I recently drew the 'Death of an Anarchist' card, and the Fierce Revolutionary mentions he "Thinks he's gonna be Jack soon." What exactly does that mean?

What do you think it means? You'll get concrete answers much later on, but this is a hint at the true nature of Jack-of-Smiles.

I get that, but I was more asking if it was like, a mind control ghost, or crazy people, or some kind of disease.

No one really knows. It just so happens that every now and then someone picks up a knife and goes on a rampage. Depending on how strong the person is, this can end up being a serial killing spree or just some minor harassment.

Of course, there IS an explanation, but you'll only find it much later, and I don't want to spoil.
If you really want to know, send me a PM.

You will get a chance much later in game to solve Jack's mystery, with several stats above 100.

In my opinion, that particular story is much better enjoyed by playing it through yourself rather than being told the answer. :-)

(Having said that, the spoilers listed here are accurate, and I've gotta say - I do appreciate how they've been worded. ^_^ )

Uh, can't wait to finish other plans that I current have and start that story.
If I'm right, the Fate option just adds more levels to the whole story, right? For example, instead of jumping from level 6 to level 13, this option let's you go through those levels?

Which I happen to just have finished. I won't spoil too much, but a statue is involved.
