Do you want to make up Lucy's dealer or me to do it?  :)

You will be the first to describe Lucy's dealer.

I may or may not develop my own plans for the dealer's motivations and actions as time goes on.

Okay so:

All my other games, except one, have slowed to a crawl by comparison.

I recently discovered the game THE BLOODY-HANDED NAME OF BRONZE, and fell in love with its concepts.

(Of course, it's well-known in certain circles that the rules are a little confusing, so I tinkered with them and clarified everything I could think of to clarify.)

But I'm dying to play (my version).

You (and the players in my other non-slow game) are invited early, if you wish.

I was out on errands all morning, sorry  :)

That does look like a fascinating game!  And I definitely appreciate the offer.  But I probably should let you give that spot to someone else, I only let myself join a pretty small number of games before I get spread too thin and start to let things slide, and I'm right about at that cap now.  Thanks for thinking of me though!

No problem! Nothing to apologize for.





I know, right?!?




Understood, no problem.

I'll probably not be able to post in-game again myself until tomorrow morning...

Things went well in your last post... I anticipate that Hector will come back with her order as expected, with nothing unexpected in the interaction today.

The next time she comes to Hector, there may be a surprise or two-- too early yet to say the number, size, or good/bad ratio of the surprise or surprises.

But, again, for now, I think I'll let you finish the transaction and then say: what's next?

...I...

...My hesitation comes from a lack of adequate understanding of the situation. If the poker tables are just dealers dealing cards to gamblers playing each other, then how does the casino ever get any money off off that?

By taking a small percentage of every pot for themselves.  They call it the "rake."

Got it. Then no, not only would she not be getting anything useful about the game from the dealers, I don't see why she'd even be checking on their brains, really.

That's what I thought too!  I was confused that you mentioned them.  :)

I've played bit of poker in RL.  Lucy is probably better at it than me, but I sorta kinda have a clue what I'm talking about.

Also I just wanted to say that I'm liking the game so far!  I have no clue at all yet what direction it's going, which is great.

The most poker I've played was against the dealer on an Intellivision from the late 1970s.

Good, glad to hear. It's nice to have someone who not only is into the role-playing side but who can post about as often as I do (or am capable of, anwyay)

Wow, that "card shuffle" sound is just horrifically annoying.  :D

Lucy is getting pretty fantastically lucky with her die rolls!

That's just the way it goes sometimes!

How is she ever going to get experience points though, if she never fails any rolls?!  :D

By taking chances and trying things she's not good at!

...Adding that when we checked her room and Violet Wells was found to be in there, Delany REALLY got curious about Lucy Lopez...

Do you want to open up a New York City thread, or just carry on in the current one?

Oh! Good question.

I'll open an NYC thread.

Busy day. Suddenly today everyone in most of my other games decided to post, and right now I'm a bit mentally tired.

I'll try to prioritize you tomorrow if I don't get to you today... (nudge me if I don't post in this game in the next 21 hours or so...)

Ahh, whereas today everyone else are back to their usual not-posting selves...

You doin' relatively okay? Hope so...

Yep, I'm good, thx!  :)

Silence is just due to a sort of combination of a busy couple of days, and trying to think of something fun for Lucy to do next.

Understood, no rush--

And I'm back!  Usually I'd have warned you I was going to be on vacation without internet for a week, but the site was down all last weekend.

Back to posting sometime tonight  :)
