Solitaire

Solitaireby Red Wolf

Spike almost ripped the office door off its hinges as her responded to Dawn's scream. He was more than a little baffled to find the office free from intruders and Dawn doing a happy dance at her desk.

Rachel rolled her eyes at Spike's confusion. "Dawn finally won a game of Solitaire." She pointedly ignored Dawn's chorus of We Are the Champions.

"All this over a card game against a computer?" Spike didn't look any more enlightened.

Rachel grinned. "It's quite addictive, but I'd be more impressed if I didn't know she just wangled the cheat codes out of Andrew."

Winning from a cheat is never as satisfying in the long run. ^_^ — via LiveJournal — posted by laridian at 09.10.2007 17:33 AEST | #

You can't always get it out with the cheat anyway — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 09.10.2007 17:33 AEST | #

He He, yes that would take the edge of the victory. Great drabble as always — via LiveJournal — posted by woman_of_ at 09.10.2007 17:34 AEST | #

Cheat codes for Solitaire? That's sad... — via LiveJournal — posted by Mark Hunter at 09.10.2007 17:36 AEST | #

Most computer games have them — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 09.10.2007 17:37 AEST | #

I know, but... cheating on Solitaire. It just doesn't seem right, somehow. Maybe Dawn's a little too other-side-of-the-brain for that game — via LiveJournal — posted by Mark Hunter at 09.10.2007 17:37 AEST | #

I didn't say she did cheat, just that she had the means and Rachel assumes she did — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 09.10.2007 17:38 AEST | #

Good point... one shouldn't assume — via LiveJournal — posted by Mark Hunter at 09.10.2007 17:38 AEST | #

Oh, that was a hoot!

Do we get a drabble on how exactly she wangled the codes? — via LiveJournal — posted by spuffyduds at 09.10.2007 17:41 AEST | #

Asked nicely? Caught him using them? Bribed him with little plastic men? — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 09.10.2007 17:42 AEST | #

lol, that was funny. Solitaire really is quite addictive — via LiveJournal — posted by caatje at 09.10.2007 17:43 AEST | #

Spider Solitaire is even more addictive. Stupid card games eat my time — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 09.10.2007 17:43 AEST | #

Hahahaha that was great — via LiveJournal — posted by scarlettlily at 09.10.2007 17:44 AEST | #

At first I wondered how anyone even could lose at Solitaire enough to bother making cheat sheets in the first place, but then I went a played a few hands. Lost the first four; one game after only turning three cards! To be honest, I never really realised there was a strategy to Solitaire at all, but I was obviously rusty.

Of course, I won the next few rounds in ever increasing speeds until I was back to completing the game in under 100 seconds and I felt better. ;)

Up next: Go blow myself up a few times in Minesweeper, yay! — via LiveJournal — posted by Moonbeam at 09.10.2007 17:45 AEST | #

The cheat has always been there. I think the programmer added it for testing purposes. If you hold down Shift+Ctrl+Alt and click to deal, it will deal single cards instead of three — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 09.10.2007 17:45 AEST | #

Thank you for writing that — I needed a laugh today.

And wow, that's some bad luck at computer Solitaire. Is it natural, or does the computer dislike Dawn for some reason? — via LiveJournal — posted by Elizabeth Culmer at 09.10.2007 17:46 AEST | #

Probably just distraction and not really investing enough concentration on the game. Or she's just found where it hides in the menu, which is a good possibility if someone like me has ever been near her computer and rearranged the menu — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 09.10.2007 17:47 AEST | #

Heeee! I like the twist on the first time, very creative :) Can only imagine the torture techniques used on Andrew though ;) — via LiveJournal — posted by lillianmorgan at 09.10.2007 17:47 AEST | #

I expect that Andrew is easily bribed — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 09.10.2007 17:48 AEST | #

Terrific! Still love his verse :-) — via LiveJournal — posted by rayne_y_daze at 09.10.2007 17:48 AEST | #

Many thanks! It's so much fun to play with this verse too — via LiveJournal — posted by Red Wolf at 09.10.2007 17:49 AEST | #
