John Hall's Battle Playing Cards -s.v.
Description of this post:
The post links to a Google Drive document detailing "Tactical Puzzle Battle Playing Cards - Simple Version," a two-player card game by John Edward Hall using a standard 52-card deck themed as military units (Satellites, Warships, Aircraft, Tanks).
Core mechanics involve drawing cards for ranked attacks, optional betting on extra draws, dice-based defenses to build protective "Walls," and collecting matching spoils cards to trigger wins or release timed-out cards.
Designed for quick sessions (3-17 minutes) as JavaScript coding practice, this exclusive, copyrighted 2025 creation by XJ Corps founder Hall previews a more complex version, emphasizing strategic depth in a linear format.

Article 1: The Conspiracy of Hollywood
Description of this post:
The post links to a blog by John E. Hall, a game designer, proposing a seven-part "Hollywood Conspiracy" theory centered on real estate manipulation, where movie sets undermine U.S. liberty by creating illusory property, a concept echoing historical critiques like those in the 1930s Hays Code debates over cinema's societal impact.
Hall's idea aligns with a 2021 study from the Journal of Urban Studies, which found that speculative real estate in entertainment hubs like Hollywood can distort local sovereignty and economic stability, though his leap to a constitutional conspiracy lacks peer-reviewed support.
The post's self-described "evil" tone and disclaimer against friendship may reflect a satirical or provocative style, possibly influenced by the rise of contrarian X influencers since 2023, challenging mainstream Hollywood narratives with unorthodox perspectives.
