 		I'm a bit disappointed, to be honest. I liked the 52 cards = 52 weeks theme, but this is now spoilt by having a break. I hope this isn't a sign of a loss of momentum.

 		No, I think this is specifically to give us a chance to address the issue with the Queen and creating our letter. However, I do wish they had done a mock-up card like they did with Christmas break. Some songs to encourage us or something. Wink

 		Who said anything about giving up, Mr/s 'at work'? Not me.

The anally retentive part of me is mourning the loss of the perfect card-week match, and the pessimist is worrying about the gap. That's all. Look, I even added a task.

 		I know this is mostly unrelated, but could people quit doing the 'at work' kind of guest logins if they're not actually going to log in? I don't mind 'too lazy to log in (username here)' that certain people do (Suuuuujin Razz), but I'd like to see a name or username associated somewhere. At least sign off of the post with it, please.

Sorry if I'm completely in the wrong to ask, it just drives me a little nuts to not know who is behind the words.

Edit: He's got a MS page here Good Find, Dillon!

 		Before Intermission was changed to the 5D, Jonah had posted this bulletin on myspace. He has since taken it down.

Body: Oh no, wait a sec. It isn't. It's just a break.

It's time for you to coordinate the efforts you've been discussing to rid the Deck of those who might be shifting things way off course.

It's a time for you to breathe.It's a time for you to spend time relaxing, reading a book, creating new art to be used for future SL efforts, taking care of your pets, visiting family etc.

It's a time to do what you want and not feel obligated to do anything.

If I may borrow a line from someone a lot more wise and a lot more patient than myself, "Ye of little faith."

C'mon guys, a little credit perhaps? Again.

Much Love and Respect For Those Who Aren't Giving Up Because Of A Little Down Time,

Jonah (2C)

 		Angel sent off this link to 5D: http://www.amazon.com/Ape-Language-Conditioned-Response-Intelligence/dp/0231061986

And got this as a reply:

Quote:
Angelsdemise,

That book is indeed the influence for our music, and what you see this week at Silverladder. Yet there is more fabric woven into this current tapestry than is perhaps apparent. We are not concerned, however, as the Passengers are always swift to find the needle in the haystack.

That book is sitting right next to me. The Two of Diamonds gave it to me as a gift a while ago.

Nice to meet you.

 		-I've been sending messages back and forth between myself and 5D, mostly about Shakespeare.

Quote:
I think it was that he was a good writer (not a great writer) who just wrote certain things before anyone else got around to writing them. In that way, he was a good writer, and a great innovator. It was more foresight than it was strength of the pen.


--Son Of Walter


My reply:

Quote:
-Sometimes that's all it takes to achieve greatness. "Ahead of their time", "Someone with an eye for the future", "The first person to...", etc.

P.-


And the really interesting reply to that:

Quote:
Indeed.

And what if a new communication medium is actually a blend of several types of media. And those individual types of media have all been pushed to the limit. It's a "been there, done that" kind of thing. But the blend of all of them together has never been exploited in a certain way. And a guy comes along and talks with other like-minded people and they sit down and form a plan. It's starts to make a buzz... like the hum of some electronic device. And people start listening to the hum... more and more and more people. And it makes an impact.

These people aren't doing anything that a million others haven't already done, but they're blending it in a way that is unique. "No one ever used an ounce of radio here when two grams of snail mail was present and then threw in a dash of shortwave transmission and a postcard! This IS unique."

Blah blah frickety blah.

--Son Of John

 		5D's bulletins on MySpace:

Quote:
Subject: Sometimes things keep shifting and things are ruled by
Body: Ah Hmm Proportions


Quote:
Subject: Think you have ideas? Answers? Solutions?
Body: For the first time on this journey, you will be told not to share... for now.

When gates are placed in front of you
Those who revealed the keys to those around them
Will not be the first to enter

And in this situation, it may make a difference.

No gates yet. Hold on to your keys. We will not let them rust.


Quote:
Subject: A request for artwork... or poetry... or prose
Body: We know it is so early in our week, yet even before we opened the door, we all had more than a twinge of jealousy over the love shown to the prior cards via artwork or other means.

 		Okay, I'm not really playing along this week (since I've got other things to do; schoolwork, getting everything out of boxes in the apartment, etc.) but I have been lurking. Plus, it's kind of hard to miss bulletins:

Quote:
Subject: If things are slow to appear, develop, and progress

Body: Perhaps the chimps will revolt and begin throwing feces, or perhaps they will learn to use symbols to communicate to indicate what they want, or perhaps they will evolve entirely, wear pants, and begin driving luxury cars (cards?).

I am sure there is a happy medium in there somewhere.

Frankly, I am a bit surprised. We have gathered that the test subjects must have the object pointed to, or they have to be verbally commanded before they will approach it and inspect it.

And to think, no one is really holding them back from writing some Shakespeare on a typewriter, or better yet, solving problems that they may not even know exist yet, or answering questions that they have the answers to but don't realize have been asked.

Must we formally ask?

Fascinating, to be certain.

--Son Of John


If it wasn't obvious before .. it certainly feels fairly unquestionable now: we're the chimps.

(Apologies to you all if this was already discussed, but it's nice to leave the trail behind for others to follow, as you know).
