Okayeeeee
So, on that same forum post: I suggested Omaha 'Hi/Lo' as a new game; which IS a game that has 'community' cards. Absolutely NO ONE responded to my suggestion!
I followed that suggestion with a NEW post; suggestng AND explaining a game called: Pineapple; which, also has 'community' cards. Only ONE response and that was from a friend. Other than her; it was rather like walking through a cemetery, w/o knowing anyone there; soooooo quiet - the silence was deafening!
On one hand, I'm told -> "y'all want to add new games; you want to improve the site (YOUR words, not mine), and you want to keep or increase the site's excitement and interest level". Then, I'm told; "You're too busy". You can't have it both ways, my dears. IF you truly desire player involvement {suggestions/ideas/comments}; it may be wise to occasionally, acknowledge someone, when they're merely trying to help.
I am NOT making the preceding up ... on three separate occasions, I've been asked by admins [three different ones] if I had or have ANY ideas to help the site, or new games, or whatever.........; if so, please write a forum post. Well, my dears, HERE I AM, once again!
I will try ONE last time; suggesting another game I've played ... yes, I can hear you now -> "ho-hum, BORING!!!!" Am I right?
This game is called 'Think'. May even engender a new experience, who knows.
Keeping it simple, AND within the 'apparent' ground rules: it DOES have common cards. In fact, the learning curve is minimal; shouldn't be too much of a stretch for most; as it is IDENTICAL to Omaha with one, teeny, weeny, itsy bitsy, minor exception; maybe two, but who's counting?
Each player is dealt five hole cards [thats one more than what is dealt in Omaha]. That's for you math-challenged folks, out there. THAT"S change #1.
The remainder of the cards dealt is identical Omaha or even, Hold 'em: 3 cards [flop], 1 card [turn], and 1 card [river].
Pretty simple, huh?
OOPS
Oh, silly me! I danged near furrgot to mention the OTHER change. YEP, I did say there were TWO exceptions [changes] to Omaha.
You ready? You sitting down? Think you can 'handle' change in your, oh soooo complicated life?
Here it comes -> each player MUST play [use] three [3] cards from their hand [hole cards]!!
Now, this site has two owners, whatever???; that I am aware of, AND about 37,000 admins and helpers - so, if ONE of y'all could deign to say -> "Julie, what an absolutley stupid idea" ... well, at least I could get a modicum of comfort knowing SOMEONE reads these things!
