@nemo —
BUT, there was a membership card referenced to a group not in the game, the Evil Geniuses for a Better Tomorrow.
Steve Jackson Games also prints the Encyclopedia Discordia and there was a small conspiracy theory that Steve Jackson Games was actually a part of the Illuminati in RL and that the true name of the organization was the Evil Geniuses for a Better Tomorrow
BECAUSE the group didn’t have a card in the Illuminati game and thus couldn’t be controlled by another group.
