They must be exposed how many it takes to start bringing them down.

The illuminati are a fictitious organisation invented by Robert Anton Wilson in the 1960s. RAW was always clear that he had invented them for literary purposes. He took the name from the Bavarian Illuminati, a small masonic group that existed briefly in the 18th century only in Bavaria but have no connection to modern New World Order conspiracy theories other than RAW saying that they are the same in his novels.

Is that an expansion set? I really used to love that game.

I have thousands of the Illuminati CCG Illuminati: New World Order (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illuminati:_New_World_Order) cards; which was even better than the original little cheap sets. I haven't played the more recent deluxe version.

I would get back into it but from the sounds of it, it would be a bit too much like magic the gathering in the way that there are a lot of cards to collect and I spent way to much cash on that game when i got the "collecting habit". I finally sold all my cards for about 2k and went cold turkey about 5 years ago.

I played MTG a few times but never really enjoyed it. I'd say INWO was a superior card game because if you've got 100 cards plus the rules then you can just shuffle them and deal them out and play a 4 player game, MTG didn't play properly that way. Also with INWO, although there were rare cards, etc, they're not more powerful than common cards, just more interesting. So no matter how much money you spend you can't create a killer deck that thrashes a beginner; just a really weird deck that interests the beginner while he thrashes you.

Sounds more like it should be somewhere in Vegas.

Are you sure this is not just a simple dyslexic mistake and that it was just that the hotel was illuminated? :cheesy:

[lost thought]

The Illuminati as every one knows where the Italian gas street lighters whom sadly where made redundant when electricity was brought on line ;D

The Illuminati - officially the worst named secret group ever.

There you go. Mistaken for a pasta sauce, obviously a worse name than Illuminati. O0

Hi Bob

I guess the wise conspiracy theorists (If they exist) would say that The Illuminatus Trilogy was written as to "absurdify" the existence of The Illuminati by the "real" Illuminati.

Intractable reasoning!

Yes. At least some of them (conspiracy theorists, not wise conspiracy theorists) say that RAW was a member of The Priory of Sion/ZOG/whatever and wrote the Illuminati to divert attention away from the genuine secret society. The mugs go looking for the number 23 when the real secret number is .

He encouraged this by adding the Priory to his [I]Historical Chronicles of the Illuminati as an insignificant little group controlled by the Illuminati, after the PoS were first well publicised in The Holy Blood and Holy Grail. Almost as if he was trying to attract attention away from the PoS? Probably not...

Steve Jackson of Steve Jackson Games, who make the Illuminati card game previously mentioned, has been accused of the same thing. He knows what is really going on but is confusing us with "disinfo". On the other hand the poor man also gets accused of knowing that 9/11 was going to happen and giving clues about it:

http://www.cuttingedge.org/news/n1753.cfm

"This role-playing game called the "Illuminati -- New World Order", or "INWO" is smoking gun proof that the Illuminati plan to produce Antichrist was well known in certain circles in 1995, when the game was distributed."

This Christian fundy site is just one of many websites making stupid accusations about the INWO card game.

Ha! I never knew that about the Illuminati game. I've met SJ and can attest that he is 100% non-illuminati;p

How could SJ have known about the Twin Towers and the Pentagon attacks....? Two possible non-conspiracy answers:

1)They were huge targets, in size and importance, and thus would be picked up as prime targets for any would be terrorist. Duh.

2) Bin Laden was fond of card based role-playing games, preferring the INWO game to "Majic The Gathering," due to the latter's blasphemous use of Majic.


I'm with 1, but 2 is more plausible, IMHO, than the page you linked to:)

I've met The Other Steve Jackson (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Jackson_(UK_game_designer)). Or are they really the same person and it is all a conspiracy?
