Tarotber

The TAROTBER deck.

TAROTBER was a month-long event designed and hosted by sus1d1p in October 2025. Each day of the event, which spanned from the 1st to the 28th, brought a unique gimmick, challenge, game, or event of its own, each themed around a card of the Major Arcana.

The idea behind Tarotber arose from sus' daily suspfp practices. After "commissioning" a major arcana deck from jony for an unrelated project a year before, he was in possession of a set of twenty-eight tarot pfps (due to THE LOVERS, THE DEVIL, and JUDGEMENT each featuring three faces). Combined with his traditional Halloween Witscord Tarot pfp and two others in similar styles, the thematic set was extended to encompass the entire month—and with precedent behind hosting gimmicks on days with especially meaningful pfps, the plan unfolded naturally.

O — THE FOOL ⠀ oct 1

IT BEGINS.

Sus first announced the event, reaching out in search of volunteers and generally encouraging participation while avoiding as many spoilers for the coming days as possible. Although a partial schedule was released with the intent of accruing volunteer signups, low turnouts led him to recruit specific members in a door-to-door fashion. Sus considered this move to be quite annoying, especially before any of the promised festivities actually occurred, but accepted it as necessary and appreciated that it further embodied THE FOOL.

Full Announcement Message

@Puzzle People @WW Subscribers Hi! Sorry to break it to you, but this is not a puzzle, nor is it the latest edition of critically-defamed newspaper-magazine Witscord Weekly™. This is an opportunity if you will, an announcement if you won't, and a warning if you're still deciding. This is TAROTBER. For the entire month of October, as I cycle through my tarot card suspfps so graciously designed by @TheJonyMyster, I will be putting on a unique gimmick for every single day*. Some are entirely personal to me, some are events I'll be hosting, and some fall somewhere in between, but each day will bring a new surprise that aligns with the themes of card I'm displaying. I can't promise all of em will be good, per se—but I'm gonna try. And I'm gonna need your help. For a select few days, that's quite literal: the gimmick simply won't work without volunteer participants. If you're interested in applying, I'm looking for... October 7th-9th – 7-10 volunteers to come play a semi-asynchronous social-deduction game with me. I'll reveal specifics in DMs. October 10th – 2 or 3 players to individually verse me in a more... on-brand game. Or a volunteer ref to oversee it all. October 14th – Anyone who'd like an excuse to host a special event or gimmick of their own; a tournament, challenge, social experiment, anything. I'll help you plan, but you can be the star. October 16th – A select few individuals from this crowd who I'll be shooting a DM to anyway... but when the day comes, you might be able to join even if you're not one of them. (If you'd like to participate or have ANY questions at all, do NOT hesitate to inquire within. I'd like to reveal as little as necessary, but I'll be as transparent as possible, too.) And for the rest of the days... all I ask for is a captive audience. I know not everyone here particularly likes my antics, but I've been slowly plotting this for a while now. It's not the greatest feat. In fact, it's missing a lot of pieces, and i am fucking Terrified. But this whole project means a lot to me, and I've tried my very very hardest to make it cool and inviting and just plain fun. So even if you're dubious, I'd really, really appreciate it if you'd humor me just this once. Or, y'know, 28 times. Ish. And hey, if you're actually kinda pumped about this, lemme know! I've hijacked the admins' accounts to install a special @TAROTBER role so you don't miss any of the festivities. Thank you for reading, feel free to ask me any questions, and we'll just have to see where the cards take us. It's a blank slate, after all. 🃏 ⫫⃝

I — THE MAGICIAN ⠀ oct 2

BY POWERS ABOVE
Today's event will be plain and... easy.

Immediately before announcing the day's event, sus activated a lipogram for the letter M via trashbot's !lipo module. Sus then kept this constraint going for the duration of the day, including in DMs, texts, and real-life writing—a "slip-up" in the afternoon did negate his score in terms of trashbot's message counter, but he continued to avoid use of the letter afterwards. Although not exactly intended, sus was delighted to see other members attempt the challenge as well, including non, octa, jony, Casualjoe, lav, will, emmie, Fridgemancer, and Raz. Lavender ended up with the highest score of 243 points.

At 11:35 that night, sus then suddenly called for everyone's attention to "play a little game". After laying out six tarot cards (those being DEATH, THE EMPRESS, THE FOOL, JUSTICE, THE STAR, and THE HIGH PRIESTESS), he asked for a volunteer to pick a number from one to five. Upon the answer of 3 from octa, he removed card Ⅲ (THE EMPRESS) from the spread and asked for a new number, this time from one to four. Fullest picked 2; sus removed the two outermost cards (DEATH and THE HIGH PRIESTESS), "as requested".

Admitting that he was obviously moving the goalposts with these requests to isolate the card he wanted, sus provided the opportunity to freely choose a card from the three still left in the image. Emmie then selected THE FOOL. After confirming this choice with emmie and everyone else present, he instructed them to read out the first letter in each of his messages that day, starting from the very first use of the lipo command and ending just before the performance. These letters, extracted as lBhNernsbbynaqfunyypubbfryvXrbar, were gibberish—but as his final instruction, sus told the audience to ROT-13 the string, yielding the foretold prediction YOUAREAFOOLANDSHALLCHOOSELIKEONE.

