Today on Evaludate:  Anastasia finally gets the point of view back, but her other love interests are still doing Lucien promo; we just don't have time to address the interpersonal ramifications of time loops in our time loop game; and if you're The Devil you have to tell me.

Today on Evaludate, we wish we could forget about all this murder-witch nonsense and play a game of HORSE with our best friend Zenn, Lucien can't be the cool one for two seconds, and Madelyn fails to frame Crius for murder.

The subject of capital punishment/the death penalty comes up in this episode. In light of recent tragic events, we feel it's necessary to warn listeners that while the event doesn't come up in the episode (this was recorded prior), the subject of capital punishment is discussed.

• Suicide: 19:26 - 20:02, 36:24 - 36:42, 45:55 - 46:27

Today on Evaludate, Air and Madelyn start the indisputable Best Route In The Game (<- Objective Fact), very suddenly learn important info about Zenn from an unlikely source, and are probably too amped about homicide for a podcast that signs off with "don't date murderboys". Also: love is real.

Today on Evaludate: Madelyn's opinion on Tyril completes its 360-degree rotation, the game gets a little bit Hayes Code-y, and the religious world-building needs a little work.

On today's TWO HOUR EVALUDATE SPECIAL, we're getting into the real-world history of witch hunting and witch trials around Europe and North America, Madelyn insists that everyone else insisting that she would like Tyril is still wrong, and being a murder suspect is boring now--it's time to get deputized.

Corrections, Notes, and Sources: 

Air misspoke when saying Pope John XXII’s declaration of witchcraft as heresy in 1320 took the form of a papal bull. Though the pope eventually described witchcraft and announced that anyone who engaged with it would be excommunicated in his 1336 papal bull Super illius specula, his initial 1320 judgment was outlined in Cardinal William of Santa Sabina’s “Letter of 22 August 1320, to Inquisitors of Carcassone and Toulouse”

In the episode, Air stated that Matthew Hopkins charged around £20 per town, in reference to how much he was reported to have charged the town of Stowmarket in A.G. Hollingsworth’s History of Stowmarket (1844). According to the records, he charged £23 plus traveling expenses. Hopkins himself, however,  stated that he only took “twenty shillings a town” (A History of Witchcraft In England from 1558 to 1718)
