Primordial Poker...


<Order>  Is each here?  Does each have his opposite?
<Chaos>  I am here, but my opposite is you.
<Order>  Huh?
<Evil>   Don't let him bug ya'.  We're here.
<Truth>  My opposite is not here.
<Good>   Is your opposite "Lies"?
<Truth>  My opposite is "Void".  He couldn't make it.
<Evil>   >snicker<  Figures!
<Order>  Agh! How are we going to seat five! This table is made for six!
<Evil>   Just take out his chair and move over.  Sheesh!
<Good>   I have the cards.
<Evil>   I've got the chips.
<Truth>  I have the beer.
<Chaos>  I have the cards!
<Order>  Shut up.

 ...

<Order>   Whose deal is it?
<Evil>    Do ya' gotta ask that EVERY time?
<Truth>   It is Good's deal.
<Good>    OK, five card draw...uh, everything is wild.
<Evil>    How can anyone win if everything is wild?
<Good>    No ONE can win, but we all can call ourselves winners if...
<Order>   I like this game.
<Evil>    This is pointless.
<Truth>   It is time to deal.
<Good>    Here we go! Your bet, Truth.
<Truth>   Five.
<Order>   Five and raise you five.
<Evil>    Don't you morons get it?  It doesn't matter how much you bet!
<Order>   I like ten better.
<Evil>    >sigh<  Call.
<Chaos>   I fold.
<Evil>    YOU CAN'T LOSE!
<Chaos>   I still fold.
<Good>    OK, I'll call.  How many, Truth?
<Evil>    What's the point in taking more cards?
<Truth>   I will keep the cards I have.
<Order>   I will take two.
<Evil>    Why?!?
<Order>   I didn't like those.
<Evil>    None for me.
<Chaos>   I'll take six.
<Good>    Sorry, you folded.  Dealer keeps his.  Bets?
<Evil>    Oh, just get this over with.
<Order>   But now we have to bet!
<Evil>    Any money you put in, you're just gonna get back!
<Truth>   I am in agreement with Evil. Let us show our cards. I have 
          five aces.
<Order>   I have five ace of spades.
<Chaos>   I have a three.
<Good>    Please be quiet.  I also have five aces.  We all win.
<Evil>    Hold it, bub.  Six aces, read'em and weep.
<Good>    Where did you get that card?
<Truth>   He stole it from Chaos.
<Evil>    You know the rules, boys.  The pot's mine.
<Good>    That was a stupid game.
<Order>   Whose deal is it?
<Truth>   The dealer progression is opposite the deal.  Chaos deals.
<Chaos>   Whee!
<all but Chaos>   >groan<
<Chaos>   Eleven card stud-hold'em with threes, eights, jacks, and kings
          wild...fives count as fours, fours count as nines, and queens 
          don't count unless there is a prime numbered spade showing...
<Order>   I fold...
