Since 3D (Saul) has just been revealed, it seems likely that people haven't had time to fully explore the new pages. There is one important thing that has come up, however.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Saul has written us a letter stating that the Aces have decided to fold two of the deuces. Folding is, essentially, permanently silencing them. We will be the ones to decided who is folded and who will stay. All of the deuces have been unsilenced this week.
The letter and instructions may be found by going through all the pages and filling the pool of tears, or you may follow this link.
On a happy note, we now know 2D's name! Domenic!
I think another potential task may be to find out what was in the briefcase. I asked him, and he said that he was asking us.

Has anyone stooped to consider the fact that the whole premise that this is wrong on every level. The very favt that the aces have dominion over what is essentially the lives of these characters should be openly challenged. Everyone has the right to live, speak and befriend whom they choose. If a rule is unjust it ought not to be followed. The fact that the aces seek to pass the burden of choosing who remains onto us is merely an extension of their unjust control. I refuse to be led into doing something i know is wrong. The deuces have given us a message about the power of love, about the fact that it is not necessary to have a critic to appreciate art and the sheer beauty of chaos yet the accept the aces authority without question, which makes little sense. I refuse to vote as I do not assume the right to place value on the life of one friend over another. This does not mean i intend to leave all four to their fate. I intend to offer Jonah and the others an alternative to sacrifice. fighting for their continued existence for each is uniquely beautiful and existence is his or her right to be defended.

DoubleCross, I just want to point out that you're doing an awesome job documenting what goes down on Sunday's, and doing it quickly. Please keep doing what you're doing.

Thanks, IronJ!
Having said that I may not be able to do an update on 23 or 30 December as I will be on holiday, but I still might depending on local Internet facilities. If anyone else will be around then, feel free to step into the breach.
Incidentally, I was surprised that this week was 3D, I thought it would be 3C. Seems the suits are not in a fixed order.
I agree that we should not accept this 'folding' proposal and should seek to keep all the cards flat!

The Two of Clubs told me before the rabbit hole opened that the cards were shuffled, and likely would not appear in the same order.

And if we reject this "folding" proposal, the Two of Clubs will sacrifice himself. By not voting, we vote for HIM to fold himself, and we'll likely lose the other three as a result. Saul fought hard for us to be able to keep two of them, and we should be grateful for what little we got.

3d When clicking on the words "never coming back"
the words "it is" shows up.
"never coming back" takes you to a site about self-distructive art...

I agree with watch, the voting isn't negotiable.

To vote or not to vote? Obedience, mutiny or something else all together?

I think Michelle has a valid point. Not that I'm in favor of boycotting the vote. But this vote is an example of a larger contradiction in silverladder. I'm talking about the seeming hypocrisy of advocating freedom of expression and thought while accepting the hierarchy and power of the Aces.
I am not so bothered by this. Just find it curious. So how to respond to this contradiction? Mutiny seems pointless. If I don't like the rules of Monopoly, I just don't play. Obedience seems to also miss the mark. My hunch is that they are aware of this contradiction and expect us to wrestle with it. So I'm confused. What do you all think?

Was there not the tyrannical Queen of Hearts in Alice in Wonderland?
Why should our Wonderland be any different? What is a good story without an antagonist or two?
To me it just shows that maybe theres more depth to these guys than I originally thought.

Well put, Mr. Star. So we have a story with antagonists. I agree, that makes for a good story. And we are also a part of the story. So now we each have a decision to make. How to respond to the antagonism? Within the reality of the game, is it permissible to question the authority of the Aces? And is it even productive to do so?
I'm just raising questions.
