"First things first, I suppose," Cyrus says as he reaches under his chair for a rather expansive dictionary. After a few moments of page flipping, he triumphantly slams his pointer finger on a particular word and begins to read.
"Gamble: Intransitive Verb: 1a : to play a game for money or property b : to bet on an uncertain outcome 2: to stake something on a contingency : take a chance
Transitive Verb: 1: to risk by gambling : wager 2: venture, hazard
Noun: 1a : an act having an element of risk b : something chancy 2: the playing of a game of chance for stakes"
There is a brief pause as Cyrus replaces the dictionary and takes a drink of water. When he finishes, he turns toward the players and their impartial(?) guest and observer. "I hope that clears that up for all of you. Oh, yes, Alydar shot, didn't he. In that case...."
In an explosively quick movement, Cyrus snatches the gun, points it in Alydar's direction and pulls the trigger.
*Click*
"Oh. How disappointing. And after all of that build up.... Well, I suppose that means our own brave Alydar collects the pot and Freih now bears the responsibility for the use of this gun. Well, Freih? Shoot or Pass?"
Round 3 Totals: Alydar - $1,014 Freih - $986

Oh, that's what it meant... hmm... Well, then. Maybe I had the wrong word? But I egress... er, digress.
I suppose I'll pass? Do as you will?

It seems Alydar is also content buying time. For the moment, it costs him $4. So Freih, Shoot or Pass?

This is... my last turn with the gun, right? Good. I'm PASSing. Go, Freih, and may your luck be with you.

*cough* I did make a move. And PMed you. And you read the PM. And you updated the other games... Cyrus? Normally, I'd not pressure, but since the 24-hour deadline for my move is coming up in an hour or so, I'd like to be sure nothing's wrong that I'll be penalized for... so, yep. >.<

I'm sorry for the hold up; the site stopped working while I was posting moves and I only just got back onto it. No worries, Alydar, your move is fine - no penalties. It's Freih's move. Shoot or Pass?
Round 3 Totals: Alydar - $994 Freih - $976 Pot - $30

Oh, well, I'll take themshot. After losing that much money in the other game, I'm depressed anyway, so ending up dead wouldn't be such a disaster.

The decision to shoot has been accepted and this thread is now locked.
