What Was Greek to Them?
The Riddle of the Labyrinth: The Quest to Crack an Ancient Code
Stories of code-breaking and decipherment usually end at the moment the code is finally cracked, or the once-mysterious language demystified and translated. The narrative thrill is in the chase, in the rivalries between the various would-be code-breakers, and if possible (for this adds another dimension to the excitement) in the vested national interests at stake. The British still like to fancy that Egyptian hieroglyphs were first deciphered by their own polymath, Thomas Young. The French, of course, know that it was all done by Jean-François Champollion.
There tends to be a "tortoise-and-the-hare" element to the tales too. Will the winner be the brilliant maverick who cuts corners, but has the lucky hunch? Or will it be the low-key, patient systematizers, hunched over their boxes of file cards? Is successful code-breaking a collaborative enterprise, on the wartime Bletchley Park model? Or is it a job for a lone—and obsessive—genius? In fact, for the general public, one of the most appealing sides to these stories of decipherment is that the heroes and heroines so often turn out not to be highly trained, narrow specialists, but "outsiders" of different kinds. Linda Schele, for example, who was a key figure in deciphering Mayan hieroglyphs, had a background in studio art. Michael Ventris was an architect by day; cracking Linear B, the most important script of prehistoric Greece, was his hobby, for evenings and weekends. In our fantasies we can all become code-breakers.
But then what? The sequel to the decipherment is little more than a final, self-evident coda to most of these stories. "Enigma" is broken, so the Allies win the war; hieroglyphs are decoded, so the culture of pharaonic Egypt is revealed to us. What this conceals, however, are all the further disputes and rivalries that regularly follow the successful cracking of the language or of the code. Just how correct was it? And, if it was, what does it tell us about the culture concerned, or the history of the period? Whose theories are now confirmed or disproved? These controversies can be just as exciting and bitter as those leading up to the decipherment, and probably more significant. But we rarely get to hear about them before the heroic tale ends.
Margalit Fox's account of the decipherment of Linear B—The Riddle of the Labyrinth—falls into the classic pattern of a code-breaking story. She briskly introduces Arthur Evans, who in the early years of the twentieth century first discovered tablets covered in this mysterious script during his excavations of the prehistoric "palace" at Knossos in Crete and who coined the term "Linear B" (to distinguish it from an earlier and still largely impenetrable system of writing that he called "Linear A"). Then, after a few frankly lightweight pages on the decoding of Egyptian hieroglyphs, she brings on her two rivals in the race to crack Linear B.
First: the nervous, chain-smoking, and outwardly "unprepossessing" American Alice Kober, who taught general classics at Brooklyn College, but whose research passion was the Linear B tablets. Second: the British architect and amateur philologist Michael Ventris, who in 1952, just two years after Kober's early death, solved the puzzle by working out that this strange syllabic script was actually a form of written Greek. It is a woman versus man, American versus British tale (with elements of class and privilege thrown in—Kober, "the upstart…daughter of working-class immigrants" to the US, Ventris, the well-connected son of an army officer, with a public, i.e., private, school education).
Kober plays the part of the careful, patient systematizer—though during postwar austerity, in place of file cards she was forced to make do with cut-up church circulars and library slips, and to store them in used cigarette cartons (in the archive at Austin, Texas, they apparently still exude "a faint whiff of midcentury tobacco"). She deplored any bold speculation or leap of the imagination. In fact, when Ventris, in a gesture of collaboration, circulated a questionnaire to others he knew to be working on the script—including such questions as "What kind of language is represented in the Linear B inscriptions, and to what other known languages is it related?"—Kober was one of only two recipients not to complete it. "I have no intention of answering the questionnaire," she wrote to Ventris in 1950. "In my opinion it represents a step in the wrong direction and is a complete waste of time."
For Kober any speculation about what the language might be was useless until the script had been properly catalogued, each symbol inventoried, and its relationship to all the other symbols fully analyzed. Her work consisted in producing grid after grid, attempting to show—with no preconception about the identity or even "family" of the language concerned—how each little squiggle related to the others. It is grimly austere stuff, but on this Fox is at her best. She explains Kober's analysis of Linear B brilliantly and with a sense of excitement, despite the fact that for most readers this is a still-incomprehensible script of a language they don't understand.
Indeed, I know of no other account of any decipherment that gives a clearer idea for nonspecialists of how some of the detailed technicalities of the process actually work. But Fox wants to do more than explain the methods. She is also a powerful and partisan advocate of Kober's critical part in the cracking of Linear B, as rivaling, or even outstripping, that of the more famous Ventris. In her words, he was standing "on the small, round shoulders of an unheralded American giant."
