Rules
The original poster posts a completely normal opening post set within the Althanas canon.
All participants take a shot of vodka if:
1. A place within the Althanas canon is mentioned in the OP's post
2. A skill or ability is used within the post
3. The word "power" is used.
4. A spelling or grammatical mistake is spotted
After checking for the above, the next poster posts and the process is repeated until a really awesome open thread develops
Can't see where this can possibly go wrong.
Gonna sit this one out. I'm REALLY GOOD at spotting grammatical errors.

Come on. Be a lady.
Come on. Be a lady.
Ladies don't take part in drinking contests. I am being a lady.

Drinking contest? This is more of a drinking collaboration!

Yeah Gnarl, but imagine the quality of the plot!
I'd send it for full rubric too.

In fact, we should get three or four people on video conference, all attending to this thread at the same time so we can all watch each other get smashed and laugh our way into the night.

I like the idea and don't appreciate Michelle / Andy not adding to ways to self-medicate.
5. Any time blood is described based on it's color or taste, it's a drink. Double down if copper is referenced in the description.

Can I just be there for the conference call not the actual thread. xD I just wanna see all you drunk lovely people, since I would probably do all those things and be the first drunk person.
Plus I just need some humor in my life!
6.) Shotgun a beer for every character dressed in black. Follow it with a shot if they're described in a poorly lit tavern corner.

7. Drink the entire bottle if a character is a half-angel, half-demon, morally-gray Mary Sue with a tragic past where one or both parents died.

I can see the makings of greatness in this thread.
The only problem is explaining this to the wife.
"You out drinking tonight honey?"
"Erm, sort of. Not really 'out', per se, but definitely drinking."
"Oh?"
"Err...well you see, I started this thread on Althanas and now I have to go get very drunk, but over Skype."
"..."
For Shin to his wife.
"There's this blind friend I know on the internet, he can't drink you see, because of some medication he's on, but he wants to understand the experience, and so we are helping him."

"I also know this single mom that just needs a good laugh so with that being said I am taking one for the team. Spreading joy around Christmas time is a must!"

I'd absolutely be game for this with a set of reasonable rules :p Can't video conference, though.
I think the rules would have to be a bit trickier, though. If I've had enough shots it's easy enough to avoid saying "power". I don't have any ideas though, hmm.
I think if not video chat, everyone participating would have to be in the Althanas chat.
Maybe we have to write our posts with our eyes closed? Or something.

Really, I just want to get drunk with you all.
It's been far too long since we all counted our nipple hairs in a Skype video chat.

This post caught my attention the most for all the right reasons.
You're one of the cool kids.

Did Rosie just invent a nipple-hair emoji? I'm pretty sure she did and I'm not sure how I feel about it.

Probably the same way you felt about Merry Christmas, Friend on the first readthrough. A mixed range of emotions.

Hah!
