She'll just end up blowing all her winnings on med supplies and passage fare. Because of her high alertness/inteligence and deduction/empathy/counseling skills, would it be possible for her to be able to gamble with the pros?<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Anybody can gamble with the pros.  I'm sure the pros enjoy it.  And I guess when you get technical, anyone who won money in a hand of poker qualifies as "professional" ...<br/><br/>But seriously, yes I'm easy.  A person with concentration skills, math skills, intimidation skills, etc etc, can all get some imaginary bonus points in our pointless system.  And it's not like there's a definite line that separates professionals from amateurs, winning or losing depends on a combination of luck, skill, and your opponent.  So, playing for a living in some places might be doable, whereas this same person might be outclassed in a setting where a lot of professionals ply their trade.<br/><br/>I guess the point is, she's good, but I wouldn't stake my life on her being able to make enough for everyone to live comfortably.  That's why we're hauling cargo, too.<br/><br/>So, anyhow, Lynn has the Gambling Skill, and will be at the Space Sprocket prior to 1800 hours (that's 6:00 pm, if it matters) ... a rough sketch will be provided in the IC section.<br/><br/>Feel free to start us off whenever and however you like.  Please be sure to have a plan to recognize or be recognized (for example, has Lynn met Bel?)
