A well dressed anthro tiger shark in a suit greets you at the door, his toothy grin reflecting the multi-colored casino lights as you enter, as he shuffles a deck of cards in his hand.<br/><br/>"Hello!" he says, "And welcome to the tournament!" His smile beams, "Test your skill and luck against some of the worlds greatest eaters! To the winner, the best meals he's had in his life! To the losers, well," he chuckles, "There is no second place in this tourney."<br/>---------------------------<br/>The rules are simple, Texas Hold 'em is the game, and there are 6 seats at the table. No experience necessary.<br/><br/>Every player starts with $500 in chips, 5 pieces of clothing, 3 outerwear, 2 underwear, and themselves.<br/><br/>Each piece of outerwear is worth $50, each piece of underwear is worth $100, and each player is worth $150, giving each player a grand starting total of $1000.<br/><br/>When a player is eliminated, he or she goes to the player who eliminated them. The winner can do anything they want with their new earnings, short of eating them for 1 round. During that round, the eliminated player is considered to be all in, and if they win, they may take themselves and $150 worth of chips or clothing from the pot, rejoining the game. If they lose? Well... For starters, the no eating restrictions come off.<br/><br/>The card shark is the dealer, he will PM you your hands at the start of each round, and take care of the rest of the cards.<br/><br/>Each player has 24 hours to place their bets. If this time elapses without them betting, they automatically fold. If this happens 3 times in a row with a player, they will be eliminated from the tournament by casino security. Their assets will be frozen in place, and another player may enter the game, taking their seat.<br/><br/>Any attempts at cheating will be dealt with by casino security.<br/>---------------------------------------------------------<br/>Some OOC stuff: All types of vore are allowed, save for hard. Digestion is allowed. For the sake of fun, and because it's uncertain who will end up being eaten by whom, when you win a person, please discuss with them privately what their limits are, to keep the enjoyment for both.<br/><br/>Intertable banter is very much encouraged, just try not to flood the thread.<br/>-----------------------------------------------------------<br/><br/>Character Skeleton:<br/>Name:<br/>Age:<br/>Sex:<br/>Species:<br/>Description/Personality:<br/>Other:<br/><br/>------------------------------------------------------------<br/><br/>The table:<br/>Dealer: Cardshark<br/>Seat 1: OPEN<br/>Seat 2: OPEN<br/>Seat 3: OPEN<br/>Seat 4: OPEN<br/>Seat 5: OPEN<br/>Seat 6: OPEN
