My family always played poker (and Sheepshead) at family gatherings like reunions and holidays so I started playing poker when I was like eight years old and they'd let me (we played for nickles and quarters).
In this game you need very high (100-130+) gambling to make playing at Furry's reliably profitable. You can break even some of the time with a 40 or so, but not much better than that.
This character has a 35 INT.
I was referring to something about the event engine where you play games on the Ensys or something and can get INT boosts. I've never managed to get one myself, but I've read of others doing so here and on the Discord. I was wondering if you knew how to do that.
You can get academic and science points at Furry's fairly regularly, but I don't remember ever getting an INT point. I don't want to spend the resources to do the classes or books until I can get more out of them than the minimum, which is what a 35 gets you as I recall.
Can we trade families? lol!
Not sure about the "Ensys-bonus-Intel" thing---usually by the time I got that far (um, BAD LUCK TV broke cost $300! etc) need 150+ days *AND*, very good income!
Gambling: WOW! no wonder very rarely won! 100-130+!!! [so I'm guessing--->>> GET RICH (some other way) -->> then *LOOSE* a TON while inc stats?] Obviously, *NOT* a workable early-game-strat.
I can look it up in code. Do you have good income *AND* LR upgrade *AND* Ensys? [everything costs $$$ again!]
Can't think of a (PUBLIC/NON-CHEATING [not ME either]) run where got that in <100 days!
fancy suppers/dinners, R fun, but again, 1 more thing $$$!
35 Int is----far as I know----beyond salvage. Most MAX gains are like 55-60+, & it could *EASILY* take you 200+ "days" to try to get that far!
[um, is that why Hunters R stupid & shoot like u know, PEOPLE & stuff?!?

Will also make it much harder to TRAIN girls!
(I'm betting your "T2" is your "ace in the hole" that pulls you through!) How make $? combat?
