As far as i understand it it doesn't matter since in both scenes, poker_party and gamble_strip_poker the participants are randomized. You can only bring your companion with you in gamble_strip_poker and in poker_party the host is one of your contacts, like with other party invites.do you mean to make it a command in the menu you can start and invite 5 contacts ? there appears to be two different poker scenes, which file were you editing?
My idea was to also enable the scene to be triggered by myself, like in the vanilla house_party where you can either get invited to randomly or you can make it with the organize_a_house_party action.
