“Opium leads to neglect and moral decay. Its use is forbidden.”
St. Mxolisi, December 2080

Conviction's wiki was designed and written by the pre-game GMs

• Andrew K.-R.
• M. Vlad
• Paddy C.

The content of the wiki is released under the CC BY 4.0 licence. Images may have separate authors and licences, which can be found in the wiki's media manager.

Much of the wording of the OC pages was adapted or entirely stolen from previous society games, which in turn took some of it from games before them. The main direct sources for this were

• Work In Progress
• Brainwave

Like any creative project, Conviction takes many of its ideas from other fiction. Some notable examples are

• Hell Is the Absence of God (short story by Ted Chiang)
• Unsong (novel by Scott Alexander)
• Brazil (movie)
• Das Leben der Anderen (movie)
• Pathologic (video game)
• Andrei Rublev (movie)
• The Americans (tv series)
