The Frustration of Greedy Greedy
I’m sure many of you will know that pretty awesome Greedy Greedy game in game, created by Karsten Rutledge. I’m familiar with it. In fact, I’m kind of addicted to it, which is really unfortunate as my table seems to have a sever preference for my partner over myself. This leads to all kinds of tantrums on my part and I therefore thought I would share with you a notecard I wrote to the creator earlier on this evening (following another ass kicking by Jenee):
“Regarding your Greedy Greedy table, I would just like to inform you of damages for which I hold you personally liable.
Owing to absolute frustration, I tore my hair out, scratched my scalp and gauged out my eyes with a teaspoon. Both eyes. In addition, I hit my head against a wall repeatedly. This caused severe concussion and the loss of four of my only five brain cells. Following this act of self-mutilation, my neighbours and close friends sectioned me in an institution, in which I remained for many weeks before I was able to prove my sanity once more.
This was because I was playing YOUR game with my girlfriend. I was stuck on 0 while she whizzed her way up to 10000 with such fortune as to roll four fours on two consecutive turns, while I rolled one five, rolled again and was greeted with that pissy whirring noise it makes when you lose all your points, as if the table is saying to you “Hahaha, asshole. You’re gonna be stuck on zero for all eternity, doomed to rot in a Hell of zero points.” Her luck manifested itself in such a way that she was able to scoop 6000 points in one turn, while (you guessed it) I was STILL on zero.
As such, I advise you of your liabilities to me:-
2 x eyes, gauged out in frustration
1 x course of miracle growth for the hair I tore out
1 x tube of cream for the scratches on my head
4 x brain cells which really weren’t worth that much so I wouldn’t worry
1 x a long stay in a home for the mental
Yours faithfully,
Josue Habana”
Let’s hope the aforementioned creator has a sense of humour

Josue,
GreedyGreedy is a game I also played with my grandmother in real life. I created another version of it on http://www.highpointgames.com. I incorporated cards into the game to give it more dimension. I hope you and all other 2nd lifer’s who play greedy Greedy enjoy it. =)
