[QUOTE="kenjib, post: 413263, member: 530"] These demons don't exist in a vacuum. They don't need to tell each other that they are allied or not. They know just from reputation, like in high school you know that someone is in the drama club or a member of the football team. Actions speak louder than words and are harder to fake. Besides, if Suzy goes around lying to everyone about being protected by Gra'azt, do you think that there won't be repercussions from Gra'azt's followers for that? This succubus is going to have a rep, and Gra'azt's folks are going to make her hurt if she says she's with him but isn't. Maybe if their feeling gracious they'll just let her perform some errands for them. Uh oh, now she's not lying anymore, she DOES work for Gra'azt. :) The weak accept being exploited in order to be protected. The strong protect the weak because they are useful servants as opposed to enemies. Winning does not equal becoming the biggest and most powerful thing ever in the history of the world. For demons, winning just means surviving, and possibly becoming a little more powerful when the opportunity presents itself. It seems like you present an all-or-nothing situation here when there is plenty of middle ground. [/QUOTE]
