Now that I can have everyone's attention, a little good news.

Since Jules and I both needed the occasional break from the Bronze Age, I'm proud to announce Liminal Intranet is now up and running. Even I'm not good enough to hook it up to proper Internet, as that would involve punching dimensional holes that are probably beyond our reach, but it should at least be a boon to Project Infopool.

Servers are in my rooms, so they won't be going anywhere even if I do. You'll have to provide your own computers, though.

That's a little disturbing, I have to admit. Anyone could have gotten a hold of them. Anyone did, if yours was meant for your brother.

[He shakes his head.]

I do know that a couple of the Arcana want to stop the games. Some on more peaceful ways than others. Death, I believe, is the only one who'd end them safely.

"I had my own, just needed to steal my Bro's because reasons." Stupid reasons. "And I dunno, it's more complicated than I make it sound. Pretty sure it was always supposed to be this way, but even with my neta hax backend knowledge from bein a sprite I dunno if any other game sessions actually got started like ours did."

Or survived long enough to actually get anywhere.

"Death? How you figure?"

"Even if it hadn't been stated on the network, it does make sense," Lyall answers. "Death is about endings and changes-- but in a fairly peaceful, thoughtful sort of way. Tower is also about endings and changes, but no one wants Tower to have their way here. I wish we could talk to all of them. Mingle among them, perhaps, and ask whatever questions of all of them at once that we had for them. Even if one couldn't or wouldn't answer properly, another might have something useful to say."

"Kinda feel like we should hold an election or some shit. Pick who we back to win." He doubts people would adhere to the consensus, but it's better than just running blind and hoping someone wins that doesn't suck massive donkey sack.

"I'd like to think that they're not all shitty."

[professorwolf]

"I would, too," Lyall agrees wearily. "Each of them have their pros and their cons-- their upright and reversed definitions, as it were. But some of the reversed definitions are better than others. I have to admit to being partial to my own Arcana, but I simply have a hard time thinking of down sides to having the Arcana of forgiveness and fresh beginnings as the winner. There are plenty of others I'd be happy with, as well-- Empress isn't bad, Magician could be workable, and I've heard surprisingly good things about Death. I doubt we could convince everyone to back a single Arcana, and in this case I doubt that's even a good idea since we don't always know or control the outcomes of the Jaunts and our one pick might be accidentally bumped off, but if we can even narrow it down to four or five, I think we'd stand a fighting chance. There are just those who want to burn it all down and not support any of them."
