	Yup

If the story resolves *all* the relationships, 4 drinks
	The original Love Polygons have been shattered by atrition, but
Chris is already staring up a least _a_ new one.

If someone's kid(s) show up, 2 drinks
..without time travel being involved, 3 drinks
	Times 2 (wonder when Gennousuke and Ryoko'll butt heads)

If they are Ranma's and Akane isn't the mother, 3 drinks
	Yup (Ukyo Worshippers feel free to celebrate)

If somebody masters a new special technique/chi-attack: 2 drinks
	Times 3 (after 900 years one tends to bick up a few tricks ^_^)

.. If the character is someone other than Ranma, Ryouga, or the
   Author: 3 drinks
	Yup

1 drink for each appearance of the following people:
Gosunkugi
Konatsu
Akari

If something happens that Rumiko Takahashi would choke on
    her sake to see, 2 drinks
	When has this _not_ happened?

DARKFICS/SADFICS:

If someone dies, 1 drink
	Nobody get's nailed during the story itself that wasn't already
dead, but at least 4 of Team Ranma suffered violent death during the 21st
century

If Ukyou kills herself, 6 drinks and send Sean a nasty note
	Tempted to count this (challenging _Cologne_ of all people!?!?!),
but she obviously though she could win.

If Ranma or Akane dies, 3 drinks
	Yup *sniff*

If Happosai dies, 5 drinks and send the author a check
	We should be so lucky

If Ryouga or Ukyou go through emotional torture, 1 drink
	Did He (Hibiki) Ever.

Ranma and Akane, 2 drinks
	Same for Saotome.

Anyone else, 3 drinks
	'Poo had them both beat by a mile.

CROSSOVERS (does not include cameos):

with Sailor Moon, 1 drink

Any other anime series, 2 drinks
	Times 3

If a character from the other series gets into a relationship
    with a Ranma cast member, 2 drinks
..if it's still going at the end of the story, 4 drinks
	Yup (I'll hold off on doubling it... for now)

..if it's not Ryouga or Ukyou, 4 drinks
	Well a certain widower might find Love of His Life number three
according to the epilogue.... ^_-


If it's one of the best fanfics you've ever read, chug
	Yup <standing ovation>

Hell, just chug at the end for the hell of it.  You're plastered
    by now anyway...
	Si, verdad *hic*.

	RFFDG Total: 52 drinks and 2 chugs
