BAR GAMES

While hanging about in a bar with your friends, you can play a numbers game called Lucky Louie, wagering small amounts of groats on your guessing ability.

The game can be played in any bar, and here's how it works. A player forms a game and decides what the stakes will be, between 1 and 10 groats. Two other players join the game and put up the specified stake. Each of them chooses a number greater than zero. If all the players choose different numbers, then the one with the middle number wins. If two players choose the same number, the one with the different number wins. If all three players choose the same number, the round is a draw and the stakes remain in the pot for the next round.

The command to set up a game is 'START LOUIE amount' where 'amount' is the size of the stake (between 1 and 10). 'JOIN LOUIE playername' allows two other players to join the named player's game. 'DISPLAY LOUIE' gives you a report on the game you are currently playing.

To guess a number, just type a number - if you're taking part in a louie game, it's assumed that any line you type that starts with a number is your guess. When you make your guess, your stake will be deducted. You can change your mind and put in another number, but you'll have to pay the stake again.

The winner of the round will be given the groats in the pot, up to the daily limit of 1,000ig - nobody can receive more than that amount in any one day, either by gift or winning at louie. You can keep on playing once you reach the limit, you just won't receive any more groats. However, if you buy any rounds, the amount you spend will increase the amount you can receive accordingly.

'LEAVE LOUIE' takes you out of the game; walking out of the room does the same.
