Abstract

You know the story. In a certain cave in the fictional territory of Ilmorg, there is a competition organised by Satan to choose the seven cleverest thieves and robbers. That is those who steal from the people, not in terms of a few dollars for food, but literally in terms of billions of dollars for the sheer pleasure of accumulation. What each of the thieves has to do is perform stories of his career of theft and robbery before the fictional audience.1
