It's a little-known card/drinking game I've run into... and lived to regret...

All comments welcome - except "Ewwww"...

anyone? anyone at all?

If it's garbage, please do say - any info is better than no info...

And people actually voluntarily *play* this game??



Crikey!

Seriously, though, ATM it doesn't quite read clearly. Obviously the aim is essentially to end up drenching other people in a delightful mixture of spittle and booze; the instructions don't make it even sound vaguely like a game, so maybe if you were to explain how the other people playing the game (ie those who are neither w*nker nor w*nkee) are involved in proceedings.

Quite a horrid drinking game; I can't say I'm tempted to play it!

Hope this helps, anyway!

Is that any better?

Not bad.

Sorry I'm not being more enthusiatic, but given the sort of people I play drinking games with, I would be horrified if I found myself playing this with them. Yuck!

Plus there isn't actually much drinking involved, it would seem; most of the booze must end up over your opponents (damned waste, IMHO).

And it is most definitely *NOT* something to be played with people you a) want to impress, or b) don't know particularly well. I'd fear for my life if I spat in someone's face, even if trolleyed and at the most laidback of parties or whatever.

Structurally, the entry's fine. Much clearer now, following your amendments, and it reads easily and smoothly. I'm just having trouble with the content, as it makes me feel a little ill. Perhaps you could make it sound a bit more like 'this is the nastiest, most horrid drinking game there is', because otherwise it makes it a little hard to justify spitting at people, even in the name of consenting fun. Most drinking games work because the worse (or unluckier) you are at them, the more pissed you get, and sadistic treatment of one's peers isn't as important as them making fools out of themselves.

Sorry if I sound like a bit of a disapproving 'high-horse' type!

I have to agree with you - this is a horrendous 'game', and the person who thought it up clearly needs help... that said, I do feel that drinking games in general tend to have features of sadism and the worse aspects of peer pressure rolled up in them - 7CW just takes this to it's logical extreme.

I've added the following to the start of the entry, which may help clarify things for those researchers who need someone else to form their opinions for them... that do it?

> "This game is possibly one of the nastiest and most unpleasant game ever invented, and researchers are advised to stay well away from it at all costs. Playing this game can cause stains on clothing, and has the potential to cause fights, hard feelings, and loss of friendship. It can also lead to eye, ear, throat and nose infections, possibly leading to permanent damage to sight or hearing. You have been warned."

I have to say this game sounds bloody awful and I couldn't make it past the 2nd or 3rd paragraph. Despite that the entry seems very good.

Anyone every played the drinking game "Revolver"?

Well at least the first three para are good...

never played revolver - at least knowingly...

In here or an entry?

Which regiment are 'First Three Para', then? And what, pray, are they good at?



And Revolver's good - I especially like the final track, 'Tomorrow Never Knows'.

huh?

So what's happening with this entry? I thought I'd revitalise it as there appear to be a couple of drinking games in PR

umm... languishing?

Incidentally, both other games reinforce my belief that all drinking games are an exercise in applied sadism...

God. Forgot about this one . I pride myself on having played most drinking games but this .

Doesn't meanit shouldn't be in the guide though

Got to go in for the sheer vulgarity.

This really shud be moderated!

Excellent entry i look forward to playing it!

Lucinda, I look forward to exchanging bodily fluids oneday!

This is one disgusting game....
It should definitely go in to the guide.
So a little "fan post" to move it up the forum

yeay! I have fans and everything!

*bows head*

narrowly avoiding mouthful of Pernod & Black that was gobbed at his face

Definitely a nasty game, although far from the worst. After all, I've watched guys (try to) play "Biscuit" before.....

NOOOOOOOOH!

I've always thought the biccie game was apocryphal - I feel ill now I know people actually do it.
