Wait, what? This guy was renamed from "pool shark" to "pool hustler" on someone's request, but his name is pool shark! Is it possible there are two enemies based on how tired he is (I caught him first time by sneaking up), or was the first change just a mistake?

Edit: The confusion probably arose from the fact that his combat messages use "the hustler" while the mouseover text displays "pool shark". I'll rename the page.

How about we call him Tony? Or Anthony?

Anthony is the (drunk) 3rd-eyer who wants his watch back. This pool whatever's name is unknown, as far as I know.

According to the description of the hustler's cue, his name is "Slick Tony". (Well, unless he stole more than just the watch…)

Huh. Didn't notice that.
So eighter they have both the same name (modulo broad name equivalency classes), or (more likely) the 3rd-eyer just won the watch. Or he's lying. Or it's somebody's else's problem watch.

Huh, now I wonder if the Third Eye is just getting you to beat up random people and steal from them. Now I feel bad for killing the pool shark :(

Though the fact that he runs out of the room the minute you mention the watch seems kind of like an admission of guilt. Though maybe he runs out of the room because the third eye guy has tried to steal it from him before.

EDIT: I asked Kinak what the third eye guy's name is, or if he'd put in a choice in game for us to ask and his response is: "I think I'll leave that one open for now."

I wouldn't say 'admission of guilt', I'd say 'only third eye members seem to have an interest in the watch'. Which is doubly odd, since nearly everyone on campus seems to know the bar is third eye territory. On that same topic, if he took it from the third eye, why would he be anywhere near the bar? Especially if he took it through pool, and knows they seem to be dangerous.

Or else the watch.. has/means something more. He does freak out… a LOT when you corner him. And is surprised if you just want the watch. So then why did he panic? You only wanted the watch in the first place… /ominous suspicions

I am curious how the third eye would've 'won' the watch, though xKiv, although maybe I'm misreading that.

Well, he does make a living cheating people at pool, so he's hardly squeaky clean. Bit of a divide between that and oh, causing the most horrific event of the year that brought about the deaths of hundreds of students, but you know. >.>

And yes, the watch is interesting - it does seem to be his watch, judging by the pool cue, and if it's a very meaningful heirloom to him, it could be very tragic if he loses it. The drunkard could just be an asshole, but who knows, maybe there's something sinister there. I'm having a hard time figuring out what would be so special about that watch, though (you can't even equip it).

The drunkard is the pool shark's cousin fighting over their grandpa's inheritance? :P

@argeth:
I was jusk thinking, maybe the 3rd-eyer (who we *meet* when he's drunk, but that's not necessarily true all the time) know how to play pool, challenged the sharkhustler, chose the watch as a price and
a) won … and the sharkhustler conned him out of it
b) lost … because the sharkhustler cheated (so the 3rd-eyer reckons he actually won)

Argeth 07 Dec 2009 17:53

Well, in that case I'd chalk it up to a poolshark, not try and kill him for the watch… but that is a somewhat valid point. But he does stutter a bit about you wanting the watch… I think the comment starts 'but.. you're not..' or whatever. So the third eye as a whole might be interested in the watch… but they can't beat him at pool. And in the bar, a murder would be kinda obvious. (Which does raise the question of what happens when we fight in there.) I don't know, really, the watch seems an odd focal point, even if it's just an obsession from a single thug.. but if it's just a single thug, why is Anthony so on guard?
