The home of Gridlock. Just playing for a short time will dazzle you and possibly make you feel fairly light headed. If anyone wants to join Gridlock comment on a post below and we'll sign you up Phil & James

Hmm well today at school I cleared the house in both games of Poker we played. No one else would play grid-lock though....

On a lighter note, quiet man Luke was going on about Whale dicks being 12 foot long and basically told the whole room 10 times, oh and also we were informed they have 1 ton balls.

Back to Gridlock, the gambling rules will be up soon when me and Phil think of them and make sure they work well.
Have fun with the images of whales you now have in your head...

oooh yeah, card values...

Cards 2-10 = 2-10 respectively.
Ace = 11
Jack/Queen/King = 10

suits have no values, although sometimes i want to throttle Dave for saying Hearts > Spades, when surely Spades > Hearts > j00.

>_<

ps Dave is a f00l

so in a nutshell:
•Freeflow(24) is the best thing to get, although...
•Abdul(6) beats Freeflow.
•Petroc(33) beats Abdul, as long as nobody has Freeflow.
•Gridlock(Even sum) is an automatic loss, but only on a three card combo (so someone can win on lets say, 18, with two cards).
•Anti-Gridlock[unconfirmed name](Odd sum) with all players means the highest value holder wins.

some other day i will post extra rules for betting on Gridlock, but for now, i'm revising for my Stats exam tomorrow (*coughbullshitcough*)

"indeed i am." said the pig....

i'm bored in a free period and i'm stuck next to some wierd girl, who hates me. but now she doesn't O.o
so now i am going to post the rules to gridlock™.

Rule 1. You do not talk about gridlock.
Rule 2. You DO NOT talk about gridlock....

wait a minute, that's fight club...
ok..
1. Each player starts off with 2 cards.
2. Start off left of the dealer.
3. Each player adds up the value of thier cards.
4. The players request to take one card from the dealer, and only one.
5. If the sum of the three cards is an even number, the player gets gridlock and has automatically lost.
6. If the sum of the three cards is an odd number, the player is still in the game.
7. If the sum of the three cards totals up to 24, the player gets Freeflow and has the best chance of winning.
8. If the sum of the three cards is 6 (three 2's), the player gets Abdul, and can beat a Freeflow.
9. If the sum of the three cards is 33 (three Aces), the player gets Petroc, but cannot beat an Freeflow for some reason :-/
10. If everyone has an odd number sum of their cards, the player with the highest value wins.
11. It is optional for a player to choose if he wants a card or not, so you can still win on a 2-card combo...
12. Abdul can only win if another player has a freeflow- then Abdul wins outright, if no one has a freeflow Abdul counts as a pathetic score of 6.

that's about all that needs to be covered about the game.

Credit goes to Sam Allaby for coming up with the name Freeflow. everything else is mine and Grant's work.

after many hours of intense waiting for the modem to work, i'm finally on, well infact i'v just been watching TV, oh, and i also got the amazing pic of the D-Man from the amazing Half-Life™ and i intend to put it on my school account's desktop for fun, just as long as the D-Man (Mk II (Damion(sp?))) doesn't foil my plan of uploading from a disk.

phew, what a long sentence, praise the lord for punctuation, or maybe mr punctuation, whoever got there first we do not know, or maybe one of the participants do....

anyways, yes, i'm here now with my amazing account and sooner tonight, or maybe tomorrow, i shall be posting the official rules to Gridlock-Possibly the best card game in Poynton. i canny be arsed at the moment due to stress of uploading halflife to a 200mHz/16-mb ram wankamatron computer, and then having to wait on the monorail intro and waiting 30 seconds for each section to load, people shall pay for this, soon enough they shall...

-Phil out.

Phil can't get on his account yet so this is him:
Greetings fellow bloggers, the D-Man has disabled cookies on the school network so i can't create my account yet, but soon... >_>

So anyways, how about those rainbow suspenders? Pretty cool way to keep up your pants, eh?

-Phil out.

Yay Phil has now been added to the team so very soon he will post some shite...
