Eloquent Drunk Guide:
Sitting at the counter one fine night you find a (handsome gentleman/beautiful lady) that catches your eye. Taking down the rest of whatever it was that you ordered and come to the only conclusion your drunken mind can make. Poetry
Quick Overview of These Rules Things:
1. Drink something
2. Write something
Drink Something: This is vital.
The IP intake not only determines a part of your points, it also determines how bad off your poetry comes across.
The more IP points you take in, the better your score. The formula for point count is as follows:
IP - drunken words = total score
But by the same token the more IP you take in, the more words you are bound to screw up. There is a general List of Words You Will No Doubt Say Wrong If You’re Drunk and every IP point means another number on the list to watch out for. Whether that item is in your poem is by your writing choice.
This List is not and will not be public. Otherwise you’ll know what to avoid. And that’s no fun.
Write Something:
Really, don’t go crazy. One stanza. ONE! That is 3-7 lines long. Rhyming is not necessary and neither is a fixed form. Haiku is welcome however
Before you hop off to write something, first you need to wait to see who your NPC is. People come from all fandoms and places around the world to this tavern and you need to know your audience. See the Regulars list in the Ledger Book.
After you know who you’re writing for, write on!
Then, watch for how your poem comes out and your audience’s response!
How to Post:
1. List what you’re ordering and the IP content of each
2. Add your total IP (i WiLL CHECK!!)
