Also, to justify this posts existance in this forum, has anybody worked out what the suits that you get in your profile mean yet? (pretty sure spades=card finder, clubs=social club, but not sure on diamond (which appeared in mine a couple days back). anyone got hearts?)

To answer this question, Spades does mean you've found a card.
Diamond means you've been to andadaughter's profile. Club means you've been to thedealer's profile. So if you've found both, your current suit is determined by the last profile you've visited.

As near as I can tell, there is no hearts. looking at the naming convention, diamond is 1, club is 2, spades is 3, twoOfSpades is 4... up to you've run out of spades. I didn't find any additional diamonds, clubs, or any hearts to speak of.

 		I spec that the hearts will be representative of that last section of the Top Players board we haven't got anyone in yet, the "Fellowship of the Dead"...

Maybe that will be spawned by live events

Thanks for the post - I edited to include a link to the guide.

I don't know of any transcripts to the phone calls - that is a good point and we should make the transcriptions.


Indeed...if noone else has done it by tonight, I will write them out when I get home from work.

**EDIT: I've started on the transcriptions, should have them done sometime later tonight

 		On the front page, the flashing message is "If you'RE readinG this, I'M already DEAD", with that capitalization. Anagram of IREGIMDEAD doesn't seem to turn up anything useful, has anyone else done anything with this? Is it even a clue?

 		The number of people that added you to their quicklinks. The higher the number the different color the skull.

 		I love LCP! I always knew I'd only really get into an ARG if I could start close to the beginning of it and so I have.

Does anyone have a summary, or a synopsis of the story we've gotten so far from the cards that've been discovered?

hat being said, I'm curious to those who have found cards: Did you get to a certain point and then start just spamming guesses? As the first and easiest example, starting with Clay...was it "she called him a padre..so I'll try ClaySizemore, PastorSizemore, PadreClay, Padre, PastorClay, Pastor, ReverendClay...." till you got to "preacher"?


Getting "preacher" was something of a lucky guess. Rather too lucky, it would seem, as when I unlocked him his player card was less complete than it is now, with just the God text. The police report appeared some hours later. At that point, with no cards discovered, I was stabbing in the dark as to likely usernames. No usernames based on real names had then been found, so I was keying off the more iconic names, with the knowledge that I was looking for a man of the cloth. Still, "preacher" came pretty easily. It's even there in Lucy's You always were bad luck.

I don't know of any summary or a "story so far"-type-thing, but I made a page that lists everything we know about the characters. I tried to include as many references and links as possible to factual information about them. I think if you just read through that, you'll be pretty much up-to-date, since there isn't really a "story" to speak of, yet. There is also a list of characters on the wiki - very detailed, and probably much better.

The skulls are an indication of how many buddies you have.

Near as we can tell, if you quicklink somebody, and they quicklink back, you become "Poker Buddies"

I believe, and please correct me if I'm wrong, the order of the color goes

White - less then 10 (?)
Blue - Less then 25 (?)
Green - Less then 100 (?)
Gold - 100 on up (?)

 		There's one further skull we haven't seen yet - http://www.lastcallpoker.com/img/icons/icon_skull5.gif - which is red. In the name of research, we should all try adding krysten to our contacts lists. Wink

 		Beheh.

Oh hey, I have a question: so, like, what does Lucy's ID name mean?

"andadaughter"? She's thedealer's niece. What's up with that?

Am I missing something stunningly obvious? I bet I am. I am so ready to hide ... over there ...

(ETA: the only thing I can think of is that she is considered his biological niece andadaughter ...)

Her nick may not have anything to do with her relationship to any character that we've met yet.
