The business cards. Everyone has heard about them, but only a few people have been lucky enough to be on the receiving end of one. Mysterious yet common, these plain white slips of paper mean more than their look implies. These ordinary paper cards mean someone has taken an interest to you. Someone from the mysterious Avidité Syndicat.
But as of Monday, April 17th, these cards will no longer be restricted to those whom the Syndicat has an interest in. Instead, a new set will be printed... a set directed to those who can see the finer points of the Matrix.
"For far too long people have misunderstood our purpose here in the Matrix. Too many have forgotten why we are so powerful here. It is not because of our muscles, or our combat prowless. We are powerful because we know something others do not. We have embraced knowledge and information as tools and weapons in our new world. And it's about time we got back to our roots," said Lady Return when questioned about the event.
"We are releasing 10 special business cards. The same type we give to our recruits, but with a twist. On the back of each business card is a puzzle. Some fairly easy, others intricately complex. These cards will be held by our members, who will be scattered across the Matrix, difficult to find. However, once you can track one of our members down and get a business card from them and be the first to solve the puzzle, you will be rewarded handsomely.
"The Syndicat will be paying 1 million information to the first person to solve any card. Do the math, that's 10 million information that we're practically giving away. And no, we're not restricting it either. So if you solve 2 business cards before anyone else, you're going to get 2 million information. If you can somehow solve all 10 first... you will get all 10 million information. But you have to find all of our little puzzles first."
A Polite Business Venture
The rules of engagement
When: The event will start on April 17th at 9:00 PM EST in Club Avalon in the Richland District of the Matrix and here on the Forums.
How: At 9:00 PM EST, Return will post a list of 10 riddles, each pointing to a location in the Matrix. Once there, you must find the Avidité Syndicat member and request a business card from them.
Once you request the card, the Syndicat member will /tell you a code word. Visit our website (http://www.aviditesyndicat.com) and go to the "Business Card Redemption" area on the first page. Enter your code word to view the business card you just received.
On it will be a small puzzle. Once you can solve the puzzle, you may e-mail the answer to Lady Return (Return in game) and if you are the first to solve it, you will get 1 million information!
So show up, solve some puzzles, meet some new friends, and enjoy the vast reality of the Matrix!