In her introduction to The Riddle of the Labyrinth, she hints that we should see the Brooklyn classicist rather in the mode of Rosalind Franklin, the British scientist whose critical contribution in the 1950s to the discovery of the structure of DNA was almost entirely written out of the story—as her male colleagues, Francis Crick and James Watson, were given (or took) the credit. There are, it is true, several similarities. Both, for example, died very young (Kober at forty-three), which made it easier for them to be overlooked. Both suffered the kind of discrimination against women in academic life typical of the mid-twentieth century (the sad story of Kober's failure to secure a research position at the University of Pennsylvania should be recommended reading for any twenty-first-century female professor who would like to count her own blessings). But in the end, it is not clear that Kober's contribution—in comparison to Ventris's—was quite as important as Fox would like us to think.
Some key advances toward the decipherment of the script were, in fact, made independently by both of them. They had each worked out—Kober, to be fair, slightly before Ventris—that a little "button" symbol on the tablets must represent the sign for "and" (placed after the word it was linking, like the Latin -que). But as Fox herself concedes, as impressive and rigorous as Kober's methods were, some of her conclusions were technically incorrect—even if they pointed in the right direction. In particular, she believed that she had demonstrated that the language of the tablets was inflected. Indeed it was inflected, but she had not quite shown that. As Ventris came to realize, the arrangements of symbols that Kober believed to be the signs of inflection were actually different forms of the ending of place names.
As often in the history of decipherment, proper names proved to be the key to unlocking the code. Ventris's interest in Linear B had started as a schoolboy, and for many years he had cherished the idea that the language of the script was some version of Etruscan. (Kober was right to think that this was completely daft.) By the early 1950s—when many more Linear B tablets had been discovered outside Knossos, from different prehistoric sites in mainland Greece—he began to change direction. He spotted that some of the distinctive groups of symbols that Kober had isolated were found only in the tablets from Knossos. "What sort of words, Ventris wondered, might be particular to one place but not another?" His hunch was that they might be local place names. After all (to use Fox's modern analogy), people who live in New York now tend to have in their possession many more documents that include the words "City of New York" than "State of California."
His next step, Fox explains, was a wild experiment. There was later evidence from the island of Cyprus of Greek being written in a syllabary—a system of writing in which each syllable rather than each sound or phoneme has its own sign; and it had long been recognized that this syllabary included symbols that looked rather like some of those used in Linear B. In this case, however, the sound values of the symbols were known. Ventris's experiment—to oversimplify somewhat—was to match up as closely as he could the symbols in Kober's distinctive Linear B groups with those from Cyprus. Hey presto, three "words" emerged that sounded much like "Knossos," "Amnisos," and "Tulissos"—three well-known Greek place names on the island of Crete.
With a few sound values for Linear B script now tentatively assigned, and with a hint that the language of the script might be Greek, Ventris was able to move ahead relatively quickly to decode more symbols and to convince himself that he really was dealing with an early form of Greek. It was a discovery that he first announced in a BBC radio broadcast on July 1, 1952, opening with a proud comparison of himself to Champollion. Kober's hard, patient, nonspeculative work had certainly helped; but the final decipherment was made by Ventris in one "great intuitive leap."
Maybe. But in addition to such speculation, Fox also follows the story of Ventris a little further, to its tragic sequel. For after a few rather unhappy years (in which he drifted apart from his wife and family, and failed to reestablish his architectural career) he was killed in 1956, at the age of thirty-four, when the car he was driving crashed into a parked truck. Like others before her, Fox suspects—though there is no proof whatever—that he may have committed suicide; that the celebrity he won from the decipherment had, in some way, ruined his life. Maybe. But she also, usefully, includes a final chapter reflecting briefly on what the decoding of Linear B has actually told us about the culture of the prehistoric Mediterranean.
It had been long been suspected, simply from their form and layout, that the tablets were not likely to contain any lost prehistoric literature (no ancestors of Homer, for example), but consisted essentially of lists, tabulations, and other administrative documents. And so it proved to be. What we have are bureaucratic records, compiled by the scribes of the so-called "palaces" of prehistoric Greece in the second millennium BC—lists of produce stored and exchanged, inventories of furniture, precious metals, and livestock, details of gifts given to the gods. Though it may have been disappointing to those who might still have held out hope for some primitive epic poetry, the deciphered tablets have given us a clearer idea than we could ever have imagined of the infrastructure underlying the proto-states of the prehistoric Mediterranean.
But it is a pity that Fox has nothing to say on the bitter and very public controversies that followed the decipherment, which became, at the time, even bigger news than the code-breaking itself. For it is misleading to imply that Ventris's radio announcement in July 1952 was somehow the end of the Linear B story. In rather more interesting ways, it was the beginning.

