For some reason I am unable to write this game. Either the algorithm doesn't like this name or something else is happening. My first attempt was to use the name Watchers but my page was instantly deleted after I finished writing it. Very strange. Please let me know what is happening.

Odd, I edited the content through the editors script, got no error, can see that a revision has been created, but the content is still empty and the revision shows no diff with the original.

I tried the same thing, and my revision went through.

I think I have found the problem.

For some reason I can't upload the image from the Musketeer Board Painter.

That was why my entire page has been deleted automatically.

Probably you tried to paste the image into the article submisison form. You cannot do that. There is a separate page for uploading image files, which you can reach from a link at the bottom of the article after you posted the text.

Hope this makes sense. Please let me know if there is anything else to consider.

According to Biblical tradition, Lucifer and his angels rebelled against God and were thrown down to the Earth as a punishment.

This is specifically from Milton's Paradise Lost.

I'm pretty sure that Hans would object to this game on religious grounds. He didn't even want to include Shogi variants with demon pieces. Given that this game features demons from a Christian tradition, even I'm feeling uncomfortable with it.

It's where we know it best these days, but Milton got it from the Christian tradition of his time.

As a Christian myself, I don't have much problem with that part. I'm having a little trouble understanding how the Watchers work in this game.
