Who's down for a weekly session of Greedy Pig?

[CallieO]

Callie Volopa is seeking several other players to take part in weekly sessions of the Belariath dice game, Greedy Pig, after-hours at her restaurant for money. Maybe just low-stakes. We're not out to bankrupt one another. I hope to make this a weekly recurring social event, perhaps taking part on Sunday afternoons (Eastern time), with mostly the same crew every week, but with the potential for people to rotate in and out as needed.

Food and drink will be cheerfully provided by the restaurant at no cost.

[Shiho]

One of my chars would like to join. Assuming Shiho

[Aeoles]

Aeoles might be interested, so I will keep an eye out!

[BlackDawn]

That sounds like fun! I'd like for Dawn to join, unless I'm working. Though, I can also bring other chars of mine to this.

[CallieO]

I haven't forgotten about this. What say we have our first game at 2 o'clock Eastern time on this coming Sunday, May 29?

[CallieO]

Thank you to everyone who showed up and made our first Greedy Pig game such a success!

This coming Sunday is the first night of the Blood Swan Moon, and I don't want to counter-program against it, especially because I want Tenni to participate in it for the third year in a row. So, our next Greedy Pig game will be a week from this coming Sunday, June 12, at 2 p.m. Eastern time. (That's 8 o'clock for those of us joining us by way of The Netherlands.) I hope to play at least four games, for low stakes.

I have plans this coming Sunday and a week from Sunday, so let's plan to have our Sixth Greedy Pig Dice Game session, and our Second Tournament, on Sunday, July 24, at 2 pm Eastern.

Just like in our previous Tournament, we will have three 50-point Qualifying Matches. Each qualifier will advance to the Final Table for an 80-point match, and attempt to win the Grand Prize Package. There is no entry fee.

I'm going to start working on building a prize package. If anyone wants to contribute money, items, or vouchers, please see me!

I now have a real-life job, so I can't promise these with regularity anymore, but so far, my boss has not seen fit to work me on Sunday afternoons.

So, I hope to present our Fourth Greedy Pig Tournament on Sunday, November 13, 2022, at 2 p.m. Eastern!

The first three games will be Qualifying Games played to 50 points, with a "Lucky Goblin" limit of 30 points for everyone's first turn. That means that if you reach or slightly exceed that score on your first turn, you must bank. The winners of the three qualifying games will advance to the Winner's Table for a chance at the Grand Prize. The Winner's Table will be an 80-point game, with a "Lucky Goblin" limit of 48 points for the first round.

For new players, this is a great way to get at least *some* guaranteed cash, as everyone who participates will get at least 50 mhl. 50 mhl will buy you a halfway decent weapon or plenty of clothes!

Grand Prize:

200 mhl, donated by Callie Volopa
Voucher for a CVC Banquet (estimated retail value 250 mhl)

Second Prize:
