Entropia Poker

Well its said that Entropia isnt really gambling,
And I do agree. Well, you can make it gambling if you want it to be.

I love Texas Hold 'em.
I only discovered it a year ago or so. I mean, Ive always known about it, I just never played it properly. 

AngelHenx thought it would be a good idea to combine entropians with proper gambling. So he set up a weekly tournament on www.betway.com.

Wednesdays 19:00 MindArk time, 
10+1$ Buy-In
You find it under "Scheduled Tournaments - Special",
Name: Entropia Poker (of course!)
Password... well, only allowed for entropians ;) Check EntropiaForum!

Just did my first tournament yesterday. And well, I got a crap start. But it was pretty fun, still! Ill definatly be there next wednesday -if I can!

I survived Battle Royale!

Thats right. 

After a intense hour of alliances, backstabbing, planning and paranoia I stood as the sole survivor, after Diana Gluepot managed to blow herself up in the attempt of taking me out. 

And I did it without killing anyone.

To be fair, I didnt win it solo. I was in a alliance. With Da, from coat Killers. It seemed we both thought the other one was the natural selection for a alliance, and upon forming that alliance it seems we made a statement to people wanting to take us out. A simple statment: dont. 

The Story

It was a gloomy sunday night when we arrived to Zychion Citadel. Me and Da headed out to scout for a good place to start and defend, depending on what weapons we got. Unfortunally, I had only been given a lousy kitchenknife, a ClerickDagger 3A... Da, on the other hand had gotten 5 shots with a 250rocketlauncer, and a S30 pistol. The pistol wasnt much, but at least it was ranged.

So our weapons didnt correspond very well.

However we found that the overpass highway was the best place to stay. Concidering people only had one way in, and we had two ways out. It was a great spot for defending. -Not to mention we could launch rockets at anyone incoming.

Ido and Diana Gluepot joined our alliance. We quickly grew very wary on Diana -we knew she was holding some weapon which she didnt show us.  And she had shogun armor -which my blade would be pretty much useless against. Either way we let them stay.

The first attack on us came from Ozi and friends. Ozi, highly skilled with a ML-35 was a huge threat. But Da managed to launch some rockets in their faces -and they fled. 

When the speaker reported that only 8 of us was left, we decided to leave the overpass. And went down to battle the rest. Ido fell, but me, Diana and Da were left in final three. So we started chasing Diana, from each our side.
And them it went "BOOM".

Her secret was out. She had been holding rockets all along. She managed to kill Da and she had under 1 hp left herself. But she wasn't completely dead. All I'd have to do was touch her with my knife.

But I never got that far. After chasing her for a while, she ran into a building and tried to shoot me through some debris. But she hit the debris, and the rockets blew up in her face.

And I was standing there going HUH!?

So.. I won.
