Can someone please explain to me what the fuck is up with Wall Street or something? Just something quick to get me up to speed on what is up with all of these references in the ooc I'm seeing but not/barely in the ic.

And why would magicians join him? They have every reason to band together and betray him after all. And why is he the only one with a portal? Presumably it would be just as easy to make one to where Seham doesn't expect on the world. Also, Detroit could beat back hell.

It's a force that can exchange stuff based on monetary value. I think.

Everyone has their price. Besides, it's the Prisoner's Dilemma. Sure, if everyone banded against Seham they could possibly overthrow him, but A. they don't know each other, B. they can't trust that everyone else will join Seham, and C. the magicians are scattered thin enough over the world that banding together is simply impractical.
In theory, perhaps. But then, they could do that to him in Hell, and much more easily. No matter how you look at it, it's better than staying at home.
Ha ha.

Solution: Persuade someone from the Celestial Realm (i.e the gods) to intervene.

Also magi are rare. If people heard mages were being paid off then everyone would start witch hunts. And nothing can save a mage from crazy zealots. And that would ruin that part of the plan. And of course they probably have nukes so...

When Seham was planning his plan, no one from outside that world and maybe Hell would be involved; I don't imagine that either demons or people unaware of gods' existence would be too likely to call on them.
By the time everyone else got involved, Celestial Realm beings are hardly the worst thing he'd have to deal with.

Also magi are rare. If people heard mages were being paid off then everyone would start witch hunts. And nothing can save a mage from crazy zealots. And that would ruin that part of the plan. And of course they probably have nukes so...
1. Ever hear of a place called Salem? What the hell makes you think these witch hunts would actually kill the magic people more often then not? Or even have a 90% success rate? Besides, they're just hamstringing themselves if they can't use any magic either, so win-win.
2. Nuke their own cities. Right, that'll look good to everyone. And you say that like there's no way for magic (and Seham was pretty good with it) to protect against nukes.

If magic users are so rare they'll end up getting some at least. Also if they 're so rare then his plan shouldn't hinge on that.

And you say that'll look bad like this isn't what seems to be a world with little variation in it from the other one. If it is as it appears everyone and their mother would know about the demons invading. If not then nukes wouldn't be a problem.

And I doubt he would be able to make the roll well enough to stop it from ruining his plans.

1. I don't follow your logic.
2. It really doesn't. Mortal armies and a handful of demons are all he is relying on.

Regardless, defaulting to the nuclear solution is going to look bad unless they've already basically lost...and if they've already basically lost, there's no one center of power that they can nuke.

Seham. Unless he has insane magic he would not be able to prevent a nuke from ruining his plans. And I think nuking demons as soon as they invade a city makes loads of sense.

And if there was an army already that was near why couldn't they just kill the dozen demons they would have to fight? A demon isn't going to keep walking as well with a couple of clips in him.

He's a greater demon on par with Andras, Eligor, Belial, Asmodeus and that shit. Of course he has insane magic. Also, unless they push the godzilla threshold, there isn't a lot of reason to use a nuke on a city you want to live in afterwards.
