So I just beat Royal about 2 weeks ago and had an absolute blast. 10/10 would do again
Whist playing, however, I actually made a list of everything I personally discovered, though some things may be wrong.
If you want to add anything to the list, suggestions are appreciated!! And if you notice any mistakes, please tell me and I'll fix it up a bit, thanks!!
Oh, and there are
no 3rd semester spoilers! I only wrote down things between the first day and Christmas day, so don't worry about anything too major in this post djsjshks and I didn't write much about any of the Palaces besides from story related things

Also, more people will come in on Sundays to Crossroads. Instead of receiving 7200 yen, you'll get 12000 yen instead for your hard work
Kasumi's ending text (Unbreakable bond) is now different. Also, I think it was a different voice?? It said you gained a glimpse, not the ultimate secret though. Very interesting

When you get back from Hawaii, if you say "Aloha!" to Futaba, instead of saying "He's been influenced..." she now says "He's been Hawaiianized..." Not sure why they changed it, I mean, it was fine to begin with but it's whatever ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Sae now has actual cognitive-human bodyguards when she approaches you whilst you wander around the Casino (they actually kinda look similar from the bodyguards at the beginning whilst you're being chased lmao)

New Chouno question (The answer is a Sword, or B)
Futaba's Mementos scan is now a lot quicker
Also, I guess now is a good time to mention, but areas in Mementos can have certain qualities to them, such as all the shadows turning into the big hulky ones and the floor being weak which makes Morgana slip through them to the floor below. There's also a chance that the Reaper will spawn right away, which Futaba/Morgana will warn you that there's a certain strong shadow you have to look out for.

Just to let everyone know, Casino Rama has closed the Poker Room, and moved the tables into the main room. It's located near the center bar, where all the table games like Roulette and Craps are. I don't like it...noisy and distracting. You also get shoulder surfers wandering about and watching the games. It used to be that the poker area was for players only.
PRO TIP: The Couchiching Buffet jumps their pricing at 4pm from $17 for lunch to $22 for dinner. Get there at 3:45pm, and dig into the freshly prepared Dinner dishes 15 minutes later, at Lunch prices. The salmon was fantastic.
More news...rumour has it that Poker is coming back to the Blue Heron up in Port Perry in the fall.
Session: Bought in for $200 about 6pm, and ran card-dead for 90 minutes, getting ground down by the blinds. Got down to $150 and packed up. Went to the room and watched TV for a bit.
Came back down at 11pm and sat back down. There was a $2/$5 running, and (2) $1/$2 tables. Still pretty card-dead. The $2/$5 table broke and some players came over to the $1/$2, and they were opening up at $20-$30, which really helped my decision making. I was getting impatient, and tempted to play marginal hands in shitty position...but not at those prices.
OTTH: I managed to bump my $150 up to roughly $220. Being card-dead, I had a very tight table image.
UTG, I wake up with Q♥Q♦ and open to $6. Six callers.
Flop comes J♦3♣J♣, and I check, waiting to see if anyone hit the Jack. Guy to my left bets $20, one caller, everyone else folds to me, and I call.
Turn is the Q♣. Very nice...so I hide in the weeds, hoping someone spiked their flush. Check. The opener from last hand fires $25, one caller, and I call.
River 6♦. Brick. I check again...putting more bait in the trap. The opener fires $45, again the same caller, and back to me. I hollywood for 10 or 15 seconds, and then shove for $129. The opener tanks, then calls, and the other player tanks, then folds.
I take the pot, over $500. Sweet.
MOST AMUSING HAND: Old guy and young guy are in a pot, the board is 99663. Old guy says "Whatcha got?". Young guy replies, "I have pocket 5's". Old guy flashes a 10-4, says, "I got nothin'," and throws them into the muck. LOL. One of the other players says, "Wait a sec," and the dealer replies, "Yeah, I saw it, too, but he mucked them so the hand is dead."
submitted by This actually occurred a little over a month ago, but is somewhat ongoing as I have not received the money I lent this bastard, but we will get to that soon enough.
For privacy's sake, we will call him "Jimmy", even though he deserves to have me post all of his actual info on here, but whatever.
