Most importantly, we must realize that turning Stars! into a drinking
game requires more thought than most games; it may even require being
sober for a short period of time. There are special considerations.
Stars! is turnbased, so real-time drinking is impossible. Furthermore,
these turns can last upwards of 48 hours, which is significantly beyond
the length of a non-holiday hangover. Correspondingly, the drinking
penalties must be scaled up. Drinking must be completed before next
turn's orders are submitted.
The penalties for Drinking Stars!:
1. Taking your first turn: drink a beer.
2. First player to lose a star base: drink a shot for each weapons
tech level you possess.
3. Freighter carrying pop intercepted: drink one shot for each 10Kt
pop carried.
4. Forget to say "Resistance is Useless" before bombing enemy HW:
Drink 1 bottle rum.
5. First player to get cruisers: All enemies must drink one gin and
tonic per hour until they build their first cruiser.
6. First player to get battleships: All enemies must drink one vodka
and tonic per hour until they build their first nubian.
7. First Player to get nubians: All enemies must drink a mixture of
gin and vodka until they actually throw up.
8. Intercept Mystery Trader: drink shot of cinnamon schnapps.
9. Intercept Mystery Trader, get scout hull: drink shot of cinnamon
schnapps mixed with shot of catsup.
10. First player to reach straight 30 mineral concentration at HW:
gather all empties in house, drain them into a cup and drink it.
11. First player to be eliminated: must order case of bourbon sent to
player in 1st place.
12. Getting pushed out of 1st place after a player has been
eliminated: Must drink case of bourbon, and send case of bourbon to
player who pushed you out of first place.
13. Every time you get forked: drink a beer.
14. Every time you leave a build cue empty: drink a beer.
15. Every time you leave a build cue empty and forget to check
contribute only leftover resources to research: drink a beer.
16. Every time you lose a battle to a smaller number of ships: drink a
beer.
17. Running out of beer: drink three shots of vodka.
18. Not completing a turn, passed out drunk in bed: wake your ass up,
drink a beer.
19. Forgetting to drink: drink a beer plus 2x what you forgot.
and last but not least:
20. Not saying "It's full of Stars!" when using an allied warp gate:
Drink whatever your ally drank that turn.
Cheers,
Andrew Wheeler
