RULES OF THIS GAME:
[ Step 1]: - You must find a minimum of TWO other players to enter the poker table with you. If you cannot find someone else put a [ OPEN ] at the top of your post. This means you are open for inviting other players. You can have up to 5 people in a poker game thread, if you wish. All players may now come in, and roll in whatever order they wish, you really don't have to wait for players to get your rolls in!
Label your thread [ POKER RP] (PLAYERS HERE). You can play cross faction, obviously! Remember MINIMUM 3 players MAX 5 players!
The player who made the thread is responsible for closing it when finished.
[ Step 2]: All players must now roll 5d12 and make their FIRST POST in that thread. This equals the CARDS they have on their hands where 1= Ace, 11 = Jack, 12 = Queen. There are no kings. Edit your OOC accordingly with your hand. Make a post regarding your hand/entering the thread/ etc.
[ Step 3]: Look at your hand combination. You may now choose to DISCARD one card from your hand you do not like. Select which number you want to discard (from your rolls), and then in a second post, roll 1d12 again. This is your new card. Edit your OOC HAND accordingly, and write a small post of your character. This phase is optional.
[ Step 4]: Look at your hand combination. You may now choose to DISCARD ANOTHER card from your hand you do not like. Select which number you want to discard (from your rolls), and then in your third post, roll 1d12 again. This is your new card. Edit your OOC accordingly, and write a small post of your character. This phase is optional, and your LAST chance to swap cards.
[ Step 4b]: If you somehow have "cash" in your minis inventory, now is the chance to use it! Make a post, and RP that you are using your cash to BRIBE the dealer. Immediately send the cash item to Junkyard. This item WILL be removed from your inventory. When you have done so (don't worry about waiting for confirmation, just do NOT use this item anywhere else or you will be removed from the event), replace any card in your hand with a card of your choice. For example, if your current hand is 1, 2 , 2, 4, 5, with your bribe, you may now change it to 1, 2 3, 4, 5. Proceed to the next step when done. This step is only for CASH people only (if you own this item on the site).
[ Step 5]: You are done swapping cards! This is now your FINAL HAND. We're going to simplify the rules here for Poker so it isn't a big nightmare to complete. Look at the list below:
Select a combination that is APPROPRIATE to your hand. For example, if you have 2, 2, 5, 6, 7, your highest is a pair. If you got 2 3 4 5 6, your highest is a straight. etc etc. Use the form below to submit your final hand and rp out your post.
[quote="CARD FINAL"][b][color=red]I AM SUBMITTING MY HAND[/b][/color] [b]My card combination:[/b] [b]Inventory link:[/b] (proof of cash) [b]Character name:[/b][/quote]
[ Step 6]: When ALL PLAYERS have submitted their hand, simply look at this chart again to see who has the highest combo. If there are two "tied" values, simply look at who has the higher card numbers. That person is the WINNER. If you are the WINNER of the thread, you get 25 casino points. Everyone else has to subtract 5 as penalty. Go ahead and edit your ooc for casino points accordingly.
If players are caught not subtracting points, they will be disqualified from any future poker games! If players do NOT respond in a timely manner despite posting one hand, they will be considered no longer part of the game (-5 penalty for "losing"). The wait period for a timely tag should be 12 hours before moving onwards. You may play multiple poker games at once.
"Evening," said a guy with a surprisingly robotic-sounding voice and a completely inscrutable black mask as he sat down beside Brie and Rook. In lieu of an expression, his body language radiated a bit of... frustration. The collar around his neck blinked 140 in little red numerals.
He grabbed a few cards and began to shuffle them around idly. Games of chance left a sour taste in his mouth. Especially gambling for his life.

With everything going on, the red head didn't even have the energy to argue with Rook. Besides, they had bigger problems.
The robotic like voice came as a surprise, which resulted in startling Brie. "Uh.." Blinking a few time, she leaned a little closer as if to get a better look at the man. "Hi." Without meaning to, she caught herself staring at the stranger for a good solid minute.
This place must really be getting to her, but she swore she had seen this guy somewhere. But really, where the hell would she have seen him from?

Likewise, Rook's energy was sapped, he was far too exhausted to even come up with a snide remark when he saw her again. So instead, he focused his now very confused look on the man dressed as a--
"What are you supposed to be, anyways?" He asked, glancing at his cards, before he focused on 888 again.

"Zer0," he answered, idly shuffling his cards around in different orders while hardly seeming to look at them. "It was, uh, supposed to be ironic..."
He didn't offer, nor ask for, names. Sentimental attachment wasn't something he wanted in a hellhole like this.
"University, huh?" he suddenly asked, eyeing the flashy jersey on Rook. He didn't have as clear a guess for the girl, he supposed if she didn't have an obvious handcuff around her wrist, the only thing left was apartments.

Brow furrowing, it finally clicked. "Ohhh, as in the charcter. Borderlands. Riiiight." On any other day, she may have been more excited to see someone dressed in full costume as one the favored characters a game she loved. But, alas, this whole ordeal had kind of sucked joy out of everything.
Never having played poker in her life, Brie was exchanging cards at random, just hoping she might get lucky.

"I don't get it." He stated flatly. Was it something to do with math? Fortunately Brie provided the answer he was looking for. "Oh, a character." Yeah he still didn't really know what they were talking about. Better to just pretend and go along with it.
There was a nod of his head to confirm 888's question. "What faction are you from? Assuming by the fact that you don't know Brie here, you're not from downtown."

Still unsure of how this game was to play out, she decided to just go with whatever she had in hand. Screw it.

"Mall Rats." If Rook and Brie paid close attention to the crowd in the casino, he would start noticing the ridiculous halloween costumes scattered throughout. "Guess they've got all kinds here. Can't miss the place. Unfortunately."
He shot what was probably supposed to be a dirty look at the dealer, who didn't acknowledge it.
After a time, 888 spread his cards on the table. Game over, a loss. He tossed a careless handful of coins in the direction of the dealer, then leaned back in his chair. "Beginner's luck."

Glancing about the casino, there were a few people who did tend to.. stand out more than others. Was it Halloween already? Were people still celebrating it?
Shaking her head, the girl nodded at 888's suggestion to play again. It's not like they could turn down the game anyways.

"Well its not like we got anything better to do right now, might as well play another game." Though in this case poker wasn't one he was all that keen on playing, because it meant taking away from other peoples funds towards their own freedom.
This place was really ******** up.

"That's more like it." 888 spread his hand in front of him on the table. Two pair.
He began tapping mindlessly on the table with a few fingers. "So I'm curious now. Let me ask you both a question."
He held up one of his tokens between two fingers. "If you only had enough of these... coins... for one person, who would you save?"

Man, she was really bad at this game. At this point she was losing more than she was winning. Resting her chin on the table, she nearly groaned at the man's question.
"That's a horrible thing to ask someone.." Of course she didn't want to die, but at the same time, if she was to choose her life over someone else, she wasn't sure she could live with the guilt. The young man from earlier was already eating away at her conscience.
"If I had to choose, I would save another person instead. At least then this stupid game would be over."

There was a mixture of disgust, sorrow, and amusement on Rook's face at that question. "I was told that I lost my chance at being a patron." He answered in a light tone, but left it at that. He would much rather not get into detail about it.
