Anyone Interested in a Compendium Card Group?

[IAmSerge]

we could probably design an online game of it, maybe gamemaker (I could definitley do), or C++ if I ever learn how, which I would like a bit more than a GM one.  If it were to be designed, it would probably start out in such a way that you gain a full sized, somewhat premade, deck to begin with, and then each day you are allowed to "draw" a few new cards. to add to your deck, which then there would be some sort of deck organization screen (In the pokemon TCG you are only allowed a certain number of cards to a deck, and then a certain number of each card type).

Then there would be the online battle system, which would be... well, lets not get into this in this topic, if someone is interested in designing the schemantics of the actual TCG, or the systematics of the virtual game it would be played on, lets make a new topic.

I love Spades. And I'm really really good at it. Texas Hold 'Em is okay with me, I can play it too. I think this would be a lot of fun!

I'm hearing some stirrings for hold 'em. Let's try playing that, at least at first. Is anyone up for some play sometime within the next two hours? We can use the Yahoo! platform at games.yahoo.com.

[Lakonthegreat]

Eh, not tonight... I've been awake for 25 hours on 4 hours of sleep.

[ZaichikArky]

Yeah, sure. Let me know which room you're in.

[KebreI]

I might be good, I've never touch Yahoo games before...

Eh, not tonight... I've been awake for 25 hours on 4 hours of sleep.

Your so silly.

Damn, looks like this is actually going to require some strategy on my part.

I'll probably be able to do this regularly, but it will be to a less-than-full extent beginning soon, unless there are extenuating circumstances on any given Saturday.  To work with my school schedule my boss was ridiculously gracious and only scheduled me for weekends to do my job beginning mid-next month.   My job is always a night gig, which means I'll be working whenever this happens.  However, most of the time I'm not completely occupied by my work, as is evident by the fact that I'm always reading and posting here at work.

I'll be on to give it a shot next week.  I was exploring night life around the area and scouting live music tonight.  Felt good to get out, if for no other reason than to enjoy driving by night.

Well, we had our first Compendium Card Group get-together tonight. Zephira, ZaichiArky, Fafnir, Kebrel, ZeaLitY, and myself all enjoyed some hold 'em and raillery for a few hours, and we've decided to make it a regular thing, which thrills me!

For the time being, we'll be holding our gatherings on Saturday nights at 8:00 pm Pacific Time (11:00 pm Eastern). It won't just be poker, for those of you who want the chance to play other card games.

Next Saturday, PAX will be on, so some of us (like me) won't be available, but the get-together will go on!

To all you n00bs (like me ) at poker, I found this to be very valuable. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_poker_hands . For me, it was mostly confusion about what kinds of hands exist. The betting part I don't completely get either, but it's generally very basic. I'm still learning, and sucking, but so far I think poker is alright. It is more complicated than other card games I play.

[Chronomage002]

not a card player but how about you switch this to pogo. com? they have board games and stuff, like monopoly and scrabble. i think those games are funner lol- but its just an option.

Thanks for the link to get to the site.  However...

I couldn't seem to join in on a session with you guys.  Something was up, and I didn't know what.

If there's anyway to solve this, RSVP.

[DarthMagus]

Hmm... You may or may not want me to join the game. I'm a semi-pro poker player and have won a few thousand dollars worth of money playing in tournaments and casinos. Still, it'd be fun to hang with you all.

Wait, DO they have Go Fish & War...?
