Alice Nine Channel April 7th 2014 Part II/III
23:45-43:11
T: Hi again, that was the end of our 'set-change'. Here we have playing cards and a table
N: [not sure, skipped]
T: They are really good at thinking of lame stuff. Quite a lot to take in. Alright…this is long!! The rules are long!
T: (read) First of all, let's start with the rules of general poker. From the original 5 cards you will be given, you may exchange cards with the pile to create the combinations you want. The card of the highest value is the king with the number 13, but ace with the number 1.
T: (read) When you have 2 cards of the same value, that is considered as one pair. If you have 2 sets of a pair of cards, it is called 2-pair. For example, 1 and 1 plus 2 and 2.
T: (read) If you have 3 cards of the same value, that will be called 3-cards. Regardless of suit, if you have 5 cards with values in sequence, it is called a straight. For example, 1-2-3-4-5. If you have 5 cards of the same suit, it is called a flush. for instance, a combination with all hearts.
T: (read) If you have 3-cards and 1-pair, it is called a Full House. If you have 5 cards of the same value, that is called Four-card. [i'm simply using the pronunciation they are using instead of the actual card hands, but feel free to change that to whichever's easier to understand] If you have a hand with 5 cards in sequence of the same suit, it is called a straight flush.
T: (read) And if you have a hand with the highest value cards in sequence of the same suit, that is a royal straight flush. This PSC company poker will be one where you make various original combinations of cards.
T: (read) in front of you is a deck of cards. Instead of numbers, the names of members of bands belonging to PSC company will be written there. Use you own imagination and interpretation to create various combinations.
N: I see
Sa: This…it will be hard to tamper with the seniors…
T: That…is true
Sa: We will end up having to do something.
T: (read) Here for instance, if you have 2 vivid members in your hand, it will be 1 pair for vivid. If you have 2 hiroto cards, that will be 1 pair for hiroto. It's the 'idiotic' 1 pair.
T: (read) If you have 3 guitarists from different bands, that will be 3-cards for guitarist. If you have all members from the same band, that will be a band-flush. In addition, if you have Keiyuu from Kra, Naoki from Kaggra, Tora, Saga…you can think of this as a combination for Tokyo High Black.
Sa: i see.
T: (read) If you have cards for each role in a band, that can be a straight. [not too sure] Or you can make a 3-card combination of people who enjoys alcohol. Or make a 1-pair of the two people previously on bad terms. Feel free to use your own experiences and knowledge to create various combinations.
T: (read) Distribute the cards in whichever direction you prefer, feel free to change the order as you please. Once you have created the combination you wanted, announce stop to all others. Once someone announced 'stop', the other 2 have only 1 additional chance to exchange cards.
T: (read) If you think your hand is weak, you will be the first to show your hand and explain the combinations you made. the person who announced stop will show your hand last. You will decide the winner of the round by considering the network of the people and their power relationships as well as the creativity of the combinations.
T: This is going to be difficult.
Staff: Because power relationships are involved.
T: Yes because of the power relationships. (read) So let's start off with tora being the dealer and start the game by distributing the cards. During the exchange of cards, you can change 2 cards each time in order of turns.
N: Okay i see.
T: Let's take a look….This is untidy though look at this! The handwriting is untidy. It's awful. Well, see everyone's here. Hmm, isn't this the Joker, Yasuno-san [from Kra]
N: Joker! Joker lol
T: Isn't Yasuno-san the Joker?
Staff: It's fine to interpret it that way.
T: Alright. Then this…there's no one else. there is no other muscle guy around. There's no way to make a muscle men 1-pair [probably talking about Iv from Vivid]
Sa: No other one…
T: Hmm. Saga-kun you're in here.
Sa: So i am
T: They made sure to write all the roles there, like guitar etc. that's easy to understand. So maybe we can pull this game off. Ah. the seniors are indeed here. It's written here. Well the seniors really shouldn't be here. Just creating a combination with them involved is a stop sign.
