I never . . .

[Amelia G]

Has everyone here every played I Never? Have you played the drinking or non-drinking version? Got any tasty confessions?

[Bondage Clown]

Huh?

[keiko]

i always lose this game. esp when it comes to sex questions. It's like playing with Glenn Quagmire.

[Amaltheas_Attic]

It's it like psychiatrist?

[keiko]

I'll say something like

"I've never eaten gator tail" and if you have eaten gator tail you have to drink.

[Buster Friendly]

well, i've eaten alligator...

...how do we play the non-drinking version?

[keiko]

I dunno. I don't drink anymore. maybe we could play the version where you eat lemon slices or hot peppers insted of drinking.

[Buster Friendly]

just so long as i get to brush my teeth now, and again, i can eat lemon slices all day long... (lemon water is one of the best things you can drink... i used to drink like a gallon of it a day...)

The non-drinking version, as I recall, is that you all just say the most appalling stuff you've ever done until you are scared to hang out with each other any more. I forget whether turns are based on who else did the thing too or who did not do it, but I recall having a lot of fun playing it. (Sad when the details of the NON-drinking version are fuzzy, but I'm sleepy.) There is also a version which is sort of a hybrid with truth or dare i.e. the people who have not done the thing (or who have, I forget) have to do a dare or answer an impertinent question.

Here is an example of non-drinking standard I Never:

Person A: I've never threatened to shoot someone I was dating with his own gun while he was sleeping.

Person B: I've never fucked your boyfriend while you were at a funeral.

Person C: I think my ride is here.

[Buster Friendly]

sounds "fun"

only trouble is i really haven't done anything too appalling.

[Velvet-Tongue]

Sounds frightening actually

[Wickedanima]

I've never cheated on any of my boyfriends....

[Trotter]

You can also use your hands. Everytime you've done what the person says they have never done, you put a finger down and the first person to "lose" all their fingers loses, or wins depending on your view point.

I've usually played with people who say something along the lines of, "I never stole the flag from a fraternity and hid out at Amelia's place for a week to avoid being badly beaten" . . . and then they have to drink for saying it. This may be technically not how the game is supposed to be played, but it is funny.

[Morning Glory]

the way I always played it was not to say the messed up stuff you did, but to say the messed up stuff you know that other people did forcing them to reveal it to everyone else. basically the goal of the game is to leave your freinds without a shred of dignity. something along the lines of "I never let my girlfreind have a go at me with a strap on." and your bud says "damn you!" and takes a drink.

Aww i hate this game!, i always end up to grogy to remember any of the good stuff that people say, and the non- drinking game is also bad, cause i always end up getting so waterlogged i need to pee real bad! however it is way better than some of the drinking games ive played (the matrix drinking game sux)
