Re: DISCUSSION

Huh... not familiar with this kind of card game. Anyone have any ideas?

Re: DISCUSSION

[untilitsleeps]

I don't know it either.

Re: DISCUSSION

[andallbite]

It almost looks like we just have to pick whichever one we want.

Re: DISCUSSION

[untamedwing]

There are...meanings to them. It may be a path for us to follow.

Re: DISCUSSION

[andallbite]

—Meanings? What're they?

Re: DISCUSSION

[untilitsleeps]

What's it mean?

Re: DISCUSSION

[hungryman]

If it's a path to choose... I'm more comfortable with swords.

Re: DISCUSSION

[Thinking on it as he stares, okay, what artistic symbolism am I working with here.]

The coins are wealth. Along the lines of the material world.

The wands are...simplicity.

The cup is more about water. Emotional.

The swords is about power, but also the chance of suffering for it.

Re: DISCUSSION

[untilitsleeps]

[well, water's out]

What do you guys think?

Re: DISCUSSION

[untamedwing]

These....

Are cards of fate.

The first two would most likely be the simplest trials to go through. I am...unsure if we would do well with the cup. The sword would have the most risk, but would have the most reward.

Games that have seemed harmless have been had a surprise in injury. Keep that in mind.

Re: DISCUSSION

[hungryman]

Hmm... if it was just me, I'd stick with swords...

But maybe wands are better for all of us. Keep it simple.

Re: DISCUSSION

[untamedwing]

...

Wands would probably be best. We can work harder with something simple, all paths should have a means to win.

Re: DISCUSSION

[andallbite]

Since we know this now... how're we picking? On what we want, or something else?

Re: DISCUSSION

[hungryman]

I assume we're choosing the one we want, while rejecting the ones we don't.

It doesn't seem like much of a card game, but it's just the start.

Re: DISCUSSION

[andallbite]

Let's see then—I don't care about wealth, at least. We could probably toss that one out.

Re: DISCUSSION

[hungryman]

Yeah... I don't think it'd do us much good here anyway.

I don't think emotional challenges are our... strongest point either.

Re: DISCUSSION

[andallbite]

... If you say so. Don't ask me about that one.

Re: DISCUSSION

[hungryman]

[he shrugs, which is probably exemplary of the point he was trying to make, however unwittingly]

Re: DISCUSSION

[untamedwing]

[Staring at the cards.]

[Very intently.]
