Beer Pong - Fridays @ The Arc Pub

I have now discovered the joys (and benifits ) of beer pong at the arc (thanks to katie)
Is anyone up for going to the arc this friday night and playing some games...maybe 8ish???

What is this? I can imagine 3 things:

A. A different name for the video game they have at The Arc of which I am no master but at least I'm better than Bob and Eric the Hamster.

B. PONG, the original video game which I would so love to play to relive my childhood.

C. A name for drinking warm beer, the smell it gets when it gets a bit "pongy".

Or am I totally off-base? Please let me know.

U ahve two teams each with cups full of beer. You take turns throwing the ball into the beer if you make it... the other team must chug that beer... lat one standing wins! Its a game for which makes for a long night and one you dont want to play on a weekday unless u dont have work the next morning

And I was told BMT was bad...

Sounds fun, although I usually enjoy more cerebral drinking games more.

Im all up for a nice game of circle of death if ya wanna join me

Isn't it GNO this Friday?!

No... read the post love its on the 10th! so... does that mean u'll come to?

I believe it's Thursday this time.

Beer Pong. I had the pleasure of taking part in the inaugral game a few weeks back. Quite good fun but too much ball throwing and not enough beer drinking to make it a classic drinking game.

Now. Drink while you think... That's a drinking game...

whats the fun in the crawlie...i feel bad enough on quiz nigght when i can only answer 1/3 of the questions

Thursday? Oh. That's the German Stammtisch thingy. Have already promised my services..

Now call me an old-fashioned, old fart called Roger if you must, but I thought the idea of drinking games was to get drunk as quickly as possible and then start singing about four and twenty virgins who came down from Inverness or something...

I love drinking games cause I like to "pretend" to drink bunches and watch everyone else who is shitfaced make arses of themselves!

now wheres the fun in that?

Totally agree. It is like going to McDonalds and ordering a salad

I'll probably be there because the ACC tournament (college basketball) is on live that night. And after how long we spent last night talking about it I feel obligated to play. Hopefully I'll shoot a little better then I did last Sat. night!

I'm having a bit of a lunchtime practice at this. Reckon come the "longest day" i will be able to smote down the other 5nation entrants with only a handful of mats. there is a technique to it like in darts, a flick of the wrist and i can hit the tv from the other end of the room even now. think how good i will be come 19th march!!!

good example!!!

yeah i will pencil friday in but i may have already made plans am very forgetful.

beer pong lives at the arc now, so you can stop by any time for a game. once we've all played a bit, and our aim improves, i think we'll manage to get plenty drunk. and the winner stays on the table, and more games of course means more beer...

so now it's friday?
Am still trying to cajole colleague into Cebit train, either way will come (just maybe very late)

Ugh! I'm in Garmisch with my family Friday night!! Any chance this will happen again like a day or two later?? Or like every day between Saturday night and Tuesday night?

for you..im sure we can come up with something!!!

@BSF, I'll be there a ton of the next month watching March Madness games...I can always be suckered in a game of beer pong.

Excellent! I actually played against my sister last night (she's goes to UConn and is in full practice) and I was able to beat her. I was sooo proud of myself. Maybe I'm getting my shot back? heh, probably not...

I suck at this game and it doesnt help that when i lose i get even drunker.. man ill never win

has been a while since uni ended...

what other good drinking games are doing the rounds?

anyone any good at playing 21s? actually, i take that back - anyone not very good at playing 21s? as if you were good, it kind of defeats the object as you wouldn't get drunk! funny game!
quite fancy this whole beer pong thing but won't be in munich on friday

I used to play a drinking game called "Three Man" when being student (ages ago).

All you need is two dices, a funny hat, a group of at least five people - with less the game won't last longer than 30 minutes - and loads of drinks.

Everyone sits in a circle. The first order of business is to determine the Three Man. This is done by each player rolling a dice in turn. The first to roll a three becomes the Three Man - he's wearing the hat and has to drink any time there is three on the dices. The dices now go around, everybody's throwing both dices.

