Whales Tales Drinking Game

what are you drinking: nothing
Well this game is actually hard to understand via instructions, but once you get playing is amazingly easy to learn, yet impossible to master.
The game should be at least 5 people in size, and never more than 10 (it gets too hard).
Everyone sits in a circle, drink at the ready, and a prince is chosen. For our game, we will say there are six people.
The "prince" is the person who leads off the first time. What he/she will do is pick up their drink, tap it to the table, take a drink, and while holding the drink aloft, start with this:
"Whales tales, prince of whales, tails to the right on [insert number <= number of players] say who?"
So assuming it was said "Whales tales, prince of whales, tails to the right on three say who?", you would count three people to the right, and they are on the spot.
The correct response for the person would be "Nay, [insert number <= number of players] who?" At which time you count that many players to to the right, and that person is now on the spot.
If someone doesn't realize that they were the one called on (they weren't paying attention, didn't count right, etc) they have to drink the number that was called to reach them, tap the drink to the table, take an additional drink, and start, "whales tails.." etc, as they are the new prince.
If you miscount and speak out of turn, you are the new prince.
If you say more players than exist, you drink for being stupid, and start again.
And if you (again assuming there are six) say six, you have chosen yourself and therefore must (timely) respond with "Nay [n] who?"
Finally, whales don't have fingers, so you must use your flippers (elbows) to point at people, if you point with fingers/hand/genitals, you drink.
Add'tl rules:
"Golden Chair": If this rule is in effect, when someone leaves the table (more beer, peeing) they may call "golden chair" that means that whoever calls on that chair, has to then respond as though they were in the chair. So if there are six people, the golden chair is two to your right, you could in effect, say "nay six who (back to you), nay two who (golden chair) nay six who (golden chair) nay four who (you) nay two who (golden chair) as long as you can keep saying it reasonably, before picking someone. If you can master using a golden chair, it is hella easy to trip up other players. Of course, if you do the math improperly and speak out of turn as a result of your rant, you drink and start again. (We often add penalties to players who do long stretches before finally fucking up).
While its generally a good idea to limit the game to one golden chair, for added challenge add as many as you want.
"Target": If using this rule, any one who screws up twice in a row becomes the "target" (generally some flippers in their direction with chanting of "target!" to let them know..) It is now everyones duty to try and trip them a third time. If they are hit a third time while they are the target, they must stand, with a full drink (usually beer) while the following is sung/chanted:
"Heres to brother/sister [Name], brother/sister [Name],brother/sister [Name], heres to brother/sister [Name], who's with us tonight. He/She eats it and beats, oh how he/she mistreats it, (chant/yelled) so chug motherfucker chug mother fucker chug!" At which point the target has to chug the remainder (or predetermined amount) of their drink.
