Four of Diamonds: Fav Candidates, Questions, etc.

Duck. Duck duck duck duck duck duck duck duck duck duck duck duck.

I want more challenge. I want to have to work for what I do. I'm getting kind of bored, and that's not good. I want amusement. I don't want the rigid lines of the lory. I don't want the same old thing from the mouse. And Dodo is so Philip, and I have enough of one Philip in my life.

So, Duck. Give me Korp or give me boredom.

The Mouse is the obvious choice, so I say ... Dodo. Twisted Evil

This isn't my final decision. I feel I still have some assessing to do, but so far, Lory has my support.

(can't find Duck's song. is this the sort of silence he's trying to enforce?)
Lory: http://lyricwiki.org/The_Verve:Bittersweet_Symphony

OK, now to examine these. Lory's song...

Choosing mouse was incredibly easy for me on a personal level as we seem to share a worldview. What's more as an educator be trade, I am pleased to see that he believes in the role of educator as mentor and guide not as wise imparter of knowledge. all three others albiet with very different tones have placed control squarely with the deck as a matter of course. You could argue that mouse is simply tugging with the heartstrings and going for the popular vote and Duck is far more honest and blatant with his anything to win attitude but just because I can appreciate the honesty doesn't mean I'm voting for him/her

Regarding the Duck's honesty...

I'm a bit worried that some passengers will vote for Mouse for the VERY SELFISH reason that they think they'd be chosen to be in the deck.

Interesting point. It seems unlikely to me, but you may be very correct.

I took it more as an extreme example of how open she/he (I really get the feeling Mouse is female) is to passenger influence, and suggestion.

I'm now starting to feel like the Deck itself is somehow pushing for the Lory. Like how 2D was saying about the danger of critique (the whole put up or shut up), and the message on silverladder.com of how 2D was right are indicative of the fact that we should be more passive passengers. That the whole active passenger idea is not was this was supposed to be about. That participation and criticism are being viewed as synonymous and we should sit back and enjoy the show, have faith in the artist, etc.

My opinions tend to differ, and consider critique almost as a form of art or part of the process, but I may be wrong. My opinion and it's relation to the deck seems to be echoed here from 12-19-06:

I am leaning towards mouse, diamonds crossed with hearts. I like the idea of inclusiveness versus being instructed. but that is just my opinion. we all need to answer which direction calls to us.
