In another round of probing the network's capabilities, I think I've found a way to just... leave information available on the network without actually having to hunt through a million conversations to get to the useful stuff. It still needs some testing, but I can't imagine the range of skills to pull the information off the network is all that big - but more important, at least right now, is what I'm planning to leave there.
The most immediately useful thing I could think of was basic information about the Arcana, to help people who aren't tarot-conversant catch up a little. I've put a lot together based on what's been discussed before, but there are still gaps in my knowledge.
If anyone knows anything about what Magician, Priestess, Lovers, Strength, Hermit, Devil, Moon or Sun plan to do if they win, I'd really appreciate having that on the list. Empress and Emperor too - all I could find in reviewing older stuff was that they agreed to do the same thing if either of them wins. I know a couple of them are out of competition at the moment, but considering Lovers has already staged a comeback, I'd rather set this up like any of them could win.
I also couldn't find anything about Tower and Justice's personalities, or whether Hierophant or Star had another name.

I'm flattered, but I think there is another who might know her better, if they choose to speak up. We shall see.

How'd you get your hands on that?

[Rather abruptly, a very quick and brief flicker of memory of a grand hall of what seems to be a palace, filled with tables and chairs and games of skill and chance which the viewer recognizes as The Hall of Games. Except the the nobles playing the games are not human, but Arcana.]
Vision of The Arcana's Games
The royal couple [Emperor and Empress.] is also paired together. The royal man looks sternly at the first pair, his arms proprietorially around the royal woman’s waist, but when he isn’t looking, she winks at the woman in the pompadour and the pompadour woman winks back.
The blue Program [ROSE - Magician.] and the white wolflike dog [SAGE - Hermit.] are close together, with her seeming truly interested in the game and him less so. When the flying automaton becomes horseface, [Caibre? Chariot, yes?] it joins them on her other side, joining their game excitedly.
The upside-down, dangling automaton [Helena's Arcana, Hanged Man.] seems uninterested in the proceedings. Occasionally the formerly flying, now horsefaced automaton glances up with a look of incomprehension at it.
The blindfolded woman and the angel with the trumpet seem to be arguing over some point of rule, but it’s less than heated and more pedantic.
The gaunt hollow-cheeked man in black seems irritated at the seven-foot-tall shadowy figure and the feeling seems to be mutual. It’s clear they’d rather not let the other score.
The woman with the pompadour and the horned, faceless figure seem obviously upset at the wolflike dog. And the both of them, plus the angel with the horn, the eight-armed woman, the blindfolded woman, and the royal man, all look at the blue program with utter exasperation.
The pair of masked figures, porcelain and silk, [Lune, Moon - and Sun.] are playing against each other and it’s clear that they’ve got a long-standing rivalry... but it’s equally clear through their body language that they enjoy it and despite it all, they are friends. And that there is delight in just playing.
(What the bandaged man [Don Orlea, the Fool.] and the pink bunnyfly [Priestess.] are doing is anyone’s guess. The eye tends to slide off them.)

Thank you for sharing this, Alcuin-san.

[A stilled image from memory of a woman, slim and tomboyish, in a silver gown wearing a silver moon-shaped mask, her skin grey like out of a black and white photograph. Her hair behind her mask's edge is black, caught up in pin-curl waves. She matches the porcelain masked figure in the vision.]
[Another stilled image. The same woman, but her mask is gone, her face as pretty as a picture and indeed, still just as grey. Deep eyes, black-marked lips, rings of eyeliner and mascara capturing the viewer's gaze. There is power in her, enough to send a thrill of uncertainty through a viewer. Then it's gone.]
All knowledge is worth having.
