The MP drinking game

Get your goblin champagne/jagerbombs/sunny d and rum ready, because it's time to play the Card Hunter MP drinking game.

Why not settle down for an evening of Card Hunter and get a little squiffy by taking a shot every time:

1. Stexe is logged in.
2. Your opponent plays 2 elf warriors.
3. An opponent character draws 7 cards or more.
4. You manage to complete a match vs someone with -100 or lower Standing.
5. You win a match vs 2 more or wizards in 7 minutes of clock or less.
6. Your opponent uses the world chat for their "gg". (look everyone, I beat a higher ELO!)
7. Your first ragequit (yourself or your opponent).
8. You receive the message "X has disconnected".
9. You meet Snoozie.
10. You or your opponent uses Nimbus 4 or more times in one match.
11. Someone explains to you that the reason you won was luck.
12. You chat block someone.
13. Your MP rank icon changes.
14. You win 3 in a row.
15. You receive legendary loot.
16. Unreliable block blocks.
17. Your opponent keeps passing over and over waiting to use volcano.
18. Your character is on fire in 3 separate ways.
19. You win or lose 6 stars to 0.
20. Purple chest.

 

It almost makes MP tempting, but might have unfortunate side effects.

Have we all been there, or is it just me?

 

Given the proposed criteria for drinking, that wouldn't be a game, it would be suicide

 

I consider it very rude if the winning player says "gg" without the losing player having said anything, especially if the game isn't over yet. It's like they're really saying "you lose".

It's bad manners, right?

 

I don't think so?

I do consider offering the "gg" as a standard for a good player's behavior.

And yes, the losing player might perceive that as mocking/bragging/bad-manners or whatever (especially if he gets very pissed by the very act of losing). But again, I consider the "gl hf" at the beginning of a match and the "gg" at the end of it a given.

Of course the specific attitude, intent and conduct are what sets sportsmanship and rudeness apart. But otherwise, nope, I don't think a "gg" being given to an otherwise untalkative opponent necessarily is an act of rudeness, quite the contrary tbh.

 

I give my opponents the benefit of the doubt. They probably just equate it to the handshake at the end of a sporting event. Now saying gg before the match is actually over when there are unrevealed cards irks me to no end.

 

Yeah, that's a different issue entirely. I don't really get upset whenever that happens, but the feeling of thrashing your opponent after he pre-emptively gave the "gg" is golden!

 

Dunno. I haven't played MP in months, but I'd sometimes tell my opponent "gg" when it was obvious I was dead meat. As in, "You won it fair and square. Good game."

 

Definitely. GG has more meaning then some realize, they can insist on their shallower utilization all they want, its not an empty, unconditional courtesy phrase but an actual review of the game in a nutshell.

 

I think the winner should offer a small bit of solace to the loser, and talk accordingly. Then again, to the victor goes the spoils, so everyone is going to do what they want anyway.

If someone has said nothing the entire match and/or is losing badly, I would think that a 'good game' at the end when they have lost is likely the last thing they want to read. All they probably are thinking about are the 5848973263481937783465768453 mistakes they feel they made during the match, and now you are telling them it was a well-played match. Probably not what they want to hear.

Even worse is when someone types 'gg' and then ends the match quickly without giving someone the time to respond. Now it looks like an ultra-passive-aggressive comment, and that you can't handle any sort of response. It's as if you are pulling your hand away when they go to give you the post-game handshake. Give someone the 15 seconds or so to type out a response (some people enjoy using entire words and not abbreviations), and then decimate them. You still get the same amount of points of elo or whatever.

This also goes for passing to win instead of wasting 1-2 rounds of chasing my last wizard around to score the final point when you only need one. I know it probably feels lame, but don't stall your win just so you can feel better about yourself. You might end up losing as well, why do that? 'sry, i didnt see the score' is the worst excuse around; how can you not know the score? But I digress on that, I'm getting off topic.

If I try this game, I am going to be very drunk. Very very drunk. Good thing I live above a wine store.

 

sometimes i say gg in the middle of the game because it is a good game...

 

No!
gg has its place at the end of the match, so an early gg would be read as intent to forfeit. Of course you still have to consider the actual situation, but I find this type of misuse more irritating then the others mentioned. Its disruptive.

 

I do this on occasion, but I type out "Regardless of who wins, this has been a fun game!"

 

Once in a 1HP quest, the enemy's last guy which had 1HP left was standing on a hot spot, with no less than three burning cards attached to him.
(I would post a screenshot of it except my screenshot was terrible.)

 

Good stuff. Makes me wish characters had sticks and marshmallows.

 

But does that mean you keep taking a shot until I log out? Do you want to kill everyone who tries this?!

 

I had the same response. @Duke Tresnor pointed out that the intention is probably closer to, "take a drink when it becomes the case that you and Stexe are both logged in"

 

No I don't think it's rude. It is the equivalent of someone saying Checkmate. What I consider rude is when someone needs 1 star has control of the VP(s) and you pass and thee keep playing on instead of taking the win.

As for the original post. I think it is a great list, but I think to make it a game only 5-10 of rules should be in effect on a given night. Well depending on if you are taking sips or shots...

 

I will be honest I find the greeting of "gl hf" irritating. If you wanna wish me good luck okay, but telling me to have fun is obnoxious. It's like saying I know normally you only play to win, but with me could you try to have fun... it's the gamer equivalent of Baby on Board. Baby on Board signs (which I know are so 30 years ago) basically said "hey I know you normally drive like a fool, but I want you to know my baby is in the car so could you make an effort to not kill us."

But getting back to the good luck thing do you really want someone to have good luck? I mean really would you be happy if all his unreliable's roll 6s and all your Parrys roll 1s? I mean if you really me to have good luck use your mouse with you off-hand, cover half of your monitor, do something that would really generate some good luck for me. Otherwise what you are really doing is trying to say I am a good sport I hope you are too or you are just fishing for them to wish YOU good luck hoping that the last of utterance is the one that will be heard by the RNG gods and will grant you good luck, which really means you are a selfish jerk just trying to get the gods on your side, which I appreciate but I am NOT falling for.

"gl hf" is a courtesy thing that many yankees simply don't understand.
If it helps, take a drink whenever you see it.
