EDIT: I have a feeling this might be part of that big change the cards were talking about. I noticed today the abnormal number of Ben's that are listed in the Two of Diamonds Top Friends list. Coincidence??



That was one of the very first things I pointed out when "Ben" was mentioned. feels like forever ago.. most likely in the 1st or second IRC Chat Log.

Yeah... abnormal amount of Bens on 2D's MS page... I chalked it up to 2D's name is Ben.. like 2H is Jane.
*shrugs*

maybe, but finding Ben might definitely be a reason to shuffle the cards.. just an idea.

 		Oh.. I agree..

I did notice that he had 1 card in his pics.. just like Athena had 1 card in her pics...

Razz

It's a sound theory.. at least in my eyes

Body: Core,

Find him. Help him. Let him help you. He thinks freely. Show him where you assemble and what you know.

Much Respect,
2C


So I did some tracking... and this is the one I found.. and the message I sent him.

Subject: Hello...
Body: Hi.. we don't know each other.. so I'll keep this short.

I think there is something that you'd be very interested in.

Maybe you've already heard about it. It's called Silver (Ladder)

This is not a spam e-mail. I heard from a friend that you are a free thinker.. and we could use a few more of those in our group.

So here's what I'll do..

I'll post the links I think you should check out. and if you are interested.. get back to me.
(btw.. prepare to get flooded with these. although not from me.)

http://www.silverladder.com the website
http://www.sl-team.org the place where we are working on the website.
http://www.unfiction.com the place that can explain the whole idea..
http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=21224 This is the one you really want to read.

And when you get through with all of that. Feel free to ask any questions.. I am sure you'll have plenty.

Please visit us in the chatroom at #silverladder on the chatsolutions irc server.

Hope you don't mind that flood of info.

 		The funny thing is, only a day or so ago I was in contact with Black Man Dave because he had come across my bulletin. He already knows about uF, though I'm not so sure about the chat.

He is quite an awesome person. :3

Also, so you all know, the best chance of getting hold of me from now on would be at aniiSPLATsilverladder.com

Much love! Very Happy

XDD Also, proof that I'm an idiot: As I was searching for things that will happen on 11/11, I came to realize that when 2C mentioned Armistice Day, he was talking about 11/11.

Way to go, Loli, you are truly a genius.

However, I think I may be pointing out something new by saying that 11/11 was the official end of World War 1.
Surprised

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
And I had an absolute holy crap moment when I saw this!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/11:11_%28numerology%29

Numerologists believe that events linked to the time 11:11 appear more often than chance or coincidence. [1] This belief is related to the concept of synchronicity.


I am absolutely in love with numerology, so I'll be doing more work on that in my journal sometime soon.

 		An old high school friend told me that 11/11 is a magical date; that "if you make a wish at 11:11 on 11/11, you're wish will come true."

I just told her recently about Silverladder. (this isn't the kind of thing she's into.) But thought the date thing was pretty peculiar, to say the least.

 		Re: new theory
TA Sasuke wrote:
hey guys. i was reading metasymbology.com and came across this.

NINE

Full of the pomp and power of the all consuming 8 we are now asked to submit and SURRENDER to the number 9.

Ever wonder where that expression came from, "the 9th degree"? This number doesn't mess around.
Nines come to remind us that our true destiny is not of this world. And in the world to which we eventually journey, all that previous baggage is just not allowed. So learn to leave it now! 9's symbolize LETTING GO - And if we don't let go, it's taken from us anyway. The number 9 brings loss, endings, dislike, disagreements and finally, disappointment.

When the number 9 appears in our cards, we must think in Universal terms and embrace something much bigger than ourselves. Surrender to the 9! As one door closes, another will open. As we experience an ending, so we experience NEW BEGININGS.

my new theory is that wen the rabbit hole opens the 9(s) will be revealed and completely change the game for all of us. they represent "new beginnings" and as we all know the game hasnt even started yet.


I agree that the rabbit hole opening is a new beginning but I have to disagree with the idea that the nines will be next.

No disrespect intended, but there are two things to note. The first is that metasymbology has not been confirmed as the source of the pattern, it is still a theory. Personally, I find problems with the suit attributions there, and everywhere you look you will find different attributions. anyway....

The second thing is that the site seems to revolve around the idea of a progression from A->10, as a sequence of emanations, builing upon the previous. The nines coming next would not have the foundation needed to function properly.

note: my position here uses the basic assumption that the numbered cards are potencies who funtion according to their role, while the court cards are personifications, able to function more as a personality as it fits within their role.

 		I guess 2c is no longer silenced?

His ms profile no longer says silenced and he posted a bulletin. That was quick!

 		NEW THEORY
This is my other theory on the major event that one of us did to change our reality. The Two of Clubs said there were three events that occured and he told me that:

Quote:
"the first one could have been horrible. Could have ended our journey on the spot. But it birthed a new entity. When one soul disappears another is born."


What if Athena's site & Silverladder was really hacked by someone OOG when the Korporation took over? This would certainly create chaos for the cards and could have ended everything if they didn't regain control of the site. But it also would have birthed a new entity- The Korporation.

I may be far off, but I kind of think this is it now. THis is the only major event I can think of that could have ended our journey on the spot, if it hadn't been resolved.

 		synchronicity and 11:11 - what if it's just confirmation bias? after all, perception is mostly categorization by the human mind, e.g., we see what we want to see. how about this theory: there is a certain arbitrariness to the cards, and the reason we have a causal influence is because of a kind of applied confirmation bias?

i've been thinking about this all day, more specifically about instances of confirmation bias in my own life but then i was like, what about silverladder? what if the reason we have such influence - and the reason things are this unstable - is that there is a certain need for us to make these speculations in order to formulate theories to apply to - and abstract away from - things that are arbitrary so there is synchronicity?

/ rambling Shocked

EDIT: wrote more on this in my lj today so i don't clog up the boards with something that might not even have merit. XD

I would usually think the same, but everything is 11/11. They had to have known about it, at least on some subconscious level, that it was dealing with synchronicity. The theme of 11:11 is used so often that it's kind of imprinted into our brains.

And even if it is confirmation bias- it's still interesting. :3

Well, confirmation bias or not, Shane Watson--the late sitemaster of Silverladder, supposedly--was confirmed dead on 11:11 PM a few years back, apparently. At least...I Googled "Shane Watson" and that's what it came up with...

Although I do agree that since EVERYTHING is 11/11:11 and the like, there must be at least some significance besides coincidence.

new bulliten from ben on myspace.

I've been getting a lot of emails about shovels, pirates and ducks. It's been a blast, and no puzzles to solve today. Thanks again, my online friends!