Let this be a lesson to fans of cult classic movies: If you wish to wear a shirt sporting one of the most famous quotes from a film, not everyone will get it.
On Sunday evening, New Zealand man Wynand Mullins boarded a Qantas flight in Australia wearing a shirt featuring a quote from "The Princess Bride," according to New Zealand's Stuff magazine. The shirt had a large nametag that read: "Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."
Before the plane took off, a flight attendant approached Mullins and asked him to take the shirt off "because some of the passengers are quite intimidated by it," Mullins told Stuff.
Since Mullins didn't have another shirt with him, he said he would be happy to change if the airline found him something else to wear.
"The thought did cross my mind that it would either be a blanket or the pilot's jacket," he told the National Business Review.
But instead of returning with a new shirt, the flight attendant dropped the matter.
A few passengers may have been uncomfortable, but Mullins wasn't the only one to find the situation a bit extreme.
"I thought it was all a bit silly. The person next to me was laughing, because they knew the movie," he told Stuff.

There's a reason he doesn't hear what you're saying. New brain research reveals why—and what to do about it.
When my friends Alex and Amy decided to renovate their kitchen, Amy jumped right in, delighted to have the opportunity to create the room of her dreams. Soon the breakfast table was buried under pages ripped from magazines; fabric and paint samples; and pieces of wood, tile, and stone. Alex, though, appeared irritated by the decision-making process. Whenever Amy tried to get his opinion, showing him her favorites from the mounds of possibilities, he grunted and shrugged his shoulders as if to say, "Whatever."
Assuming that Alex didn't care about whether the kitchen looked like one in a French country house or a postmodern loft, Amy forged ahead, following her preference for sleek and spare design. To her surprise, Alex was furious when the stainless-steel fixtures and dark stone countertops were installed. "This looks like a hospital clinic! It's so cold and sterile. I hate it!" he shouted.
Baffled and hurt, Amy responded: "I tried to get you to look at samples with me many times, and all you kept saying was, 'They all look the same!'"
It seems there is no bigger difference between men and women—and no difference that causes more friction—than the way we communicate with each other. Over and over, I hear friends and patients say, "Sometimes talking to the man in my life is like banging my head against a brick wall. He just doesn't listen, or he's irritated and doesn't respond."
It's not that men don't listen or don't care. Rather, new research shows, they process what they hear differently than women do, quite possibly because of gender disparities in their brain chemistry, structure, and activity. If variations in our gray and white matter affect our mating behavior, as research suggests, it's not surprising that these differences might also influence how we relate to our children and friends and communicate with our partner. It's likely, too, that our brain differences affect our day-to-day exchanges, from the mundane to the most complex.

U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Greetings, We are preparing a Comprehensive Conservation Plan (CCP) for conservation of natural resources and public use of the Fish Springs National Wildlife Refuge (NWR). Sharing your ideas and concerns will help us prepare a plan that is sensitive to your needs. We are soliciting your input through open houses to be held in local communities during March 2002 and by the enclosed Issues Workbook. Details are provided elsewhere in this document. The open houses will be announced in local newspapers and on radio. The purpose of the open houses is to let people know what we are doing and to learn how people feel about this important conservation area and how they think it should be managed. If you are interested in the Fish Springs NWR, we invite you to participate in this project. The Refuge staff are also available to meet with individuals or groups at any time. If you would like a special presentation to your group, or would like to make an appointment to meet individually, just call the Fish Springs office to make arrangements. We look forward to working with you throughout this most important planning process. Sincerely, Jay Banta Refuge Manager Comprehensive Conservation Plan Fish Springs National Wildlife Refuge Contact: Jay Banta Phone: 435/831-5353 Refuge Manager Fax: 435/831-5354 Address: PO Box 568 Dugway, UT 84022 February 2002 Help Shape the Future of Your National Wildlife Refuge! Background The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Part of the Department of the Interior, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service is the only Federal agency with the specific mandate to conserve the nation's fish, wildlife, and plants for the benefit of the American people. U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Mission The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service's mission is, working with others, to conserve, protect and enhance fish, wildlife, and plants and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people. National Wildlife Refuge System The Service manages the National Wildlife Refuge System, the largest collection of lands set aside specifically for the protection of fish and wildlife populations and habitats. The Refuge System began in 1903 when President Theodore Roosevelt designated a pelican and heron rookery in Florida as the Pelican Island National Wildlife Refuge. Today, over 530 national wildlife refuges are spread from Alaska to Puerto Rico and Maine to Hawaii. National wildlife refuges provide important habitat for native plants and many species of mammals, birds, fish, insects, amphibians, and reptiles. They also play a vital role in preserving endangered and threatened species. Refuges offer a wide variety of recreational opportunities and many have visitor centers, wildlife-observation trails, and environmental education programs. Nationwide, more than 30 million visitors annually hunt, fish, observe, and photograph wildlife or participate in interpretive activities on refuges. National Wildlife Refuge System Mission The mission of the National Wildlife Refuge System is to administer a national network of lands and waters for the conservation, management, and where appropriate, restoration of the fish, wildlife, and plant resources and their habitats within the United States for the benefit of present and future generations of Americans. National Wildlife Refuge System Four Guiding Principles ✓ Habitat. Fish and wildlife will not prosper without high-quality habitat, and without fish and wildlife, traditional uses of refuges cannot be sustained. The Refuge System will continue to conserve and enhance the quality and diversity of fish and wildlife habitat within refuges. ✓ Public Use. The Refuge System provides important opportunities for compatible wildlife-dependent recreational activities involving hunting, fishing, wildlife observation and photography, and environmental education and interpretation. ✓ Partnerships. America's sportsmen and women were the first partners who insisted on protecting valuable wildlife habitat within wildlife refuges. Conservation partnerships with other Federal agencies, State agencies, Tribes, organizations, industry, and the general public can make significant contributions to the growth and management of the Refuge System. ✓ Public Involvement. The public should be given a full and open opportunity to participate in decisions regarding acquisition and management of our national wildlife refuges. Fish Springs NWR Background Fish Springs National Wildlife Refuge was approved under the Migratory Bird Conservation Act by the Migratory Bird Conservation Commission in 1958 to preserve critical habitat for nesting and migrating birds. The 10,000 acres of Refuge wetlands are a major migration point for wetland birds migrating to and from the Great Salt Lake, 75 miles to the north. These wetlands are formed by a series of thermal springs that arise from a fault line at the base of the east slope of the Fish Springs Range and comprise a greater acreage than all of the wetlands combined in all cardinal directions for a distance of over 40 miles. As such, it provides a critical migration habitat for a diverse array of wetland birds. Located on the eastern edge of the Pacific Flyway, it receives waterfowl from the Canadian Arctic and several Prairie Provinces as well as birds produced in Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, and Utah. The Fish Springs NWR Planning Process The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service is required to manage all refuges in accordance with an approved Comprehensive Conservation Plan, which, when implemented, will achieve refuge purposes; help fulfill the Refuge System mission; maintain and, where appropriate, restore the ecological integrity of each refuge and the Refuge System; help achieve the goals of the National Wilderness Preservation System; and meet other mandates. The CCP will guide management decisions and set forth goals, objectives, and strategies to accomplish these ends. Step-down management plans may also be required to provide additional details about meeting CCP goals and objectives and to describe strategies and implementation schedules. Each plan will be founded on principles of sound fish and wildlife management and available science, and be consistent with legal mandates and other Service policies, guidelines, and planning documents. The Service will prepare refuge plans that, above all else, ensure that WILDLIFE COMES FIRST on national wildlife refuges. Want to Get Involved? To gather as much public input and to reach as many people as possible, the Fish Springs National Wildlife Refuge staff has developed several opportunities for your participation. Open Houses We are conducting two Open Houses, as follows: ✷ Tuesday, March 12 - 6 pm to 8 pm Sweet Branch Salt Lake City Public Library 455 F Street Salt Lake City, Utah ✷ Wednesday, March 13 - 6 pm to 7 pm West Desert School Partoun, Utah These Open Houses will be announced in local newspapers and on radio.

