If someone could find a good Poker thing we could use to group up in, I'd be up for some of that. Texas Hold 'em or whatever.

so we'll have to coordinate on which one.

So like. Which one then?

[Aqizzar]

Beats me.  There's plenty of copycat sites that may or may not allow you to play without money (I would assume they all do, but they push "REAL MONEY" angle pretty hard), but they all have ads and crappy scripts so they're kinda slow.  On the other hand, there's the downloadable-client games, but this being the Internet, anything downloadable is a total crapshoot.

I gotta work for a few hours, but I'm totally up for trying this tonight.  Somebody find a good system.  I'll help to, y'know, when I'm here and not playing Minecraft.

GMT -6 here.

When my dad was trying to break his Tibia addiction (Horrible MMO, free servers are clogged with Brazilians to the point where the entire world is hunted out 100% of the time, and it takes weeks to level up even if you're completely alone the whole time) he played Full Tilt Poker.  It works, it's free, but you have to download it and make a (free) account.

It's a possibility.

[WorkerDrone]

Someone decide on what Poker venue to use or whatever, and I'll be up for it.

[Aqizzar]

Okay, I downloaded the Full Tilt Poker client (just Google it, it's right there), and made an account.  I'm not sure how to set up a room yet, but anyone who wants in go ahead and try to meet me there.  I'll be on Steam now.

[ToonyMan]

Installing and creating an account.  This'll be cool.

I would suggest no one come in and watch this.  It's a sorry fucking sight.  Details to come.

[Dragooble]

I'm getting setup right now. is it still too late to join?

[ToonyMan]

Screw you Dan and chicken.  Screw you.

[WorkerDrone]

That was some fucking funny bullshit.

7:59 PM - Matt: It's like.
7:59 PM - Matt: Hilarious.
7:59 PM - Matt: Poker Raid.
7:59 PM - Matt: That's what it was.
7:59 PM - Matt: A fucking goddamn raid.
7:59 PM - Matt: That FAILED

That was a welcome for the ages.  Cthulhu (Cfoofoo), ToonyMan, and myself hijack a poker table and set to screwing each other over, with a couple random passers by.  WokerDrone finally shows up, and takes the whole table in his first game, catapulting him to over $1000 when the starting purse is supposed to be $400.  Hijinks ensue for a while, as we methodically (and ineptly) run off all other drifters.  WorkerDrone maintains a commanding lead the whole time.

Then a B-Movie monster by the name of Metaldan shows up.  At this point, me and Drone have over $4000 each, and Dan ingratiates himself by starting a bidding war.  Taking this as a challenge, we try to buy him out...  And fail spectacularly.  Within minutes, Dan is sitting on over $7000, and we're all going for more chips.  Cthulhu knows a hopeless fight when he sees one and leaves, but the remaining three swear a blood vendetta to take this guy down.  And we fail a few more times.  We got some help later from a high-rolling panda, but nearly an hour passed of just watching us hand the guy money.  Drone finally loses his shit in the chat window (with humor of course).  Dan's response - "stop giving me ur money then".  We don't learn.  Finally we think have the master stroke and try to buy him out one last time over a string of victories, only to be completely cleaned out again and rocket Dan up to twelve grand.  Drone has had enough.

We go to an empty table with an even lower purse limit.  Within minutes, we're joined by a chicken.  Ah, fresh meat... quoth the chicken, who proceeds to beat us soundly.  After a few more trips to the cashbox and another bevvy of farm animals arrive, and we screw around with the avatar-moods settings, the chicken finally drops the hammer, and it's Total Party Kill for the third or fourth time.

Drone - We were the kings of Vegas, and now we go to playing for bottlecaps against chickens.  And losing.

Eventually, even ToonyMan gets tired of going all in on every hand, and we call it a night.  But what a ride.  Join us next time folks, when our Level 1 party takes on another silver dragon or something.  We're kinda hoping for an All Bay12 table, which means nine people, just so we know who to blame.
