Hrm.

It seems some of you are only doing okay in the course of this tournament. I must admit, I've only seen a few people being truly entertaining or impressive with their solutions to the challenges presented.

So let's spice things up a little bit. I've had a case of magically-enhanced caffeine drinks hidden somewhere on the island. You may ask me, in a private thread, ten questions, one at a time, which I will answer honestly, though possibly cryptically, about their location. Questions that are irrelevant may result in the use of ancient curses, so don't try anything stupid.

The magic in these drinks is enough that you'll be able to enter a kind of "zone" where time will seem to slow, giving you better reaction to any situation presented you. Maybe that will help some of you be more impressive.

Oh, and don't drink more than two a day. Your heart might explode.

Well, if they catch you with an ace up your sleeve they take you into a back room and break your arms and legs. Hacking the slot machines? Well there's a wood chipper out back.

Unless you play against other players, then they let you cheat like mad and just collect .1% of your winnings.

Oh, so in other words they're more or less clueless and rely on the fact that the average demon is even less intelligent.

Good to know.

Partly.

And partly because I think if they didn't let people cheat, nobody would come here.

[high_on_daylight]

Sounds about right.

I think the demons get more fun out of cheating and the risk of being caught than they do the actual money. Which makes it unusually easy to fleece them, for the casino and for me.
