Words spread in hushed whispers about an underground poker tournament. A few fliers were passed around as well... looking like they were drawn up by a fifteen-year-old.

Do you think fate has it in the cards for you?

I, "M", invite all of Meranthe to a game of Hold 'Em! For a buy-in of 10.000 coins, you could make yourself some unimaginable riches!

There'll be a minimum of five players, with a maximum of eight (depending on the interest). You get 9000 chips for the buy-in (The house takes a 1000 coin cut). The game is winner-takes-all, so for a buy-in of 10.000 you could potentially make 45.000 coins with five players, or 72.000 with eight!

We'll allow a single buy-back per player, for 15.000 coins, you return with the table with 9000 (The house takes a 6000 coin cut). This could potentially double the final payout!

Interested? All you need to do is send me a letter to sign up - you must do this beforehand, of course. Participants will receive a letter informing them of their accepted entry.

Details to contact this "mysterious" M person were written below.

[Forms here! One entry per person, please.]

Exact date will be discussed with the participants.

(by the profound darkness i hope i don't fuck this up i barely do stuff like this. if you'd like to offer your help somehow i'd love to receive it)

"That could've gone a little smoother, but..."

With the game going... VERY late into the night, eventually, the winner was decided!

In a game against five others, Hela Vorraog made it out on top, winning 54.000 coins!
