Oh, boy... I was just looking through my old mail when I found this...
this should be fun.
Here's a quick-and-dirty rating of my own Bubblegum Collapse.
Kids, don't try this at home.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~>
General:
If the Knight Sabres go on a mission: 1 drink
1
If the Knight Sabres are actually hired by somebody: 3 drinks
3 more.
If a Run-of-the-Mill C-class Boomer shows up: 0 drinks (you
can't get smashed yet ;)
... and gets trashed by the ADPolice: 8 drinks
I don't want anyone to hurt themselves, so I'll just not claim the ones
here. I think AD Police took out about 40 of them in that big fight at
AD Police HQ.
If a Sexaroid shows up: 2 drinks
Is that two for each one? Nahh... just 2, I guess.
... and is not killed by the end of the story: 5 drinks
If somebody goes through emotional torment: 1 drink
... and it's not Sylia or Priss: 5 drinks
bwahahaha... lessee... 1 for Sylia, 1 for Priss, 5 for Nene, 5 for
Linna, 5 for Christine (if she counts), and possibly 5 for Mackie.
that's 22 right there.
If Linna receives any measurable amount of characterisation
whatsoever: 5 drinks
I hope that I got this 5. Maybe not.
If one of the KS loses it/cracks up/goes off the deep end: 3
drinks
... if it isn't Priss: 6 drinks
3 for Priss, even if she did come back.
If a Knight Sabre gets killed: 2 drinks (per KS)
Ok, there's 12 more.
... and gets ressurected: 4 drinks
If Innocent Bystanders are killed: 2 drinks
*maniacal cackle* Good thing it's not 2 for each bystander.
... if the KS are directly responsible for it: 5 drinks
Make that 5, even.
... if more than 50 are killed: 4 drinks
... if more than 500 are killed: 6 drinks
... if more than 5000 are killed: 8 drinks
... if MegaTokyo gets destroyed: 10 drinks
I really think I deserve more than 10 for this.
If the ADPolice are depicted as anything more than Ineffective
Cannon Fodder: 8 drinks
Hmm... maybe.
If Genom get's a new CEO: 5 drinks
... and he/she was _not_ hand-picked by Quincy: 10 drinks
Nah.. happens in Collision, not Collapse.
If Genom is destroyed: 4 drinks
... _legally_: 6 drinks
... by the original KS (as opposed to any freaks that join
during the story): add 6 drinks
If sombody joins the KS: 3 drinks
3 for Mackie.
Well, that's it. 61 using the conservative rankings.
It could have been much, much worse. For example, I left out the AD
Police boomer-kills and the violations of the Code. (mainly because I
didn't feel like looking up the Code)
Anyway, that was fun.
