 		I don't think it'll be over just yet, redct.
Treasure each attack, though.... This may turn out to be much more than a simple HaMWaR....
And it may last till half past November....

 		An email and a response.


Quote:
Good evening my liege,

You know Saul, I never took you for royalty. Then again, I never took you for a spade either. Funny what can happen over the course of four months, isn't it?
All this talk of rising up, rising against, becoming a faction against the so called insolence of what Silverladder has become. I can only wonder what's separated you from what the deck stood for in the first place, what the diamonds stood for. Art in all it's forms, including comedy. Satire. A so called slap in the face of the status quo. I would think the spades, especially a self proclaimed king of spades would appreciate a war of meat. Chaotic and hilariously inept at anything but being itself.
I'm not appealing to what you seem to be now Saul, but what you once were. You wrote beautiful poems, and it was thanks to you that I stuck around.
So thank you Saul. Thank you for being the three of diamonds.

However, if you decide to continue your charade as the king of spades, then I suppose these words are falling on deaf ears.

Remember your Highness, that all new factions are met with resistance. Should you attempt to besmirch what the deck stood for, and what Silverladder meant tome, then I find it rather unfortunate that we will remain divided. Not all your 'subjects' will be as resistant as myself I will admit, but then again those who switch sides so easily are the least to be trusted.

I hope you enjoy your new found position, and hope you remember those who helped you get there your Majesty. Just remember that all regencies must come to an end.

A final thought: Quoth the Three of Diamonds,

"when a legend ends....
who sticks around to listen to the silence?"

Your friend and former passenger,

Knighthawk


Response:

Quote:

First of all, you fool, you emailed Transmission2, a mere piece of
artificial intelligence. You plan on appealing to a computer program, do
you? Perhaps the gods of data will hear your plea and have sympathy on
you. Ridiculous.

The current incarnation of silverladder that you defend is a slap in the
face to all who came before, or at least all who had anything worthwhile
to say. Are you so quick to pander to Jonah and his little traveling show
of circus freaks that you're actually blind to what a total insult this
ridiculous game is to those of us who put our blood, sweat, and tears into
our weeks? Are you honestly that ignorant?

What's happening on the site now is not chaos, it is the literary and
imaginary equivalent of a pile of dung. It reeks from so far away, that
the stench of its worthlessness is impossible to ignore. Those who once
called themselves Passengers who participate in this desecration willingly
should be shaken violently until they realize what they're doing is wrong,
insulting, and demeaning to themselves as well as others.

I, for one, will not sit back and watch a website where I put poetry and
photographs from my life, including some related to a very dark portion of
my life that I struggled through and overcame turn into some kind of sick
parlor game where fools stagger around, drunk on their own stupidity.

Feel free to share my words with those who seem to be stricken with the
same malady of foolishness that you and your brethren playing the game
appear to be overcome by. Educate yourself. Take a good look in the
mirror. What you see is no more than a jester among jesters. Is that
what you want your legacy to be?

I can't wait for the rain (reign) to come and wash all this filth away.
Rest assured, what you see on the horizon are clouds.

I AM YOUR KING.

 		I have yet to receive any threatening letters. But I would like to say that this King of Spades is turning out to be a bigger ham than that involved in the war!

 		I had a few interesting emails back and forth with GOPIAD, after a game of tic-tac-pig (we drew: prok game apparently). So basically the robot Transmission2 hates the Pigwar, GOPIAD is going to write him a nice poem about how fun the Hamwar is.

Looks like we may have a robot vs pig war here... I'm with Knighthawk, I like the piggies, and art, and poetry, and fun. I deal with enough robots (of the human kind) in work.

 		I got the same email as fla.


Here is my response to Saul

Quote:
I truly wonder why you believed this approach would work with me. I know
you to be smarter than that. If you paid any attention to me, instead of
sulking I assume, you would have know the correct way to make me a
believer now. I am guilty of nothing other than being me, and if that
hurts your scarred little feelings then so be it.

I see no popularity contest except that in your head where you apparently
lose over and over again.

Behave like a King and you might be viewed as such.

You might gain some by instilling fear in them, but I am no longer afraid.
I will not bow down to appease you without just cause. All you show now is
cowardice and anger, and both are very misplaced.

You are guilty.

