The Stakes of the game

you know i dont wish to spend all my time attacking the collapsing sections of this ridiculous failed state....

believe it or not , i don't care to express myself that much through these asshole digital platforms of echoe chambers and censorship , photos of cats and endless means , and generally i do prefer to be a private individual, this year has been a bit of an exception ill grant you ....but then this year has been a little exceptional 😁 and although it will probably take a years worth of therapy to get passed some of the imposed hangups that i have accrued this year , im in a pretty good place all things considered, it is a shame that thete was a massive alpacca cull in the counties recently , but hey ...thats ok i can wait a lil while longer for my alpaccas to arrive .... in the meantime , im wandering around as i tend to do , but with the notable difference that im leaving things around the place , places that i potter , its an interesting notion one borne on the back of the geo cache concept that i took part in a few years ago now , over the winter , well actually , i think this might just keep going for years , but well see so, ive been mining ....in a few countries , not in an industrial environmentally detrimental way of course , more akin to a more holistic american indian philosophy really , and in doing so ive gathered some beautiful and rare rocks , gemstones and ores , some of those ores ive even been smelting into a solid silver coin currency , which i have then used to back a twenty year portfolio of art , design , architecture and sculpture and enough life experience to render me as grey as i have ultimately become ! and such as this year has turned out i figured id leave little talismans and amulets here thete and everywhere , its been quite pleasant venturing to olaces intentionally seeking out difficult places to reach , places to leave these little totems lying around , i think ive even managed to do it in a wealth accumulation model for participants. these little ethically sourced and locally made ' key ring fobs ' have a badic RRP of about £3.00 each -

these little wax seals an RRP of about a fiver

these little bags , some containing 7 chakra stones , some containing larger singular mineral specimens have an RRP of about a tenna £10 sterling for thise of you that don't use the pound as a base denomination....

these little bags - they contain a little bottle with a troy ounze of silver ore each with an RRP of about £20

and these little bags contain a solid silver dollar made of 925 silver ( hallmark quality ) after weve run the ore through the smelting and refining process , the royal mint equivalent equates to about a £30 RRP on those , but seeing as mine are rarer than the mint whilst technically doubling up as ' art ' seeing as they are hand forged by myself out of silver ore from a mine that sunk under water over a hundred and fifty years ago ...theres both a danger and rarity value to these that i would argue , makes them worth more than the mints mass pressing of coronation coins and whatnot ! but well leave that for the antique market to decide once im dead ...

there are some little bags that have 5 x silver coins ... there are little bags that have little gold coins too , and some that have cut jewels of varying sizes and value to them too ... so the idea , basically ....because I do get about , and in doing so , i like to seek out the nicest little spots to sit and contemplate this and that amid my little travels , i hope to pay a little homage to my fellow solitude seekers and the spaces and places we coincidentally share .... the trick is , this isnt a digital game , theres no map , no real clues to speak of ...you cant get an app for it ( and actually if someone tries to come up with one ill collaose the whole game ) if you are having one if those days that we all seem to have in these mad days , and you decide to take yourself off for a quiet minute to a picturesque place for contemplation , then i would encourage you to leave your phone at home, sit in the scenery , get to know it , instead of scrolling throufh all of the brain rot crap that can easily be peoples go to these days , scan the world around you ...if you happen to be be in a place ive sought out for the purpose of this little game , you might just catch a glimpse of a amulet or talisman , hanging from a branch or on some rocky outcrop , then it will be one of 7 or 13 others within the locale. ive done this in such a way , that if you are seeking them , you probably wont find them , they tend to be most visible ...once your eyes have relaxed a little , once you are really in that space, when you are looking at the world and the details of it distract your train of thoughts away from the normal trains of thought ... when you are breathing in and taking in that which is before you ...thats when you might catch a glimpse of one , folliw the oath of the squirrel in the branches as it runs across your periphery , thats when one will catch your eye ! if you get a wooden token , keep hold of it , like i say if you find one , then there are either 7 or 13 others within the vicinity, four wooden tokens can be traded for a bag of chakra stones , three bags of chakra stones can be traded for a bottle of silver ore , three bottles of ore can be traded for a silver dollar, five silver dollars can be traded for a gold florin and two gold florins can be traded for a cut jewel and 5 cut jewels can be traded for an original painting ...this gives the game quite a lifespan with no overall deadline ! every now and again , there are bonus bags too with various and interesting contents that definitely up the stakes of the game ... so off you go my little chickens at present there are over 1500 seperate artifacts spread out over approximately two thousand square miles , i dont want your likes , i don't care for shares ,and no , you can't subscribe either , this is for those beautiful curuous and inquisitive fellow seekers of silence and stillness in the cacophonous noise we have made of the world ... good luck and big hugs x the long haired mal content x the Original Arts Hole - we now accept - Gold - Silver - yachts - classic cars and motorcycles - real estate -mineral rights and livestock - as means of valid exchange.... the original Arts Hole - a rose by any other name....
