Hi, everyone 
We just keep going from strength to strength - and at this juncture I'd like to thank everyone for being so involved in this group I don't take credit for it at all - rather, the congratulations need to go to all IDSers, past and present, for the dedication and enthusiasm you've all shown. I'm pleased to continue supporting the team in an administrative role even though I'm not participating actively just now - but I will again, I promise Thanks again to Alta for keeping an eye on the thread and reminding me to change over!
As before, most of what follows is copied shamelessly from Rodney's intro post from the previous thread.
The IDS is the group to be in if you've got a burning desire to get to know that one deck really really well! It's got depth, it's got history and meat and it'll keep you going for months on end, just studying the background and journalling with the cards. Any deck is fair game for this, but bear in mind that many modern decks are, to a degree, RWSs in fancy dress and the symbolism is often diluted or excised altogether. Because the IDS is intensive, decks with a deep and satisfying history or background tend to yield the best results.
Please PM me with changes/additions/subtractions to your IDS!!!!!!
I will always get my PMs but sometimes I'll miss the posts, so please PM me as well as posting here (coz that's nice for everyone else with whom you're sharing your IDS journey).
The illustrious history of this venture can be viewed in the below threads:
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
Part 4
Part 5
Anyone is welcome to join in at any time, with any deck, for any duration they care to commit to. To join, all you have to do is post in this thread to say you're joining and let us know what deck(s) you'll be using.
This thread is where you can post about your difficulties, your triumphs, breakthroughs, and maybe even chat with others using the same deck in their own IDS. This thread is not about judging people's difficulties or failures, but about supporting people when/if they run into problems with their IDS.
Many of the first group of IDSers found it useful to change their signatures to reflect their participation in the IDS. Doing so identifies you as an IDSer across the forums and also reinforces your commitment to your IDS. As with everything else in the IDS, this step is voluntary.
Most IDSers have found it helpful to post a list of pledges about what they will/won't do during their IDS. Here is one post about what did and didn't work for me in making (and keeping) my pledges for the first IDS.
