[HS] End Game?

[ALISDAIRPARK]

Thanks Karija. Seems like it's been a really quick game with not a lot that's happened for this to be the end....

EDIT: okies cut out a lot of the boring stuff (there were technical problems so a lot of the chat was around that), and added in a bit of "story".

So the last section, now reading normally:

Lucky Jack: My luck! What have you done to me? I can't I can't set anything in motion I feel it anchoring me down like a rock.
Lucky Jack: Someone, please. Someone flip me. Set the world in motion and I will make you a king!
Robert Baron: I've just been waiting for you to ask. I'll do it!
Scott: I'm afraid I can't let you do that.
Robert Baron: Give me that back, you punk kid!
Robert Baron: Argh!
Scott: Woah. Thanks for the grab, Ned. Don't you think Parare has had enough of your kind of 'Luck' Baron?
Scott: You, challenging everyone to a game of poker for control of the town, and then your bet with Mr. Clarkson that pulled the town out of time. I guess it was better with Mr. Clarkson here, but not the best. These great people have made everything even and that's where it's going to stay
Robert Baron: Even! Pfah! Nothing around here has ever been even!
Scott: I'm not going to cheat anymore. I lost this tournament, and it seems that now you did too. The town is part of the world again, and we'd both better leave.
Robert Baron: You… you've won for now, but you haven't heard the last of Robert Baron!
The Baron was escorted from the premises by Ned at this point.
Scott then gave a semi-monologue:
I was trying to get Mr. Clarkson out scott-free, but I went and I talked to him and I realized that Mr. Clarkson just wanted to get out. He didn't care about the rules, or people really, he just wanted things to go his way. I don't think his way was the best way. Yes, he was a better mayor, but he also was the cause of this town disappearing for long periods of time, you know? Almost drove Mabel batty. I've decided that I'm not going to cheat to get Mr. Clarkson out. I can help him pay his fines, and maybe he will have to pay some dues in a minimum security prison as well. But once he gets out, I'll show him how an honest accountant makes a living… and, if Mabel is willing, I'll show her some of the outside world. Thank you, everyone, for your help. You really put this town back on the level.
We then discussed options to deal with the chip:
abyss: Cover it in concrete and make a monument above it.
tesseract: or smash it to pieces…then it can never be used again
Scott: Huh. That's a good idea. Maybe I'll try that. Burying it or smashing it.
tesseract: or melt it,
Scott: Isn't that what Robert Baron tried? I guess I might have to take his advise for once. Okay, I gotta run. Thanks again for helping me… I hope someday I will be able to return the favor.
karija: pour acid over it.

Thanks They're both really long but I didn't have time to mess with it yesterday, just tried to take out most of the "Done" and "Your turns" as we had to post every time we went b/c page wouldn't update on its own...

Edit: Doesn't feel like a lot happened, either - very little interaction. But I can't imagine what else there would be to do at this point?

[ALISDAIRPARK]

...and I'll add some of the trash talking, and key sections of play here in a mo.

I also cut out the sections where we were trying to get other WAs into IRC so we could coordinate strategy, however for some reason a few preferred to play their own games..

EDIT: oh crom I deleted to much and it isn't making sense...I'll start over

EDIT II: Done, although I'm not doing colours this time:

janerichmond: Hmmm…not cheating….I think you are
Lucky Jack: Lucky Jack always wins!
Ned Stevenson: But he doesn't get the chips. I've got my eye on things.
Lucky Jack: Tell me, janerichmond, why do you bother trying to save this pathetic town? They have done you no favors
janerichmond: I'm a sucker for helping people in need
Lucky Jack: And you think those cheats need you?
janerichmond: who's cheating?
Lucky Jack: Robert Baron. Mr. Clarkson. Is Scott not trying to cheat him out of his crimes?

aprilfcg: Not to shabby…how's our pal Baron? Still shell shocked?
tesseract: still posessed by the Lucky Dipster here.
tesseract: who's been cheating BTW
torque: Cheating, I do not cheat!
tesseract: Not you T. Scmucky Jo

Lucky Jack: Quiet! I will have all of your chips! And this town!
Lucky Jack: Argh! What have you done to my luck?

