Hey, everyone. I was thinking about how back home, some of the senior officers used to get together a few times a week for a poker game. It's great stress relief. Even though we don't have money here, we could figure something out. I'm open to suggestions, or we could just play for chips and bragging rights. [He doesn't know about everyone, but he's competitive enough to make bragging rights a decent motivator.] We could even call it a club, so everyone could get some of those rehabilitation points toward things we want to ask for.

Oh, and if you don't know how to play but want to learn, it's not hard. It's just a matter of practice. And who knows? You might be a natural.

Anyone interested? I was thinking we'd start in a day or two.

[He's hoping the Captain and Data (the default dealer back on the Enterprise) will be up for this, but hey. Anyone who wants to get together and have fun is fine with him. Also, it's too bad Commander Riker was only here that one day; he'd probably have gotten a game together long ago if he'd stayed.]

	Oh I'm certain the players could decide on a good "currency" to use. If you get a group together, count me in. [ okay so she doesn't normally play card games, but she does know how. ] (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Sounds like there's some interest, so now I'm going to hold you to that, doc. I have a feeling you'd be a worthy opponent for sure. Any "currency" ideas of your own? I'm open to suggestions. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It would be interesting to find out, wouldn't it? [ says the woman whose poker face has gotten use in situations such as catching a telepathic criminal and fooling government agents left, right, and center. helen, please, stop trolling and be serious. ]

Perhaps something like dominoes. We might be able to find those if we can't gather interest for chips.

[ okay so dominoes aren't the best alternative, but hey, it beats other things, right? ]

In any case, perhaps our first meeting could be to gather ideas for that and teach anyone who might not know how to play?

Good idea, Doc. I think even for people who know how to play, we should go over the rules again anyway. There's a lot of variations on poker, and who knows what could be different in other dimensions.

I'm glad you'll be joining us. Data and the Captain are on board, too. [Miiight be saying that a little on purpose. He thinks a poker game between Helen and Picard would be pretty fascinating.]

	Indeed. Always good to be certain we're all playing by the same rules. [ oh he sure does know how to reel her in now, doesn't he? she gives him a cheeky sort of smile. ] In that case, I'll certainly have to join you. I'd like to see how we measure up. [ meaning she's very interested in seeing how her poker face and jean-luc's stack up against each other. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's the spirit. [And he's glad to see his incentive worked.] When people are determined enough, it doesn't really matter what you're playing for. That's part of why I like the game. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ when it comes to jean-luc, helen is very, very easily manipulated. ] Indeed. It's one of those games you can play with anyone and for any reason and still have a good time. I certainly look forward to playing. I haven't had the chance in decades. (Reply to this) (Parent)
