Any drinking game is a good game if you ask me. Cullen, Josephine, Leliana and Cassandra for the llamas.

[tosavecocoon]

drinking game? what are those like? ooh names! are those friends of yours?

[ataashihunter]

You mean you don't have them? Any games that lead to more drinking. There is a whole host of them.

And yeah, sort of. They lead the organization I work for.

[tosavecocoon]

well... maybe? [ uh-oh. she's sounding too much like an outsider. ] we dont have games where the point is drinking more alcohol. am i missing something important?

so theyre good people. ill put those names on the list!

[ataashihunter]

Only if you enjoy getting drunk or watching your friends do so. A lot of us enjoy that though.

[fishermansweater]

Have you ever played There Once Was a Crab?

[tosavecocoon]

no whats that one like

[fishermansweater]

You tell a story. Someone says a sentence that starts with "There Once Was a Crab".

Then someone else says another sentence, and someone else says another. You wind up with a story.

It gets pretty ridiculous.

[tosavecocoon]

ohh! that sounds fun. do you think we could try that?

[championofsnark]

Drinking games. Any kind of card game. What are llamas? Name them after purple things.

[tosavecocoon]

youre the second person to suggest drinking games. are they really popular?

i could. i think. if i can come up with four purple things!

Where I'm from? Yeah, it's basically a city past time. Get together with your mates, get drunk, have stories to tell the next day.

Grapes. I think there are some flowers that are purple, yeah? Oh, stones! I've seen some gem stones.

[tosavecocoon]

that doesnt seem like it would get a lot of things done.

[ stories, yeah... not so much on keeping village life going forward the next day, though. ]

i was thinking flowers! someone suggested orchid. i like that one. maybe some gems too.

[connatural]

It's harder here but I used to play a citywide tag game with some people I knew growing up. It's hard when they came smell you from a mile away.

Fuchsia. Orchid. Boysenberry. Mulberry.

[tosavecocoon]

sounds as hard as playing fetch with a gorgonopsid

[ oh crap, that probably just gave her away. play it off, vanille! good thing this is text and not in person. ]

i could name them after flowers, couldnt i. i like orchid. i think one of them could be an orchid.

[connatural]

wait what? What is that?

You totally could. I think that would be perfect. And not to mention so cute.

[tosavecocoon]

[ crap. she's been trying to fit in and was doing really well! maybe she can play this off, too. ]

oh! i think they're canines. they have really long snouts and lots of teeth. kind of like a wild dog? they're very vicious and i don't think they take direction well.

that's settled! orchid is one of them. now i just need... three more.

Uno. It's a card game. The basic rules are really simple to learn, but you can add your own to make it interesting. Fun to play with people you don't know.

[tosavecocoon]

so how do you play it? why is it called uno?

if we find a deck of cards, would you teach me?

[tothefly]

Uno means one in Spanish. The point of the game is to get rid of all of your cards and make the other players take more

It's fun. Definitely more fun than poker, which some people take way too seriously

I've never tried to play it with a regular deck of cards, but I'm sure we could make it work, if you really want to try.

[tosavecocoon]

oh so you have to have a special deck? i wonder if anyone has one. or could make one. it cant be that hard to just make one right?

is poker really competitive? whats it like

un: gamemaster

[spoileralert]

Ever played Never Have I Ever?

[tosavecocoon]

no, whats that one

[spoileralert]

You start out with ten points (or shots), and take turns saying something you've never done. Like, 'never have I ever seen a desert'. And

everyone who HAS done it loses a point (or takes a shot). Once you have no points left, you lose.

[tosavecocoon]

that sounds like fun

except

shots? do you have to hurt someone if they lose a point?
