When We're Rollin Through the Wild Wild West

Who: Everyone! EVERYONE!
Broadcast: IF YOU WANNA
Action: Everywhere! EVERYWHERE!
When: Mid-September - Mid-October

[How's your ship doing, pardners? Is it still pretty damaged? Is it glitching out hardcore? Well, there is one place to land to take care of all that, and that's on a dusty old moon in front of a planet that no one wants to go to. On this moon, you'll find a civilization that looks a lot like one's stepped into a wild west movie, hardened cowpolk and mutant horses and all. Will you become a vigilante, hunting bounties and stopping gangs from doing their dirty work? Will you go exploring planetside, with a cowboy hat and a stalk of wheat in your mouth to complete the look? Good luck with that; there is no wheat. This town ain't big enough for all you flooters, but make it so! For the ratings!

In other words, it's a planet mingle! Get 'er done!]

Well, no - but I'd like to finish a game for once. [It's annoying at best, never knowing who'll win that particular round.]

At the rate these guys go, I think I'll have to wait until we're traveling again.
ino: (Cheerful.)

A game of what, exactly? Poker or something?

[ There are lots of card games, anyways!! ]
stefanged: (oh really now?)

Sometimes. Mostly, it's Egyptian War or Spoons... or BS.

[He rubs the back of his shoulder a bit nervously. Gambling isn't exactly his thing.]
ino: (Not what I wanted to hear.)

[ She hasn't heard of the last two, but ... she has heard of Egypt, through an individual she really did not care for and may or may not have put her in a Shadow Game for fun ...

So she looks a little suspicious when she asks: ]


What's ... the difference between War and Egyptian War?
stefanged: (hold on buddy)

[personal profile] stefanged 2015-10-17 06:27 pm (UTC)(link)
They're pretty different games. War can only be played with two people, whereas Egyptian War's a lot better with a crowd - but I guess you still lose in both when you run out of cards.

[He tilts his head to the side.] Honestly, the name's pretty racist, but it stuck.
ino: (I don't get it.)

[ ... Oh. She relaxes a little. ]

"Racist"? How is it racist?

[ She pauses, before tacking on: ]

Egypt isn't a country where I come from, so ...
stefanged: (well okay then)

[personal profile] stefanged 2015-10-18 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Basically, uh - the game was invented in the US, and there's not really anything Egyptian about it to begin with.

[He'd elaborate more, but there's a slightly more pressing issue for him:] Wait, it's not? Have you visited Earth before?
