Drinking Game / Enter the Arena... As Your Avatar!

Welcome, Tropers to the Drinking Game for the Avatar Arena!

Note: Archive Bingeing more than, say, a hundred pages at a time is not advised; in fact, maybe fifty is better; I dunno. EDIT: Don't archive binge in large sessions. That's a surefire way of getting alcohol poisoning if you're using something stronger than beer.

• Whenever a character says "this world/dimension/whatever appears to be some sort of arena," take a drink.
  • Whenever a character then says, "well, then, we might as well fight each other," take a drink.
• Whenever a character mentions or notices that people come back to life in the Arena, take a sip.
