 		Wondering if Elethamei's Knight is a 12 value since there's already a 10 card in the minor arcana deck? Anyway, Elethamei's 10 or 12 plus TBell's 9 is mighty good.

But how? How do we get new cards? Do we play together or against eachother? Can we present two cards in the blog?

I received this email from Winter:


Quote:
Dearest Keeper,

It is time to draw a card from the deck, and I will help you. First you must choose a word, any word, that begins with a letter between A and N.

Thank you.

Winter


I replied with the word hypnopompic and she gave me the 8 of wands and told me to keep it face down. As for the with or against each other... the new post titled Blackjack answers that:

Quote:
Dearest Keepers, it's time to play Blackjack. You were recently given a card and told to keep it face down. Flip your cards over and begin. You may play as a team. Once a card is played it will count toward the total, so be strategic.

my 8 and one of the 9's make your missing 17... if that's how we are supposed to play this.
TallulahBelle, did you email Winter with any questions on game play? I don't mind asking, but I don't want to send a bunch of the same questions if you already did....

 		The ideal situation is to get 21 with two cards, right? So, while the three cards are good, two cards would be better Smile Question is, do we want to wait other players to announce their cards or should we just play those cards.
And I'm pretty sure my card is a 10, because all the face cards (Queen, Jack and King) are the value of ten. I'm aware that we play this with the tarot cards, but still.

OT: What is wrong with uF? To post a reply I have quote someone, because if I click 'post reply' it just throws me to the index page. Gah!

I did not. Go ahead.

Actually, 21 is equally good regardless of how you get it.

 		Interesting. I got a reply...

Quote:
Dearest HP,

I always welcome questions. You are to play with the cards you have recently drawn. You need to combine your cards to get 21 or as close as you can to it without going over.

Cards can be submitted either in the comments or via email. No need to post actual cards, just the card name is fine (i.e. just write "Four of Swords" rather than attaching the actual card).

Oh, and a clue to the Maria post's password is hidden in these directions.

Sincerely,
Winter


I have tried everything I can think of with no avail. Unfortunately, I will be at work most of the day tomorrow, so I leave this one for you guys.
Hopefully I won't kick myself too hard when I come back and see how easy it really was to solve. LOL

In the mean time, should I go ahead and send in my 8?

 		So, Happy Phantom, me or Amandel, and Sea Devil? 8, 9, 4?

Also, there is absolutely nothing in those directions that seem off or out of place.

 		Could the clue be 'card name'? Does one of the cards relate to Maria?

 		I'm holding a queen of cups if anyone wants to make up a hand.

*edit*
I missed an email. Waiting for my blackjack card.

As for the password, the card game Hearts was known as Black Maria

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearts

Still trying.

HP, was the 21 in bold in the original email?


*Edit for new card*

I've just drawn a two of cups.

In my experience you keep drawing cards until you get as close to 21 as you want to risk. In this case we can play a knight, a nine and a 2 for 21.

Maria PW solve (after numerous tries of 22 in various ways)
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
PW is 'amandel' because I'm just that adorable. Laughing Naha, that's just the card I hold in the deck

Plus: there's a letter string tweeted (dhddcevgxqhavetfapusov). Sadly 'amandel' isn't the key. Razz The accompanying twitpic is "the fool" from the Cat People tarot deck

 		I actually even got the clue from HappyPhantom's email (the bolded 21), but the solution never crossed my mind Laughing
Also tried to solve the cipher, but no luck.

 		Heh... I actually tried the world. Didn't think of looking at who it's keeper was though. Nice job, Amandel.

So are we going with the 9, 8 4 combo or the knight, 9, and 2?

 		Obviously wasn't my 1st choice either: she said un-Narcissistically. Wink Since you're online HP why don't you start us off & we'll wait for TBelle & Seadevil. OK Elethamei?
