 		Just recieved this email...

The title was To-whom

Quote:
There is trouble brewing and more than one group is brewing it. We have warned you time and time again not to get involved. Our blessed two decades of silence was hard won, and now the others have insisted on starting this war again.
And what have you done? Not much. You've shown them than Anna has found the key, but not the lock, the question, but not the answer, and she failed miserably when the Wise One was under her nose. Also from what we know about Anna today, we are shocked that you've chosen to use her for your little morality tale. What do you hope to accomplish? What exactly are you trying to teach the Keepers? Or worse, do you think you can rewrite the past? Even if you could, would it change what is to come?
This group of Keepers is not yet strong enough, which is not surprising, since they haven't gone through any intense training. What you need to do is give them a real test.
Lay people are involved, innocent bystanders. More lives may be compromised or even lost. There is no time to waste with your little games.
Your decisions impact not only people's lives, but also world events.
Cards are not playthings or trinkets or game pieces. As we have discovered, they are objects of power. Certainly the cards most people have access to and they ways in which they use those cards are harmless, but the potential is there.
On more than one occasion you have failed and Anna has failed. There is no more room for error. We may have to take on the task of training the Keepers ourselves.
The more you mess around with storytelling and games, the more the other side has time to gain power.
Table this nonsense now so that we can all move forward, or better yet, let us put this behind us as we did for twenty years and once again we will have some peace. We are watching, waiting, and evaluating. We haven't yet determined if we can allow this to continue.

 		I got the same email but it was in my spam folder for some reason. So if you didn't get it, check there.

No idea on the pw. Still thinking...

 		It occurred to me that did we actually burn Anna's house down by choosing the Tower card. Because "This is what happens when children play with matches" and now someone is mad, because we're not strong enough or understand the whole Keeper thing properly.

(Oh hey, my drawing was chosen as the facebook cover picture. Yay Smile )

 		Was anyone else a little dissapointed in the "digging" post? Two cards were basically ignored. Maybe its just me but it just didn't seem complete to me.

Anywho... Them ARE fighting words lol

 		Hi theroddd: dunno as am not too Tarot savvy. Elethamei, have already liked you & HP on FB! Good tip, Lisa. Wish I could whack in PWs but am getting an early night.

I've seen the attached. Among other questions it reminded me that I needed to ask you if the Wise One might be the homeless man at the train station in Flagstaff.

He seemed to mirror the beggar in Cicilia's story.

Subject: the wise one

Very observant, Amandel. You are correct.

I scratched my head at it, because it seemed that way, but I don't think that it is the case. The other two cards were likely more subtle in nature -- that, or the effects of those cards haven't happened yet. I trust it is one of those two, I sincerely do. Wink

@amandel: Oh la, la, aren't you just amazing sauce? Way to go pal! Rock On

Now to think about this password...(don't expect some great revelation here Laughing )

EDIT: This might be a silly or obvious comment, but the "To Whom" doc wasn't directed at us. It was directed at Sylvana and the Mad Bad Womanly Poetics (band name?). Yet, they "forwarded" it to us because it is about us. Does anyone have any thoughts about that? Did someone hi-jack their e-mail? Something else? Am I being silly again? Shocked

I asked about it and was told the writer of the memo was not important. So they meant to forward it to us and won't tell us who wrote it. Or won't tell me Smile

HI all. Have emailed Winter about a possible hidden message in the text (easier seen in its original format) THX S.P.I. Embarassed Cool & isn't this PW a real head banger.
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
After "test" all the first paragraph capitalized words read: Lay Your Cards On The Table

Laughing Laughing Wow S.P.I, wow...I actually do this thing where I look at capital letters and start trying to put them together into sentences (I do this automatically, even when not in ARG mode). With that said, I looked at all of those letters and thought it spelt: Lycott. A surname. Ha ha ha...if I actually bothered to look at the words...ha ha ha. I'm useless.

Ahem. Anyway, thanks a lot buddy! Cool

(Is it sad that I feel completely lost?)

Can we assume Anna pulls an Anakin Skywalker?

 		Does this hidden message mean that we should send our cards to them? Or what? Because I tried that as a password and it didn't work. I feel really slow and stupid, but I blame my condition (coughing like crazy and can't breathe properly).
Nice job on solving that btw. Can't believe I didn't notice that Confused

 		Feel better soon, Elethamei. Haven't had a reply which sometimes means there is more to do. Am also sick, taking some Nyquil to sleep but will check my mail soon.

Oh, TBelle, betcha you are right about Anna. **If she is on the dark side now there had better be brownies** My brain hurts; this PW isn't helping & Lycott is Cool