Borough/State and/or grade: Sophomore at Pratt University, Brooklyn NY
Program involved with: Teens For Planet Earth
How did you find out about the program? Through online research on conservation programs for teens, and through partner organizations.
Why did you choose to get involved? I was looking for conservation oriented sites, and a way to join like minded teens in New York.
What is your favorite part about the website? I like the blogs. I like the fact that they are interactive, and that you can post what you've been working on.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years? I graduate in 2 years, and would like to take a gap year to travel and volunteer. After that, I hopefully will be working in sustainable design.
How do you feel you're making a difference? When I first started painting, it was just for myself. As I began working with my grandmother's organization IMRHC (Integrated Multipurpose Recreation & Hobby Center) in India and felt the children's joy as they learned, I felt a new kind of satisfaction. It makes me believe that I can make a difference. Also, meeting heads of state and decision makers allows me to make an impact on both ends of the spectrum.

Confession Tuesday - The Monkey House Edition
8 comments:
- Justin Evans said...
I've been living in the monkey house with my entire second manuscript. I have no earthly idea whether it's any good. It's so far out of my usual voice.
I'm afraid to find out on so many levels. - 9:02 AM, April 26, 2011
- Kells said...
I think whenever we risk in our work, we fear this. I know this is my mss, I'm doing/trying new things.
And you know, I'm believing more and more that maybe we'll never know if we're in the monkey house until it's finished. And I think that's okay. It has to be.
Welcome to the Monkey House. Serving bananas at noon. ;-) We can have banana daiquiris together.

I confess to being wildly in love with my new manuscript which is already two years old and consists of 28 poems but I love all of them.
I confess that Confession Tuesday is my favorite day here.

God, I love Tim Gunn. I aspire to be like him as a teacher--all the time, I think about his approach--so kind and smart, yet very honest and wanting to help.
Hoohooheehee (that's the sound of the monkey house). - 12:40 PM, April 26, 2011

Tim Gunn is wonderful!
I confess I am working on submitting more--not sure what is holding me back. I have poems...
In general, I confess I am struggling with putting together a first chapbook.
In specific, I confess I am struggling with conquering the ghazal form, which is deceptively difficult to do well.
And, I confess, your blog helps light the way. - 7:45 AM, April 27, 2011

