As for playing a game with Tarot, it can be stacked as any other card deck, if you remove the Major Arcana. There's also the one you mentioned, 3V1L, which would seem similar to black jack. I suck at card games other than black jack, solitaire and poker, so that would be for you card sharks in the thread.

Suggested Divination Meanings - The Pope or Hierophant is generally seen as a spiritual teacher, one who gives advice and guidance to those seeking it. In both the Tarot de Marseille and the Waite-Colman Smith, he is shown giving a blessing, a sign of kindness, love and protection. He is the one who connects man to God or the Gods, and as a result represents (structured) religion and the value of tradition (as opposed to the freely flowing spirituality of the Popess or High Priestess).
However, in a few decks, such as the Robin Wood Tarot, this card is interpreted in a negative light and is seen as indicating repression, oppression and rigour.
Could that be DeMolay or Lenny?
[meta] I have to say, as a novice tarot reader, there is absolutely nothing interesting in these draws, unless we are looking for people that match the profiles of the cards. So unless there's something about the order of the numbers for a code, they need to pull in the suit cards.

DeMolay=Lenny
I wonder if we have to work with the "Divination Meanings" or the actual "game" with tarot card. (of which I have no clue but what I have read about on Wiki.)
I think that there's something about the order of the numbers for a code.
Considering the way they were posted...
April 12: the lovers (single card) - 6
April 13: The Empress and the High Priestess ( La Pappessa) - 3 - 2
April 14: The Empress - 3
April 15: The Empress and The Emperor - 3 - 4
April 16 The Empress and Hierophant 3 - 5
6 32 3 34 35

There's a new post on Port's blog with two more cards on it. They are the Empress card above a different Emperor card.

I'm in the "unless it's a prologue to Rachel's Walk, it aint Night" camp... and I really doubt it is.
Wasn't Nighthawk on vacation for a few days there, too? Considering the rate at which DecepTech has been moving, I don't think this would be progressing as fast as it has been.
Could be wrong. /shrug

Also, I was doing some research and came across what I think to be our PM's blog:
I highly doubt that this is Nighthawk's game since he's PM'ing DecepTech (Downstream). Besides, this game seems too unorthodox for even him.
This is true, unless you consider the possibility that this is a tie-in to Rachel's walk. Aside from the rabbit referencing, there have been multiple references to clouds and dark, ie. brainclouds and darklight.
It's a very well narrated interactive fiction, so far.
