Don Corleone 2019

Casino de Monte-Carlo
Principality of Monaco
1963


The operative reached across the table and cut tapped the proffered deck, declining to cut it. The dealer nodded deferentially and began to deal out the cards. The operative made a show of picking up his cards and studying them, rearranging a few forward or backward. He made small talk with the baroness to his left as the round progressed, betting freely. The wealthy financial magnate across the table, who had been vying for the widowed baroness's attention all evening, made a face, and attempted to call the operative's attention back to the game. The baroness laughed and folded her hand, placing her chin in her hand in order to bat her eyes more intently at the captivating stranger. This only infuriated the magnate even more, and he bet heavily, pushing in more than the operative had available. With almost lazy confidence, the operative pushed his wager forward. "But sir!" cried the dealer, "You cannot match the bet!"

The operative thought for a moment, and slid a single, ornate key across the table. "Monsieur DelIsle, I have noticed you admiring my Aston Martin. Surely, this will cover the wager?" The magnate narrowed his eyes, suspicious at the overly-generous offer. "Yes, of course!" he snapped, reaching to turn over his cards. "Ah, but wait," replied the operative, "Now I have you overmatched. Perhaps if you added the letter in your front left jacket pocket to the pot, I would call us even."

The magnate froze, eyeing the key greedily, looking down at his cards. "Done!" he cried, withdrawing the envelope and slapping it on the table. Both men turned over their cards. "I believe," offered the operative, "That my straight flush, led by the Queen of Hearts, beats your Full House quite handily." The operative reached across and plucked up the key and letter before the magnate could withdraw it, and indicated to a porter to scoop up his winnings. "Now, if you will excuse me, I will retire for tonight."

An hour later, the casino dealer knocked on a door in the casino's hotel. The operative answered in a silk smoking jacket. "Well done, old chap. Monsieur DelIsle suspected nothing. As promised..." The operative handed over the fancy key to the dealer. Now, if you will excuse me, madam awaits. "Sir," cried the ecstatic dealer, "You haven't told me your name."

"Leaf, my boy. Flavor Leaf."

:cry: thanks, guys!

Now I get to have a banner that says “BoP Me”!

Haha, I didn’t actually expect to win this, and I don’t have time to comment in full right now.


Is this why I got omitted from being credited as a Judge? :lol:

Congratulations Flavor Leaf!

This has been a strange period in site meta imo - towns tend to find/strengthen themselves through a kind of emotional spiritual synergy and the average level of skill as scum has pretty notably been dropping off.

People who aren't scared to make Big Plays and who play the game their own way as scum are really shining atm - and I think your sheer winrate over the last 12 months really testifies to your ability to navigate this meta.

There are many moments playing with you where I'll either go "good god FL is so towny", all the way to "good god FL is scummy as hell", all the way to "goddamnit FL just do something alignment indicative so I can feel ok about my read on you already"....and your alignment is pretty much rand no matter which way I'm leaning. :P

We need to close LoserdudeOG and have him play every game to irl-ID and correctly meta read you. :lol:

Jokes & waffling aside... well deserved and congratulations. All of the DC noms this year were worth taking a serious look at. But when I think back to solid scumplay in 2019 it's always going to be a handful of players who spring to mind and you're very frontmost amongst those.
