Officers mess poker game

I reckon it would be great to play some poker in the officers mess using our perk points..!
It's just wishful thinking..

Well why not pass em about if you got 1000's..by playing a hand..
It's meant to be a light hearted suggestion..
I'm sure you could find people who have perked farmed off dubious ways in ma etc..but most don't..
Sometimes a chill in the officers mess might be good fun..
Don't take it too seriously.. .I'm not.

HiTech will not let people give perk points to other players. people who want to or have to quit game have asked.

+1   what other game out there has this cool feature. 

playing some cards during down time would have been historically accurate.   

If your not down with cards then maybe a game of chess?

if perk points are the issue then just add the poker.

Don't forget that sitting in the O'Club still makes you apart of the ENY.

They've had the Officers' Mess poker game for years.  Just ask Skuzzy for the link.
The great thing is you don't even need perkies since HTC already has your credit card info.
It's a lot of fun, and I think my luck is gonna to change real soon!    :D

Let the house put up a stack of perks and you play essentially video poker against the house. The perks you loose go into the house stack. Maybe limit players to winning several hundred perks and loosing the same amount along with a timer for each 24 hours to limit access to keep players from living in the O'Club playing stud.

I think that is a great idead JimmyC.  or maybe add the perk point challenge to the DA?  I will never use my perks, as bombers I'm not that patient to use them on b29s, fighters well all I can fly is a yak and I cant get that with high eny, gv perks I only use for tiger 2 but usually loose that in a tree as they get stuck
so +1 Jimmyc
