The Google update drinking game

To help the webmasters get through the angst

[jrobbio]

I kept reading mentions of drinking in the pre-update threads and so I thought maybe a new(ish) game should be created involving the update.

Requirements:
Computer with Internet connection
Beer, wine or liquor of choice
Lots of water or other nullifying liquid
Munchies
Some friends
Regular refresh of the Webmaster World google news section.

Rules:
Find an incorrect Google update thread = 2 fingers drink
Appearance of official Google update thread = down drink
For every 100 posts in Google update thread = down drink
Appearance of "serious" update thread = 3 fingers drink
Mention of link:www.yahoo.com = 1 sip of drink
Complaint of spam = 1 sip of water
"My site has disappeared" = 1 sip of water
"My site has been banned" = 1 sip of water
Your site is #1 for your most competitive keyword = Open champagne

Enjoy
Rob

Any suggested additions to the game I'll add to the first post.

Not to rain on your little game, but I take my drinking seriously.

Alcoholism is a serious disease, and repeated drinking of hard liquour will get you into a maintenance drinking habit real fast, as well as destroy your liver.

It may seem funny now but wait until you're 55 and you need a liver transplant. Asians are more susceptible to liver disease than others, but it can happen to everyone.

I know your post is only a Foo thing and you're only having fun, but I still have to say that nothing is more annoying than a child playing with their food, except an adult who is playing games with their drinks.

I already had my liver replaced...Dr. told me I'm good for another 20 years...minimum.

Being a SEO/webmaster is a very stressful job. As with any Job that has a high value of stress involved Alcohol can be a problem. It can also be extremely helpful. Everything can be abused. If you a SEO are you spammer? If you drink are you on alcoholic? No lets hope we are all responsible adult's.

Now saying that someone want to pass me another beer? this stress is killing me.

You forgot to mention 1 downed drink for every post GoogleGuy makes :)

Can we come up with a smoking game?

Perhaps a more helpful idea would be: The Google Yoga update procedure.

Personally I like watching children play games with their food. Seems to me they enjoy it more that way.

As Frank Sinatra said " I feel sorry for people who don't drink. 'When they wake up in the morning, thats as good as they're gonna feel all day"

Can we play with pills too?
