 		I'm playign catch up here still, and thought it may have been new...s there really is nothing new going on in this game it seems. It looks like someone got started then took a long vacation. I expected the sarkanas site to have news also and nothing. Hard to go with a gamer that doesn't keep you going.

Welcome to uF, bgingras! We're kind of at a halt right now with the game- the only things that I can see we need to figure out right now are, 1) the username/password combo for the Ravenwood log-in over at Jennings and Rall, and 2) where do hozhq and hochq(found via rice blackjack) apply?

Of note: I'm sure all of you that have been here a while remember hozhq/hochq being in the ajkin map during the "Are you BORED yet?"(link goes to image of said map with wording) phase(for those new- the map at www.ajkin.com updated to read this, and the word hochq and hozhq were also in the map). How could they connect?

EDIT: I wonder if there's any significance to the other wording from the map? Remembering- the flash for the map during the interview phase- upon decompiling, it actually read "inpreview" rather than "interview."

We sure there's nothing else to find at AYAB?

 		So I had lost my wireless connection and when I got reconnected, the followthehozhq page was no longer automatically connected; that is to say, that I got the page that reads, "You do not possess the right tools to see... Come back when you do." Determined to get it back, I started playing the Mayan card game again. While I was doing that, I realized that the winning hand is actually 23, not 21. *headslap*

mortality, there certainly might be more to find on AYAB... who knows.

Does the 20 card act like an ace, either 20 or 1? I lost a hand with 16+20 cards vs. a 19.

The 20 is also an automatic win.

I still haven't figured out how to go past this screen.

 		How I got past the "....Come back when you do." page
As far as I can tell, yes, the 20 can also be an ace (value of 1). It's only from the 20 card that you have a chance of getting to the Mayan divination page. (I kept refreshing the page until a 20 is dealt to me.) I don't know a lot about Black Jack, but I think this is the "insurance" play.
When you bet on the 20, that card is turned on it's side. The deal is different than the other deals. (There may be two sets dealt, or the pattern might be in a diagonal across the table.) I haven't figured out if all the cards are the dealers, or which, if any, go towards my hand. {eta: If someone knows, I'd appreciate an explanation.} Anyway, I just keep clicking on "hit me" until I bust or win. Smile

Truly, dumb luck. Wink

 		the best luck i've had with the game is with these "rules of thumb"

stand on 17,18,19, and of course 20 (autowin on 20 i think)

hit me on anything up to 14.

15 and 16 depends on how lucky you feel and what other cards you see on the table.

 		Anyone looked at http://www.sacredhatcasino.com/html/listmsg.php?idsection=7&idsssection=50 yet?

The caption "This is a cousin Tooman and Will from Lame Deer. Both too young to scout yet."

Quite a number of posts also speak to a "Tom". Are we getting close to meeting him?
