The statue obviously contains bad luck.

...it's all part of the plan...

I just want to add my two cents (in addition to my vote).

This is probably going to come off wrong, but I sometimes don't get the logic here.

Chuck says "Some force of considerable magnitude must be at play, here. And I hope nothing breaks further." and earlier "... shattering it. So now ... I'm out 2 artifacts." and earlier still "I feel as though some awful choice, deep above the cosmos, has finally been made, and one of three possible paths must now be followed."

I feel like even if Chuck were to explicitly say, "Look, people, don't smash the damn CDF!" the reaction on this board would be along the lines of, "Hmmm... I think Chuck is telling us not to break the CDF because *wink wink* we're supposed to break the CDF!!"

Now, if Chuck said something like, "Maybe my luck is turning around? A beehive fell on my head, and when I looked inside, I found a $100 bill." But, he's said nothing even remotely hinting that we should smash the CDF or that something is inside it. Remember the SF drop when he was practically saying, "under the table, you fools!"

I dunno. I think it's pretty clear -at least to me- that IN GAME, the CDF is officially "broken". Putting it back together and posting a photo had absolutely no effect. Bad luck continued to happen. So, breaking it further would, in Chuck's words, NOT be a "force of more considerable magnitude" and Relia would be "out an artifact".

I think we should consider ruling OUT the theory that "3 possible paths" means "1) Do nothing 2) Shatter it 3) Put it back together"

It must mean something else, for example, choosing our alliance: "1) Tell MTC we broke it, 2) Tell Mars we broke it, or 3) Tell Lipps we broke it." That's only one of many possible theories, though. (yeah, yeah, it's much easier to point out a bad idea than to come up with a better one)

Maybe we just need to wait it out a couple more days.

Hope I didn't hurt anyone's feelings out there in unforumland. I've just been reading this thread for days and felt like it was time to share my evaluation of this discussion.

Peace!

I also get the same impression that Big T has so eloquently stated above.

[a bill v2]

Big T has a good point.

However, I still don't really think that waiting is going to do anything.
Seems like everyone has been waiting to do stuff for months or at least for something to happen. It's the indecision that bothers me most.

how is this even becoming a question?

No. you don't smash the CDF. should we burn the Mars diary in some sort of Wiccan ritual too? how will that affect the game? granted, there has been little interaction lately, but remember that it was months worth of work to place the CDF in someone's hands.

the tweet mentioning TN on crutches is being taken out of context here. this was a nod to the lack of activity lately, not a clue as to the bird.

do what you will, Relia. i support you either way.

i didn't vote. but NO...

I think someone has already pointed out that the three paths thing that Chuck mentioned could probably be those three tables in the ARH handbook. One of them is still unsolved, BTW.

EDIT: Well, I think someone did, anyway... Or did I just imagine it?