[skipped a few]
Sa: Well it will be fine if no one leaks the information through Twitter. But people talk…
T: Ah this part is scary. I don't even want to read them…I will avoid bringing them out. Alright I got it. Shall we try this out? So first i have to cut the deck.
N: That's right.
T: Though i don't understand the meaning of it. I don't know what is the proper way. But will this even be fun?
Sa: So if we don't go beyond the basics…we probably won't get any laughs.
N: We have to use our own knowledge and imagination
T: But everyone we are in a fictional universe.
N: lol make that clear from the start. This is fiction.
Sa: Even though it's a card game, do not imitate [not too sure]
T: These are all simply imagination. We are all imagining things together. So how do i distribute these?
N: One card to each person
T: Until each person gets 5 cards right?
Sa: hopefully we get good cards
T: Alright! It's scary.
Sa: Let's take a look.
T: Uahhhhhh!
N: Ahhh i don't knowwwwww
T: This….impossible! This is hard…
N: Wait a sec
T: wait a sec…this is difficult
N: Hey, i don't know how.
T: I need some courage here. [not too sure]
Sa: oh, maybe i can make this work.
N: I don't know how….
T: i'm gonna change…So first, these 2 cards. I'm exchanging 2 cards. And i get to take 2 cards from here.
T: Ohhh! I see it I see it! I can see it now. One more card. Am i only able to change once?
Sa: I'm exchanging 2 cards.
N: I'm changing 2 cards
T: Wait…
Sa: Really?!
N: changing 2 cards
T: I'm changing 1 card
N: how many times can we change cards?
Staff: until someone says stop.
T: I am gonna change one more. You can change as many times as you want?
Sa: Something great is happening here
T: I think i might land it. I can keep changing cards until I get it? I'm lacking only one card but i think that's harder.
N: I got it! Stop!
Staff: One more exchange.
T: One more change.
T: Ahhh if i have one more change then that will change my situation.
Sa: The card I last took is a little…off
T: I'm really troubled here.
Sa: Ahhh no way…this person?
T: alright I'll change. Ahhh it didn't come!
N: Also there's the role right?
T: I was trying to aim for that person. The role i was trying to aim for was off so…
Sa: Me first? I just show the hand here right? Me - Me - Naoki - Naoki . It was fine until here, then Yasuno.
T: Yasuno is the Joker.
N: He's the joker!
Sa: really?!
N: He can become anything!
Sa: ohh! really?!
N: he can be anything.
Sa: Alright!!!
T: Nice!
Sa: This is amazing.
T: Plus the roles pretty much fit.
Sa: Yeah. At first I had Reika.
N: this is pretty amazing.
T: For mine, I was in a tight dilemma. First…this is quite amazing. First Kai-san, then Uruha-san. Yeah until now. then after that, Aoi-san came.
Sa: Woo! Nice one.
T: Then i thought, maybe i can go for it. Since I'm in a row here. But for some reason, I came. Then i look at this…Hey! These are all in single-Kanji! So i thought maybe i can do that. but the next that came was Yura-san. So this ends up being….single Kanji-4 card?
Staff: Or all members' name being in Kanji
T: ohh. that's also true. Okay, so nao-san.
N: So is straight a sequence of values? Flush? Oh straight. This is a straight.
T: A straight hand.
N: Here i go. Uruha-Aoi- Shou-Shou-Reno. This is Online-gamer Straight~
Sa: I see. True, they all play a lot of it.
N: It's the online gamer Straight.
T: I wonder if this information is okay to publicize. With the seniors here as well.
N: Well this is fiction
Sa: In the past our vocalist used to be invited to play with Aoi and Uruha. I don't know about now.
T: Right, reno-kun also played online games.
N: I heard Reno-kun got really good at the guitar when he practiced the guitar while waiting for people to come online. While he's wondering "Who's gonna come today", he's practicing. While online. while waiting lol.
Sa: He doesn't sound like a popular guy at all.
T: That is so otaku-ish
Sa: He really is…
T: So how should this be…
Sa: Whose hand is the strongest.
