I have an idea.

Poker

With all of this lockdown and self isolation going on, I wondered if our fabulous tech crew could engineer a poker game for us?
NOT talking about playing for money.  Instead, free chips.  Happy points even?
Obviously, I don't know how difficult or complicated this would be, but if we're not playing for actual money, that should make it easier, no?  Absolutely no money or bank account details! Would we still need a gaming licence?   Do we need to tell anybody about this?      Private club???

If this worked out here, on our board, maybe we could pass this on to some of our rivals and have a proper, (uhem, friendly), competition??

I'm not looking to turn this into a "gaming" site.  As some of you know, I love plaiyng poker and play online.  For FREE chips.  There is no gaming site that has my bank details and that is NOT what I am suggesting.
What I am suggesting is a poker game/tournament, where all us Caps fans can come together, those who are interested, have a fun game and chat.
Stay connected.

If it becomes popular, maybe it could be expanded.  If not, maybe just kept for the few that are interested... if any.....
Just passing the time and keeping in touch.  Keeping spirits active and connected.
Like I said... just an idea..........

it would probably be easier for everyone to go to a site that's already set up to play poker

Yeah.  ButR then it wouldnT be OUR site

Yeah.  ButR then it wouldnT be OUR site   

Pretty sure you could set private setting for a tourney in one of the sites already up there.


NOT that I'm an expert, but you could start a game and then invite peeps.


NOT that I would play....timing and home internet suckage would prolly keep me out.  I spent enough time at work - my wife would kill me if she knew I was here playing online poker 

[Surreylily]

So that' a yes then..........

 

[Surreylily]

what Rich said is probably the easiest thing to do, but wait to see what ArJ says, it’s his baby and he’s the programmer

ummm.  I think you'll find it's my baby....

[alta]

ummm.  I think you'll find it's my baby....

yea, I mean this website, he’s the one that has to make that kind of change, and this site might not support what you want to do

[Surreylily]

Does that mean ou're up for it/

[Surreylily]

IF it;s possible......
it was just n idea.

[Surreylily]

Oh come on!   it was bloody good idea

[richkrt99]

Someone should probably rename this thread....

"The dedicated boredom thread for Lil  "




 

[alta]

not a bad idea at all, just sayin I doubt this software would support it

[richkrt99]

Oh come on!   it was bloody good idea

Haven't you heard?  Only Trump's ideas are good ideas 


This is what you call intentional derailing and politicizing of your thread.  Or thread terrorism. 


My boredom thread got too political...so I'd thought I'd share. 




And I'm only teasing.  I'm not really trying to wreck your thread....or Pooing on your idea either.


In all seriousness...Wishing health and happiness upon you Lil

I am not aware of any tools aimed at designing games such as poker or gambling on this forum software.  I have neither the time or inclination to write code for something as complex as that would require.


There is WAY too much exciting and stunning news happening at a pace no human can keep up with, but I try; and I almost never watch any mainstream FAKE NEWS BTW.

Something huge is going down and we are witnessing the greatest events to ever happen in our lifetimes IMO.  Did an of you catch Steve Bannon's vicious attack on Henry Kissinger a couple days ago. He actually promised with every fiber of his body that they were coming to take him down for a lifetime of crimes against humanity. He went on taking sharp aim at Kissinger for more than 2 minutes and he indicated that Kissinger was just a part of the take down.  Henry Kissinger was one of the first people I identified back around the time I was on staff at the World Bank as  one of the most evil and dangerous people on the planet.

President Trump is also making very mysterious comments about grave threats to humanity, but they seem to be worded in such a way they could be taken as related to the virus or possibly something else.  So much more to say, but I need to focus as I try to decode the fire hose of information flowing at the moment.  It's like everything I ever hoped to see in my lifetime is about to come to pass.

For the last three days the hair on my arms has been standing on end as I sense something huge is going on behind the scenes as this silent WAR continues.

Poker, or any games (even hockey) are the furthest thing from my mind right now.

Pay close attention and it should be obvious that something huge is taking place. We are and have been at WAR for decades in America and people are only recently beginning to finally realize the danger.

I highly recommend you stock up on supplies, food, water, guns, ammo, fuel, medicines, etc. while you can. Now way to tell how bad it will get before it gets better, and it is NOT the Covid-19 virus I am concerned about. I am concerned about the potential damage caused by the massive silent WAR of which Covid-19 is but a pawn in.

Stay safe!
