----------------------------------------------------------------- ANOTHER X-FILES DRINKING/EATING GAME: ----------------------------------------------------------------- by Jenn P.(gwen71@delphi.com) This humble endeavor is my attempt to combine the numerous additions to Phil Lee's X-Files Drinking Game, as well as Eli Lehrer's version. It also takes into account the alternate DDEB rules, which substitute Hershey's Kisses for shots (if you so choose). I'll also post this on ftp.cs.nmt.edu and on pc19101.pc.cc.cmu.edu; additions, etc., are welcome and encouraged. Characters are used without permission, yatta, yatta, yatta, so here goes... What you'll need: --- A working VCR with your personal X-Files tape(s) --- A mass quantity of alcoholic beverages OR chocolate --- A group of X-Philes to play with The catagories are: --- Quotes --- Events --- Pick A Character...
