and now a word about our sponsors

I have analyzed the structure of the current manifestation of Liminal Space, and can confirm that this Jaunt is being sponsored by three of the Arcana: Emperor, Lovers, and Chariot.

Unless I've missed something significant while reviewing the discussions that took place over the Network while I was absent, this is without precedent, at least within the current iteration of their...game. [There's a hint of distaste in that last word.]

While it is far less important than the impact our interference might have on this universe, the most pressing question that comes to mind with regards to our own status is whether this will remove only the Arcanum whose idiom is least reflected in the outcome from the playing field, or if it will reduce our overall options by two.

It might be a case of them trying to correct for too many Arcana for their, um, brackets, like Crownbreaker Isle. I don't think I could say for certain, though - not without talking to one of the Arcana in question.

Oh fuck. This is the worst case scenario.

If they're doing a three-way match to self-correct for their brackets being skewed, that probably means they're going to do the same with the next. And then we'll be at the final match.

We're running out of fucking time.

It's a troubling thought but...

Is it possible they didn't intend this to involve three participants?

Not completely unprecedented. Newport had three of 'em nosing around.

It is unprecedented for the competition-bullshit leg of things, though, and I'd bank on it cutting two out at once. They want to narrow the field to two.

And they apparently want to do it fast.
