Well that is not good...

On the contrary, he's having great fun and is likely to wind up on the winning side. Yeah, we are ahead in the game.

As you may have figured out, this is a gastard game. Your wincons were written by Heaven, so of course they would say you need to stop the Devils from winning. That Transition to Purgatory message, yeah, we know all about that one from those who joined us. Heaven again.

If you want, I can repeat it verbatim. If they hadn't joined us and understood the full scope of the game, do you think they would tell us what it was? You've been lied to, over and over again.

However, the real battle is over the number of souls for each side as the game continues, not that you would ever be told that. The side with the most souls win and currently, despite a slow start, we are leading and we have enough info to clinch it.

So, I'm going to make an outright offer to the pair of you - want to join the winning side?

So need to wrap my brain around this one. So Christian's wincon is what? Devil's wincon is what?

Or you could, you know, have read the thread called "Queueing in Purgatory".

You know I completely missed that post.

No I was referring more to this missive:

Transition to Purgatory

You have died, but because you have committed X sins, you cannot go to Heaven. The Devils have not yet claimed your soul, but they will certainly try. Each Night, one Devil may try to claim your soul by guessing your Cardinal Sin. If they guess correctly, you will go to Hell (this is bad). However, at the end of each Day, your number of sins is halved, rounded down. If you reach zero sins before a Devil has claimed your soul, you will ascend to Heaven (this is good). You may also gamble with the Devils to try to reduce your sin and end your stay in Purgatory earlier.

You may now only post on the Purgatory board. (You may continue to read-only any other boards you have access to.) Please do not contact any players by any other means. You may create an account with your regular user name (if you don't already) at [redacted board details]

As I said, the WinCon for Heaven and Hell are simple: have the most souls by the end of the Game. If you go to Heaven you get their wincon, if you are recruited by us, you get our wincon.

Now, Heaven is inactive through the game, so the PMs and roles are all biased to them. Hell has active agents (The Devils) who will try and recruit people by guessing their Cardinal Sins. If we don't guess enough correctly, we lose as Heaven will have more souls. If we guess enough we will win.

So as I said - interested in being recruited to the team more likely to win?

Any questions, or are you just happy to float off?
