At this point, if she says that their benefactors are a group of 12 sentient horned rats with an 13th empty seat, i would believe it.
46013: Darius Drake - Monday, February 24 2025 - 4:41 AM
Profit! That's their true allegiance. Profit and nothing else.
46014: someone - Monday, February 24 2025 - 6:03 AM
They work for Handland - A Place of Adventure.

i dont think ive ever seen her smile like that
46016: Bogg - Monday, February 24 2025 - 7:52 AM
And now she's being snarky...

Vallance?

It's Justopea isn't it? Specifically the Veda Project.
46019: Abbie - Monday, February 24 2025 - 9:48 AM
I'll take the long shot and suggest that SMILE is in it for themselves and the M is for Maria.
46020: Anthony - Monday, February 24 2025 - 9:51 AM
I assume a shocking answer would be that they're working for the global order.
46021: Deliverance - Monday, February 24 2025 - 9:55 AM
Smile owes allegiance to the Society of Burk, praise be his name.
That's not one of the world powers!
Shows what you know, paladin.
I don't believe you!
Told you so.

Commence wild mass guessing!

It's the living technology city, isn't it? Most of the cost of running this game is from the technology and infrastructure, so if all this wondrous tech is just something the game master makes innately the costs are manageable.
46024: Someone - Monday, February 24 2025 - 12:41 PM
Hmm. Back in 1155 she was told that at least 2 other contestants work for the GO. Mr Green was one, but I don't think we ever learned about the second.
46025: oskarloko - Monday, February 24 2025 - 1:23 PM
The reptilians, clearly

@presticus Until proven otherwise, Veda is behind all plans, schemes, and projects in the HOH universe.
46027: Potatopeelerkind - Monday, February 24 2025 - 5:54 PM
I don't think they're linked to any specific country. Everyone here is assuming the same conclusions the paladin jumped to but Maria's already implied that's incorrect.
I wonder if they're linked to Zadkiel and the library people we saw earlier. A group believing that the growth of magic and prophecies in the world will lead to the end of the world, and trying to prevent it? I can see why creating espers could be handy for that.
46028: Whispers of Sorrow - Monday, February 24 2025 - 8:40 PM
@presticus: That wouldn't surprise me. The recent revelation of the dates on the prophecies may also be involved.
46029: Whispers of Sorrow - Tuesday, February 25 2025 - 12:25 AM
One random thought: It's not impossible that they work for some relative of Tobi.
46030: Straightbackward - Tuesday, February 25 2025 - 5:08 AM
I want it to be justopea for the lols
