I'm liking this so far - good story. I'll try out the poker tables later today.

I was under the impression TheDealer was dead, too. Aren't we all dead in the game? And under many profiles of characters, I've noticed (alive) or just (offline). TheDealer is (offline) right now. Does anyone know whether it says (alive) when he's on?

Thanks for the recap, Rose. I wanted to add that Paco and the Viet brothers are members of gangs...there's a sub-story there.

This is definitely in LA. I lived there once, so let me explain the 11 numbers being dialed.

In LA, so many people live there that they have gone to an 11-digit phone number system. (New York City and Atlanta also have them.) Basically, a caller has to dial the area code without the "1" in front. It's very normal to people who live in those area, so the PMs probably didn't think it was odd at all - it's just odd to the rest of us.

So I don't think it's anything important...except maybe to let us know that it's in LA. Which is obvious because of the references to Hollywood and gang names (Crips and Bloods).

Also, the dealer is dead. If you see an "offline" under a character's picture, they re dead. This casino is in a very special place.

I'm sure that the dealer is still alive and when Marrec was playing with thedealer it was private and there was another character in there as well, the asian kid i believe

[Dr_Pangloss]

It was hikerdOOd. And hikerdOOd is definitely dead. He fell off a mountain.

the dealer left the gun to Lucy in his will. He's dead.

Again, this casino is in a very special place.

Registered as well, under FraggedOne. Once I get my account info correct for this board, I'll post under my correct SN.

Thedealer seems to be active, but all the evidence indicates that Lionel "lucky" Brown is dead.
As far as relationships go, i think that thedealer is Lucy's uncle and Robert's father (shown by "I left a gun to my favorite niece, Lucy. Because of that, my son is dead.") (making him the original owner of the gun, which could be the meaning of "I can't rest thinking maybe I dealt her the dead man's hand" (the cant rest could also be a reference to the "never rest. Never rest. Never rest." in tips for the living and the dead)).
On a different note thedealer's profile talks about lucy getting kicked out of convent school, and "Giant economy sized pack of pork rinds" (from pacocisneros) mentions that the clerk at the Deli-Mart "Everybody said he'd been a priest. That he'd slept with some sixteen year old girl or something and they'd thrown him out."
could be a connection there, especially since he came to help lucy at the cemetery. (preacher is identified as the clerk in the police report).
Might consider trying to draw something showing the probable relationships between characters at some point.

Sorry about the atrocious grammar and spelling there :S

Ok I signed up and played for an hour or so. You can add me as cskane4life

I will usually be at the no limit tables.

On a side note the vieeo of the shooting isat Hollywood Forever. I have been there several times. They show movies there on summer nights =)

Yes: the dealer is definitely dead, which is why he needs our help. I wasn't sure that hikerd00d was dead - although the Darwin award sounded like he was --- but then. um. what does that mean about Marrec... Marrec, you are alive right.

I'll work through the relationships later.

The whole premise is that we can play poker with the dead here. Which is kinda cool and reminds me of a song.

[Svengoolie]

Damn it, yanka... we're all freakin' dead. Why don't you understand that?
