Hit or Stand

insert clever way of saying "hit" here
luckily m24 and the mind electric wanted to do the same thing. i have to respond to whoever posts first
so here's your card! ....
uh... oops... i think i mixed up the decks again...
can we try that again?
hit or stand smogoff?
hit
hit easy
Hit or stand Smogoff?
the mind electric and BP elect to hit!
and hit to exactly 21! an incredible stroke of luck!
time for me to flip my card...
i flip over a 2... it's looking good for BP and the mind electric... i choose to hit this
and i get a 10. spectacular! everyone knows that on the second hand of the day you bust at 23 and not 22... it's fortunate that i got the face card i needed to beat them... better luck next time bp and the mind electric
fortunately they didn't lose any money, because the game hit or stand, despite sharing rules with the commonly played game blackjack, is not a gambling game. do you hear that smogoff? don't gamble. it's bad. i'm serious about that.
well, let's try again smogoff!

hit it again
albatross elects to hit it "like a person who hasn't finished a 4 year degree with a marijuana cigarette"
let's see what happens...
OH MY! OH MY! You got Willy Wonka's last golden ticket Albatross! This is incredible! Quick Albatross, go home and show Grandpa Joe!
While Albatross is off to Willy Wonka's chocolate factory, let's keep playing.
Now smogoff, before you make your move, think about whether there's something special you can do when your cards are the same...

wow. they don't tell most people that rule. your aunt must be a card game enthusiast.
what does smogoff want to do now? there's another thing you can do when your cards are the same...
and does anyone else want to deal their own hand? i'm willing to play any card game.
I heard from someone once that having two sevens means you can demand the dealer give you a third seven card so you can have lucky sevens. I tried it at the casino once and they just told me to leave, but this isn't blackjack so maybe it works here.
i'm gonna start my own thread
with blackja-
ah fuck
with blackja-
ah fuck
i stroll into the saloon cooly, like a man with nothing to lose that the world hasn't already tried to take from him
"this seat taken?" i ask the entirety of smogoff (bar sijih), who all appear to be sharing one seat as i gesture to the one next to it
"cardtender, gimme yer best hand, and make mine bonus mode"
my cactus-riding spurs shiver like maraccas as i straddle the seat over-easy, like a boy band heart-throb

In a flash of brilliance, mace realizes that there is one more option... you can split the double 7s
I don't really know why you'd want to do that though... you've defaced the cards and now your hand is invalid...
i wonder why mace would choose to split...
LATER
========
it's now the wee hours of the morning... many more hands of hit or stand have been played... but no money has been lost because hit or stand isn't a gambling game. don't gamble. i'm serious.
we hear steps on the hard dirt outside. we look to the entrance. a pair of boots appears under the saloon doors, dirty with the accumulation of travel, hard work, and gunslinging. a pair of boots that weren't sold by any trader in this here town. late in the night, we know that a stranger approaches.
the saloon door slides open. as we see the stranger who walks in, i pause my deal. mace puts down the whiskey. BP puts down the two beer mugs of vodka (one in each hand), and oofthequagsire puts down the shirley temple (all nonalcoholic because drinking is bad). the bouncer at the bar is unconscious on the floor. he stood up too fast. albatross is at the chocolate factory, getting a tour from caffeineboost wonka.
a fearless hit or stand player has arrived. az. and they want BONUS MODE.
BONUS MODE is aptly named. you get a bonus hand, or to be more specific, three of them. if all 4 bonus mode hands beat my hand, then you win. and if you win, you receive a minuscule fraction of what we have in the smogoff vault. in other words, you receive riches beyond belief. if you lose... ... ... let's not go into that.
az. if you play, you need to remember one thing - although you might be a stranger to this town, you're playing for everyone in smogoff here. this is about more than just one cowboy. this is for all the cowboys of the off-topic forum
so i'll ask one question - are you sure you want to play BONUS MODE?
and smogoff - do you believe in him?

i believe in az, he can overcome this challenge with raw posting power
Wow boy oh boy I sure am enjoyinng my tour of Charlies chocolate factory. I sure do hope no convenient major plot points will suddenly- oh wait, what is this?
Aha, a perfectly normal bar of chocolate with no magical properties whatsoever! Well slap me on the ass and get arrested for indecent behaviour towards a minor, what a stroke of good fortune!! Now lemme open this here bar up and lets see what we've got
Oh wow, comic sans, my favourite! Too bad I can't read, though perhaps a stranger who can read is also looking at this chocolate bar without my knowledge through undetermined means and can read what this comic sans says? And look, there are some strange cards hidden behind this bar of chocolate!
Oh dear, they appear to be covered in melted chocolate in a convenient way so as to hide any potentially 18+ content from the viewer, how thoughtful. That's pretty neat, reminds me of the casino from which I obtained this golden ticket. Maybe I should go back there after eating this bar of chocolate that definitely won't liquidise me. Ok, down the hatch it g
