Tea Break 4 (Video)

[tea_lover64]

[Iroh gives a pleasant smile as the video opens up. In front of him there is a pai-sho board. It was time to finally time to formalize a date and setting for something he proposed awhile back]

Hello everyone, as some of you may remember, I had inquired about the interest of learning the wonderful game of pai-sho back a couple of months ago. It seemed there was at least a fair amount of interest in such a thing, so I am proceeding as if there were.

[He takes a sip of tea, placing it down delicately before continuing]

I would like to have the first learning day on the second of March. I haven't seen any holidays then, and it seems a good time for it. It will be held at the Welcome Center, and I hope that we shall have a great turn out. I humbly ask those who already are familiar with the game to come by and assist those who are learning.

[He inclines his head politely for such a request]

If anyone else would like to contribute a bit of time to help with set up, or perhaps some snacks, I would most appreciate it.

[He gives a kindly smile]

I look forward to seeing you all there, please feel free to ask any questions or concerns you may have.

Heh, maybe a bit. The problem I had was not everyone was as eager about getting into it as me.

[Okay maybe that's not the real problem. HE MISSES PLAYING WITH KATARA...

...! And thus, a plan begins to form.]

Well from the responses I had to test the interest last time, I think it should be a pretty good turn out for the most part. I've made a few copies of a reference guide for playing, a cheat sheet if you will which describes each of the pieces, the set-up, and which constitutes a legal versus illegal move, and how victory is determined of course.

What if you had prizes?

[tea_lover64]

I had thought of that for a tournament, but I would rather focus on learning for the first couple of times until people get a feel for the game.

[endgames]

That's what I mean. There could be learning prizes. Nothing big, just something fun like a cool knick-knack from the item shop, or a dessert.

Well, Ikki had mentioned decorating Pai-Sho tile themed cupcakes. Aang would be doing the baking, but it is a thought.

[endgames]

I'll confess, it's more an idea for roping Katara in, and anyone like her. She has a competitive streak like that.

[tea_lover64]

Interesting.

[He strokes his beard]

I had not considered that angle of things.

[endgames]

It's just a thought, anyways.

[tea_lover64]

Well, I will certainly consider it.