About a month ago I am fiddling around on facebook while at work, and see a post from "Jimmy" about having Suite/Box seats to a Hockey game in the city. I am a HUGE hockey fan, so this caught my eye immediately. I decided I would shoot him a message and see how much he wanted for a couple tickets (I really wanted to take my g/f). He immediately responded with a great price, and his phone number so I could call him to finalize the deal. This all seemed perfect, until I remembered who I was dealing with.
Jimmy was the guy in our group of friends that burned every single bridge he ever made, while single-handedly shattering every amazing opportunity he was ever given (we all know a few of these guys don't we?). Basically he was the group fuck up, and that is what ended up getting him ousted from the group. He could talk himself out of anything he had ever gotten himself into, and had been for years. He wrote at least one check every day of some sort that "his ass couldn't cash". And I also believe at one point, he was also writing bad checks from an empty bank account, that he never had intended on putting money in to begin with, but that's beside the point. Jimmy was always getting into, and right back out shit. Always "borrowing from Peter, to pay Paul", all while fucking both their wives. I'm sure you get my point. Him being from a wealthy family; enabled this, and obviously he knew it.
Fast forward many years, to that facebook post (I hadn't seen or physically spoken to this asshole in a long time). I call him up, and though apprehensive, it seems he may have finally gotten at least some of his shit together (had a g/f, owned his own business, etc). It wasn't long after talking about meeting up to exchange money for tickets and so on that it all began. The endless trail of shit spewing out of his mouth, about how there were too many people (his g/f's brother and friend) that wanted to go now, so he had to try and come up with an extra ticket, for the game (to make everyone happy). It was then, he started to make me an offer, that I would have been silly for refusing. If I was to lend him the money for this extra box ticket ($150), he would in return not only pay me back in full, at the game, but hook my g/f and I up with a luxury suite at one of the nearby Casino/Hotel's. As an extra thank you, everything would be included in the stay (all drinks, food, etc..). He even offered to let me keep the required refundable deposit on the room. Keep in mind, I am was already paying him $150 for the two tickets I needed. Now, I am not dead broke or anything, but $300 bucks on a night of fun was a little out of the budget range. I must have sounded hesitant on the phone (I was), because he quickly started trying to convince/reassure me that it was only because he didn't have his debit card with him (his accountant cut it up because he was yet again, a fucking idiot), and was in a hurry to get this all taken care of before the game we all had to be at. I believe his words were something like "Kyleforshort, c'mon you can trust me, I am good for this, I am driving a $100K car right now, do you really think I am not going to pay you back?".
I immediately wanted to know what he was driving, and he calmly replied with "A Lotus" (and yes I know that they are more rare, than expensive, but c'mon it's a damn Lotus). I called bullshit right away, but he was on his way to meet me with the tickets, so I knew I would find out soon enough. We get off the phone, and my anxiety is through the roof. Do I let someone, who I have zero trust in, borrow this money that I need to pay rent/bills/etc with? Most would have said fuck that, this is too good to be true, but Jimmy has a way with words as I said before, and he sucked me right the fuck in like he had so many others.
A few minutes later I get a phone call, saying he's around the corner. I head out back into the rear parking lot of my job. Sure as shit, a dark green Lotus whips around the corner. The idea was to sneak away, hit an ATM, get the tickets and slip back into work like nothing ever happened (of course him showing up in that fucking thing almost completely prevented that). Though still skeptical, I begin to gain some faith in him. I mean after all he wasn't completely full of shit..he did show up in a Lotus, and gauging by the cracked bumper, and the shit show the inside was, it was in fact....his. I jump in, we run to the nearest ATM, and yup, as you assumed I gave him the $300. But not without some sort of collateral. I'm not a complete fucking moron. Before I gave him any money, I made him give me all of the tickets he did have on him, 4 in total. The only condition was that in his own words "YOU HAVE TO BE ON TIME". I didn't see that as an issue, so the tickets were mine, and the money became his. He dropped me back off at work, and we agreed to meet later, at the game.
Fast forward 3 or 4 hrs, and traffic (too many fucking accidents for an average day) has caused us to be "late", and I wasn't supposed to be late. I get a phone call saying he is no where near the venue, and has some shit to take care of, so he needs me to met up with the other people whom have bought the other 2 of the 4 tickets I have. We pull into the the hotel/casino valet, and register under his name. After multiple texts and calls, and no sign of him, or the people who's tickets we have. We head upstairs, to wait. This is where the fun begins...(I almost forgot, at this time my drivers license was suspended, and expired, and I couldn't renew it, due to it being suspended, so I knew there was no way in hell I was getting in the Casino part of the hotel.)
