Talk:Get Real

Just wondering - does this only occur if you are a teetotaler? I just received this encounter as a Teetotaler and thought it was one of the funniest things I'd ever seen in KOL. Anyone get this who is able to drink?

thanks

All right, so it (and presumably the other stat-gain adventures) occurs under Hardcore Teetotaler and Oxygenarian ascensions... have any non-pathed or Boozetafarian players gotten these adventures as well? The adventure for "Creole Lady" marrrmalade is obviously Oxy-only, but the way the stat-gain adventures are written make it seem only Teetotalers can encounter them...
...or mayhaps the choice of booze served at Barrrney's isn't what adventuring Loathers can hold down? Strange that a Barrr would have *no* adventures that increase Drunkeness, as opposed to the Typical Tavern.... --Mike Antleg 19:32, 9 December 2007 (CST)

• But there are adventures that raise drunkenness in the Barrr. There is the darts challange and there is the drinking contest. --Chunky_boo 19:52, 9 December 2007 (CST)

From what I've been able to piece together, A Test of Testarrrsterone, That Explains All The Eyepatches, and Yes, You're a Rock Starrr only occur for non-pathed and Boozetafarians.
Since those three adventures can increase Drunkeness, Teetotalers and Oxygenarians get The Right to Bear Arrrrms, Abstinence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder, and Get Real instead (with the latter also getting the semi-rare(?) Voulez-vous manger avec moi?.
Yes, this doesn't account for the Insult Beer Pong match with Old Don Rickets, but who can claim that wasn't non-alcoholic beer they were using? Mayhaps Rickets and the Cap'm don't rank amongst the harrrdcore of the Cove.... --Mike Antleg 11:18, 11 December 2007 (CST)

Possible ref

There's an illustration in one of the AD&D 1st ed. books which uses pretty much the same joke: an adventuring party playing an office RPG. --Starwed 14:23, 2 January 2008 (CST)
