Hopes and speculation
What you think will- or should- happen

I've been thinking a lot about what it would be neat to see happen with the cards once the hole opens, and I figure I may as well TRY and change reality. If you ever think "HOLY CRAP, MAKE (thing) HAPPEN NAO PLOX", this is the thread for you. You can post your own speculations, or discuss one that's already been posted.


To start this off, I've been thinking what a cool dynamic it would be if the kings and queens were revealed at the same time, especially if they're actually partners for real. I'd like to be a part of that little extra drama that comes with a relationship. :3

Based on some things that some of the deuces have said (mainly 2C), I'm prepared for anything. I get the idea that reality (or fiction) can be turned on its ear at any moment. So I'm forcing myself to have no expectations. That way I don't get attached to a card, or a website, or a myspace page, or a phone number, or whatever, only to have it disappear or turn all crazy one day. The less I expect, the more I think I will enjoy this.

I do have hopes though. My hope? That this thing doesn't get ARGjacked to death like the last two ARGs I attempted to get involved with. Sometimes the jackers add to the circus feel of it all but sometimes (like with this one), they just seem to detract from it. It makes me want to tell people, "Come up with your own idea. Do something original. I dare you."

Does this make sense to anyone else?

Loli, I think you have some cool ideas about all this. I liked your Alice theory.

good one loli, the kings and the queens being partners and DRAMA! i love it. lol.

But hmmmm, i don't have any really good theories but i'd like to see interaction between the cards personally. you know, the 2's talking to the 3's or something like that.

I'm so paranoid, I'm wondering if there would be an inward conflict like the 5's against the 9's or something. What if the Korp starts stealing cards? I mean, what if this turns into a big war and if some of the cards leave, some of us go with them? I hope not but hey, let's be realistic. Why is the Korp putting us down for following the cards? Why did 6C turn against the rest of the cards? Why are the Jokers willing to play both sides?

There are so many questions I have but mostly I'm skeptical.

2C is still the homie.

I have more theories, but I'd like to hear everyone else's Smile

War Stories

Since we're speculating...
I was thinking the conflict on this journey will be more of a setting. Of course there will be a conflict, but I don't think this'll be an all out war story.
This has been a pretty hectic prologue all ready though, and we've been introduced to just a small fraction of the participants, but I expect a few shaper turns up ahead.

I still think everything we come up with is the driving force behind what unfolds in-game...

I agree with Wittgenstein... this is probably outside the full control of any one force (even if you count Silverladder and Korp as single forces). I can't wait to see just how this develops through the interplay of all these amazing elements. Regardless I have no doubt it will inspire and fire thought, communion and passionate discourse, research and teamwork... other than that, the rest will be just icing on the coconut cake, eh, droogs?

Which is why I created this topic. No one has been saying anything new, just spewing the facts.

Give them some ideas, people!

XD

Hmmmmmm


6C actually was a spy and not a true traitor and got some recruits from korporation, in which one of them happened to be one of the jokers...



Very Happy

The only hope I have for this game is to come to completion... And the PM doesn't leave us dangeling.

It's the hillbilly slang for the same thing. Wink

Funny. =)

I mean, what are you afraid of the PM (or PMs) doing?

Someone from the core will replace 6C, and if any other cards get pulled away to join the korp, a few more of us will become cards.


Very Happy