7:00 PM - People who need the other tickets arrive, I give them the tickets, and we agree to see each other later at the venue.
7:15 PM - Get a phone call from "Jimmy", he is no where near the venue, so we decide to head over to the game. One problem, you have to enter the Casino to get the "train" that goes to the arena. There are two more problems with this scenario, I have an expired I.D., and no cash for said train. I relay this to Jimmy, and he says he needs to make a phone call.
7:20 PM - (Game starts at 7:30) I get a phone call from Jimmy saying there is a shuttle bus waiting for us down by the V.I.P. entrance of the Casino. We head downstairs both confused, and pissed off because he is no where to be found with the money. We walk a block down the street, and sure as shit, there is a shuttle bus, sitting there specifically waiting for my g/f and I.
7:30 PM - We arrive to the arena, at an entrance I have never seen before. Present the tickets (which at this point I think may be fake), and are ushered to a near by elevator. We go up what seems like 15 floors, and arrive at a long hallway that resembles a hotel hallway, and are told which way to go to get to the suite. By this time, I am acting like a 15 year old girl that is about to meet The Backstreet Boys, and my g/f is getting pissed/embarrassed by said actions.
7:35 PM - We walk into the suite, and see the two guys we met up with at the hotel, and then get introduced to the guy who's suite it is (the host). We are welcomed to all the food and booze that we could possibly consume (me being the lush I am, I start in on the brews). Everyone is still waiting on Jimmy.
8:15 PM - Now like 6 or so beers in, I and everyone else are still waiting on Jimmy.
8:45 PM - Still no Jimmy. I had received a text (from Jimmy) a bit before asking how much in the game was left. With there not being much, I didn't expect he would show.
9:00 PM (Approximately) - Game over (we lose), and all of us head down to the shuttle to make our way back to the casino.
9:15 PM - We all unload, and the host stops us to ask what we have planned for the rest of the evening. Still agitated, I say we are still waiting on Jimmy. He quickly makes a phone call, and says Jimmy will be waiting at the V.I.P. entrance of the casino, so that is where we head.
9:20 PM - We stand inside the V.I.P. entrance for a min or two, and down the stairs comes Jimmy. I now present my expired I.D. to the lady at the desk. She says nothing and waives my g/f and I through to Jimmy. I immediately ask about the money that I am owed, and he says he has some of it, and is just waiting for someone to get there, so he can collect the rest.
9:25 PM - I immediately flag a waitress down, and Jimmy orders my g/f and I a drink (charged to the room of course). We begin to wander around the "High Roller" area of the Casino floor, and I start to notice that Jimmy is exchanging "hellos" and "how the hell are yas" with nearly everyone around us. I couldn't figure out how the in the hell he knew everyone from waitresses, and gamblers, to the damn custodians. I mean hell, I still couldn't figure out how he managed to have a shuttle come and get just my g/f and I like it was no issue at all. At one point I was even joking with one of the Valet guys about how big of a pain in the ass Jimmy's Lotus was to get in and out of.
10:00 PM - Jimmy walks my g/f and I over to the little kiosk thing where you manage your casino account/points and so on. He swipes is card, and proceeds to check on how many available points he has, etc etc. While doing this, I notice that he happens to be like one level below the highest level you can be at the damn place. Below that was a number, that nearly made me shit myself right then and there. Within 6 months of being a "member", he had spent/won upwards of $250K. (Which I then assume is how everyone knows this shithead).
10:30 PM - Jimmy takes us to the front desk of the Hotel, to check us in. We get our key cards, and head up to the room. Upon opening the door, I couldn't believe my eyes. Floor to ceiling windows over looking the city, separate rooms, a giant bathroom with a steam shower and a Jacuzzi, etc. This room was the size of a small apartment, and way nicer than anything I or my g/f had been in previously. I quickly go to the mini bar, and crack open a cold beer (I mean hey it's all free, so why the hell not). We all sit and chat for a few, and Jimmy explains his many life fuck ups, and how he got his shit together finally, has a great g/f, owns his own business etc.
