Beer pong - Sunday @ The Arc Pub

As it seems to have been quite a while since there has been any beer pong played at the Arc, I'd like to restart the tradition. How about around 9pm on Sunday??

Why? How about darts and he who loses buys the next round? Simplistic, but yet grownup.

Good idea eurovol, but i'm still keen on the idea of beer pong...and if i'm really lucky, we can even play flippy cup! Let us have our fun with our drinking games

I'm in.

Fuck darts, beer pong is a great game!

Oooh...drunken college nights coming back to me... ooog. I'm in!!!

I want to play!!

Although I want someone good on my team... hmmm.

I'll plan on being there, it'll be a sporty day: ultimate frisbee AND beer pong!

@TCH: Same for me of course.

I've picked up a six pack of balls, and the Arc tells me they have cups, so that should do it for the equipment. Apparently all of the balls used during the last set of games there met an unfortunate end later in the night

Hmmm, the things that might be done with ping pong balls...

Women...you just can't trust them with ping pong balls

So who's gonna be there tonight?

@Bubble Gum- I will definitely be there. Aly is coming too.

So I guess then at the very least we're around 6, but really that's enough

So did it happen and who won ?

It happened and my head hurts...

There are some pictures somewhere...
I was only there for the first 7 pitchers of beer or so...

The beer won.

It was great. Never have I seen such a diverse group of players! I had no idea beer pong had so many rules, but luckily we had our expert on hand...thanks for organizing weenskii

For me, the highlight was the flip cup at the end...not sure how many pitchers we'd had at that point, but it is quite possible that I am still drunk...

Well done everyone. I look forward to the next Beer Pong night!

Thanks for coming out eveyone, great time. As an aftereffect I think today is going to be nearly a total loss, but I would do it again.

@wahoo - are you going to post your pictures?

@TCH- Yep, definitely posting pics. All of the files are too large to upload... i'm working on it!

Sorry I couldn't make it, but hopefully next time!!

That's what you get for having a 7.2 megapixel camera

Shitty i couldnt be there to play and enjoy the fun but i had my own drinking games on in Berlin. Glad to hear you all enjoyed it and had the hangover headaches of a good night. Maybe ill make one another time. CHEERS

Now that my body has returned to a fully functional and coherent state from the night, I'd like to provide a brief recap for those who couldnt make it. I believe at the height of play we had enough for 3 on 3 or 4 on 4, which is more than enough. The Arc was on the empty side because of the holiday on monday, so space was not a problem at all. Later in the night, we got a few games of flipcup in, which is generally a better game to play if you want to more closely hold a large groups attention, because it can often get very competative and is built for groups greater than 6. I personally have no clue what time the games stopped, but I suspect it was after 4 or 5 (can anyone confirm?)

I'll also describe the set of rules we used for future reference [see also: Wikipedia]. We played with 6 cups on each side, with mostly teams of two on two, with no over the table ("airball") rule, no elbow rule or similar, no empty cup rule, reracking at 3 only and not between shots, bouncing is allowed (counts as two), doubling up in the same cup is 3 (in general the number in the backrow), tripling up in the same cup (if playing with 3 or more players per side) is every cup but one, and after the last cup is hit each player on the soon-to-be losing side shoots til they miss. If that team hits the remaining cups, than we go to a three cup playoff. This also means that cups that are hit remain on the table until each player on the shooting team gets a chance. Half way through play we added the balls back rule, meaning that if all players on a team hit then they get balls back and get to shoot again.

That's all I can think of for now.. but it's probably enough

Muchos gracias to HelterSkelter!!

We even had an Irishman playing!

Here are the boys cheating at beer pong...

Ahahahahaha. I bet she loves having this pic posted on the internetweb freeway of information.

And Hazza said the Arce does not serve umbrellas in cocktails...

Thanks for posting these

You're welcome and thanks for posting!

Good point Timmeh. This should make up for it...

wow, haven't had internet in so long, kinda wished it hadn't returned... beer pong and flip cup are taking a TO from my life for a few weeks...

@ the arc, the grey sweater in the first picture... I think it may be at the arc still... if so can you hold on to it, thanks
