The "Diplomat Trailer" drinking game

The Diplomat Trailer

The beauty of this games comes in the form of versatility. It can be played anywhere that laptops exist and alcohol (or suitable beverages) can be enthusiastically consumed. If a non-alcoholic version is desired even a dorm lounge would be serviceable.

Supplies required
Mandatory:
Diplomat Trailer Video
Viewing Equipment
Seating/comfort/proper area
Beverages (bottled, canned, tapped etc.)
Recommended:
Cups, steins
Costumes

The rules are rather simple, yet depth is brought out in the potential level of customization and combination.

Before the trailer starts but after a brief stating of intent and any background info regarding the trailer is taken care of the attendees are given a list of the cast to choose from based on how much they want to drink, with characters that appear in more scenes generally requiring more beverage indulgence. HIGH=much drinking to be done and so on.

Cast:
Main Man: Gabe Winski--HIGH

Daughter: Kathrine Anderson--MODERATELY HIGH

"Kane" (lead Antagonist): Nolan Gauttier--MODERATE

Partner: Laura Labbe--MODERATE

Goon in bathroom: Ethan Rittershaus--LOW

Male Goon: Nolan Gauttier--MODERATELY HIGH

Female Goon: Laura Labbe--LOW

To further customize one's experience one can choose multiple characters or choosing the actor/actress instead. At the most basic level every time a character/s of a participants choice appears on screen a drink must be taken.

Universal Circumstances requiring a drink (invented rules are recommended):

1. At the 1, 2, and 2:35 (end) minute marks
2. When someone dies
3. When a gun is present
4. For every scene with a blatantly added effect/s
5. When you spot a hacksaw
6. During a closeup
7. When you recognize a dorm setting
8. When you spot the dalmatians painting about half-way through
9. A shift in musical score
10. The opening of a door (kicked or otherwise)
11. You note something of a badass nature
    

Example of further drink circumstances if the "Main Man" is chosen

1. When you can't see the main character's face (e.i. him running away, yelling in defeat etc.)
2. When the trench coat is replaced with a wifebeater
3. And then to a blue t-shirt
4. And then to a black jacket
5. And then back to a wifebeater
6. And finally to the trench coat with police vest
   
7. When coarse language is used
8. During a moment of emotional distress

Of course there are many options to consider but these are merely guidelines. To add further depth consider adding combos into the mix, for instance follow up one drink with a continuous chug for the duration of the scene involving the next circumstance. Or throw penalties into the mix. If you miss a cue, take a drink. If you mis-drink (take the wrong cue), take a drink. If someone else mis-drinks, join them for their penalty drink. The possibilities are vast.
