Card game is a smoking gun

Landing a new job at a recent game speciality store (with decent pay considering it's retail), I have studied a bit more on card games, board games, and so forth to perform better at my job.

One of the big name game publishers that has been in this industry for years is Steve Jackson games. I've heard of their games in the past, but never played with them. One game that recently got my attention was a game called Illuminati.

It's a card game where you play the role of a secret organization bent on world domination. We are talking things like bankers, the cthulu cult, and so forth. By taking the role of these elite organizations, the players fight each other to gain influence of various social groups, from political parties to social misfits.

One example is the Cthulu group controlling the democratic party, who then control anti-war group, who control the science fiction fans and the yuppers. Hopefully you can see why I am interested in such an oddball game :)

The major thing about this game is the history behind it. In 1990, Steve Jackson games was raided by the Secret Service for making this game. The SS thought SJ games had to deal with hacking, or at least what they claimed. SJ games won the lawsuit against the SS, but was nearly broke because of this outcome.

In 1995, SJ games released a collectable card game version of the Illuminati, called the "New World Order".

I stumbled onto this site when I tried to find more information on the card game. This was the second link on Google.

Someone out there is using this card game to expose "the new world order" and "9/11 being an inside job"

Oh you know this game was just created as a COINTELPRO operation to get us used to the idea of a one world government, along with episodes of '24' and the "X-Files".
 
I once got a raging clue while playing Cluedo.
I think Miss Scarlett was involved ...
 
Is this anything like Fizzbin?

That card game Koik made up in the Star Trek episode: A Piece Of The Action.

"Oh look, you got another BANK! How lucky, how wonderful for you! Now if you hadn't gotten a BANK, if you'd have gotten a KINGDOM instead, well then you'd have to give it back, except when it's dark on Tuesday! But what you're going for is a Royal Illuminati, now the odds on getting... Spock, what are the odds on getting a Royal Illuminati?"

"I have never computed them, Captain."

"Well, they're astronomical, believe me."
 
There was a play-by-mail game of Illuminati as well; a Scottsdale-based company called Flying Buffalo administered it (although the license to run it has apparently expired). Basically you submitted sheets with orders on them and they would process the orders.
 
You have to admit, this is pretty good. ;)

Further Proof of Steve Jackson's Involvement

... by Argumentum ad Killtown:


From Woods and Rajter, "Exploding the Airliner Crash Myth," found here


Role-playing game by Steve Jackson Games, found here

Surprised? Don't be. After all, those of us in the NWO need ways to pass the time and take the edge off while we're plotting the death of millions...

All kidding aside, Steve Jackson has always made great stuff. Been a fan of his ever since "OGRE" c. 1984, and the seminal "Car Wars." Check him out.
 
In early 2001 Westwood Studies released a video game called Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2. The advertising for the game showed an airplane headed directly for the WTC while the rest of the city explodes in the background. When I get my scanner fixed I'll post an imagine (pages 98-99 of the February 2001 edition of PC Gamer magazine). One of the missions in the game requires you to blow up the Pentagon.

How did Killtown miss this?

Same way he misses most stuff - basic incompetance, ignorance, inability to rationally interpret data inputs.:rolleyes:
 
Its a compelling presentation. I don't buy it. However it blows my "Monopoly was a government conspiracy to teach children greed" theory out of the water! By addicting youth to free enterprise and large sums of wealth communism would be out of the question here! (I wasn't serious)But this theory was must have been created by someone so much smarter than I, or someone who has much more time to waste than me.
 
I thought the raid was for they're GURPS:cyberpunk edition. I always thought it was related to the government's heightened sensitivity to computer crimes during the whole Kevin Mitnick era.
 
Another smoking gun?

This album along with the cover photo above was completed months before 9/11 and was due to be released not long after the attacks.
:eek:

Yes they did the raid the computers with GURPS Cyberpunk, but they also took the computers away that had the Illumanti BBS stuff.

I was still roleplaying during that time. I remember arround the same time, shadowrun came out with some biotech book. I had a guy I was playing with trying to convince everyone that all the stuff in it is real and exists now. Besides being the dummest thing I had heard up to that point, I was looking at one of the pages that had a chemical structure for some "biotech agent". My head exploded when I saw it had a triple bonded hydrogen to carbon. I stopped role playing that same week.
 
Of course, none of this explains chess. Are those rooks, or are they twin towers?
 
I have Illuminati, and I play with friends every other months. It's a cool game, especially if you already have an "interest" (read: morbid fascination) for the world of conspiracy theory. The authors know pretty well the community, and the references are hilarous.

I love those shows! Does that mean I'm particularly vulnerable to NWO influence?
