What is the gauntlet?

Gauntlet was originally an arcade game made in the early 80's. It was one of the first "top-down" view role playing games, in which you could control one of four types of player classes. The objective of the game was to find keys and kill enemies and proceed to new rooms. Has seen many incarnations on various systems over time.

The gauntlet - what does it mean?

Medieval hand protection. Two variations were finger gauntlets, comprised of steel over the top of the hand and individual, articulated plates of steel over the fingers to give movement for sword and Bill. The other variation were Mitts, same steel over the hand, but just one plate or slightly curved steel over the fingers, instead of the articulation. Gloves were worn underneath the metal, for grip on the weapons and general protection.Could be plain, or highly decorated, depending on the period and the fashions of the time.

Participants turn over the cards at one end, then selecting a card from the next row and so on until they complete the gauntlet. If a player pulls a face card they drink. 1,2,3 & 4 fingers of their drink for pulling a J,Q,K & A respectively.

The gauntlet

A ritual usually performed for initiation or as a punishment in waterpolo. All the players line up to form a corridor, and one player attempts to swim through. This player is then kicked and punched as he tries to swim through. Common injuries from this include broken ribs, concussions and internal bleeding in the rectum.

How the fuck did you miss that shot, that deserves a gauntlet!

Doctor: *examining prostate* Have you been sexually abused in the last 12 months?

Patient: Nah I just joined a waterpolo club and had to run the gauntlet.