Just within the past month I finished a poem manuscript that I've been working on since 1984. The main part of it is a loosely narrative series of two dozen poems that come from traveling (many years ago) with a poet friend for several days on the west coast (from Los Angeles to Port Townsend, Washington). The maniscript also includes a few other poems that are outside the main narrative section, more or less as bookends at the beginning and end.
I say "finished," and that's basically true, though I'm going to go through it and check for things, probably fix little stuff, etc. But the main work on it is done.
During the past couple of years I put together a New and Selected Poems manuscript, which will be published (possibly sometime this year) by the publisher who has done several previous books of mine.
In compiling the New and Selected Poems manuscript, I raided several other unpublished manuscripts (some completed, some in progress) for poems to include. One of the incidental results of this is that I now have a bunch of poems that are to some extent "orphans," no longer part of a complete manuscript. So I've been slowly sorting through the unattached poems to see what possible new manuscripts I can piece together with them. This project is still in progress, though I seem to be making headway.
I work full-time (sitting in a cubicle in a large office in a large corporation, talking on the phone and typing on a computer). I need to be fairly determined and disciplined to make time to write in the nooks and crannies of each day. Generally I manage to. - 7:01 PM, April 27, 2011
- Kells said...
Rebecca-- Thank you. I'm glad you enjoy Confession T!
Hannah, Tim is incredible. Yes, I love his gentle, but honest touch.
Jessie! Oh no! I'm pretending you are being witty right now.
Margo-- I'm working on submitting again! And funny thing, I just wrote a ghazal about 2 weeks ago first time in years.
Lyle-- I appreciate hearing that you've been working on something for such a long time. I like hearing poems with past lives have a chance to live. - 1:58 PM, May 03, 2011

What do you do when you crave cheese, but not all the fat that goes with it - not to mention that you cannot limit your portion once a piece goes in your mouth?! Well, my solution is to always have some spreadable cheese wedges on hand. While I was replenishing my supply, I came across The Laughing Cow Light Queso Fresco & Chipotle Flavor Spreadable Cheese Wedges - it's described as, made with real queso fresco and chipotle peppers ... a great way to add spice to your favorite dishes without stacking up the calories.
At snack time, I spread a wedge on a few (or maybe more than a few) Keebler Town House Light Buttery Wheat Crackers (Review) - the cheese was creamy, soft and very spreadable. I didn't get much of a spicy kick though and since it says Chipotle, I expected that it would bring the heat! I also sat down and ate a wedge while writing this review - just trying to savor each bite, and that's when a little more of the spicy chipotle flavor came out. BUT if the Laughing Cow Queso Fresco & Chipotle Cheese Wedge was in a contest with Weight Watchers Jalapeno Cheese Wedges (Review), I would give the prize to the Weight Watchers cheese.
Each wedge of the The Laughing Light Cow Queso Fresco & Chipotle Flavor Spreadable Cheese provides 35 calories from 1.5 grams of total fat (3% of the daily value) which includes 1 gram of saturated fat (5% of the DV), 240 mg sodium (10% of the DV), 1 gram of sugars (no fiber) and 2 grams of protein. The ingredients include, cheddar, light cheddar, queso fresco and semi-soft cheeses (cultured milk and skim milk, salt, enzymes), whey, cream, chipotle peppers, sodium phosphate, sodium citrate, natural flavors.
I purchased a pack with 8 wedges for $2.69, and I would buy these again just to get some flavor - although it's not that much different from the The Laughing Cow Light Creamy Swiss Wedges (Review).

Are we really talking about playoffs?
milwaukee brewers September 6th, 2012
PLAYOFF FEVER is catching among a small portion of the fan base and I can't believe it. This team? The team that actually got me to give up on them in July? This team is causing playoff fever? Really?
Really. The Brewers are now just two game under .500 and sit a cool 6.5 back of the St. Louis Cardinals who they just so happen to play this weekend. The Cardinals, of course, are the reason for all this optimism in the first place. On August 27th of last season the Cardinals had playoff odds of 1.1 percent and then they got hot and won the World Series. On August 27th of this year? The Brewers had 0.2 percent playoff odds. So not the same and even today they are only up to 0.8 percent, still not the same. The 2011 Rays were 0.5 percent on 9/3 last year, but that was a completely different circumstance.
BUT they are hot! Red hot in fact! They are only two games under .500 with a not impossible schedule left to go. They haven't been two games under .500 since May. Is there really reason to believe? Read the rest of this entry »

The Science of Promise.
We believe that science is the key to curing ovarian cancer in all women. The science employed in clinical trials compares the currently recognized, best available standard of care with a new treatment that holds the promise of being safer or more effective, offering alternatives for those with ovarian cancer.
Though clinical trials are an important part of research and care of women with ovarian cancer, many have misconceptions about what these trials are, and the types of treatments available. We encourage you to learn about the options available to you as early as possible during treatment.

Posted 10 May 2012 - 10:46 AM
LCG is like a boardgame with a new mini expansion about each month. There is one pack with known cards released about each month and no random cards like boosters. Also there is no rares, commons etc.
Posted 10 May 2012 - 10:47 AM
LCG stands for "Living Card Game" and it's a distribution model.
It means that there won't be any randomized starters or boosters. If this follows the format of previous LCGs, there will be a "Core Set" containing a 2-4 fixed decks (mostly a x1 distribution of cards in the core set), and monthly expansions of 60 cards (x3 of each card), a "large expansion" coming out every now and then offer 165 cards (x3 of 55 cards).

