texas holdem best card game imo

ERF is better.

Texas Holdem is the best out of the gambling card games that I know. "Card game" is too general a category for me to pick one best.

Okay so nomnom is one of:
1) Town with PR which triggers on admins posting, fakeclaiming survivor for some reason - Why not just be honest, other people have already claimed having PRs which trigger on NPC posts.
2) Town fakeclaiming as some kind of gambit, - ruled out by own admission
3) Telling the truth - A possibility
4) Scum with PR which triggers on admins posting, fakeclaiming survivor to make it happen and willing to take the blame when they don't disappear. - A bold move
5) Scum fakeclaiming as some kind of pretend gambit, - similarly unlikely by own admission, they'd be trying to pretend to be doing 2 but they've ruled out 2.
6) Scum betting on Kison not showing up. -BOLD MOVE

Main possibilities are 3,4, and 6. Unless 4 is an exceptionally powerful PR which can be used before night, in all cases seems best to just get it to happen and then either 3 occurs visibly or we lynch.

In the meantime Roster needs either more votes or to answer my question of how he's doing today. Or both, depending on his answer.

Zoraster just joined the 2019 SUPP discord, in case any NPC wants to hunt him down.

There aren't any recent anything examples from me. I haven't played a game (iirc) in almost a year.

w/r/t nomnomnom, my gut is saying this is a scum play. I don't see the benefit in claiming third party here...there's just not a real positive effect from it. Just carry on, get a non-player to do your recruiting, as I did.

There's a madness to the method, dear Pine. The question isn't about you, it's about how she responds.

imagine voting a claimed survivor

that has an achievable wincon nonetheless

ngl that would be kind of sick if that's what was actually going on

@Jingle - Nah. Mastina's history with me is too complex. You're not going to get anything rational out of her about me. It drives her fucking BONKERS that she can't read me for shit.

PE: I'm not voting a claimed survivor, I'm voting someone I think is more likely to be scum than telling the truth.

You can gamble with a lot of card games. For example, I'm partial to gambling solitaire myself, and both BS and War have easily adaptations for gambling.

Not to mention Faro, which is awesome via associations despite being inherently broken.

Hold 'em be the best poker variant though.

don't forget to vote pine when my wincon gets achieved today, thank me later for the free scum serving themselves on a silver platter lmao

If it helps, my method for reading you is assume you're Jingle.

I've always liked Baseball poker.

I actually find that a bit flattering, Jingle. <3

I have never actually gambled on cards, I'm just talking about things which are stereotypically seen as gambling games.
BS has lots of variants, the variant in which the rank remains the same but you're allowed to pass is great, the variant in which the rank increases by one each player and you're not allowed to pass is not great.
War, if you're doing that just go for coin flips.
Solitaire I am not a fan of.
Faro I have never seen.

Hold 'em is better than the other common variant in which there are no common cards, but there are lots of variants of poker so I won't rule out one being better.

all survivors must die, in my experience they always side with scum, nomnom defend thyself and pledge extreme loyalty to town

Exactly.

Eh. Survivors die the day before LYLO, and are thus incentivized to scumhunt even more than regular town. The tradeoff being they pretty much can't be nightkilled.

Balance wise they're a guaranteed mislynch.

Which kind of proves my point. If nomnomnom were ACTUALLY a survivor, they gain nothing but problems by claiming it. Scum, however, can use the claim to lead investigations and other actions away from themselves, and then when endgame rolls around can say “why lynch me when you have a real threat to lynch.”

An actual survivor shouldn’t have claimed it like that, not so early with no pressure. QED, likely lying scum.

This is different to survivor though. This is survivor who has claimed to mislynch themselves without interfering with the rest of us provided we get a certain event to happen.

If it's true we don't waste a lynch. If it's a scum lie then we just lynch them after they've been proven to lie.

I have 1 scum caught dead to rights

But I'm not putting them unless I get something in return

If you're good at something never do it for free
