The (Worryingly Official) Bubblegum Crossfire Drinking Game

You will need: One or more "episodes" of the Bubblegum Crossfire saga and drinks to choice. Soft drinks are recommended for some of the cheesier episodes (if any!)

Simple rules: When a listed event happens, take the number of drinks listed. You don’t necessarily have to memorise the entire table; when you think you should be drinking is an adequate guideline for when to drink. In general:
Sip (just a small mouthful) for a fairly common event,
Gulp (regular mouthful) for an uncommon to rare event, and
Chug (about two gulps) for an extremely rare event.
Sometimes you will be asked to take double or triple drinks; simply sip, gulp or chug that many times.

General Rules

• Sip if one of the Star Angels gets insulted. Double if its not by another member. Triple if it’s Adam not being called a gimp.
• Sip when a boomer appears for the first time (once per boomer). Double for one of the writer’s invention.
• Sip when a boomer gets totalled. Double if it gets back up again. Triple if not by the Star Angels.
• Sip if E-SWAT forces are deployed. Double if Shamus is with them. Triple if they do anything useful.
• Gulp if a motorslave gets trashed. Double if it’s a hardsuit.
• Gulp when some other mecha (not hardsuit, motorslave or boomer) shows up. Double If it’s not used by E-SWAT or Genom. Triple if it’s from the original show.
• Gulp if odd boomer functions (fusion, regeneration, etc.) come up.
• Gulp when someone important (ie: named) dies. Double if they’ve been in more two or more episodes.
• Gulp for cryptic comments. Double when you understand them later (last ep. will kill you if on the hard stuff)
• Gulp if anyone’s competence is questioned. Double if it’s E-SWAT in general (including E-SWAT characters). Triple if it’s Carlisle.
• Gulp for a gratuitous gag reference. Double if its from Artmic.
• Chug for an equipment upgrade, not including (hopefully infrequent) replacements.
• Chug if a boomer (important to the ep.) sees the episode out.
• Chug if a character from the original series shows up (not just mentioned).

Characters

• Sip if Freya uses a close combat weapon. Double if she could have done better with a gun. Triple if she actually uses a gun.
• Gulp if Shamus acts like a sleaze. Double if it pays off.
• Sip if Nicosia has a facial expression. Double for a good one. Triple if she means it.
• Gulp if Carlisle smiles. Double if she laughs. Triple if she has the hysterics.
• Gulp if Carlisle disapproves of something. Double if it’s not her team’s behaviour.
• Gulp if Adam’s cybernetic arm comes up. Double if he uses it’s fusion function.
• Sip if Carla acts like a moron. Double if she’s surprisingly smart. Triple if she does something actually useful.
• Gulp if Karrina gets some personality. Double if she's being nice.

Special Rules

• Drink as much as Shamus when he sets into the booze.
• When Nicosia starts drinking, bet on how many it'll take to get her drunk. Whoever gets it wrong Gulps.
• Nudge, wink and Gulp at any lewdy comments. Double if they’re not aimed at Carla.
• Gulp and cry out "Helllooo Nurse!" whenever you think a gratuitous nude shot is appropriate (suiting up, etc.). If in doubt, watch episodes 2, 3 and 8 of the original for reference.
• Last one to throw a sock at the screen when Daniel Heydt shows up Gulps.
