Author's notes (Why not put them up here for once?): I wrote this for a laugh, mocking all the frequent, humorous occurences in FMA. The object of the game, as in any decent drinking game, is to provide a way to have fun whilst drinking. All you need is FMA, a lot of alcohol, or some sort of sugary food if you're too young to drink alcohol (if you can't get drunk, get high on sugar instead), and a bunch of friends (not strictly needed, but they make it much more fun). I kind of thought it was funny, but nothing special. . . so I buried it in some dusty corner of my RAM for a while. Then, a while later, I realised that I was almost up to 20 fanfics. "Hot damn. . . I ought to do something to celebrate" (last time it was the grand opening of commissions, which was just spectacular. . . -sarcasm-) Then I remembered this, and thought "Well . . . maybe someone else will find it funny."
It's constantly being updated, though, so I may well think of more ideas after I post this. These, along with any ideas suggested by REVIEWERS -hint hint- may end up being posted in an extra chapter. . . or not. . . depends on how many there are.