Lucky Jack: Perhaps…
Lucky Jack: Perhaps I have been too hasty. I call.
Lucky Jack: Perhaps we could reach a deal..
ndemeter: a deal?
ndemeter: other than chips what is there to wager?
tesseract: oh? Are you running scared Scmucky?
burpiemcghee: what happens when Lucky's chips are gone?
Lucky Jack: What happens? I. Well. That is…
burpiemcghee: Do you disappear forever. Do we need to keep you here?
Lucky Jack: It is a mystery. Not meant for cheating mortals. In fact, you shouldn't know… that's why I offer you a deal. Yes
burpiemcghee: what is the deal?
Lucky Jack: If you give me back my luck, I could give you luck.
tesseract: no ta, I'm too damn lucky as it is
ndemeter: Oh, how kind of you. No deal.

aprilfcg: Hey Lucky, looks like you're not doing too well….
Lucky Jack: I'm doing fine!
aprilfcg: Well..no, not really…have you noticed your chip count?

tesseract: come on LJ pressure getting to you?
Lucky Jack: Pressure? I am an avatar of luck, what know I of pressure?
karija: won't let me go all in, so guess I have to fold. g'luck, tes
tesseract: no luck required K, but thanks for the thought.
karija: give 'em hell
tesseract: "lucky" ain't no match for skill
tesseract: stop sweating LJ
tesseract: your call Scmuck
Lucky Jack: Bah.
tesseract: Sheep dip jack? Your new name I think?
tesseract: when you're ready Loser Jack
Lucky Jack: Must you goad me? I am finished.
abyss: Yes, we must goad, it's fun..
Lucky Jack: Match that, if you dare.
Lucky Jack: Oh, you think to play with me, tesseract? You won't beat me this time!
tesseract: lets dance then schmuck
Lucky Jack: Yes, indeed. Your card.
Lucky Jack: Raised.
tesseract: I'll see that and raise again
Lucky Jack: Is that the best you can do?
tesseract: sweating Scmucky ?
Ned Stevenson: He is sweating. I can see him all the way over here.
(if I had spotted this comment in time I could have taken LJ right there)
Lucky Jack: Be quiet, you fraud, you cheat!
tesseract: okies call you
tesseract: So what you got for me Loser?
Ned Stevenson: Okay let me fix scores. Nice win, Tesseract.
Lucky Jack: Noooo!
Lucky Jack: You can't… you can't do this to me!
tesseract: mighty small pile of chips you got there partner

tesseract: we just don't like demons much
abyss: it's that whole morality thing, ya know?
Lucky Jack: Morality? What is so moral about liars, cheaters, and thieves?
abyss: Yeah, but they're human. You're not. They win
Lucky Jack: Human. Accident prone, unlucky humans, without me you'd have never crawled out of the primordial ooze!
tesseract: really Jack, you claiming evolution now? and you can't even beat a bunch of talking monkeys at cards…
Lucky Jack: Be quiet!
tesseract: or what Loser Jo?
abyss: Or what? You'll sweat us to death?
karija: He's trying to stink us out.
tesseract: maybe you'll throw some chips at us? oh wait you don't have that many left...
Ned Stevenson: ( He's starting to look at his cards like he doesn't understand them. )
abyss: Quite frankly, I'm not sure he ever did.
tesseract: raising again Schmucky? did you really want to do that?
Lucky Jack: Don't YOU tell me what to do!
tesseract: Hope you like the fairer sex Loser cos you're about to lose….again
Ned Stevenson: That was a good play! Karija won!

karija: cat got your tongue, LJ?
Lucky Jack: No, I am merely… savoring the moment.
tesseract: what the moment where you drop to single figures Jackster?
abyss: savoring the moment you lose you mean?
Lucky Jack: The moment my luck returns
Lucky Jack: Muhahahahaha!
tesseract: wow 160 chips, you must feel on top of the world Loser
Lucky Jack: Bah!
tesseract: sheep dip again Jackster?
abyss: Bah? Are you a sheep now?
karija: he's the black sheep
Scott came in at this point
Lucky Jack: I will see that.
tesseract: steady there Lucy Jo, down to double figs again…
tesseract: want to empty your a/c again Lucy Jo?
Lucky Jack: It can't be!
abyss: Oh yes it can, Loser
Lucky Jack: My luck! What have you done to me? I can't I can't set anything in motion I feel it anchoring me down like a rock.
…and that's where we took his last chips!

double posted so this wouldn't be lost in the above.

I just went into the Boat site for a nosey, it says:
