Good to hear from you. Sounds like you're really beating yourself up over
this. Remember, there's so much we can't say yet. And we have almost a
month to go until we really get started. Patience is the watchword.
A thought about chaos and art: Pablo Picasso and John Coltrane are both
well-known for their chaotic, almost non-sensical art. But remember that
they were both absolute masters of their respective established forms
before they ventured out into their own territories.
For a Coltrane comparison, compare Miles Davis' All Blues with the
Coltrane quartet's Sun Ship or Coltrane's work with Rashied Ali on the
album Interstellar Space. He sounds like two or even three different
musicians, but in his mind, he knew exactly where he was headed, because
he knew all the basics. Feet on the ground, head in the clouds, if you
will.
Picasso you can find at the library. Look for a comprehensive biography,
not a cubism primer.
I suspect that by the time you get to designing the Kings and Queens, if
you so choose (love the roses card, by the way, I'm jealous), you will
yourself be straining against whatever standard form you may have stepped
into. That only comes through patience and practice. Chaos from the rote.
Innovation is the improvement of the existing. Otherwise, it's just a
mess.

Regret? Regret is a wasted emotion, why regret it when you can embrace it. I feel for you fallen soul child. No more tears will be shead on your behalf, or your prized Athena. I leave you, I have spread the word, you will come to conclusion sooner or later that that Monotone in the walls of the Korp will save your life. The Korp will live, rebellion will fall.
Long ... Live ... The ... Korp

They wouldn't take me anyway. When I was trying to infiltrate them they completely ignored me. So... whatever.
Burning corpses? Sounds delicious. Seeing as I'm going to hell, I'm sure I'll get used to it.
Do you regret joining up with Korp?

There are things deeper then what meets your eye child. I had no choice, once the walls come down on you there is no stopping them, no escape. I serve because I have no choice. There power is far greater then what some citizens see. Once they have their grip on you, its is less painful to give in, to give up. The smells of burnt corpses are far more sickening then the smell of burnt art. I am sorry child, but give in, become a Shadow, adandon your prophet. Live in the freedom of the walls of the Korp.

alskjdlaksjdaksjd No. It's just not cool to burn down a warehouse with ART. Regardless of who owns it, it is absolutely despicable.
If they think it is right to destroy art, then they have a huge enemy in me and I'm not fun to deal with.
Tell me more about you. Why were you chosen as their messenger?

You are wise child. We find freedom in the walls we call home. To the topic you made of the Korp burning property. This is a very common misconception. For what you see as fires of hatred and scorn, they see as natural selection

I want to make my cause my own. I don't want my cause to be a search for power. I am charismatic, a natural born leader, I have power without working at it. I don't to be told how to talk or walk. The Korporation restricts me, while Athena allows a lot more freedom to learn and understand on my own.
Ask your Korporation why they burn down their buildings, if not out of fear? What do the cards hold that would cause such rage as to destroy property?
We always need a bad guy, Rob, and I commend you for playing it. I fell in love with the cards too fast to really experiment with sides. I suppose, in that, you are just a bit stronger than me.

How blinded can you be child, things CAN be more then they seem. You dont think that a prophet can be masked as a citizen. Watching you? Testing you? I hide in the comfort and serenity of the Korp. Why do you trust this Athena? Dont you understand, this is MUCH bigger then you or I. The times will change, the world will change. You cant imagine the answer to the "Secret". Please child, seek serenity, seek salvation, security, and a sense of false freedom. There is more to the things your mess in, a greater cause. . . Long live the Korp

The Korp is true, the one guide to the answers, its secrets are our blessings. I have been chosen as a speaker, a secretary for my loyalty. The Korp will never fail you, if you never fail it. Athena is a warped version of the Korps creatings, a copy cat, and a false one at that. Only believe half what you hear, there is a false prophet among us. Stay on your feet child, and keep your eyes open. Spread my message to your peers, the Korp is alive.

:) Thank you for your thoughts. However, I would think the time for judging would rather be 11/11, or at least a date closer than a month away from then?
What is it that you like most about the Korporation?

Dont follow Athena, or follow the ones who follow her. All of those associated are fake, take heed sister, the Korp is at hand, and the ladder is breaking. The time to judge has struck the hour.

That card is known as a death card, so the death of the game.
Because the original place to find the image, and the only place I could certainly, was found on DEVIANTART.
Deviantart, of course, being a well known art site.
This is more based on M:TA than anything else we've seen it based on. The whole premise is based on the Silver Ladder group! But still, there IS other imagery.
I don't think this is viral marketing for the White Wolf (nice way to slip that in, by the way. When I saw the company, I instantly connected it with the bulletin) or M:TA. None of the players on the board seem to have known about it, because I seem to be the first one to post about it.
It seems our puppetmaster was a fan. I'm betting on that being all.
48 Silverladder M:TA related articles. Take a dip.

Remember this image?

That's from here:

( More info from another site about SL )
This is probably a player of the game. But I found some of his phrases interesting.

In my opinion, the cards want as many Mercury players as possible.
It's also fun to see what card you are based on your birthday.
( I'm March 28th, so I am the 8 of Clubs: )
-We will not be handed information on a silver platter
-The rabbit hole will open on 11:11 at 11:11 AM
-This had a beginning
-There will be an "end"
-There will be chaos
The puzzle is fluid, but even fluidity can be defined in loose terms. Sometimes, that's all you need to get in deep enough. Pull out more information, share it, grow smaller, fit deeper. The information is the liquid in the bottle we must drink to get in deeper, becoming smaller and smaller and finding out more.
I am overly tired and barely making sense to myself.
Be kind to reality, my friends, we don't want it all to come crashing down.
These cards are simply letting us take a peak through our looking glass. Some cards are holding it up longer than others.
What earth-shattering event that is out of our hands will define our reality next?
( Possible teenage angst. I suck. )

POLITICS AND REBELLION
With the relation of the cards and the Korporation as it currently is, it is likely that one group has rebelled against the other, though I'm quite sure I cannot say which. Here is the symbolism behind Politics and Rebellion:
( P&R )
And so on. Basically, we need to keep an eye out for any symbols often used by either the cards or the Korp. So far, the Korp often uses the letter K. I will look into symbolism behind that, if there is any.
There is much talk about cars and so on by the Korporation, as well, so here is what my book has to say about car advertising:
( The Car- A Symbol of the Industrial Age )
The Korporation sure does seem to embody everything Americans strives to have- sex, speed, power, wealth and status.

This is one of my more far fetched ideas, in that SL is somehow involved with Neurocam.
( Read more. Click! )
( And when I say I love these cards, I could not possibly be lying )
That's it!
I love 2h.
( And this made me feel proud of myself )
I have some work to do, though, based on tonight's HUGE HUGE HUGE events.
