Admin convention in Seattle...

[gstommylee 6]

there are only 5 royal flush ( 10 j q k A of 1 suit) a straight flush (straight of same suit) a 4 of a kind and a full house and a flush can beat a straight

[Meg 368]

Dirk brought the server with him, which is why it was down the other day, because he had it on the plane.  Since Ryan won it, it's now under his bed.   but Ralph is painting flying turtles on it.

and we're playing texas hold 'em.  and Ryan is good at getting full houses.

Edit:  Samantha went all in and I won that pot.  on the next one both Dirk and Ralph went all in and I won that one too.   So I have the server now.  and Dirk's plane tickets.

(and they thought I couldn't play this game     )

[Voar Tok 4]

Oh, you're playing Texas Hold 'Em.

If you can't get the server back from Ryan, give me a buzz - he won't have it long.

Edit for Ski's edit: Have you ever played Texas Hold 'Em before, cause now I fear for my reputation.  Maybe it's beginner's luck.

So, to the other admins - if you can't get it back from Ski, drop me a line and I'll try to get it back from her.

[beebs 129]

Lol, go Ski! Show them what you're all about.

Texas Hold 'Em... not so good at that. 7 card stud on the other hand...

[sloppet 3]

an no one invited sloppet

[choco1 4]

Ah! How exciting! Is this the first time that most of you admins have met each other in person? And played poker!

Enjoy your conference guys and gals!

Choco.

Hmmm. I smell some grifting here

I would be there, as well, were it not for an ill-scheduled vacation that i took last week....DOH!

BTW, it is great to see the pictures. Very nice to see the Dirktator, Mr. Ninja, and the Lazy Admin together. Hopefully, there will be more to come.

[KT3 5]

What an amazing picture of the Admins.

I am rather surprised though, I had imagined Dirk to be a big ferocious lion, king of the beasts, but he isnt. He looks more like a big cuddly, fluffy, pussycat

[Mikeaut1 261]

HAHA! Keep that server safe!!!

Don't worry I was afraid of being played for sucker too.  I tend to confuse people when I lay down my cards and cry out UNO!!!

Annnnyway, we finally finally get to see what the Turtle looks like!  I think Ralph tends to resemble actor Herman Wedemeyer (Duke Lukela of Hawaii 5-0) 

Now if we can just get a legitimate contemporary photo of what SkiGeek actually looks like!

[Eastwinn 6]

Man, I had no idea that that's what RaphealNinja looked like. Now, why wasn't I invited!?

[MayorTim 16]

Have fun!

I had no idea thats what RaphealNinja looked like... 0_o

[rybolton 135]

I was really surprised he wasn't green... I was expecting more green...

[Firebird 40]

Dirk not owning the server!! How could be bet such a thing in the first place!!! Win Dirk WIN!!

How about you guys take a nap...it sounds like you guys/gals could use a rest after staying up all night and betting the server back and fourth.

And....i just thought of something....which Admin would he the heir of Simtropolis?

EDIT: I just thought of something else...how about you take a picture of the server so we can all see what we spend our lives connected to?

How's this one of Meg looking for gifts for her friends and family back home?

[beebs 129]

Ok, we now know that SkiGeek has brown hair. And likes ducks.

[DuskTrooper 316]

So, skigeek uses a mask like I do for pics, eh? That's the way to do it, eh?

[rybolton 135]

Here's Meg taking photos of the Snoqualmie Falls with Ry and Ralphy...

[Dirktator 2,327]

(Now that I'm logged in as myself...   )

Here's Meg driving us around...

[beebs 129]

Stylin' glasses, Ski!

Soo.... when do we get to see the rest of you?

[pilotdaryl 25]

Can't believe you're in Seattle, Dirk.  You're only 2 hours away from home (Mine, of course).

Seen the Peace Arch yet?

[rybolton 135]

"Meg, would you like a drink?"

[rybolton 135]

The story is Dirk tried to steal the server back from Meg instead of fairly winning it back in poker... 

This is what happens when Meg catches you misbehaving...

[helomoto 28]

I already know what Skigeek looks like....so tell her that she is not fooling me Also Skigeek is fair so Dirk...whatever you are getting that for...you deserved it ...

[DuskTrooper 316]

Hehe, tell ski she can smite dirk as much as she wants, as long as she does not whack the ST server!

[Firebird 40]

LOL

You Admins' always make me laugh!! It looks like you are having so much fun!

You guys/gals should get together more often!

[Voar Tok 4]

Do I get the hint that there is a running joke going with all those pictures. You even got it with the sunglasses in the rear view mirror.

The undertaker is going to love me. This is about the third time I've died laughing since this whole convention started.

[Micah 16]

Actually, from living with my middle aged mom, I think those aren't sunglasses, but rather prescription glasses. And if they aren't, then they are still to better the view of the road. 
Oh no, this convention is starting to remind me of a family-get-together.


I'm surprised about Dirk. I actually thought he would look more like his avatar, but I guess he was just using the avatar for the name of the hero.

Rybolton said he looked like his avatar.... no he doesn't.

[hamsterTK 93]

lol. its always fun when you see for the first time someones picture online. I always though Rybolton was older and dirk was younger and i had no idea that RaphaelNinja looked anything like that. Of course, the biggest surprise was when i saw a pic of PEG a while back. He looks like my dad

just curious, did you guys get together like this just because you wanted to or is one of you on business in the area and the others were able to show up?

Holy frick, I know where that is!

You take a left from the next offramp, and eventually you get to my house, after a couple of turns.

I know you guys mustn't of gone to Newcastle though, you'd of died of laughter at its patheticness.

Though, I have to wonder, did you correctly pronounce "Issaquah?" When you drove through, you should've stopped at the Triple XXX Drive_in. Not only would you get blown away by the car memorabilia decor, but ordering a "Triple XXX Burger" would've given you a heart attack upon its arrival.