T: In terms of the roles…maybe Saga-kun's?
Sa: Cos i have 2 Naoki.
N: Especially if you have a Notti [Yasuno] in the hand it's a strong hand…
T: because he's the joker. So this time, it will be Saga-kun! We are getting familiar with this.
Sa: I'm starting to get the hang of it.
T: Am i still the dealer?
N: Go in clockwise direction?
T: Right clockwise. So Nao-san. Distribute please. Ah this is nerve-wrecking
N: Shuffling
T: oh not bad. Are you really mixing them well
N: Eh? I'm mixing them. Let's do this.
T: Difficult game…Start the card distribution from Nao-san
N: Okay i'm distributing.
T: Though i barely play poker
N: Okay, now everyone has 5 cards. Okay in the same order.
T: This…
N: Ahh i don't know
T: This is impossible…
Sa: this…should i try it out?
N: eh me…
T: Listen to what we said!
N: Okay here i go. I'll change 3 cards.
T: Changing 3 cards.
N: I got my 3 cards.
T: oh me next? I'm changing 2 cards. The minute I change my cards, i have to think what to do next..
Sa: changing…
T: Everyone might be aiming big…
N: Can i still change? Alright 2 cards
T: I guess we can still exchange cards
Sa: Ahh! I got it!
N: what did you get?
T: Anyway I'm changing 2 cards. Ah this came? it's different from what I'm hoping for me. Now I can't form a combo…
N: I'm gonna stop.
T: only one try left? What to do? The combo i was aiming for didn't come. Ahh not working.
Sa: I'm going…
T: This is impossible..
Sa: no…no..maybe…
T: This time i think I'm not gonna make it.
T: So first Saga came. Then Reika came. Then Ryoga. I thought at this rate, i can just say these guys are the erotic ones in their individual bands. Then…Yura-san came…but maybe i thought he can someone pass as an erotic guy as well. But the last one who came…is the muscle guy.
Sa: Ah the muscle guy
T: The muscle guy…
N: Well these 2 can be the muscle men 1-pair.
T: Ah musclemen 1-pair
Sa: Also, only he is a guitarist.
T: It's close, but I'll go with the musclemen 1-pair
N: Muslcemen 1-pair and the 3 who are erotic.
T: lol Full house! Full house in that sense.
Sa: alright i'm next. Here [Koki] came. Then [Reno] came. [Reno] came quite a lot. Then [Tora] came. It's all fine up till here. These 3 are the ones with big crotches. So i was thinking that…then [Nao] came!
N: What?!!
Sa: Then even worse…again [Yasuno]
N: But he's a joker.
Sa: Joker…but…
T: he can be anything.
Sa: So i went for the 3 big-sized ones and….these 2…
T: But [Yasuno] can be both the big or small type.
N: Lol that's right.
Sa: Joker…
Staff: If not Nao-kun or yasuno, then who will be a good one.
Sa: Ahh maybe…since it's already like this, i guess someone with a similar size as Nao will be okay.
T: That will end up being a full house.
N: I see
Sa: [Yasuno] is an unknown rank so I'm not sure. Or i can make it like this. I don't know. I'm not so good at this.
T: But this can be a full house.
Sa: Well i guess
[skipped a few lines]
N: Okay? Here i go. First, Kai-san. Then Aoi-san. I'm gonna leave a gap first. then Aoi-san. Then Ruki-san! And last of all! Reika~ out of place flush.
T: [Reika] has a lot of pressure!
Sa: he's caught in between like this…
T: That is scary…
Sa: I'd hate that.
T: This is certainly the right way to arrange the cards.
N: I know right
Sa: that is out of place.
T: especially with 2 of 'him' [I think?] And this is right about the formation of a band.
N: that's right.
T: This program is scary…
Staff: So who's the winner
T: It can only be Nao-san here.
N: Oh! Yes i win!
T: We can't compete with this. Plus if otherwise Reika can't 'rest in
peace'. Okay next Saga-kun deals.