10:45 PM - We head back down to the Casino, and I again have to show my expired license. Security guy looks at my I.D., and responds with "maaaaan this is expired" (I acted surprised of course) he then swiped it through the thingy (for lack of a better term), and waived me though. I again could not believe what was going on.
11:30 PM - By this time, I have downed 3 or 4 more beers, and my g/f heads back to our room (She's not much of the gamble/party type, and hates when I get too drunk). I am now continuously harassing Jimmy about my $150. I am also getting louder and louder while he grows more and more embarrassed. It now becomes apparent that all of these theatrics of his are just simply stall techniques. We head over to a few slots and he begins putting small bills in, and losing. In my drunken haze, I don't think anything of the fact that it's probably my damn money going into those machines.
12:00 AM - We head to a secluded little room directly off of the High Roller's floor, and Jimmy greets the guy, whom he also seems to know. He asks the guy if he could recount to him via computer the day that he had won $70K. It takes a second, and sure enough the guy rattles off some date a month or two back. They go back and forth with some Casino lingo and we leave the room with me drunk, confused, and now shaking my head at what in the hell is still going on.
1:00 AM - Jimmy says he'll be right back, and disappears. I notice there is a bar cart close by, so my drunk ass decides to go over and order another beer. The bartender rattles off a total and I tell him to charge it to my room. He tries, but the charge will not go through. I say naaah try it again. He does, and nothing. Just then Jimmy shows back up and I excplain the issue. We leave the bar cart, without the beer, and he again makes a phone call and wanders off.
1:15 AM - Jimmy returns, and encourages me to go try to get a drink and charge it (something apparently wasn't activated/working correctly before). We walk over to the bar cart, I order the same thing, tell the bartender to charge it to my room, and BINGO it works. I just look at him and shake my head. We go over and sit at a couple of slot machines, and he begins to try and borrow more money off me, promising a quick return via the Black Jack tables near by. I immediately shut him down, tell him he's fucking nuts, and begin loudly asking about my $150 again. Jimmy heads, of and I stay at the machines, ordering more drinks from passing waitresses.
2:15 AM - Jimmy comes back, we talk some more, and decide we are getting hungry. We head over to one of the restaurants down in the gaming area, stand at the entrance, joke with the hostess a bit, but never enter the establishment. We walk around for a while, and this is where shit starts to get a little fuzzy. I at one point lost my phone, and found it right where we were previously sitting back at the slots.
3:00ish AM - I find myself sitting at the slots (again), Jimmy no where in sight. By this time I really should be puking, in bed, or doing both. I fumble to locate my phone and call my g/f because I am too drunk to know how in the hell to get back to the room. No answer. I sit there for a while longer, call again, and still no answer.
3:30ish AM - Jimmy had to have shown up sometime within this time frame because I faintly remember him escorting me back to the room. He never came in though, just led me to the door. I loudly let myself into the room to find my g/f sound asleep. I am now pissed that "she left me down there alone", even though it was my drunk ass, that couldn't find my way back. We fight, and yell for a while. And eventually make up. ;)
4:00ish AM - Presumably around this point, I have passed out, and my g/f is back to sleep also.
7:00 AM - There is a loud bang at the door, that woke both my g/f and I. Turns out, I had locked Jimmy out of the room by using the room's deadbolt. He initially told me he wouldn't be crashing there so I thought nothing of it, and was too drunk to care.
7:30 AM - Slow to get up, we get dressed, and talk with Jimmy for a bit. He offers to walk us downstairs so we can get breakfast from the buffet (roughly $30 a person), he just needs to sign off on it.
7:45 AM - We gather our things and head down to the buffet. Both hostesses of course know Jimmy (smdh). They ring us up, and he signs the bill. We head in to eat and he disappears (again).
9:00 AM - We head over to valet to get our car, and head home. Still no word from Jimmy.
Jimmy did string me along for a few more days about giving me my money, but then he stopped answering, and I gave up.
UPDATE: I still haven't heard from Jimmy, and as you probably have guessed, still haven't seen my $150. My g/f and I totaled approximately what we had spent throughout the whole ordeal, and that far outweighed the $150. I think it was well up over $2K if you count everything that was provided at no cost to us. Plus it was/is tax time and we both got our refunds and so on a short time later. So all in all, I don't feel like I lost much at all, and had a damn good time while doing it.
