If you want to find out about the Games of Divinity just challange The Player of Games to a match. He contains everything you need to play any game ever played. Losing your body and soul would be a small price to pay to play a full round of the Games of Divinity.

Interesting idea... I like it...

Correction. WoW is THE Game of Divinity. That's it. UCS, sitting at a giant LAN party, eating Peaches-of-Immortality cup noodles and drinking Ambrosial Bawls. Nothing else is that addictive and wastes so much time.

A very clever Twilight COULD hack UCS's account, shard his prplz and maybe make him quit from frustration.

GoD is clearly all the games... in all forms... that could possibly exist in our reality... wrapped up into one uber-multi-game thing... clearly...

You are overthinking it. The Games are actually some sort of weird multiplayer Tetris game.

I remember that in the sidereal comic that "mercury is ahead in game of divinity." Perhaps she was ahead in the snake & ladder game...

Note on my list to tell my players:
WoW is not a game of divinity!

Everyone knows that it's actually 3-D Arkanoid with RPG elements.

How can he lose if the game doesn't end?

Lleaving the game would be forefeiting, ie a loss. Being eternal only means that technically, he cant win either. Only remain in the game forever. The only way out of it would be social fuing the other incarnae to all drop out leaving him the only player and therefore winner.

There's a hint in the Abyssals splat, under the Unholy Unwitting Pact flavor text:

"Even the Unconquered Sun, supposed shining paragon of virtue, could be bribed to forsake Creation for the bliss of eternal victory in the Games of Divinity."

There's another in the Sidereals splat, where it talks about a potential conflict between Saturn and the Unconquered Sun:

"According to the principles on which Creation is based, however, the Unconquered Sun must defeat every enemy, including death itself."

The Unconquered Sun's motivation, I think, is to conquer all. He's conquered the Primordials. He's conquered Heaven. He's currently focused on the Games because he has yet to conquer them, and it's his Motivation to conquer everything.

Because the never ending game is broken up in Matches.

The Betrayal of Hierophant is pretty much simply Speaking his [Unconquered Sun] name in vain - and none of the other solars (who all know it) opposed it.

It is a sign of the total corruption of Solars that the final straw is not some giant atrocity but some minor offense.

To win a game that has no end and goes on forver, for if he loses he ceases to be perfect and unconquered.

Kappa Doom:
What was his betrayal? I've heard mention of this before, but not sure what book has info on it, I imagine the box set has info on it but I don't have it.

There's a comic that alludes to the incident, but Dreams doesn't actually have anything else about it. One of Panther's memories from Caste Book: Zenith involves his time as Hierophant, when he and his fellows decided "Hey, we could use bigger mansions and shit," and told everyone the Unconquered Sun personally approved of their tax hike. This was a petty, petty lie, and was the shit-on-the-head that broke the camel's neck. The Unconquered Sun turned his face from his Chosen at that moment; the Hierophant even noticed, but he didn't care.
