Plenty to read, anything leaping out at anyone else as being relevant to us at this moment in time? So far, it looks like we may have a potential date for...well, "something" from the following passage.

"The hiatus in celebration of the midwinter festivals and games from 0BC to 22AD did not disrupt this steady trend.

The Cube was discovered in 7AD according to the timeline, 0BC/1AD being the "birth of the modern age". The War is listed as being 67BC, but clearly something occurred at this point which interrupted the centuries old Midwinter traditions.

Courtesy of google, I found a set of rules for a game called Clash.

Im not sure it is the same game though.

seems more like a game of "brag" than "poker" to me
but nevertheless it might be connected

EDIT ok -- looking again its not poker or brag --- just strange

Almost certainly not important but the formatting of the pages in IE is off, with large white spaces above all of the main text elements. Looks ok in Firefox though...

oh neat

they (vaguely) used my idea (kinda) fFor logo (roughly).

Like, remember that thing on Open-design soliciting fFor sentinel ads? here's one I submitted. Then I also sent a copy of the logo itself at a higher, more useful res. Of course, they never really used anyone's ads, and eventually added some entirely different ones. Still, I'm going to take this is a nod in my direction. Also I have no life.

the logo is Rodin's sculpture of "Man Having a Crap" isn't it?