We still have no idea what Jimmy was doing for the 3 hrs before he tried to get into the room at 7 AM.
(SORRY IF THERE IS ANY CONFUSION IN THE TIMELINE OF THINGS. I WROTE THIS OVER A FEW LUNCH BREAKS AT WORK. SO IT MAY BE A LITTLE CHOPPY.)
TL;DR - Let someone borrow money, got shitfaced, had an awesome night (free room, food, drinks), and never saw my money again.
submitted by Recently I went on a cruise with Carnival Cruise lines. The toilets always flushed and the power stayed on but the cruise was still ultimately less than desirable. My vacation on the Ecstasy started on Monday, April 8th. Our party of 27 loaded up at about noon. The kids in our party were excited to go swimming, which was supposed to be open right away. However, the pool was being painted and would be out of commission till the next day. On the third day, they painted the fake palm trees, again by the pool. so the pool area constantly smelled of heavy paint. The first night, 6 out of our 27 were extremely seasick. We heard repeatedly that the ship seemed to move more than other ships they had been on. We were never given an explanation by service, just that we should really purchase ginger ale, wristbands and benadryl. The second night, there was a man dressed as "Captain Jack Sparrow" walking around taking photos with all the guests at dinner. This was a great idea, but "Captain Jack" looked like he had spent 20 minutes finding an outfit in Walmart and drew a beard and mustache on with a magic marker. He was in a hurry to take a photo with you (for a later price of $20) and then leave. He wasn’t there to entertain, it was very much all business. I had always heard that the most amazing part of any cruise was the food, so that is what I was most excited about. The food was less than mediocre. One night, I had ordered a chicken pasta. The pasta was only the macaroni from the lunch buffet with a dry piece of chicken on it. The dinner was never better than alright and by Wednesday I was craving a non-buffet style meal. Carnival Ecstasy advertised a sushi bar. I was very excited about this but it took almost two days to find it. The “sushi bar” turned out to be a small table in the corner behind the casino. It had a small sign that described what the day's specials were but nothing labeling that it was in fact a sushi bar or that it was free. When you ordered, you got two small pieces of what they had that day. One night I went by and you could get a piece of tofu or a piece of cooked shrimp wrapped in rice. The next day they had mushroom or very spicy raw tuna. Even past the spice, I could tell that the tuna wasn't fresh. We had fantastic service from housekeeping and our dinner servers were really spectacular but the rest of the staff seemed to be frustrated with us. I noticed that our servers at dinner were working all morning too. I asked a couple of them about their schedules and the responses seemed to be that they work from early till late with an hour off in the afternoon. I asked one server about recommendations for the afternoon and she was quite nasty to us. As I tried to talk to her about her life and situation, she opened up a good bit and expressed that she was just tired, which seemed to be the general personality of the staff. I felt a little uncomfortable enjoying myself being surrounded by disgruntled staff. One night, a group of about 15 of us went to karaoke in the "Chinatown" area on the boat. They seemed extremely frustrated with us that we were not drinking, assumingly because they were making minimal tips off us. We still ordered sodas for $3 a pop. At one point, a sway of the boat made a drink spill. A server stomped away and came back 30 minutes later, then yelled “Move!” to sweep it up. Instead of ruining our mood, we all decided to leave. Another night we did karaoke and the host seemed to mock every one that got on stage. A young, timid girl sang a song by Adele and the MC keep pretending to fall asleep during her song. Again, we left. On the last day, we were supposed to get off one group at a time. Our group was scheduled to get off the boat at around 10. At 9 a.m. that morning, all the water in the boat was shut off, so no one could wash their hands or use the restroom. Everything shut down before we were allowed to get off the boat. Apparently, the ship was running behind so at 10 they told everyone they could go ahead and leave. This was a horrible idea, because instead of everyone waiting their turn to get off and sitting at tables, we waited over an hour in line while carrying our bags through customs. Despite the unpleasantness, our party was extremely happy to be on vacation and to be together. We tried to maintain a positive attitude but the general consensus is that we will never travel with Carnival again.
