bar (tender) game rules!

[directrice]

Premise & PvP

• It's a bartending game! Inmates will be making drinks to serve their customers... who are other inmates! (Inmates cannot request from their own team, but they can request from other teams.)


• Drinks can be either requested by name from the recipe book and/or custom-made to order. Inmates can ask for as many drinks as they want, but they will be grading the drinks, so don't order too much! Or maybe order too much? Order as much as desired, honestly.


• Here's the catch to these drinks: each ingredient can only be obtained from the magical self-locking cabinet by doing one of the following four "base ingredient" tasks:
  
  • Coffee: Tell a truth
    
  • Tea: Share emotions (verbally or through emotionshare)
    
  • Juice: Share a memory (verbally or through memoryshare)
    
  • Alcohol: Drink the proffered alcohol to get the better/specific stuff fom the cabinet. (Not ICly known: alcohol is laced with compulsive truth-telling effects!)
  
  
• Flavoring ingredients (agave, milk, etc) are obtained by "flavoring" one of the above tasks, as it were. FOR EXAMPLE: A !!shocking!! truth will get you 1 Club Soda and 1 shot of Coffee. This means you may get extra ingredients and that's OK.


• There is no maximum for how many parts can be added to a given drink, so you can order an Irish Coffee with 16 parts Agave if you really want. if you really want??

Win Criteria

Five teams will win based off the following criteria:

• Most mixed drinks
  
• Highest % of correctly mixed drinks (e.g. the right recipe & extra parts). This will be determined by the customers!
  
• Most creative original drink
  
• Drink that is the Most. end of sentence
  
• Audience choice

Nitty Gritty Details

• 1 Flavoring ingredient per base ingredient task, even if a memory or emotionshare has a LOT of keywords going on. Just pick one or roll for it \o\


• Memories cannot be controlled when shared! Inmates can direct their memories to a specific keyword, but they cannot pick the exact memory. Memories from Reverie count (but pls tap your thread partners first so ppl know that's happening) and amnesiacs can get memories that were locked to them.


• Once the drink is completely mixed, effects from that drink wear off, but not before then—so someone can be doing an empathy bond and also a memory share at the same time, depending on the drink.


• Just in case: if NSFW comes up in memories/etc, please note it in the subject line and tap your teammates for comfort before having your character share!


• Yes I did steal this from Genshin thank you for noticing that this is the best event in this and any game in existence

QUESTIONS

[menphina]

I'm assuming this means that scoring won't count if they make drinks for their own team but will the effects still occur if they try to make their own team drinks?

[sharknundo]

The only win criteria those drinks don't qualify for are "Highest % of correctly mixed drinks"—it'll still count toward "Most drinks made" etc if they make drinks for themselves!

Effects do still occur o>

[menphina]

OH EXCELLENT because it would be fun to have teammates "enjoy" the effects from other teammates though oh god all the bathroom visits

[sharknundo]

yes. you can in fact make your teammates confess 16 vulnerable truths unskippable. open friendly fire Megumin-sama it's fine the bathrooms can handle it

QUESTION

Lan Wangji literally passes out after one drink and then is too drunk to control his actions afterwards for a couple of hours. I'm not categorically against playing with this but it is, how you say, an obstacle to gameplay as written

He also doesn't lie anyway so the alcohol thing would be 100% just him passing out and then backflipping out of the game to do stupid shit like construct couch forts instead of sharing memories. I want him to share memories. He wants to share memories. This would be a repeat roulette of either being stuck making the non-alcoholic drinks or just TOO COMICALLY LIGHTWEIGHT TO SHARE HIS TRAUMA

How would you personally play with this situation? Can he ask teammates to get the alcohol for him? Can there be virgin substitutes that also give you effects. I don't necessarily need the latter I'm just trying to envision how I will be the best Lan Wangji bartender for Phoenix I can be within the rules. This is the dumbest problem, please understand

[sharknundo]

Everyone on the team helps to make the drinks, so Lan Wangji can handle all the ice crushing (to share memories and make juice) and/or ribbon tying (to create an empathy bond and make tea) and/or honest truth telling (to...... tell the truth, and also make coffee) and someone else on the team can handle the alcohol (compulsive truth telling effect)!

[strikingchords]

OKAY. SO LAN WANGJI CAN JUST TELL THE TRUTH BECAUSE HE'S A NERD. It will probably be clearer how it will work in practice, thank you!

I mean he's gonna get drunk at least once because otherwise why am I RPing but good to know that he'll be able to participate consciously in more than 10% of the game.

[sharknundo]

YEEEEAHHHHHH

Re: QUESTIONS

[mountanoffensive]

I don't understand how multiples of the same flavor would work since you're just adding an adjective. For example, in your 16 parts agave circumstance, how would that work with a truth? You can only make a memory shocking once. Am I missing something? I feel I'm missing something.

Re: QUESTIONS

[sharknundo]

SO BASICALLY, each flavor is an emotion that colors the base task. Like, if you want JUST club soda, you can't get it—you can't just DO a shock or DO a confidence, it has to be one of the three tasks (telling a truth/sharing emotions or making someone else feel that emotion/share a memory).

If you want 16 club sodas, then you want to do 16 tasks WITH club soda keywords. So like, 16 shocking memories, or 16 shocking truths, etc—mix and match and such!

This DOES mean you will also have like, 16 extra parts of juice if you do 16 shocking memories. Those are just leftover ingredients that you can use for later drinks!

Re: QUESTIONS

[mountanoffensive]

Ah, okay, I think I get that. The surplus was throwing me but like you said, it's just leftover ingredients you can use for later drinks.

Re: QUESTIONS

[sharknundo]

Yes!!

Re: QUESTIONS

[vexnotvax]

dumb question r us, but are we only getting ingredients by sharing truth/bonds/memories from teammates?

Re: QUESTIONS

[sharknundo]

Yep! Must bond with teammates only o>

Re: QUESTIONS

[messianic]

slides in here

FOR EMPATHY BOND THINGS, do the two characters empathy bonding get the one ingredient (tea) between them? And is the empathy bond a two way emotional share or just the one way from one of the characters?

Re: QUESTIONS

[sharknundo]

Tea I am being generous and saying that you can get 2 tea from tying an empathy bond because it is by default a two-way street emotionally (this also means you can get 2 flavoring ingredients total) which also answers your second question!!

Re: QUESTIONS

[messianic]

excellent THANK YOU!! ♥