The basic rules for this game are:
- 1:2 on dices - Three Man drinks (sum to 3)
- 1:3 on dices - Three Man drinks (three on dice)
- Whenever there is a sum of seven on the dices, the player to left of roller drinks
- Whenever there is a sum of eleven on the dices, the player to right of roller drinks
- Whenever the three man throws a three himself, he may pass on the three man hat to somebody else (but he doesn't have to if he's still thirsty )
- Whenever there is doubles on the dices, the roller may either give the three man hat to somebody else, or create a new rule, or cancel an existing rule.

The possibility to create rules is the actual fun part of this game. There's no limit in phantasy - new rules can be anything, e.g. "whenever somebody throws a nine, everybody wearing white underwear has to drink", or even something not related to drinking, e.g. "whenever there's a four, Onni has to do 15 sit-ups".

thats too much for me to remember thats why i like beer pong all's ya have to do it throw a ball... so now who all coming?

Are you going to have set teams, a league or play off or winner stays on. Are you having more than one match at once etc. Is there a prize(besides getting the other team drunk ) and fee to play ... or is this just an informal night out where some people can play beer pong?

Never played the game but maybe you could start adding some rules to make things more interesting e,g left handed throwing, miss the table drink 2 fingers of your beer, catch the beer pong ball of the opponent after it bounces and they have to drink 2 fingers...

I will not get home until late on friday so duobt i will make it but i hear the game is now an arc resident like darts etc and can be played at any time so i'm sure i'll have the beer pong experience at some point

There are a set of rules that Katie wrote up with a little help from us.

A game is €8 which is the cost of a pitcher of beer. It can be played anytime at the Arc.

Friday wasn't going to be anything formal just playing. I'm actually not sure whether I'll be there now.

Another drinking game for you all... I forget the name tho'

Take a deck of cards.
1. Split out the Aces of each suit, and lay in a row on the table.
2. Next to each Ace, place a drink of your choice... Usually we mix them up a little bit... eg ; 1 small beer, 1 Vodka Shot, 1 Water and 1 glass of wine.
3. Then take it in turns to take a card from the remaining deck of cards.
4. Depending on the suit of the card you take, you have to drink the drink that is next to the corresponding ace.

A few of us will be going to the arc early for dinner and pre-drinking drinks so if anyone wants to join us, yuour more than welocme..i shoudl be there around 6:30-7

Might show up, a bit late in the evening though
We should play asshole!

thats a fine game too!!!

Only drinking game I kinda remember

Anyone up for a game tonight? Parents are heading to the airport, so I'm looking for a light drinking night before skiing tomorrow!

I canty beleive I am saying this but I'm all beered out is that even possible... i think i will be staying in until friday

Whimp!

my wallet and head will thanks me

Beer Pong!? I think I saw this on the list for the next up coming Olympic Games. I think I might just come for a lesson...educational purposes and all.

winegirl and i will be at the arc this friday night for a game...your more than welcome to join us!

I'll mostly be watching college hoops, but a game on the side sounds good.

Sorry to burst the bubble but Beer Pong has to be the worst drinking game ever!! its far too slow...we gotta think on a game that actully gets you drunk!!
How about something like tequila pong...now that would get us pissed!!

@scotsman...well if u could throw then it just might be a better game... dont be negative just because u sucked at it

Well maybe if i didn't have such a shit teammate
Be honest...you drink no more than a pint of beer ( if that!) and it takes between 30-45 mins for a game.
Thats just not enough alcohol to constitute a drinkin game.
@plane girl...you know you couldn't keep up with the big boys...thats why you don't wanna play a REAL drinkin game!!

I feel a challange coming on

Bring it on donkey kong!!

All right "Big Boz" u name it

Tequila pong!! same idea as beer bong except you could actually get pissed playin it!!
