To Disclose or Not to Disclose. If you were in possession of a unique artifact, would you tell anyone?
Wondering what you all would do if you were in possession of a unique item. Like an item that has a symbol or something on it or an item that is highly sought after.

Would you disclose? Why or why not?

Disclose to whom and for what purpose?... it depends.

Re: To Disclose or Not to Disclose. If you were in possession of a unique artifact, would you tell anyone?
Several factors to consider.

Like, why is it sought after?

What would the possible consequences be with either choice?

but mostly,

what does your heart and your instinct tell you?

Disclose on this forum or wherever. Just to let people have a spot on the inside track.

Why are you guys asking all the questions? Lol.

Q. Like, why is it sought after?
A. Certain powerful people have been looking for this because they have a very specific devious use for it.

Q. What would the possible consequences be with either choice?
A. Disclosure would result in certain conspiracy theories being blown wide open, lots of people would begin to smell the coffee but could also result in certain people trying to suicide you or they would just deny the authenticity of the item. More than likely the suicided theory because as I said earlier, they seek the physical possession of the item.

Q. what does your heart and your instinct tell you?
A. This is all hypothetical, remember?

If there is evil seeking it then there must also be someone good trying to keep it from them.

So, seek powerful allies to plan a foolproof disclosure.

I think you should disclose it on the forum. I would like to see the artifact myself.

Depends. Would you be able to live with yourself if you disclosed you had possession of this item and then it was taken from you?

Disclose only to people you trust aren't the people who would use the info/artifact for evil. But first, get yourself armed and surround yourself with people who have got your back and will help protect you.

Re: To Disclose or Not to Disclose. If you were in possession of a unique artifact, would you tell anyone?
As you have asked before it depends on who is seeking it.

And of course to what end.

Would this item ultimately jeopardize my & my families safety? Even beyond grand children?

Me?

I'd destroy it.

And do my best to never tell anyone about it.

What possible 'good' to me or them could come from it being accidentally being revealed.

But luckily for me, I'm not .... special, and I've thrown away so much old weird shit that was 'handed down'....

I'm positive I'm not the only one that doesn't care about some obsolete past that nobody understands.

Re: To Disclose or Not to Disclose. If you were in possession of a unique artifact, would you tell anyone?
It REALLY depends on what it was..to be honest..

I would probably keep hold of it , hide it somewhere that no one could EVER find .. Then I'd draw up some sort of intricate map/clue system and leave it to pass down throughout your families line ...

When I buried/hid it.. I would include some sort of notation as to what it is, what t does, if you know, and the importance/possible uses for it..


Like I said it all depends on what it is.. if it were a Biblical artifact, there would certainly be many dilemnas you'd have to face , including moral..
Especially with something such as the Ark of the Covenant...
Holy Grail , Spear of Destiny .. and etc..

Something like one of those or the like.. One option besides hiding and passing it down would be to find a very holy person in an obscure remote area of the world.. through research, that is NOT connected to the Vatican in any shape or form.., and let THEM deal with taking care of it keeping it secret.. and safe from evil...


If it were some kind of alien artifact or something of historical importance, I would secretly get as much security as humanly possible, and auction it off at one of them high roller auctions in Europe lol .. and become RICH!!!

.
.
Like I said though , it really all depends on exactly what the item was...

I guess I would be so excited I have to tell my relatives for sure. Could keep it a secret if needed but my "excitedness" to share would win.

Do not disclose. If you add any actual specificity to your story, people will blow it to shreds, and end your weakass attempt at role-playing with a heap of BS flags.

No, stay cagey. Tease people with claims of marvelous powers and a grand conspiracy. When interest starts to flag, Google search for some Illuminati, Andean, or wicca imagery, then make your own crude copy and claim it came from the artifact.

Most important, when someone does question your story, abuse them mercilessly. Threaten to use the artifact's vast powers against them. Tell them you have already tracked their IP, and you are watching.

In short, tease the gullible and threaten the skeptical. Add a little imagination and you should get 50 pages minimum.

Disclose on youtube. Go VIRAL.
You need exposure for disclosure dude!

The more people see you and know who you are, the less likely you are to be "suicided". Just make sure you never go anywhere alone for the rest of your living days.

Do not tell anybody, or sell it via Sotheby's. I told to my best friend I have violin made by Pietro Guarneri from Cremona and within several weeks when I was away the violin was gone.
