	<div class="answer">A lot of people are introduced to BerryTube via the weekly drinking games, so this question only makes sense in that context.</div><div class="answer">Episodes are generally in the 20-50 drink range, so they should be played with sips of alcohol. Make sure to start small, especially if you're an unexperienced drinker. If at any point you feel sick or too intoxicated, feel free to stop playing, or continue playing with water instead of alcohol. The drinking game really isn't a competitive thing - you don't win anything by holding out or lose anything by going to sleep early, and you won't gain or lose respect from anyone by choosing either one.

	== How do I use emotes on BerryTube? ==		== How do I use emotes on BerryTube? ==
	<div class="answer">Due to BetterPonyMotes not entirely suiting our needs, Marminator (one of our mods) has developed his own script called Berrymotes. To enable Berrymotes, open up the Settings menu (the wrench icon at the top of chat) and click on "Manage 3rd-party plugins". From there, you simply need to check off the box labeled Berrymotes and it should load onto the page. Berrymotes draws from a larger list of subreddits than BPM, updates with new emotes every day, and can be run side-by-side with BPM without conflict.</div><div class="answer">BerryTube supports a shortcut for emotes: \\. If you type "\\sbstare" into chat, for example, it will be automatically converted into the standard Reddit emote syntax of "[](/sbstare)". If you're using Berrymotes, you'll be able to take additional advantage of this shortcut, as the script supports tab completion of emotes when using the \\ syntax. For example, if you type "\\sbst" and then hit tab, it will automatically complete it to "\\sbstare" for you. Like username completion, this will also allow you to cycle through all possible completions if the text you've typed if more than one are possible. <br/></div>		<div class="answer">Due to BetterPonyMotes not entirely suiting our needs, Marminator (one of our mods) has developed his own script called Berrymotes.

	== Should I really be taking this many drinks? ==		== Should I really be taking this many drinks? ==
	<div class="answer">A lot of people are introduced to BerryTube via the weekly drinking games, so this question only makes sense in that context.</div><div class="answer">Episodes are generally in the 20-50 drink range, so they should be played with sips of alcohol. Make sure to start small, especially if you're an unexperienced drinker. If at any point you feel sick or too intoxicated, feel free to stop playing, or continue playing with water instead of alcohol. The drinking game really isn't a competitive thing - you don't win anything by holding out or lose anything by going to sleep early, and you won't gain or lose respect from anyone by choosing either one. The goal of our games is to enjoy ponies, friends, and booze, not to drink yourself to the point of vomiting.<br/></div>~~<div class="answer"><br/></div>~~		<div class="answer">A lot of people are introduced to BerryTube via the weekly drinking games, so this question only makes sense in that context.</div><div class="answer">Episodes are generally in the 20-50 drink range, so they should be played with sips of alcohol.

	== Why is that chat message highlighted in yellow? ==		== Why is that chat message highlighted in yellow? ==
	<div class="answer">If you see a message highlighted in yellow, it means someone included your username in the message. The highlight is a way to help you see when someone wants your attention. Also, if you're on another tab of your browser or another window entirely when someone highlights you, a <span class="squee">squee sound</span> will play to notify you that someone wants your attention. Thus, highlighting someone is commonly referred to as "squeeing" and is best done in moderation.</div><div class="answer">If you want to squee someone but don't want to type out their entire username or risk typos, BerryTube chat has a nickname tab completion. If you start typing a user's name and then hit tab, it will complete it with the first of all possible completions for the characters you've typed so far. Continuing to hit tab will cycle through the options so you can keep going until you arrive at the username you want.</div><div class="answer">Keep in mind that a squee is NOT a private message. BerryTube doesn't support any form of private messages, and anything you type into chat will be visible to everyone.

	== How do I use emotes on BerryTube? ==		== How do I use emotes on BerryTube? ==
	<div class="answer">Due to BetterPonyMotes not entirely suiting our needs, Marminator (one of our mods) has developed his own script called Berrymotes. To enable Berrymotes, open up the Settings menu (the wrench icon at the top of chat) and click on "Manage 3rd-party plugins". From there, you simply need to check off the box labeled Berrymotes and it should load onto the page. Berrymotes draws from a larger list of subreddits than BPM, updates with new emotes every day, and can be run side-by-side with BPM without conflict.</div><div class="answer">BerryTube supports a shortcut for emotes: \\. If you type "\\sbstare" into chat, for example, it will be automatically converted into the standard Reddit emote syntax of "[](/sbstare)". If you're using Berrymotes, you'll be able to take additional advantage of this shortcut, as the script supports tab completion of emotes when using the \\ syntax. For example, if you type "\\sbst" and then hit tab, it will automatically complete it to "\\sbstare" for you. Like username completion, this will also allow you to cycle through all possible completions if the text you've typed if more than one are possible.<br/></div>~~<div class="answer"><br/></div>~~		<div class="answer">Due to BetterPonyMotes not entirely suiting our needs, Marminator (one of our mods) has developed his own script called Berrymotes.
