Re: Wait! The Game can detect demons?

The limits come less from their institutional culture as it is from sheer logistics: Each Game band can find identify one demon Band...unless they have multiple Band attunements. For the life of me, I can't see Azzie dropping them like candy. I suppose some effort is made by the Game to get as many Bands 'detectable' as possible in a given city, with 'holes' able to be filled with a few phone calls. If a city has a 'Triad' of the Game, they probably detect 3-5 of the possible Bands, which ones an important question on everyones' list. Since the Game isn't talking and asking is treachery, and no one ELSE can detect Game demons except others of the Game, this makes things very interesting. |

Re: Wait! The Game can detect demons?
One reason Asmodeus is probably leery of giving his servitors too many other Band attunements is that each one he adds makes the servitor more of a flight risk. Think about it - the more types of demon a Renegade can reliably detect, the fewer options Asmodeus has when it comes to sending other demons to collect them. A hypothetical Game Renegade with all the band attunements would have a perfect demon detector, and would have a much better chance of evading capture for a long, long time. In fact, I'd go so far as to speculate that Asmodeus would probably never give any one demon the "full set" as it were, ensuring that he always has a Band he can send after them undetectably.

Hmm. Thinking about it, (and putting a flavor thread spin on it), the number of Band attunements probably is one of many signs of status in his organization. If one doesn't have one normally, he adds one extra band attunement per Distinction up to three. The band attunement statistically least distributed is that of Djinn for several reasons: one, his organization is probably a bit Djinn heavy so it isn't as necessary; two they are his trackers of first resort for Renegades; and three he is a Djinn himself and any edge... |

(The "no, nobody gets them all BUT ME" aspect, regarding flight risks, is another very good point.)