Hmm,any overlap between any expansions, small and/or large? Or will all expansions be unique?
I can't quite seem to find an answer to this question.
And I don't feel like digging through the card database at cardgamedb.com
Posted 11 May 2012 - 08:59 AM
No, there is no overlap between different expansions. Every release is 100% new cards.
Posted 11 May 2012 - 09:07 AM
And what about the disparity between coreset and expansions? It seems that the coresets have 1 copy of a card and the expansions have 3 copies of each card. Of might we same the same 3x distribution in the core set with this game?
Posted 11 May 2012 - 09:11 AM
We're not sure what the Core set will have yet. The Call of Cthulhu Core set has 1x copies of all cards in it. The Lord of the Rings Core set has a mix of 1x, 2x, 3x. I've already started another thread asking about this but there is no official answer yet.
I'm pretty sure there is no chance the Core set will have 3x all cards, that would not show new player enough different cards to give a good overview of the game.
Posted 11 May 2012 - 09:34 AM
Whoops, missed the thread about card distribution. Sorry

The LCG is just a slightly different way to get your cash than a CGG. It is nearly identical in most things apart form the fact that in the long run it is cheaper.. as in a LOT cheaper… but that is not to say that it is no expensive.
There are 2 major problems with the LCG moddel.
Unlike say "Magic the Gathering" there is no cycling out of sets. This means that late commers to the party have a HUGE outlay of cash to be able to play even remotely competitively. For example.. if you tried to play CoC now and didn't want to get crushed .. due to CoC having so many factions (this game has 7 now apparently) and each pack only having like 1 or 2 cards per faction… a good deck requires you to own like 80% of all the packs ever released. This means to be competitive, you basically need to own the entire game archive. So a new commer to coc has a initial outlay of 100s and 100s of dollars b4 they can even play at the local game store with older players.
This is a MASSIVE problem with the LCG model. One they could fix by selling faction packs. It isn't the LCG model itself that is the problem, it is the fact that the cards are spread so far apart.. as in only 1 or 2 cards per faction per pack… to get a deck you need lots of packs.
The 2nd problem is not the LCGs fault.. but I see it in a lot of players… something about how the LCG is.. I am not sure. but it is super addictive. You think you will not spend to much.. it is sort of advertised as "pick and choose what pack you want to build "x" deck… but in reality you are adding a monthly charge to your bills. Most players will buy every pack as they are released. This can add up fast. Again, this is cause that so few cards for w/e faction you like is released at any time.
Again that is not really FFGs fault.. but it is something to be aware of. If you liek the game chances are you will buy everything.
Still the other problem is real and terrible. Like if you like this game and have a bunch of packs and a mate really likes it after playing at your house one morning after a night at the pub.. then he will NEVER be able to buy his own cards and play independently of you unless he wants to fork out 5-600 bucks in one go to buy the entire collection.
So start buying from the very start is my advise.
Posted 12 May 2012 - 11:44 AM
I agree that coming in late can leave you feeling like you want to buy everything that's out, which can be expensive.
But this is your choice, it's not forced on you. You don't need to own everything to make a good deck. You will need more than just a Core set, sure, but not everything there is. Take any high level tournament deck and list off the source of all the cards and I'll bet there are lots of packs that aren't used at all.
I started playing Call of Cthluhu a little over a year ago. In that time, I've gradually collected most of the expansions. I still don't have the Dreamlands cycle (waiting for the reprint), or my 3rd Core set (I only have 2), and I haven't picked up the latest pack yet (supposed to get it Tuesday). But, that's happened over about a 13-14 month period, and because I wanted to. I could have skipped a lot more and still felt like I could make plenty of good decks from it.
Posted 12 May 2012 - 12:10 PM
I started playing Game of Thrones at the end of the Kings Landing cycle, so I was already 3 cycles plus a few deluxe expansions behind. In that time I have caught up and own every card. It took a few months to do so but it can be done. Just don't expect to do it overnight unless you have an insane amount of disposable income then go right ahead.

You will never see a core set released with 3x of all the cards. Unless FFG wanted to also include suggested deck lists with the packaging, 3x of all cards in a core set makes for a cumbersome game. All the starters in the LCGs i've played (except maybe CoC) have been highly playable right out of the box. To get multiples of the really nice X1 cards in the core set means buying more core sets…. but this is meant to be an entry level product and not a complete set.
Posted 12 May 2012 - 08:12 PM
What?! You do not own Dreamlands? This is shocking me!

I wasn't willing to pay for 3 copies of each pack under the old printing model. Actually though, just this past week I was given a copy of 3x all the Common cards from Dreamlands by a friend of mine who *did* buy 3 copies of each pack and thus has a surplus of these cards. So, I guess that means that now I have half of the Dreamlands cards. I'll still buy the real packs once they're reprinted to get the other half.

