Arcana-talk time [A day or two into the new liminal]

[professorwolf]

We're still assuming that the liminal space before a Jaunt represents the Arcana competing in it, yes? I know someone's mentioned this earlier, but it definitely needs to be highlighted-- I think it's pretty obvious this time that the contest will be between Chariot and Tower. The giant wooden horse running through a thunderstorm really couldn't be more blatant. For once.

[He's not great at understanding symbolism, but damn if this wasn't an easy one.]

So if that's right, it'll be a contest of motion and persistence, versus dramatic change and catastrophe. I think it's easy enough to decide who we want to support, in this case. We'll just have to find ways to make sure we see what sort of conditions make for a win for each ideal.

Any ideas for what to look for and how to keep things from devolving into a catastrophe? Those seem to happen a lot when we're around, unfortunately.

Wouldn't be a successful strategy - too hard to guess the goals in the first place, usually.

I admitted it might not be possible. However this is also our first jaunt where we have a reasonable expectation of which Arcana are involved, both of them. That would make a delaying tactic somewhat less likely to fail entirely.

Don't see the point of it. Too many variables for it to be sustainable long term, even if it could be worked out for this particular set of circumstances. Would mean that we would only be 'balancing' those cards which make themselves well known.

It's only meant to be a delaying tactic in the first place, at least as I suggested it. The rules of the game would need to be changed to allow a situation in which all Arcana win in the end.
