It's a terrible hand. Not only is it the Dead Man's Hand, but nobody with four cards wins in a game of five card draw.

The last card to the Dead Man's Hand is not verified, but apparently it's either

Five of Diamonds
Nine of Diamonds
Queen of Clubs
King of Spades

In order of Credibility, according to rec.gambling.poker FAQ

All right, IRC has gotten pretty far. Still, like last night, we've stalled again.

NightmareTony realized that...

damn I've been pounding away at this with my bro on all possibilities....maybe Wild bill had another name, James Butler Hickok doesn't work in any combination. Maybe someone else experienced this hand.

Five of Diamonds
Nine of Diamonds
Queen of Clubs
King of Spades

Apologies if this has been seen before, I just picked up this thread today

At least now we have the next log. A personal spec is about HIM dsrawing up a device to unshackle her spirit. Spec is that its the communicator for Syn to talk to all of us. Ecce is in charge of it all, which is why sdhe monitors the conversations.

chippy

very well done everyone! good solve!
the "unshackle Synagoga's chains" thing reminded me of the last chat where syn said of her new friend "She said that names restrict oneself".
[spec]...
i think that this new friend may be the way that They and The Man seek to increase Syns powers. Perhaps also, the new friend is Ecclesiastia, as Ecc doesnt show up, and the new friend appears , and the log file asks if ecc wants to be the one, to do this.

What about the "Who holds me?"

Is there a reason for this?
