[Grins] Ah, but answered prayer in In Nomine is a form of Focused Effort {CPG p 10). Persuading the Damned to had over their essence to Habbalite 'clergy' actually prevents this from happening. "Seriously, do you want to try getting salvation on your own merits, or will you let us do this - when we have millennia of experience and our prayers have moved countless Souls to Heaven". From > damienw[et]juno.com: > 'course, it DOES help maintain the fiction that Hell is 'Purgatory', > and I imagine a pragmatic Superior would consider it an acceptable > risk if it was held below a certain percentage. Not to mention they'd > consider the penitent a bad influence. :) remember Animal Farm? How the "Vet bought the van of the knackers yard and hadn't had time to repaint it"? Whenever the DP needs Forces for some project, they surround a Soul (pointed out by a Habbalite as believably devout and therefore a trouble maker) with a nimbus and raise them up into the sky - before stripping them for parts. Mind you, I can't see that working in a light hearted campaign! From Beth: > [It _IS_ a Soap Opera. > It is _NOT_ canon. It is fun, though. I make no apologies. Besides, it > allows the exploration of interesting themes like Habbalite Memes.]) Sounds like much fun.

I'm sorry to see it coming, and I hope it doesn't hit In Nomine when our line's already in trouble. That being said... if it's really been that long since they've had reliable financials up SJGames way -- how do they *know* our products aren't doing as well as they need to?
