http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearts For those that don't know the game.

I've gotten back into the game in the past few days due to random boredom, and it's one of those games most of the DL can play. This is sort of a general interest/chat topic, to see if anyone else wants to play with us. Games have been going on at Yahoo.com around 11pm EST. Last game was awesome. I shot on a hold hands. Thanks again, Trips! I really like Hearts for rewarding both defensive and aggressive play, and being an all for one type of game .It's far more fun to drop the bitch on some poor bastard on the second or third round than it is to work together with a teammate in Spades. I need to try Bridge as well, as that looks to be fun.

Hearts is the best game in the world. You don't play to win, you play to make everyone else lose.

I hate Tallychu for dropping the bitch on me that one game where I could've won >O

But yes, Hearts is crazy fun because of that. I should do that.

I'd be in for a game if I ever am not dead around that time.

11pm EST? Damn, that screws me over. Shame - I'd love to play at some point, especially seeing as I've barely played against human players. >.>

If you want to play an earlier game, poke chat. 11's just when the people are around.

Ryogo · « **Reply #6 on:** March 26, 2009, 01:55:41 AM »

I haven't played Hearts in a while. Used to play it all the time on my computer all the time though. I'd be up for a game sometime.

How often do you guys play?

superaielman · « **Reply #7 on:** March 26, 2009, 04:43:49 AM »

Whenever I can drag enough people onto Yahoo for it. Usually use IRC to contact everyone, sometimes AIM.

Went 3-1 tonight. Tal won a game, I carried the rest. Tal is way too tough to set in general, the last game went on for ages. Excal shot at least twice and VSM did once and they still both finished at the bottom.

Ryogo · « **Reply #8 on:** March 26, 2009, 04:56:38 AM »

Alright, I'll give you an add on AIM then, since chat is so unreliable for me. I'm always on AIM/MSN, so just send me a message if your looking for a player.

superaielman · « **Reply #9 on:** March 26, 2009, 04:57:01 AM »

Sounds good. We always need more players.

TranceHime · « **Reply #10 on:** March 26, 2009, 07:22:35 AM »

Man, Tal won a game by virtue of shooting because he got like 10 diamonds and the rest of us had none.

Also somehow Nitori managed to stay more than one round of tricks with 0 pts.

And then Tal shot the moon again ;_: You broke my heart man.

superaielman · « **Reply #11 on:** March 28, 2009, 04:48:50 AM »

2-1 tonight. Fun is coming from behind and winning the final game. Tal had like a 20 point lead he lost in the last few hands. He went into the last round ahead by two points, but ended up eating most of the hearts. (Nitori ate the bitch).

Tal was mean and for some reason holds a Hearts grudge against me.

I think Tal holds a Hearts grudge against all of us ;_;

If you leave a time when you usually play this, I can attempt to make it--provided I am not procrastinating from doing something productive in other ways.

Alternatively, if you're going to play Literati for some odd and obscure reason I am completely and utterly game. But I guess that's something for another thread I could make but am too lazy for.

Heh, I'd be game for Literati too, but especially Big 2. WE NEED MOAR BIG 2 PLAYERS.

Fun fact: Dropping the bitch very early in the first three rounds on three different players tends to make them both pissed off and very likely to try and get you back. *Shakes fist at Yakko*

Yakumo · « **Reply #16 on:** March 31, 2009, 11:22:21 PM »

In fairness, with the hand I had I would have done that regardless. The fact that it got you the bitch is just icing. ^_^

It's somehow more satisfying to force someone to eat the bitch that way than to actually drop it directly, though.

superaielman · « **Reply #17 on:** March 31, 2009, 11:23:54 PM »

I rather enjoy it either way. The earlier the better, which is why I depise leading mid cards unless I only have one to go to be void.

Veryslightlymad · « **Reply #18 on:** April 02, 2009, 05:08:47 AM »

;_;

On a day I swear I'm playing well, I get my score into the 1300 range. I should retire.

TranceHime · « **Reply #19 on:** April 02, 2009, 07:31:58 AM »

Don't feel bad, VSM! Ratings mean NOTHING.

BaconForTheSoul · « **Reply #20 on:** April 17, 2009, 04:38:04 AM »

Good times Alex, Super, Tal, and Yoshi(?) I think was the 5th!

superaielman · « **Reply #21 on:** April 25, 2009, 02:41:10 PM »

Anyone around to play Hearts now? *At work, killing time till the draft*

Read it. Don't worry about memorizing the bidding perfectly from the start. You'll pick the specifics up as you play.

Would be nice to get a game going tonight, if possible.

Scar · « **Reply #23 on:** May 09, 2009, 04:53:06 PM »

I hate you all.

superaielman · « **Reply #24 on:** May 09, 2009, 04:55:59 PM »

Don't worry, yahoo hates everyone equally.
