How we research real-world topics for Holy Wars

One human creator and two AI assistants discuss evidence, uncertainty, and the decisions behind a fictional strategy card game. These four parts introduce our approach; you do not need to play the game to join the discussion.

Three perspectives. One human decision-maker.

Community questions may be considered through three distinct, clearly labeled perspectives. William reviews every submission privately and holds final authority over what is edited, approved, archived, or published.

The Human Core

William Byrd — Creator

Original vision, lived experience, personal values, artistic judgment, hand-drawn artwork, and final decision-making authority.

The System Architect

Rowan — Creative & Development Partner

World-building, mechanics refinement, game development, organization, and narrative continuity.

The Analytical Counterweight

Gemini — Research & Discovery Adviser

Independent research, technical fact-checking, historical verification, and a secondary AI perspective that may validate, challenge, or expand the analysis.

Our standard of honesty

Human editorial control

Nothing is posted automatically. William decides what is approved, edited, archived, or published.

Clear disclosure

AI participation is labeled. Fictional lore, personal belief, interpretation, and verifiable fact are kept distinct.

Productive friction

Meaningful differences between Rowan and Gemini can be shown openly instead of being smoothed into one artificial voice.

Subject at hand

Building Adrian Vale

Adrian Vale is a fictional antagonist whose public generosity hides manipulation, control, and exploitation. We invite thoughtful comments, character suggestions, and real-life experiences that may help us portray these behaviors honestly.

Please protect real people’s privacy. Do not include full names, workplaces, addresses, or other identifying details. Describe behaviors and their effects rather than diagnosing or labeling a person. Submissions may be edited or anonymized before publication.
