Because we have no exchangeable currency?

Crow: You can trade sparks!

[schrodingerscockroach]

That'd be pretty counter productive for the whole bonding thing.

[bad_crowmance]

Crow: How do you figure? A little bit of competition is a great way to breed friendships.

[schrodingerscockroach]

Because it's very easy to not bond during casino games, especially slot machines, and there are plenty of people on board who already act like they'd rather be tortured than try bonding with a person.

[bad_crowmance]

Crow: You know, I'm beginning to get the impression that you just personally don't like casinos.

[schrodingerscockroach]

Most of their games sound dull. At least poker requires some actual reading of your opponent. Everything else relies far more heavily on chance.

Slot machines, you pull a lever.

Blackjack can take a little strategy if you can count cards, but that's also technically cheating.

Things like roulette or wheels or rolling dice, it's all about odds, but the odds never change from what they are originally. You can choose what has the best odds, but there's no way to influence the game other than that. Without cheating.

The only really fun thing about casinos is winning big, but most of the games don't even require you actually playing against your opponent. Just their luck.

There's a lot more fun games out there that would actually require genuine interactions with your opponent.

[bad_crowmance]

Crow: See, that's where we're never going to agree on this. Because I think those games are a lot of fun and I also honestly believe that the opportunity for competition would be a great way to get people at least talking to each other.
Crow: What I don't understand is WHY you can't see it that way, but it sounds kinda like it's just a fundamentally different way of thinking.

[schrodingerscockroach]

Mostly because I've been here four days and there's several people where it feels like trying to talk to them is like running into a brick wall.

There's a lot more games that actually encourage interaction instead of just letting chance do it's thing.

[bad_crowmance]

Crow: Pretty sure I'M the one talking to a brick wall right now.
Crow: Whatever, I'm just gonna keep trying for it anyway.

[schrodingerscockroach]

How does one have a friendly competition with a slot machine then?

[bad_crowmance]

[schrodingerscockroach]
