Crow: there's value in entertainment!
Crow: it'll help keep morale up
Crow: and I want one.
Crow: there's no downsides!

[nihilmancy]

Hlasoh: I like having Sparks, not losing them in frivolities.

[bad_crowmance]

Crow: so give yourself a spending limit if you go
Crow: and then you have an opportunity to get MORE sparks

[nihilmancy]

Hlasoh: That's all very nice in theory, but somebody will wind up losing all of their sparks. They will be angry and despondent. The effect on group cohesion will be poor.

[bad_crowmance]

Crow: only if they have poor impulse control

[nihilmancy]

Hlasoh: Do you have good impulse control?

[ewestmarch]

E: There are thirty people on this train and only two of them have good impulse control.

[nihilmancy]

Hlasoh: Am I one of them?

[ewestmarch]

E: You don't remember this, but I saw you teleport into an evil mirror so you could be the winner of a sacrificing-yourself contest.
E: So, no.

[nihilmancy]

Hlasoh: Interesting.

[bad_crowmance]

Crow: I can handle myself!

[nihilmancy]

Hlasoh: Oh my. And here I was hoping to handle you.

[bad_crowmance]

Crow: you're CERTAINLY welcome to try

[nihilmancy]

Hlasoh: Splendid. I plan to do so quite thoroughly. But I'm still vetoing the casino.

[bad_crowmance]

Crow: fortunately, I'm stubborn and willing to keep trying

[nihilmancy]

Hlasoh: It has literally no practical application, and no small amount of risk. We can gain Sparks easily other ways.
Hlasoh: That's assuming that its even possible to create Sparks solely through wagers, which is what it would effectively be doing.

[bad_crowmance]

Crow: who said anything about creating sparks? I figured we'd just wage our own.
Crow: and a casino gives plenty of opportunity to sharpen your mind and your wits
Crow: it's an excellent tool
Crow: and it'd be fun!

[nihilmancy]

Hlasoh: Wager our own, among each other?

[desirestruth]

naeva: ...crow.

[bad_crowmance]

Crow: ♪?

[desirestruth]

naeva: you shouldn't tell lies on the strange instant communication device.

[bad_crowmance]

Crow: who's lying?
Crow: I'm serious.

[desirestruth]

naeva: crow
naeva: I say this with the utmost fondness and respect
naeva: you have the impulse control of a hyperactive squirrel

[bad_crowmance]

Crow: such little faith!
Crow: I'm hurt

[desirestruth]

naeva: i'm sure your pride will never recover
naeva: without the aide of someone attractive and willing, anyway
