Re: [HOE] advice needed for dealing with insane draws

The Manitous are alive.   Typically, in our posse, if its a godawful draw
(more dueces than face cards) we have that char "walk of a cliff."  I did
the same thing with a char in the "DL/Wierd Wars" x-over a friend of mine is
running.  "Mongo," think heavy set, brawny heavy machine gun toting
troglodyte, was supposed to be my second, fallback char in case of "Sudden
Death" syndrome.  Well, upon reflection of stats, Mongo had Strength but
nothing else.  He had no dueces (an immediate 4-F rating).  However, he had
no stats that could be used for decent anything.  So, he "walked off the
cliff."  I redrew.  And, lo and behold, 1 joker (red) and 4 aces, 3 face
cards... So "Mongo" went and his brother "Spud" came around.  They nicknamed
him spud due to his last name sounded like "potato"  (DiPoto).  So far in
one encounter with a "nearwolf," he has more grit than my Second Lewey
(Liutenent (sp?) who has been in 4 games.  Go fig.
