				So, for the character description, since we're envisioning a strip-poker aspect do you want to know ahead of time all of the articles of clothing a character is wearing?

				Good so far.&nbsp; Perhaps we should have a standing note that if someone hasn't had a chance to reply to a mechanical situation (i.e. betting) within a certain period of time (3 days?) then it's just assumed that they're calling (or let the GM move for them), just so we don't get too hung up.

				The way I see it... they were described similarly (slender), so I'm assuming that Sally's t-shirt is a small or medium, and Andi's blouse is a 6 or so..?&nbsp; They may not be able to fit each other's bra perfectly, but... that's later ;)&nbsp; SURE they'd fit, right?&nbsp; ;D<br><br>PS<br>Now, as for SHOES, it doesn't say we have to WEAR them...<br>

				Yeah, from the descriptions I'm guessing that Andi is a wee bit smaller in the chest than Sally, who is a bit smaller than Cynthia.&nbsp; So swapping with either other girl will leave the bigger one with a gappage problem. :)&nbsp; Or at least, it'd be more fun if we made it that way.&nbsp; For simplicity we can think of Andi as a A, Sally as a B, and Cynthia as a C -- and if we get Jim some hormone-magic maybe he can complete the list as a D, big guy!

				I know, seems like a spoilsport, but I know the wild cards will get more and more tempting, and this way Andi is still a bit aloof and controlled.<br><br>And besides, I don't think I'll be posting that much for the next day or two, so that way I won't hold it up.<br><br>Oh GM - feel free to have Andi meet the ante to see the next card.

				Hey guys... I have an idea for the cards.&nbsp; First off, we do have a player who might like to join in... that's food for thought.&nbsp; I'm all for it ;)<br>Second.... regarding the cards... how about, during Caustic's leave of absence, we have a 'bonus round'... if nobody objects, everyone could draw a wildcard from a separate deck, and leave it 'face-down'.&nbsp; The characters would take turns flipping their cards... each player can "describe" the card that the next character receives.<br>Thoughts?

				Hmm.&nbsp; Tempting.&nbsp; &nbsp;;)&nbsp; Very tempting.<br><br>Or we could take a ten, fifteen minute break away from the table and...uhm...play...

				I like Ixy's idea.<br><br>Though we have all of the cards for this round out, so we can have people go ahead and reveal what they have to finish this one out.&nbsp; I think Jim's first, as much as the order matters (Andi has folded).<br><br>Once that's done, one of us can post as Lucan to introduce the bonus round.&nbsp; Perhaps everyone who completes their wildcard gets a flat $500, to make it worth everyone's while.&nbsp; Should we restrict into to the "exposure" type elements we've had so far, or take it to the next stage with some fondling fun?<br><br><br>I don't know how to introduce another player easily, plus I think the person who had expressed interest was a woman, right?&nbsp; Taking us to a 4:1 ratio seems like a bit much (though clearly at least two of the girls are bi-, and as the saying goes any woman is bi after a few drinks, right?).&nbsp; Bringing in another player as the hostess could work, particularly if the wildcards started to involve her as much as the other players.<br><br>anyway, enough rambling on that.

				I see where you're coming from, Silkcat-- and I think that a $500 flat-bonus is good for the 'dares'.&nbsp; <br><br>And I think that it's totally cool to take it to the next level-- IF desired.&nbsp; So long as it's not SO extreme that there's NO way they'd do it... but it should 'push the envelope,' I think.

				While we can handwave a certain amount of "Lucan magic" encouraging people on, I do want there to be some tension as we ratchet it up.&nbsp; Otherwise I would have just made Andi a nympho and we could have started by having sex in the middle of the poker table. :)&nbsp; On the other hand, I'm do find myself itching to get a little further.<br><br>Maybe that special round should focus on just taking clothes off (and keeping them off), though I'd like to get it creative.&nbsp; Do you think it would be okay if the challenges ended up making people feel silly?&nbsp; We have a serious, tense mood and I'm not sure if we should break that or not.<br><br>For instance: Everyone has to name the color of the underwear (bottoms) of the person to their right.&nbsp; The last person to announce out loud their person's underwear color has to remove their own underwear (or another item if they don't have underwear on).&nbsp; &nbsp;That would look silly as everyone scrambled to look down each other's pants - it might feel more like Strip Twister or something.&nbsp; It might break the ice, but it might make it hard to get back to the "real game".

				Nothing wrong with a little icebreaker.&nbsp; ;D&nbsp; and no need to go so far as screwing on the table!&nbsp; Not yet, anyway.

				I have an idea for how to work this into the game...<br><br>Lucan could have a royal flush - beating even the five kings (I think...)<br>Perhaps one of his down cards is a wild card that forces the "special round"<br><br>That would keep it within the bounds of the game, at least a bit.<br><br>Also, Lucan didn't use his "Atlas" wildcard, I think.&nbsp; My thought was that anything that the House has to do would actually end up being done by the hostess.&nbsp; Lucan himself being inviolate, and only taking part in any act when he wants to.

				Where wild cards are involved, five of a kind is beaten by a natural straight flush (usually) but beats a straight flush assembled with wild cards...at least according the the Neighborhood Guide to Poker.<br><br>Your mileage may vary (and some groups reverse this ruling!).&nbsp; However, since in Vegas they don't usually play with Wild Cards...<br><br>Works for me.&nbsp; You've got me beat anyway.&nbsp; ;D

				I never actually got cards dealt to me, but I can just assume she lost that hand.
