 		[Update] Oct 1: a summary
Well the chip reset has gone through, and I find myself with $26,000. I assume the bonuses come from the card I found and (maybe) # of poker buddies?

I finished the week with $0, so those are the only possible sources.

 		Heeey, I got 6,ooo in bonus! Neato. Must be because of my buddy count, for I too tossed my chips to the wind in the final hours before the reset.

Edited to Add:

Which doesn't add up, since my husband got 7k extra, while he only has 8 poker buddies and hasn't found a card....I have 48...

Marrec got 16k+, so the card finding MUST have an effect....Hmm....

 		I have 20,000$ and 39 Poker Buddies, it's probably related to chip count, buddies, or time played. *shrug*

 		[POKER] Chip Reset
Ok, so the reset happened. Not completely smooth I guess, since the whole site went bananas for some minutes, but it happened.
Now, I assumed that everybody would start over with 10k, but my profile now shows 17k... and other profiles shows even more, like 40k. I gave a look at a bunch of profiles, and apparently everybody got more than 10k.
Maybe that's a "bonus" based on the number of poker buddies, or money earned before the reset, or something else?
And, well, should we assume that means something arg-wise or just be grateful and go back to the poker table? Smile

Edit: since somebody else started another thread on this, I guess a moderator could merge my post there. Wink

(Done. Smile --Phaedra)

Well, I don't think it's time played, since I've been there from the begining, and my husband only started a few days ago, and got more...

He did reach a top chip count higher than I did, but he too lost it all before the reset...

And again, since I have more buddies than the both of you, I don't think it's buddy count...

So....uh....maybe highest reached chip count decides the bonus?

I only reached about 9,000 total, what about you all?

 		Yeah, there's more to bonus' than meets the eye. Shocked Hmm.. I doubt poker buddies has anything to do with it. Unlocking stuff does, though. I want that mark of the joker! And whore it all to myself! j/k

 		The three guys with the Mark of the Joker got enough bonus to get on the leaderboard, so unlocks do seem to be a big deal.

 		[UPDATE] Oct. 1 - Pikar's profile
There's a new scrap in Pikar's profile. I've quoted the bits with German in it, translated text in bold.

Quote:
Was soll das? What do you want? he asked.

Ich will dich da rausholen. Sag jetzt nichts I want to get you out of there. Don't say a word., Maurice said.

Quote:
Wer sind Sie? Who are you? the prisoner asked. Warum tun Sie das? Hat Gottlieb Sie geschickt? Ich habe meine Brille nicht. Meine Brille ist kaputt. Why do you do that? Did Gottlieb send you? I don't have my glasses. My glasses are broken.

Quote:
The man looked around. Wo sind wir? Where are we? he asked.

Maurice opened the door and grabbed the man's arm and pulled him out. The man stumbled and nearly fell. Maurice held him up firmly but without rancor.

They walked quite a ways away from the road, through the small scrubby trees. When Maurice felt they were far enough away he said, Ich bin der Scharfrichter. I am the executioner

The man looked at him, not comprehending.

Bergen-Belsen, Maurice said.

Nein No, the man said, Nein, Sie müssen mir helfen. No, you've got to help me.

 		[UPDATE] Week 1 Trail
http://www.lastcallpoker.com/themuck/themuck.aspx#
I don't think this has been posted before, if so, lock it. Scroll down to Week 1 Trail, to find a curious map mentioning our own Phaedra, Marrec, and the infamous J_dot_J, among numerous things that happened during Week 1.

 		that's a pretty cool way of setting up a summary, though it took me a bit to figure out how to read it.

 		It seems to be a round-up of the things that have taken place in the past week. Kind of handy if you go on holiday or something like that Smile
