The infinite game of Rennes-le-Château

Is the study of Rennes-le-Château and the ongoing revision of its mythology an elaborate game? Although irrelevant at first sight, this simple question prompts the development of an interesting model, applicable to many other areas of so-called "mysterious archeology."

Mariano

Get a life?

Whats with all the put downs and stuff about RLC?

After all, you partake too, and i bet you make money out of it

Where do you fit in, in the 'infinite game of Rennes-le-Chateau'

In the last sentence of my article

Rennes-le-Château is, to me, a key point. And in the context of its infinite game, I have chosen the role of preserver of its original nature.

I see ... self appointed???

RLC is a key point of what? And its original nature is what?

If you didnt have the 'infinite game' - you would have no 'role as preserver of its (RLC) original nature'

Bless you though, for trying

PS Dont mind me, i just finished a 12 hour night shift, and am overtired and irritable

All in the game though, eh?

Yes! As any other role in any other infinite game!
What's your?


Are you threatening the game with these well-defined questions?! You won't have me

What's your?

I dont claim any role ....

just looking for the truth ...

and an archaeologists dream

No dreaded 'good versus evil' here

Are you threatening the game with these well-defined questions?! You won't have me

Ha.

So you *know* nothing?

Like the rest of us

Games transcend truth and its contrary.

Does the inifinite game of RLC not like deep and probing questions then????

Games transcend truth and its contrary.

Oh, you're a philospher now then?

Cherisey played games all the time.

You dont appear to appreciate his game, or Plantards

Or maybe i am wrong .... dont know you that well.

It does! If not, why wasting my time in writing an article about it? It is the only side of the topic I'm still amazed of. Chérisey's declarations in his "Pierre et Papier" are totally coherent with this playful scenario.

"The problem is not in the game itself: there is no trace of irony in many authors [...], whose participation in the endless game of Rennes-le-Château is largely unconscious."
About this, Luigi Calabrò wrote, "the lack of irony is an important element for the infinite game, because being conscious of playing would generate parodies. Now, players are involuntarily parodistic."

because being conscious of playing would generate parodies. Now, players are involuntarily parodistic

Too wordy, too in depth, and a game in itself.

Too full of psychology trying to explain a simple interest in Sauniere and whether there was any point to his activities.

Its this that gives RLC 'research' a bad name Mariano.

Go and do some proper historical research, and less talking about Monopoly.

And with that im off to bed .... and to dream about the hidden tomb of Alaric

Awesome article. Thanks for sharing.

Being an infinite game, it should go on.

"Sandy, Bill, Pat, Rene and Bruce, my brother, and everyone else were unwitting pawns in my game [...] I do believe Saunière found a secret, something hidden in the vicinity of Rennes-le-Chateau, and there is something truly amazing to be found. It is something that I will continue looking for." (Ben)

What's amazing is the fact that Ben believes he can still pull something off and pass it off as though none of this ever happened. No shame whatsoever.

Ben does have immense knowledge of RLC
and he sure hasn't given up that is for sure
It bothers me too TCP
I wonder if he gets it???

Unfortunately, very old news.

Amazing? How long have you been in this forum? I'm wouldn't be shocked to read that the Tomb Man is only pretending to confess in response to repeated Vatican threats, but if you read his "confession" carefully you'll discover it's encrypted with clues to the real secret which is yet to be revealed.

FS

Hence my comment.

TCP

really?? when can I buy the book?

Having no shame would seem to be an almost must-have characteristic for many on this forum, IMHO...
