The rules for VSWP are being gathered on the wiki, here: http://wiki.loadingreadyrun.com/index.p ... card_Poker
I'm writing the core of the rules right now, and then welcome further additions to supplement and complement those rules. Maybe give me a bit to get the core game finalized before going in and editing too much stuff.

Another inconsistency
I was just listening to the podcast, and thinking about how Jer said there was a glaring inconsistency. I then decided to pause it and go watch the video to try to pick it out myself.
The good news for Jer? I didn't notice him in the glasses?
The bad news? There's ANOTHER glaring inconsistency.
Watch the poker chip stack for Lamont.
Not only does it keep changing the orientations of the colour stacks throughout the fill, but some of the spilled chips are removed after the first scene (right where Lamont picks up his hand).
Tsk tsk.

I'm an okay poker player (which is actually something I picked up, thanks to Wil Wheaton) and I thought it was pretty funny. I wonder if this is something that could help LRR get viral again, like the "Talk Like a Pirate" videos did. Hell, Phil Gordon's a computer science guy... maybe he'd like 'em?

Are you talking about the 'Gargle' play? As far as I remember, that's the last thing he says in the video. I'll go watch it again.

To Lamont, under the announcers. No audio.
Consider this signature a museum piece, since I love it and am unlikely to change it ever.

I think we'll all understand when we see it played in real life with the full rules.

With any luck, I plan to have a go at a trial game in the next couple weeks, using only a standard deck. If I manage to wrangle enough people together to do this, I will of course film it and put it up for review. Depending on where it happens, I may even be able to stream it.

Well it would be a full game of several rounds, and a test of the basic system that's been set up so far. Once we get the hang of the basic ruleset we can start adding expansion decks.

Yeah there's no audio, I'm trying to figure it out by lip reading which I really suck at xP.
On a side note, I played poker with my friends during lunch today because we were that bored and I started mentioning random terms from this and they looked at me like I was insane. It was actually pretty funny.
This signature is mediocre.

Worst Case Scenario (if that doesn't work): we get a few forum members together and run it like a mafia game. One person as dealer, using a real deck of cards. They PM the individual hands to the other players, and then post the community cards.

Usually I can compose myself, but this video destroyed me.

Re: Poker Before Dusk
I'm having trouble understanding why the Pot went to ???? upon the play of the Memory Card Containing Compromising Photos of Gandhi and One of His Followers.
If Desmond was seeing Franklin's Chicken, then that means the value of the Memory Card Containing Compromising Photos of Gandhi and One of His Followers was equal to the value of the Chicken, which was $2000.
This means that both the Chicken and the Memory Card Containing Compromising Photos of Gandhi and One of His Followers would be $2000, leaving the pot at $9000.

Re: Poker Before Dusk
Unless he raised. Or the value of the memory card is indeterminate (at least until blackmail is attempted), but mutually agreed upon to be greater than or equal to $2000.

Are you actually trying to apply logic to VSWP? Logic?!
