(Player Event) Player Event - Poker Night - Monday 23rd April

[Aurelius]

As always, at the O*T Arena, Zento!

Rules remain as originally given here :

Stratics Forums

We've been asked to clarify one thing - the 'slimes' wild card, you do not have to define what you want the slime to function as until you have summoned all 5 'cards' for your hand, it is NOT necessary to nominate what it counts as immediately after you summon it!

Bobar's 5 million prize for the first 'full house' hand to be summoned is still up for grabs, we got close but so far nobody has managed it - maybe this week....

Start time of 8PM UK time - anyone welcome, we'll even have some scrolls available for those not quite mage enough to do their own summoning

The link for the old 'rules' post seems not to work any more, so the important bits are :

The idea is fairly simple - we pair up mages, each in turn goes into the arena and summons their five, which we score according to the following :

Card 'equivalents' -

Ace - highest card - Chicken (We are the ECL after all...)
King - Alligator
Queen - Snow Leopard
Jack - Scorpion
14 - Giant Serpent
13 - Hind
12 - Rabbit
11 - Polar Bear
10 - Black Bear
9 - Grizzly Bear
8 - Llama
7 - Eagle
6 - Grey Wolf
5 - Pig
4 - Horse
3 - Gorilla
2 - Walrus

Wild card - Slime, counts as anything you choose it to represent!


Hand rankings, highest to lowest :

Five of a kind - all the same creature
Flush - all reptile/non mammal or all mammal.
Four of a kind
Full house - three of one kind of creature, two of another
Three of a kind
Two pairs
One pair
High 'card'.

The second mage comes in, casts their spells - and unless things have been very unusual, we should have a winner!
