Re: Drunk players

Any other points of view before we lay this thread to rest?

I thought we had laid this thread to rest.

Re: Drunk players

I guess I missed this poll while I was taking time off from the game.

Re: Drunk players

Ok was interesting reading peoples experiences of others and themselves.

The results of the poll... well arn't we all a bunch of P heads

Out of the 153 people who voted...

66 admitted to be drunk, 46 said they never get drunk, 29 can't drink (mainly due to being underage) 10 wont admit to anything, which is sufice to say those 10 should be added to the 66 who admit to being drunk on a few occasions while playing. and 2 can't even remember. (though judging by some of the posts, the only thing they remember is loosing alot of money or gear!)

It is interesting that some people think they play better while drunk? hmmm I'll leave that to interpretation. The people who were drunk i've partied with certainly wern't!!

As mentioned by others its not just drunk players that can make partying interesting, but stoned players. For obviouse legal reasons (and the fact that you can be traced by your IP) I will not do a poll on that.

Any other points of view before we lay this thread to rest?

Re: Drunk players

One of my LS mates is always stoned, and I'll tell you, he's a complete retard when he's stoned. It's not only how he's talking or anything, but just the things he does when he's playing. For example, the other night we were in the Temple of Ugglabhelplapoaiwevasdrtihagh (lol) and he pulled both an Opo-opo and a Tonberry, decided to take the Tonberry himself (which was fine, he could handle it) and then Converted in the middle of the fight, right as the mob did Throat Stab. That didn't end too well.

Re: Drunk players

9/10 times im playing ffxi, I am ridiculously stoned.
It was only a problem once, in a key pt, where I got lost in CZB because I had no idea wtf was happening.

I smoke while I'm mining, crafting, muling, etc. I tried smoking once during an XP party and it didn't go too good...we didn't wipe but I kept voking off the nin accidently because I kept screwing up my macros. After a little while of that, I found a replacement and excused myself...

But when I'm not doing anything important, I'm prolly stoned. My ls can usually tell about 2 minutes after I start chatting...then a few of them are like, "OMG I'm coming over ^^", they bring their laptops, and we sit around smoking and playing all night

I can't drink, though...I'm an angry drunk and when I was younger I used to get into fights and stuff, argue with my g/f (who is a weepy drunk, BAD combination), etc. Since I've gotten a little older, I drink maybe twice a year, and only with dinner or something. No pubcrawls for me anymore...

But me and the sweet cheeba, we get along just fine ^^

Re: Drunk players

I've played drunk a few times. Normally after special occasions or parties, which isn't to often for me. Most of the time I would just log in and chat with the LS or help them out with some lower level quest and coffer tanking or something, but I do warn them ahead of time about my condition.

Though I did Exp drunk once. I was the puller and we were pulling raptors, and if any puller that have pulled raptors before, you know how fast those SOBs are, and as a Sam also! Some how some way I nevered died and we had an awsome exp session. Granted I'll always return with less than half my life left, but tha Pld thanked me cause he cured me and that helped him get extra hate at the start So it wasn't all that bad ^^

Re: Drunk players

"I wish I had screenshots, but the last time I got wasted and was playing was a few weeks ago. I discussed our great Fuhrer W with my LS, trolled a few random people, and then later vomited in a corner of my room. I want to get to 65 so I can try that drinking game in Dynamis. It sounds fun."

This hit me funny and I know that's awful, but I laughed out loud for about 5 minutes after reading that line.

NO U. Calm down dude, I was joking.

Re: Drunk players

I use the word. Does that count ?

Sheesh, lighten up.

Re: Drunk players

What are you talking about?

You stereotyped everyone who drinks. Nobody uses the word "Inhibitions". Ever.

If drinking only makes you happy, then you need to look at how to sort out the issues that are making you unhappy. I beleive in the Us the schools have counsellors, I would go and see one and let it off your chest whats making you drink to be happy. You need to deal with this now, as later in life it will cause you more problems, more grief and may even take your life.

Excellent advice. However, school guidance counselors are retarded and don't give a shit about any of their students. When I was 11, I decided to tell my counselor about the child abuse that was going on in my home. He told me I deserved it and asked me to leave. I told him not only about what was happening to me, but what was happening to my older sister. I believe that I did deserve what I got, or at least most of it, but she didn't. Nobody deserves rape. Even after that, he just told me to get out.

I've talked to many different counselors, psychologists, etc. and they all just sit there and look at me from behind their desks. I spent 1 day a week with a guy named Doug, and you know what he got paid to do? Sit there and play Solitaire while I stared out a window. Real fuckin professional there. Excuse my foul language.

My issues could have easily been solved had someone stopped and listened to me for 5 minutes. But nobody did, and now I sit up at night in the dark, knocking back a bottle of Vodka so I can sleep without dreaming. It's a wonderful world we live in. Anyway, enough of my pointless ranting. This is a happy thread, isn't it?

I wish I had screenshots, but the last time I got wasted and was playing was a few weeks ago. I discussed our great Fuhrer W with my LS, trolled a few random people, and then later vomited in a corner of my room. I want to get to 65 so I can try that drinking game in Dynamis. It sounds fun.

Re: Drunk players

i cant drink becouse of under age and i'm smart enought not to do under aged drinking, i dont smoke, do drugs, so i clicked I can't drink

Yeah, same here. Still underage. I'd like to work at a bar, but not drink.
I've seen too many of my friends get into that sort of crap, drugs and drinking, and ruin their lives too early so... I'd rather not.

Re: Drunk players

My linkshell has a Dynamis drinking game we play. The rules are something like:

~1 drink for every junk drop (sparkling stone, infinity core, relic weapons, etc)
~1 drink for every af drop
~1 drink if you receive an af drop
~1 drink every time someone says "woot" (spelled exactly this way) (2 if you said it)
~1 drink every time someone complains about af drop rate (2 if you complained)
~1 drink every time the puller says "big pull"
~1 drink every time someone dies (2 if you died)
~1 drink every time ls leader says "stun" in /linkshell
~1 drink every time main assist says "this is a {some job}"
~Finish your drink if we wipe
~Finish your drink if Trig speaks in /linkshell (Trig almost never talks)

The first time we played, almost the entire BLM alliance was too drunk to talk straight, and we almost completely cleared the zone and took home 500+ currency and 9 or so af.

LOL that sounds like fun.

I've both tanked and played BLM drunk before. Only time I've ever died while xp'n (or let others die) was the one time I was on BLM... Tank was meh and I kinda got bored hitting my macro ever so often.

But usually my LS can tell if I had been drinking because I'll start talking alot. I almost never talk in LS even tho it is a social I 'lead". (Firm believer in letting social only LS's pretty much lead themselves)

Re: Drunk players

Once a LS member drunk txt'd my cell and told me to "TELL THE LS I LOVE THEM!" lmao... which of course I did and now there is a running joke about it~
