Take a shot and yell, 'COME ON, BLIZZ!' You know you're thinking it on the inside. Bonus: If it's a troll dungeon, Take a shot and 2 drinks and yell, 'OF COURSE IT'S A TROLL DUNGEON!'
The guy who broke his leg in the dance contest at Blizzcon appears again. (Youtube it if you dare, but I still cringe when I think about it) Take a drink and hope he keeps it on the ground this time.
They mention legendaries. Take a shot. (2 Minute Cooldown. Seriously, honor the cooldown. I won't be held responsible if someone finishes their rum before the hour is up.)
Someone in your group says 'Called it' or 'Man, I totally called that' or any similar phrase as judged by the group at large. That person takes 3 drinks because nobody likes a wise-arse.
Bonus Games:
When the new World of Warcraft Expansion is mentioned, get out the 2 cups from earlier. When the details are out, everyone who guessed correctly gets to distribute 3 drinks. They may take them for themselves or they may give them to anyone who did not guess correctly. Caveat: No person who guesses incorrectly may take more than 8 drinks. Drinks may remain undistributed in the case that only one or two unlucky sods guessed wrong.
Anytime Blizzard says or prints 'SOON', the first person to yell 'TM' or 'TRADEMARK' gets to assign a shot to someone, themselves included.
Definitions:
Drink - when the game specifies a number of drinks, this is a number of swallows of your beverage of choice, whether it's beer, cocktails, or the hard stuff. You set your own pace, but typically a drink will be larger than a sip and smaller than a gulp. If you're unsure if your swallow is too large, I recommend a diet and exercise until it's flight speed is that of an average unladen European swallow of similar size and disposition.
Shot - This is 1 ounce of the hard stuff. Hard stuff is a relative term, but it's recommended that you go with something at least stronger than wine and weaker than a Pan-Galactic Gargleblaster.
Trigger - A trigger is a condition that is or is not met during your Blizzcon viewing. If a trigger is met - that is, the thing happens or is said - then you do the proscribed activity.
Addendum: While this game does encourage social drinking and entertainment value associated with such, alcohol poisoning is a very serious thing and it should not be taken lightly. If at any point you feel you've had enough, declare it thusly and take a break until you happen to feel you'd like to get back in the trenches. Should you think your friend(s) might be overserved, feel free to express concern and suggest they switch to water or coffee or tea for a while. Anyone who is currently sitting out from the drinking portion is still more than welcome to engage in the related shenanigans as this is - above all - a social game centered around the company and content that we all love (or love/hate. or wish we could break up with but picture in a cowboy hat while mouthing, 'I can't quit you!') and you don't need alcohol to express that mutual-love-hate-weirdcowboy thing.
