You Decide!

Pekka · October 28, 2003, 16:18

OK, It's the ULTIMATE POWER challenge. Got you excited? Are you ready? Sissies, you can stop reading this!

YES, it's the REAL DEAL. You have to be of age to enter this contest. Next weekend, time later announced, I'll be challenging everyone on Poly to a drinking contest.

You don't have to drink to enter this contest though. You can try to drink me down and be the winner, or you can bet how much I'll be drinking. It will be beer (no light beer you pansies!), and it will be lot of it. You must bet before the contest starts and give your predictions, and it would be cool fi you want to enter, that we'd start about the same time, but since it's most likely impossible, we have to figure something out. WHO'S READY?!

Spec · October 28, 2003, 16:21

How can we be sure of how much poeple drink?

Spec.

SlowwHand · October 28, 2003, 16:23

Pekka, you're about to screw up royally.
I'll put you under the table, I guarantee.

Pekka · October 28, 2003, 16:23

Spec, that's the biggest problem. I guess we just have to trust each other .. Also, you can try to guess what is the total amount of alcohol consumed if there are more than me entering this contest.

What's up now biaaaaaaatch!

Pekka · October 28, 2003, 16:25

Sloww, that's very possible. But you know how it is.. there are no losers in this contest, unless you drop before 12 beers or something else that equals huge sissie. But I admit, my tolerance for alcohol is not high now, I haven't been drinking for a while. It's not about the winning, it's about participating.

Japher · October 28, 2003, 16:25

Great! I just post on a thread on sobriety and now a challenge! I probably couldn't take out sloww due to his years of tolerance building, but mine is great. I've taken down guys who say they are "heavy" drinkers, and who are twice my size!... But, I must resist.

Starchild · October 28, 2003, 16:28

Bah, beer fills you up too quickly. You waste precious drinking time having to vomit to make room. Come back when we're going round for round with shots.

Pekka · October 28, 2003, 16:28

Noooo Japher, don't dodge this one. So I guess if Sloww enters and shows up, he'll be one of the favourites, but Japher looks pretty good too! I'm myself kind of a mystery.. I have been known to pass out after 8 beers, and walk moderately straight after 24, so.. I'm not in condition for 24 I guess.. but you never know! So Japher, don't you be dodging this one!

I must have missed the sobrierity thread.

Pekka · October 28, 2003, 16:30

Starchild, Rules are not official yet. I can see your point. I just figure it ends pretty quickly if we start going toe to toe with shots.. plus everyone would have to have just about the same strength booze.. I guess I could put up a table that you can check out and figure out the alcohol value of what you're drinking... so then it doesn't matter what you drink.. but rules are still very much open.

I'm up for it. I'll be drinking anyway, so why not make it "social" for once. Nothing like getting sloppy drunk and posting on Apolyton.

Pekka · October 28, 2003, 16:42

Looking pretty good.. We should make the rules flexible, so that they won't limit people out too easily because they are from different time zone etc..

SlowwHand · October 28, 2003, 16:44

If y'all do this deed, I'll just watch.
As far as "Getting sloppy drunk and posting at Apolyton", David or TCO can give you pointers.

Oh yeah! RAH and Ming can provide good tips also.

chequita guevara · October 28, 2003, 16:46

I'm goin' drinkin' tonight, but I'll probably only have a pitcher myself, and maybe a few shots.

Pekka · October 28, 2003, 16:46

Sloww, feeling threatened.. feeling like stepping aside is a good choice? Thinking you can't walk in the middle of the road when there's a challenge up? Step aside if you feel you need the safety.. no ones blaming..

Az · October 28, 2003, 16:48

I have a webcam. I just don't know how can I stream it, or even should I.

Pekka · October 28, 2003, 16:52

Oh it would be so great if we all had webcams! Or even microphones..then all contestants could be speaking together and the rest could listen it... when the DRUNKATHON 2003 takes place! Bigger than summer olympics.

SlowwHand · October 28, 2003, 16:58

Pekka, I'm trying to cut you some slack, laddie.
Best take the opportunity.

I'm ok with that but...can we really trust Slow?

Spec

Pekka · October 28, 2003, 17:01

Excuses excuses...

VetLegion · October 28, 2003, 17:03

Another one of those great Pekka ideas

Anyway I am not applying because I think drinking on the forum would be the next crazy thing after uploading pictures of self. I like you guys, but I have to draw a line somwhere

And Pekka, what do you mean by one beer? 0.5 liter? How could someone possibly drink 24 of those?

laurentius · October 28, 2003, 17:04

You coud call to each other or have a video confrence somewhere...

Spec · October 28, 2003, 17:06

Size of the beer does not matter, percentage counts. Here the lightest beer we have is 5% alcohol...Strongest is 12%. Tell me what you guys have.

Spec.

Pekka · October 28, 2003, 17:08

Nooooooooo not 0.5 liter.. .0.33.. and had a good while drinking it. 0.5 is purely impossible for me, or I'll be in the hospital.

But we need a table so we know how much we are drinking in alcohol units, and .. let's make the schedule a bit lose, so you can enter later and finish later, but what matters is how much you can get down.. or? I don't know, suggestions are welcome. What about time limit? 10 hours? No time limit? How do you want to play this... I have to start this game on Friday, about... 9-10 GMT, so I guess US players will enter later, but most likely there is a point where we are all here at the same time. Or how do you want to go with this? I'd hate to wake up 4 am just to start competing in DRUNKATHON 2003.. suggestions?

Pekka · October 28, 2003, 17:09

laurentius, help me out, is 5% what Spec is talking about the same as ours?

chequita guevara · October 28, 2003, 17:11

Anyone who thinks Pekka's an alcoholic, raise your hands!

Pekka · October 28, 2003, 17:14

che, you're so far from the truth! I haven't drink a single beer in.. what month?

Anyway, I think we need some Russians too. How about it che? No wait, you weren't really Russian? But we need some Russians too, the vodka men. If Stuie is really Aussie, then that's great.. Someone from US we should get.. No wait Stuie is not Australian.
I think we need Australian representor, maybe Asian representor as well? Have a real WC games going on. Any Irish? I'm thinking big, 10 years from this day.. this will be a huge event.

I don't even pretend to be Russian.

laurentius · October 28, 2003, 17:18

yeah P its the same

Pekka · October 28, 2003, 17:20

laurentiues, thanks.. that's what I thought. Damn 12% beer? I don't have that strong.. but maybe I'll go with booze and beer, mix it up a little.. stupid idea, but then again he who dares, wins!

laurentius · October 28, 2003, 17:21

The Strongest can buy here is Aventinus and Kasteel, around ~11%
Kasteel is very very yummy, havent tasted Aventinus yet but they say its great too.

I've only once drink 12% beer, that was in Tallinn and the name of the beer was Frederik

My god that was awful. Hyi Helvetti as we say in finland
