| - Dvorak was the name given to an infinite-state machine created by Abrahim Zherkezhi used to create algorithms that would be used for Information Warfare ultimately by Displace International CEO and founder Douglas Shetland. The Masse Kernels, created by Philip Masse, were repeated through Dvorak to increase the accuracy of the Masse Kernels themselves. Dvorak was hidden in a building adjacent to Zherkezi's penthouse in the Manhattan Garment District, New York. It was used on used on a number of occasions to copy each algorithm used in hacking processes to infiltrate or tamper with high tech machinery of weaponry, such as to cause a blackout or make the battery in North Korea launch a missile that sunk the USS Clarence E. Walsh. For some time in 2007, Dvorak was being maintained by its own keeper. Sam Fisher encounters Dvorak as part of his mission to identify and gain intelligence to what it does.
- While there is no doubt that 1000 Blank White Cards can lead to a rip-roaring good time (if you're one of those people who prefer staying home and playing games), for game design aficionados, it's a little too loose. Hence 1kBWC's little brother, Dvorak. Dvorak differs from 1kBWC in a few ways: all decks have a theme (well, usually--sometimes the theme is that there is no theme), the cards are restricted to specific decks, and there's less of a focus on random humor and artwork, instead specializing in playability. The Cards are usually categorized into different sets, unlike the universal Point/Effect dynamic. Creating and playtesting a Dvorak deck is a little more similar, as new cards can be proposed and rules change, depending on how the players feel. Dvorak also boasts a working online version of the game, and printable decks, found here. However, the games are very compatible with each other; game variants that combine tendencies of both are common. 1kBWC can help stimulate creativity by adding a theme, and Dvorak can institute some Blank or Semi-Blank cards, for a little more spontaneity at the expense of airtight gameplay.
