[POKER] Game #2 w/ Vic (08-Oct-05)

Unfortunately, nobody seems to have recorded this game. However, I can retell the interaction that led to the unlock. These aren't direct quotes, just the best of my memory of what went down.

I came to the table around 4:05 EST. We'd been talking in IRC about the implications of Kerry working for Don MacPherson, and his writing a letter to Corazon. As far as I can recall, I came in to multiple questions being asked of Vic, but he hadn't committed to a specific line of thought yet. I asked:

Quote:

SuperJerms: So vic, why do you think Kerry killed you: because he was hired or because he likes her?

(He didn't answer the question, but he might not have heard me since I was spectating. I got a seat two hands later, so I was seated by the time others had asked about Kerry and about Vic's porn vids, to which he replied:)

Quote:

victorsimkoaldridge: ...but that Tucker guy is a psycho.
victorsimkoaldridge: Man...I'd like to do a film on him.
victorsimkoaldridge: That would be a really interesting documentary.
victorsimkoaldridge: The guy's crazy. I could just set up a camera on him and roll.
SuperJerms: something like A Thin Blue Line?
SuperJerms: Kinda in the style of Errol Morris?
victorsimkoaldridge: Exactly, SJ! A Thin Blue Line was a great movie!
SuperJerms: Morris is the greatest documentary maker alive today. I'm sure you'd be just like him.
SuperJerms: Did you ever see Mr. Death or Fog of War?
victorsimkoaldridge: FOG OF WAR is my favorite movie!
SuperJerms: Yeah! I saw it not too long ago. It was really powerful.

(A pop-up informs us of the new update to Kerry Tucker's profile. Vic basically says he's psyched to be reminded of his favorite movie and logs off.)

And how did we come up with that? Vic mentioned morris just before Terry killed him. His flickr account also mentioned him. We talked about that in this thread. Morris is one of the most influential directors in the American New Documentary Movement. His key movie was A Thin Blue Line, where he interviewed an innocent man who was on death row, and the killer that should have been in his place. Fantastic movie. Fog of War was different lessons to be learned from the life of MacNamara, and was Morris' most recent film. It wasn't quite as good as Thin Blue Line, though Razz

EDIT: now that RPG figured out we can recall past games with the game number, I fiddled around and got the actual dialogue.

Quote:

poker with vic

That was good work.

What I think: we missed this one in the earlier playing poker game. He let us take a break to figure it out. It is possible we missed it the week before.

What I learned. We are only unlocking things - not probing for new information. We need to listen to what the character brings up and focus in on that! ( it seems so simple now, but hard to do when your brain is loaded with ideas!) I thought that the break was to give us time to find the new information and come back to ask new questions. As it turns out, the break was because we were on the wrong track. The answer was based on information that we had last week! Not the new stuff that came out in between

To unlock anything, we have to give a very specific answer. Our mention of Errol Morris and The Thin Blue Line were not exact enough. Victor needed us (thanks again SuperJerms!) to say Fog of War.

Other things that were confirmed in the chat:
Victor is no longer the story.
We need to keep an eye on Corazon.
He didn't know Kerry before he killed him.
He regrets giving Kerry a key.
Victor didn't know that McPherson is behind Kerry's killings.

PS. I was totally obnoxious about my winning two hands of poker in the Monster room while chatting with a character and racking my brain for ideas of what to say!

However ,those of you who have played poker with me the first week, like bagsbee and dorkmaster, when I had no idea even the order of the hands or what pocket cards meant, will know where I was coming from. Most of the other players in the game weren't chatting in the #lastcall chat room (Where were they? One wonders.) So I couldn't tell if they were just letting me win or not trying. Anyway, I was happy about it. I even mentioned it to Victor, but he didn't care. Smile
