Drunk players

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.

Indeed. But when there's only one thing that makes you happy, well...I don't know where I'm going with this.
Ripped straight from a textbook. Fail.

What are you talking about?

Re: Drunk players

I like to play FFXI while drunk and/or under other influences. I find it very relaxing to knock back a few beers or light up and go do some menial task like farming or crafting (or rearranging my MH - I can do that for an hour while drunk -_-; ). I really enjoy the game that way, and almost get into an RPing mode.

I stay away from partying (or doing anything that other people might have to rely on me) until I am sober. I had a bad experience trying to party on my WHM while intoxicated- I didn't mess up or party wipe, but the stress and the intensity of being main heal in the dunes, added to my intoxication, made me break out in a cold sweat and my vision started to blur. I started feeling very ill, and I had to leave the party immediately.

I've never been in an exp party with someone who is obviously drunk, but there are certain people on one of my social LSes that always seem hammered. They tend to just be attention whores and spam LS chat, nothing harmful but kinda annoying after a while.

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.

You go to a bar and see a drunk bloke, smelling, violent, no women wants to be near him, he staggers out, swears at peopel and attracts the attention of the police. he spends numerous nights in the cells as he can't stop himself doing it. One day you could end up being like that, you have a chance to stop that by acting now.

Ive had some people go on and on in LSchat while really drunk. They tend to be emotional and sometimes hostile. It's annoying actually. Alchohol lowers your inhibitions to a point where racist, sexist and elitist remarks start flying out your keyboard...

Re: Drunk players

Yeah, ditto on that one Skoal. I end up writing "j/k" a lot so people don't take me too seriously when I'm just trying to make some jokes.

Some people do not know how to behave when under the influence of alcohol. This is a prime example. I would like to see if these same people would spout off remarks that were mentioned above, in real life. Lots of people are really brave and are badasses when they are behind a keyboard.

I generally act the same way in game that I do in real life. The only real difference is that it hard to convey my sarcasm with typed words.

Re: Drunk players

Last weekend i got home from the bar @ 2am and logged on. I had just lost promyvion-holla for the 3rd time earlier that day, and decided to start a party and try again...
That was a bad idea

True indeed.

Re: Drunk players

It half worries me - but then, I can go weeks without drinking...

Re: Drunk players

I play drunk quite often. For whatever reason, I do better while performing certain tasks drunk. I've mastered the art of drunken typing, so nobody ever knows when it happens unless they talk to me. I tend to ramble alot when drunk and talk about random subjects that have nothing to do with what I'm doing (tanking for example). By the way, I'm an underage alcoholic. :D

Re: Drunk players

It's kind of weird how many people cannot play in a party when they are intoxicated. I play as a Paladin, a very technical job and I can still do that fine. Granted, if I am in a drunken stooper and I am falling down the whole time I will not party. But I get pretty drunk as I am playing (sometimes) and I tell you I don't screw up. If I do screw up it wouldn't be anymore then I usually do when I am sober (which is still not often).
