    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.

    #1 of the first three items i listed can be removed. As the games config program has an option of total number of decks. Reducing this to 1 deck from 5 will enhance the humans chance of winning. That said, it would be nice if this option was also in the interbbs.cfg as each BBS should be plaing with the same amount of decks.
