ΑΣΠΊΔΑ ΤΗΣ ΓΝΏΣΗΣ :: "aspída ti̱s gnó̱si̱s" :: Shield of Knowledge

read the patterns of new byzantium to learn the traits
don't toss away words like good and evil to waste
use history to add where ignorance stands strong
don't assume legality makes something right or wrong
avoid pitfalls, lemmings and know lovers attack
understand the veils over your eyes and adapt or react
use bullets sparingly and practice your defense
you never know when truth will become an offense.

guard your eyes from the replica,
know where deceptica is
tell your kids where it hides,
the lies are woven
often forgotten
mistaken for cotton,
I grabbed a cloak. hid inside and i awoke
in deceptica.

EDx is an encyclopedia of deceptive techniques, most particularly those used in rhetoric and debate, to argue or prove a thesis in a way which is logically, philosophically or factually undeserved. This wiki is for the benefit of all people who wish to engage in informed discussion, the enemies of which are listed herein.

Use EDx as a defense against corrupted debate and the words of the dogmatic, ill-informed, biased or malicious. This is a realm of logic and reason, not emotion. A place where the tools may be found to purify knowledge according to the mission of Bal Gibil.

To get started, you could visit the EDx Lexicon or jumping into the Class listing to see which common strategies have been used on you lately!

We want to hear from you! Please contribute to Deceptica.
Are you the type that needs rules? We only ask that you respect the laws of Bal Gibil.
