A Pool Table

A Pool Table may be installed in your Clan VIP Lounge by using a Clan pool table, which is bought from Mr. Store for 3 Mr. Accessories. You may choose 1 of the 3 playing styles 3 times per day. Like other once-a-day things, it may be used again after ascending.

Using the Pool Table

If you're in charge of the table or it's the first time the table has been used:

Looks like you're in charge of the table, having won the last game.

If a clanmate is in charge of the table:

• Message for winning:

  You skillfully defeat (player) and take control of the table. Go you!

• Message for playing yourself:

  You play a game of pool against yourself. Unsurprisingly, you win! Inevitably, you lose.

• Message for losing:

  Try as you might, you are unable to defeat (player). Ah well. You gave it your best.

• Message for winning a challenge:

  (player) challenged you to a game of pool, but you won and retained control of the table.

• Message for losing a challenge:

  (player) challenged you to a game of pool, and beat you!

• After the 3rd use in one day:

  You've already played quite a bit of pool today, so you just watch with your hands in your pockets.

• Message for trying to play pool after the 3rd use in one day:

  You're kind of pooled out for today. Maybe you'll be in the mood to play again tomorrow.

Notes

• The image beside the pool table is the current avatar of the person in charge of the table.
• There are mechanics that make you better at pool, although they have yet to be entirely spaded.
  • Effects believed to increase the odds of winning at pool include Chalky Hand, Chalked Weapon, and Swimming with Sharks.
  • Equipped items believed to increase the odds of winning at pool include the Pool cue, the Lucky rabbit's foot, and the Shark jumper. Having the Staff of Fats in your inventory may also increase your odds of winning.
  • A Shark's Chum, a semi-rare adventure, is also believed to be helpful. There is an adventure counter that likely holds across ascensions.
  • Your drunkenness should be at 10.
• Items in your display case do not affect your pool odds, as stated by Jick on a radio show.

References

• The message you get after playing for the third time in one day is probably a reference to the slang term "pocket pool".