I've got a massive number of playable decks from just 18 packs (plus some 60-card reprints of a few 40-card packs), one deluxe and one core. Getting the 60-card reprints should be low priority, but when you do you can have many decks ready for battle with variations
The first Summons of the Deep pack gave me three of some nice item, spare copies of a character I was using and another 3x a monster to stick into another deck. I've also got some of the good, old CCG cards cheap off eBay to pad out. I only play with my own decks anyway. A friend picks two decks, chooses which to play, off we go. I've got some monodecks, some combinations, generally only using 2 factions and occasional neutrals. I haven't even gotten into making conspiracy decks yet, which I think might be fun. I'm just trying to make thematic decks as good as possible, then my gaming friends benefit as much as me. If you can't choose between three great old ones, why not pick all three and let the course of the game decide for you? 3x every card is so boring

In theory there's nothing preventing FFG from deciding to cycle sets out at some point in the future.
And besides, LCGs are _still_ a lot cheaper if your goal is to get a complete playset.
Posted 14 May 2012 - 02:46 AM
I think as important as when is why.
Cycling out cards helps keep the pressure on to have to buy new stuff, otherwise customers with a bunch of OP cards from earlier sets may be able to remain competitive with them. It acts as a release valve on power creep, which is very useful in a game which is intentionally unbalanced. It also helps get rid of old mistakes and help clear the design space. New cards can come in which wouldn't have been used while a more powerful alternative existed.
I'm not sure any of these apply to an LCG. Now you have a game with a much smaller pool (no need to clear design space for a LONG time), plus it's a game which tries to keep balance so you don't need to prod people towards abandoning old cards to buy new ones. People will buy the new cards to expand their play, and because they're minimally priced compared to a CCG.
Posted 14 May 2012 - 03:06 AM
LCG's have restricted and banned lists to do the balancing instead of card cycling out. No LCG has cycled out any cards.
Posted 14 May 2012 - 06:14 AM
this isn't an argument of ccg models vs lcg models. There is no doubt that the LCG model is better for the player cash wise in the long run. The fact still remains though that if you come late to the game there is a huge outlay to just START playing, while in a ccg model with cycling all you need to do is by cards in the current cycle and you are right in the thick of competitive play.
In a LCG if you come late then you need to buy many packs all in one go.. a game like aGoT this is 100s and 100s of dollars. A cost you need to spend b4 you can even play a single game, unless you all start at the same time of course.
This is the biggest failing in the lcg model, one that could be fixed or at least lessened with faction packs rather than mixed factions packs i think. It is also sort of a hidden cost. The LCG is marketed as a pick and pay kind of system were you can choose what packs you want to build a certain deck, but the fact that each pack only has 1 or 2 card for each faction means that the decks are spread over the entire release of the lcg. Go an look in any of the LCG forum deck lists if you want proof.
Again this isn't a chat about lcg vs ccg… this is a unique problem in teh ffg lcg model and one new players are largely unaware of and should be. The reality is, that if you want to play this game you need to buy a pack once a month and every month.. witch is eactl;y what most people do.. and if you fall behind and then decide to start playing at teh local store or enter a comp, then you will have to buy all the packs you missed b4 you can even make a deck.
LCG's have restricted and banned lists to do the balancing instead of card cycling out. No LCG has cycled out any cards.
Exactly my point,

Bolivar County Head Start teacher Tracey Sanders has shown pride for her president twice now, as she has attended both of Obama's swearing-in ceremonies.
Sanders, her sister and folks from across Mississippi braved a 16-hour tour bus trip from Jackson on Saturday and arrived in the nation's capital on Sunday.
It was estimated close to 1 million faithful citizens packed the National Mall.
"It was absolutely amazing — just being amidst everybody and being a part of something so historic and significant," said Sanders. "There were people from all over the country and the world."
Sanders' first visit to the nation's capital was in 2009 as she witnessed the inauguration of the country's first African American president.
"One of the things that touched me most this time around was a blind woman who was on our tour bus," said Sanders. "She said she wanted to see the president but through the eyes of her husband who also came along. They have been married for 46 years."
The mood on the Mall was ecstatic and emotional as Obama committed to his second term.
"There was an elderly woman standing next to me with tears running down her face," said Sanders. "She never believed in a million years that she would be in the presence of the president."
Obama's words also sparked a sense of optimism for Sanders.
"It was very powerful when he speaking about caring for everyone — not just the people who already have the most," said Sanders. "As a country, we can do a better job taking of care of everyone."
Sanders' attendance also made a local splash as she was spotted on "Good Morning America" proudly waving her flag and cheering for Mississippi.
"Some people saw me on the TV," she said. "They joked with me and asked me where I was."
Sanders returned to Cleveland Wednesday afternoon filled with excitement and many stories to share with her Head Start students.
"It's been very special coming back and telling them about all the experiences I had," she said. "I try to broaden their knowledge of things going on in the world.
"I hope they all have the opportunity to go to D.C. someday. I teach them the sky is the limit."
While there were fewer in attendance on Monday compared to Obama's first inaugural address, Sanders said event organizers did a much better job keeping the crowd structured.
"I got trapped in 2009, couldn't move and I got claustrophobic," she said. "They had many more fences this time and volunteers welcoming us along the Mall."
The week of new term festivities includes the Swearing-in Ceremony, Inaugural Address, Inaugural Parade and numerous inaugural balls and galas honoring the elected president.
The official theme for the 2013 inauguration was "Faith in America's Future," commemorating the country's perseverance and unity and marking the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation.
Monday's ceremony also coincided with Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

