Add to the list of Symptoms in “Diseases”:
Eternal Torment. Visible. A Villager exhibiting Eternal Torment should, in every blog comment they make, include a string of at least 10 characters comprised of any number of “A” characters, followed by any number of “R” characters, followed by any number of “G” characters, followed by any number of “H” characters.
In “Spectral Actions”, change “a Dead Villager may move a Remedy” to “a Dead Villager who is not exhibiting Eternal Torment may move a Remedy”.
In “The Doctor’s Rounds”, change “and which is not Death” to “and which is not Death or Eternal Torment”.
Add a new rule, “The Bet”:
At any time, the doctor may take the following actions in sequence as an atomic action, if any remedy has the potential to Cure the Black Death:
* Add the symptom Eternal Torment to Cuddlebeam.
* Repeal this rule.At any time, the doctor may take the following actions in sequence as an atomic action, if no remedy has the potential to Cure the Black Death:
* Remove all Diseases from Cuddlebeam.
* Remove all Symptoms from Cuddlebeam.
* Set Cuddlebeam’s location to Home.
* Repeal this rule.
(As inspired by Cuddlebeam’s recent comments on “The Cured Endgame”)
By random chance, both Pokes and Cuddlebeam got assigned to pushing rocks up hills duty for the first several decades of their Purgatory. Often, conversation would come back to God’s beneficence or lack thereof. What kind of God would give us these terrible Headaches and Mouth Pains? Why would They give us so many plentiful remedies in the forest but have it so that we couldn’t be cured by them. Were They just playing some sort of game with us? “In fact”, Cuddlebeam said, “I bet there was no cure for the Black Death the whole time!”
With a gentle *poof*, the Devil appeared behind us. “A bet, you say?”

I want to see how Cuddlebeam feels about this before I vote.
