    A few notes on the game:

    1) The algorithm or RNG the computer dealer uses seems to be very overpowered in its favor. Most of the time in my inter-bbs league people won't play if they are winning. It would be more fun if the computer dealer was not such a cheater :) thus promoting gameplay

    2) In the game you can send inter-bbs messages to other players but they never get them.

    3) the score only updates once a day when "GAC_BJ maintain" is ran. It would be nice if the game had an "outbound" switch so you can update scores league wide after people are done playing

    I plan on testing all the InterBBS features after I finish up whipping all the doors into shape.

    It looks like the dealer plays standard casino rules standing on a soft 17.

    It looks like the GAC games do, in fact, have an outbound option... I've added it to the command-line help output.

    More than happy to help test InterBBS functions when you're ready as I have Blackjack, Wahoo and Freecell running at https://x-bit.org/info/xleague/

    When it comes to tossing interbbs packets back and forth, I'm not sure that Sync can test the *.msg functions as it may not support the *.msg standard that most all dos interbbs doors use. So you'll need to create automations moving the outbound packets around so they can be sent via the mailer. I'm still using Internet Rex so its not an issue for me.

    Attached is a *.msg example that Blackjack made and its config setup.