WoW Archivist: Patch 2.3 -- Azeroth iterated
Blizzard likes to talk about their "iterative" process, meaning they make many small improvements over time to produce the best possible result. In the case of the lackluster patch 2.2, players were disappointed that more was not done. With the game's subscriptions still skyrocketing, Blizzard felt pressure to deliver a major dose of new content and improvements.
In November 2007, Blizzard answered the bell and unleashed an iteration that reshaped the game from top to bottom. Players of every level experienced sweeping changes to their play experience -- many of which are so integral now that it's hard to believe we played without them for so long. If you ask players about patch 2.3, they'll call it the "ZA patch." Zul'Aman was a great raid, but 2.3 offered so much more than that.

We want everyone to experience the excitement and value of the chemical sciences. Our members and supporters reach out to people all over the world, from schoolchildren to scientists to political leaders, to connect them with chemistry. Whether you want to attend or run an event, set up a meeting, or spend five minutes writing an email, you can get involved.
Connecting everyone with chemistry
The chemical sciences touch every part of our lives. But not everyone knows how chemistry is relevant to them.
We bring people closer to chemistry through activities which give them unexpected encounters with the science that surrounds them. We give chemists the skills and opportunities to engage others with the chemical sciences. And we research public attitudes so that people in the chemical science community can make their outreach activities more effective.
Inspiring the next generation
The world needs more chemical scientists, and chemistry skills can lead our young people into a vast range of fulfilling careers. We help people see the part they can play in the future of the chemical sciences, and we improve chemistry education.
We provide advice, resources, and practical support to learners and educators in schools, colleges, and universities around the world. In the UK, we are the largest non-governmental funder of chemistry education.
We influence government policy to ensure that opportunities to develop skills meet the unique needs of chemistry.
Realising the potential of chemical scientists
Chemistry can save lives, create jobs, and change the world for the better. But even the best chemical scientists cannot achieve their goals without funding, equipment, and support.
We help chemists everywhere to fulfil their potential. We provide advice on regulations and procedures, and we work with policymakers to ensure chemistry gets the support it needs from governments.
Tackling the world's challenges
The chemical sciences play a vital role in taking on the great challenges facing humanity. Chemistry can help us avoid dangerous climate change, generate energy sustainably, feed the world, and tackle disease and illness.
Chemists all over the world are dedicating their careers to taking on these challenges. We support their efforts, help them to come together and make connections, and promote their achievements.

The FWS recently released the Draft Land Protection Plan to identify the acquisition boundaries for the proposed expansion.
Working with partners, the service outlined approximately 46,600 acres between the refuge and the Mississippi River for restoration, enhancement and management as part of Dahomey NWR.
The refuge was established in 1991 and currently manages 9,691 acres.
The draft is now available for public viewing and comments with a review ending date of April 4.
Requests for a hard copy of the draft can be sent to the plan's FWS contractor, Mike Dawson.
Dawson can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com or 601-955-1518.
A PDF version is also downloadable at www.fws.gov/dahomey.
"This is still just a proposal at this point," said Dawson. "Public viewing and comments are open until April 4 and then we will sit down and go through all the comments.
"If we have to make changes to the plan based on the responses, we will. Once the plan is approved it will allow us to acquire land from willing sellers."
The main purpose of the draft is to provide landowners and the public with an outline of FWS policies, priorities, and protection methods for land in the project area.
The FWS will also assist landowners in determining whether their property lies within the proposed acquisition boundary.
Dawson emphasized that land would only be bought from sellers looking to part with their land.
"Nobody is pressured into selling," he said. "This is completely a willing seller program. By law we have to offer fair market value."
An approved acquisition boundary does not require landowners to sell.
While the plan will likely be approved after review, Dawson said the FWS budget and price agreements would be the major remaining hurdles.
However, he remains confident acquisitions will be made.
Funding for the land would come from two major resources — a federal migratory bird protection fund and a land and water construction fund.
These reserves differ in amount each year and are awarded based on federal priorities.
The FWS lists three main benefits to the expansion: increase and link available habitat for wintering waterfowl and many other species; maintain and enhance recreational opportunities in the region; and enhance public use opportunities include hunting, fishing, wildlife observation, wildlife photography and environmental education and interpretation.
"The only way we can expand is through the acquisition boundary proposed in the document," added Dawson. "I'm confident there's land out there that will be sold."