II — THE HIGH PRIESTESS ⠀ oct 3

HIGH AND MIGHTY
Today's gimmick will reveal itself in due time.

Sus invited his Mother into the server, who took questions from the crowd under the moniker "the OG susAF". It was not until the following morning that she arrived, and it was not until she announced it that anyone realized she was sus' mom.

Notable Quotes

Hello.

I'm Sus's mom. I'm here for the high priestess day.

Sus speaks highly of you all.

3 is my favorite number.

Match 3 games are boringly easy. I like the 100 cats games though. I like 3p arpgs. I suck though. → octa: shes a gamer...

Susmom hunt was great but even though sus dumbed it down for me, it was difficult.

I am timeless. → sus: mom hit the elephant button

Lol I'm 46 and yes, i saw the birth of the internet.

→ jony: @susmom Does sus usually let you in on his schemes? Sus shares as much as he chooses to with me... the apple didn't roll far.

Sure, raz. I'll pick a puppet.

I love music, and I love to sing and whistle, but I have no talent in such things. My mom taught me to play piano, but it never took. I sang in hs chorus. Yaaaay. You've probably heard me singing terribly in the background when sus is on.

→ Fullest: susmom give me a suggestion on something to draw Hmmm.... I don't know what my bounds are here,  but how about a portrait of me and sus... given the theme, maybe posed as duccio saw it?

→ lav: what is susmom passionate about Sus, cats, pot, being outside........ I'm pretty boring. I doodle.

I listen to your music alot, will. I enjoy it very much! You make good tracks! Oh and congrats

→ sus: she's the high priestess for a reason Damn straight

→ will: smog (sus mom OG) what music do you listen to? https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtGLI-NHB2NjblvDdpk63ttsc6Rd5Rzyf This was a prepared sample. I listen to a lot of electronica... bt, bluetech, dreaming cooper. I like a good variety though.

I had subliminal stuck in my head and on repeat for 4 days (no exaggeration) without reprieve. → sus: sorry.

I was indeed a Hindu Goddess in a previous incarnation... I have extra hands.

Thanks for having me! Nice to hang!

→ sus: bye mom. Oklyb

Although the intent was for her to stay for only this one day, Susmom continues to lurk and occasionally chimes in during conversation, especially for small events hosted by sus. She also was reprised for THE WORLD.

III — THE EMPRESS ⠀ oct 4

WHATEVER YOU DO...
Your task today, put simply, is to do something cool and show it off. In other words... impress me.

As described, sus encouraged onlookers to impress him. Given this day coincided with SeptaHunt 25, this was a "hands-off" event so as not to require sus' attention or necessarily his own participation. In total, there were six submissions:

• Fridgemancer wrote a song in 17/16 and 17 tone equal temperament.
• Octa shared an Overwatch 2 'Play of the Game' clip of hers (playing as Venture).
• Zimodo created a complicated logic/hunt puzzle for SeptaHunt. Although not officially submitted, and begun a few days prior, the puzzle was only finished on the day of and accepted regardless.
• Marvin hand-drew a map of The Witness.
• Abi most literally impressed sus into a piece of clay.
• Jony created the 12-track album Strawman, though was given an extra day's worth of time.

After all of the submissions were complete, the top three were ranked by sus by impressiveness, with Abi winning third place, Jony taking second, and Zimodo being crowned the ultimate winner.

IV — THE EMPEROR ⠀ oct 5

...DON'T
Your task today, put simply, is to do the opposite of yesterday. Do the worst thing you can think of to me. Within reason.

Similar to the previous day, SeptaHunt was still ongoing, meaning this was another "independent participation" event. Originally, the plan was for sus to take the submissions from the previous day and try to one-up them; however, he underestimated both how long SeptaHunt would run and how advanced the submissions would be, and thus decided to pivot to this riskier and more entertaining option at the last minute.

In total, there were eight submissions, from octa, non, Seren, Abi, Fullest, Evelyn(?), william, and Fridgemancer (whose specific submissions shall not be documented). The rankings were announced shortly before the end of the day, with Fridge earning third place, Will coming in second, and Seren firmly securing the overall win.

V — THE HIEROPHANT ⠀ oct 6

TEST OF FAITH
How deep does the rabbit hole go? It's time to find out...

Sus released a 40-question, 200-point quiz designed to test participants' knowledge of trivia about himself, with the three highest-scoring users each slated to win personalized autographed selfies from him. At the time of this article's writing, these photos still have yet to be taken, as only one of the three winners has called in their request.

The quiz was comprised of four sections, each containing eight normal questions worth five points each, one more involved question worth ten points, and an open-ended bonus question worth up to five extra points granted depending on the quality of the answer rather than its actual accuracy. The four sections were denoted as follows:
