Correct.

Also, the "Once and Future King" is what Saul's claiming. Not Flynn.

Eh, kind of goes like this:

Jonah and Flynn were like, bein' dumb. And thought they'd break into Korp for Morcar (someone correct me if I'm wrong).

Flynn got captured although Morcar and Jonah escaped.

No one really worried about saving Flynn (as he was originally a 'replacement' Club; the five, to be exact. We don't know who he replaced, per se).

Now he's been released after having been in capitivity for all this time and little Orion (the 'Elvis impersonator', or whatever) has been telling us that Flynn's hell-bent on revenge against Jonah.

-- if I'm missing anything, someone please feel free to add.

Upon a second reading, I noticed this:

Quote:
Perhaps you weren't the one rolling the dice. It was just some jackass.

'Jack'ass, huh? More like, a Jack, perhaps?

Seems like a big coincidence, if that's all it is. (Or maybe I'm reading too much into this?)

Well, it IS S.W. whose license can be seen on the Jack of Diamonds page. Wouldn't surprise me. (haha)

Which could explain his hatred of him now. Sacrificed for Jonah's safe return and in response Jonah puts on HamWar and leaves Flynn there....

LOL, I was kidding about the outline... I just had to refresh myself about Saul's flip from feeling bad about having to tell us about the pool and his self promotion to psedo-King. I am assuming the TRUE King of Spades was not truly overthrown as there was no Deck announcement from the Aces or any other claim as such other than Saul that I can find.

Hell, I can't remember what I had for breakfast.

Orion:
Quote:
I can hover here in limbo as long as I need to.
It's not me you need to worry about.
It is Flynn.
I guess they finally turned him.
I heard it in his voice.
He said he is coming back to right the balance.
Eye for an eye.
Tooth for a tooth.
I am afraid of what he might do.
He said he has shed his skin, shed his suit, and gained in stature.
He said he must sacrifice the one he once sacrificed for.
He said so much was taken from him for the sake of the Deck.
And now he must take back.

Looks like we're getting Flynn back tonight!

Pretty exciting stuff. I look forward to seeing him.

Who is Jackson Rake again? Also, I got one reply from Jonah yesterday but nothing today. I warned him about Flynn.

trout me if this has been found, crown me if not...

RE: Jackson "Jack" Rake

Regardless of what anyone tells you, he was 27 years old. Believe me, I know. (bolding added by me)

Prior to leaving Las Vegas (LV = Korp HQ...)

This is from http://vinylpants.livejournal.com/

which links to a user posting on the VP page at LJ, Spiky Drew http://spikeydrew.livejournal.com/

there is more here... don't know if all these people are fake or real or what... but figured this was MOSDEF worth mentioning

am currently "working on my ARG article" (but its so boring I figured I'd do a bit of net snooping to see wussup).

His reply (but BEFORE the most recent e-mail I sent to him; see above):

But it sure looks like you all stood around and cheered him on. Did you
have a nice little war? Doesn't even look like you finished it. You know
what, they were right. You people can't even finish anything. You
couldn't see the journey through to the end. You couldn't be bothered to
pay attention long enough while I was being held captive. Hell, you
couldn't even finish your little insult of a game that was played in my
absence. After a while, I can't help but see a trend of failure and a
lack of commitment in all of this. What are ideals without follow-through
and perseverance?

So is it Jonah or Dom? Think you can get your story straight for more
than one email at a time?

I have better things to do.

You know, my mindset upon my return was relieved, followed by annoyed.
I'm now reaching a much less diplomatic state. You're certainly not
helping. Then again, none of you are. Pigs.

My reply:
Quote:
Petty insults that don't even apply
to whom you are throwing them at.

I'm quite possibly the only person
who sees where you're coming from.

Be angry at me all you like. I have
better things to do as well, Flynn.

apparently all the Clubs are doomed to fall
in one way, or another


Hah. I feel dumb. Just realized he was talking about HamWar. Someone else (i.e. S.W.) rolling dice. Calling us pigs and all. Maybe he doesn't like bacon.

And I found out about spikeydrew and found her AIM screen name. I messaged her way way way back and got some interesting results but she said she was always busy doing something else. She also seems to be always online and has been since I first messaged her. I found that to be a sign that I was on the wrong path.

Although I will say that when I first messaged her with "Who is Jackson Rake?" I got the response "Jackson Rake is a dead man. Who wants to know?"
