Wolf: Why in the world would we need a bar or a casino?

[ewestmarch]

E: We can't just rely on sparks to heal everything. What if the system goes down again? We need real medical facilities.

[desirestruth]

naeva: the idea probably has to do with morale
naeva: but i dont know if its entirely responsible to use such a thing

[desirestruth]

naeva: it occurs to me to ask
naeva: what exactly is a casino

I am on mobile, i don't wanna format text right now

[bad_crowmance]

Crow: c'mon, casino...!

[ewestmarch]

E: Place you go to gamble.

[ewestmarch]

E: None of us have money.

[bad_crowmance]

Crow: we have sparks. Sparks can be used to purchase goods and services.
Crow: that's LIKE having money.

[nihilmancy]

Hlasoh: No.

[desirestruth]

naeva: you need a place for that?

[bad_crowmance]

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

[desirestruth]

naeva: crow, no

[bad_crowmance]

Crow: I hear what you're saying
Crow: but have you considered "crow YES"?

[nihilmancy]

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

[desirestruth]

naeva: not even once
naeva: why do you need a specific place to gamble anyway
naeva: buy a deck of cards and dice off the shop and play

[bowtiedbones]

Eliza: gym! gym!! GYM!!!

[bad_crowmance]

Crow: sure I could do that
Crow: but a casino offers a centralized location for equally interested parties to meet and play
Crow: not just the ones I know
Crow: and should have more of a variety of options

[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: After some games you want to get drunk.

[desirestruth]

naeva: I feel like all these options provide opportunity to meet people
naeva: how many options do you need to lose at gambling anyway

[bad_crowmance]

Crow: yes but meeting to PLAY. key word!
Crow: three minimum? I have no upper limit
Crow: and I don't intend to lose

[ewestmarch]

E: Why?
E: Wait, I'm getting deja vu.

[bowtiedbones]

Eliza: exercise is important! the fighters need to keep up their practice! activity reduces cabin fever! i want to go running without having a monster come at me!
Eliza: gym!!!

[ewestmarch]

E: It's not a bad point. I also want a library some day. Being trapped is boring.

[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.