I AM MY KING


I am done bending over to please cards. This is the second tour of duty and I am in it to fight for what is right and good. If he wants to whine about not getting enough attention so be it, but I am going to call him out on it the whole time.

Very Happy

Also, these pigs are nuts. Tranny2 isn't an angry robot, in fact he is interested in double team..programming and backdoor password protection. Tranny2 is a playa!

I must admit, I am confused, in that silver ladder as we know it is dead.
And you were never an option in the vote, were you?


Saul:
Quote:

Are you truly that naive?

As an honorary Deck member yourself, you should know quite well that it
was always flexible. Anyone could have been voted to be a guide. But
it's not about me not getting selected to be a guide. It's about me being
given one single week on the site to showcase my art and my words, and
that week was completely overshadowed by some silly popularity contest so
Jonah and Dom could have their egos inflated a bit more. It's about that
being the first of many transgressions that have brought us to the latest
and most unforgivable sin: what's happening on the site right now. What
does that ridiculous, childish, stupid game have anything at all to do
with art, information, chaos, or love? And don't give me the chaos angle.
That isn't chaos. It's stupidity, plain and simple.

YOU should know better.

I AM YOUR KING.


Me:
Quote:

Saul,

I'll agree, HamWar is quite childish, and pointless. and not at all a part of what was silverladder.
Unfortunately, unless we ae all engulfed in a very large mindgame of lies, Silverladder as we knew it is over. gone. dead. discontinued. The deck has been scattered and the game ended. HamWar is a very silly way for those of us who bonded in the process to keep in touch.
I would LOVE to believe that the deck is still around and the game is still going and that all of this is just a ploy, but I see no reasonable evidence for that. The men behind the curtain have come forward, so the point of this e-mail, this character you are playing resurfacing eludes me.
As far as your obvious hurt and bitterness, you have to remember a few things. You gave us a choice and a ballot. Humans have a tendency to vote for the people on the ballot. Write-ins never win. Had you wanted to be a guide, really, you should've posed it all very differently.
Secondly, It was not a popularity contest. I didn't pick my favorite deuces. I picked the two that i thought would be best for the deck overall, best at calmly collectively leading us, and the most effective in their roles.
I am truly sorry if you, as a character, you as an actor, or especially if you as a person were hurt in this. I would comfort you if I could.
But you Cannot make revenge your goal. You cannot try to dominate. You have to let it go. It will only kill you in the end.
The passengers have moved on. They have no king.

-Melody


Saul:
Quote:

Oh, that's right. I am a false king. I am a pretender to the throne.

You fool. How dare you.

Who is the false king, the one who actually has something to say, or one
of the two jokers who masqueraded as some kind of benevolent, pseudo-wise
"guides" for a pack of lost sheep? A lot of good they did you, crashing
and burning. A lot of good they did the lot of you, running this whole
thing into the ground and leaving everyone high and dry. Go home, folks,
the show is over. How greedy. How weak. Where are your leaders now?
What art, information, chaos or love are they bringing you? I fail to see
it. Please, point it out to me. You can't. It doesn't exist.

The moment someone with substance shows up (returns) you all resist, lest
you have to actually learn something. God forbid that happens.

I AM YOUR KING.


Me:
Quote:

Art, Information, Chaos AND Love are all very alive and well in the relationships between the former passengers. and if hamwar is a way to keep in touch, than so be it. All four qualities are still alive and well and flourishing in us and it doesn't matter what we are doing. Those things will not fade.
Where is the love in what YOU are doing? Where is the art is accusation? what information is gained via revenge?
Find a mirror.
It's time for Saul to become Paul.

~Melody, a sovereign.


interesting indeed. And not creative / caring enough to craft individual responses, obviously.

 		My exchange with our "king":

Quote:
False kings? Taking the bait? Guilty. I believe not.

This was far from false; in fact, I believe you to be the false king. Why?

Well, if you were a king, you would start being one, not be somebody who is just greedy for and wants power. I'm not going to subject myself to your rule. Why should we listen to you and be afraid of you?

Quote:
Look.

As far as we were told, SilverLadder is over. HamWar is not Silverladder. It is just a community game.

The Passengers have all gone their way. Do we need leaders? Doubtfully. We don't have a king or leader: why? We don't NEED one
. If we need one, it will certainly be not you.
