Losing
Once one has attained a set amount penance points (usually between 5 and 10) one has lost. The loser must perform an embarrassing action decided by the winners. However, this cannot involve unwilling third parties. For instance, a penance which involved a sexual encounter would require the consent of the others involved in the penance. However, most penance is generally mildly annoying rather than harsh (One famous penance is the losing player must eat their next meal(s) with only a spoon and no other utensils.) Another example of a punishment is being forced to say Babe after every sentence.

Famous quotes containing the word losing:
“Southerners can never resist a losing cause.”
—Margaret Mitchell (1900–1949)
“When you’re 50 you start thinking about things you haven’t thought about before. I used to think getting old was about vanity—but actually it’s about losing people you love. Getting wrinkles is trivial.”
—Joyce Carol Oates (b. 1938)
“Let a man learn to look for the permanent in the mutable and fleeting; let him learn to bear the disappearance of things he was wont to reverence; without losing his reverence; let him learn that he is here, not to work, but to be worked upon; and that, though abyss open under abyss, and opinion displace opinion, all are at last contained in the Eternal Cause.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
