Ok I thought of a few.
1) Every time you heard Morden say 'What do you want?' you yell "MORE
BEER", and skull a stubbie
* Spot Na'toth in Series two - drink whole beverage.
* Keffer does something space-jock-like - one sip.
* You see Kosh outside his encounter suit - open a new bottle and quaff
till you're legless...

Wow, you must be a newbie to this drinking game business - the object is to
get *pissed*. You'll never get anywhere with rules like that! :)
How about: A scull every time Kosh says something enigmatic
A whole beverage if what he says actually makes sense to you
(heck, if you use this rule you're pretty pissed anyway)
Two sips whenever Morden asks 'what do you want'
One sip for every in-reference to other famous SF/F
A scull every time they use the defense grid
Two sips if they use a flashback
One sip when the title of the story is used in dialogue
One sip when a Centauri talks about the old days
One sip when a Minbari talks about honour/religion
One sip when a Narn talks about oppression/freedom
One sip when someone expresses ill sentiment about psi-corps
One sip when you spot a Ranger
One sip for every Nightwatch armband
"He said, go ... take my drinking game back ... to the stars."
...
"Londo ... what did he *really* say?"
"He said ... that we are both pissed."

1. Take a sip every time Kosh says something enigmatic.
It's not that bad, he doesn't turn up all that often.

Well, as a first one, how about:
Skull every time-
Every time Ivonava refers to her self in the third person.
Every time that KOSH says ANYTHING.

OK, how about a game to play away from the TV. You'd have to get into the
battle cries and so on to maintain atmosphere, but I'm sure it possible ...
Starfuries vs. Centauri cruiser.
This one would probably be best played outside, say with 4 Starfury players
and 1 Centauri player. The starfury players are provided with 4 cans of beer
each, the Centauri with ten.
Each Star Fury player shakes one of their cans of beer, and the Centauri
shakes four of their ten. The Centauri player mixes around each 'Furies
can set, and one of the furies mixes around the Centauri set. So no
one knows which can is the "loaded" one.
The game starts. The first 'Fury attacks, choosing one of their cans and
getting close enough to spray the Centauri. The Centauri grabs a can and
tries to spray the attacking player. If the attacking player is sprayed,
then that player is out. Otherwise, they can attempt to use their can
on the Cenaturi.
If nothing happens, each player drinks their can, and replaces one into
their armoury. The next 'fury attacks. If either player is sprayed,
they are out. If its the Cenaturi, the Centauri have lost. If its a
fury, the other furies can then attack. Once all furies are defeated,
the Centauri has won.
It might be useful to change the can numbers and the odds.
A variant could be 'furies vs. Shadows. As before, except the shadow
player has 20 cans and shakes 19 (some would say they should shake all
20, but I'm sporting.)

And of course:

+ Two mouthsful if you then see that soliloquy in someone else's .sig

Every time you spot a ranger take a sip, if you can prove it to other
people that it was a ranger, they must take 2 sips.

Not bad, William. Has anyone else tried a search on the net for various
other versions of said drinking game?
>> Hmmm, what can get us all pissed quickly?
Inject alcohol into your heart. Well, it worked with the adrenaline in
Universal Soldiers...

You're on. At your place, eh? That's just a quick stagger from my place.
I didn't go looking, but was given a hard-copy of a ST drinking game.
Abso-fraggin'hilarious. We'd be comatose in 10 minutes. I can locate the
URL for you though if you want it.
kristi
Ok, here is some more ideas.
BONUS DRINKS
1) If the episode you are watching is an arc story, take a sip
(This is because you are stupid enough to play this while watching
an arc story)
2) If you are about to watch a second episode while playing, take 1 sip
3a) If you are about to watch a third episode while playing, take 2 sips
b) If all 3 have been arc stories, then take another 3 sips
other ideas
1) Every time they mention C&C take a sip
2) Every time a different colour sector on B5 is mentioned take a sip
3) Every time Sector 14 is mention have 2 sips
Ok, I think thats about all I can think of at the moment.

One <ahem> associate of mine was a great advocate (no, not a small, dark
green tropical fruit used to indicate that the reader has not done his/her
Law studies homework [UCC ref!]) of the idea of using an atomiser, scotch
and the nose, as in S|A>N (c.f. C|N>K in a.s.r).
Good for an almost instant state of absolute pissedness, that lasts about
10 minutes - or so he claimed. Any Med types out there?

I think I have that one, thanks anyway kristi. But I'm sure that there
are just heaps of people (well, at least two) who are reading this and who
would want that URL. So why don't you just go and give it to us all... er
I mean that in the most innocent way, of course.

I shall once I find the print-out at home - the URL would be at the top
of the pages. Hopefully shall remember and pass it on on Monday.
