>"I can think of three methods. One would be to simply win the thing, to stretch the definition of simply well beyond breaking. A second would be to assault the originator of the tournament herself, which I presume was your plan. The third would be to take a stand against it. May disagree with it, but there is really no one who vocally stands against it. It is my understanding that such an element and an organizer is necessary for any real protest or boycott to succeed."
> "You would think that with such almighty power of enforcement, those who had created the tournament had thought it out enough to include the most basic of things. Know this, scion of the Hieda clan:
there is no win condition. It is only a logical conclusion that literally the last being standing is the winner, but there is not one single rule that states this. Indeed, this is Sanae's objective even as we speak - to reduce the amount of possible competitors to a countable level by any means necessary, but I am afraid that, should we be reduced to fully implementing this solution, we would quickly run into the most unbreakable of stalemates."
> "A boycott would not undo the twisting spells that hold us in place. We could indeed attempt to forget this tournament ever exists in the hope that the fools up in Heaven simply get bored of it. I know for a fact, however, that they can wait for a
very long time."
> "A direct assault, I feel, is the most expedient and justified response to this charade, but whether you might convince Heaven to call off the tournament is another matter entirely.
Know however, that the Judges of the tournament will be forced to stand against you by the same
rules that bind them to their functions."

broken. It seems whatever system Heaven has implemented cannot deal with whatever is wrong with you."
> "Perhaps," says the goddess, "if you can force what's wrong with you on the system itself, you might cause it to break from the inside out. It would require some drastic anomaly for this to happen, I would imagine. Regardless, I would be satisfied with any of the above options, although the boycott would leave a sour taste in my mouth - I would not be pleased with a
geas sitting on my shoulders for all eternity. So be it. Whom should I bestow immunity upon? "
> The Goddess will go along with whatever option you pick. Depending on your choice of action you will reach either the
BAD ENDING, the
NORMAL ENDING or the
GOOD ENDING.
> The
GOOD ENDING requires certain non-obvious actions to be taken, although all information required to correctly choose these actions has been presented in some way or other.
> The parser may be asked for hints regarding any of the endings, and will provide them to the best of his ability.
