Five aces, Tuulinen. Now, mind, many casinos will attempt to combat card counting by mingling multiple decks-- and I'm still not sure why standard decks are that size, anyway. It's a very odd tradition. Still, it works out; four empires, four suits for ship identification...?

Oh, uh. Pardon. Card games. You know how it is. Any excuse to compete and share brandy.

The ship identification thing-- so. I'm going to have one of my assistants locate them. It was a kitschy tool used during my SWA days to help us identify ships. You'd use cards with the silhouettes of potential opponents, their names, their weaknesses and strengths, to improve memorization.

Sort of like these, but with names and technical specifications.

Well... I have some money I can afford to lose, I guess...

For the first time since I started the conversation, he looks me dead in the eye. In his gaze are steel jackhammers, quiet vengeance, a hundred thousand orbital bombs frozen in still life.

That doesn't surprise me, Eran. I always figured you for a guy who handles his deck alone.

The best part about this thread is that the first people to jump down OP's throats were ~Gallente~. Beyond that, I'm just giggling.

This is now a WIDOT thread!

Race and ancestry are poor reasons to discard logic and reason. Also, you'll find that I am Intaki. I can, however, agree with the latter sentence in your post.

Also:

"Promethium, originally prometheum, is a chemical element with the symbol Pm and atomic number 61. All of its isotopes are radioactive"

Good thing you'll be able to afford replacement clones in bulk, hmm?

Playing strip poker with Pieter at the Pyre barracks was always a guaranteed good time. I'm fairly sure he was only there on Desi's orders though....

Don't hate because you can't afford to buy ships you can't even ~fly~ just because they look pretty, then!
Also, this is the perfect zero content thread to hijack C/D?
