Circumstances describe your situation.
Examples include enemies, wealth, notoriety, social status, contacts, fame, and imprisonment.
Because each Playgroup has its own setting, Circumstances record the Playgroup they were acquired in.
Conditions describe your state of being.
Examples of Conditions include curses, diseases, and impactful personality quirks.
Conditions are granted by Assets and Liabilities or by GMs based on the events of Contracts and Downtime activities like Moves, and Loose Ends.
Because Conditions may have GM-created systems, they also record the Playgroup they were acquired in.
Loose Ends will cause problems for you if you don't tie them up.
Examples of Loose Ends include enemies, debts, evidence, and promises.
All Loose Ends have a Cutoff that counts down each time you attend a Contract. When it hits zero, the Threat of your Loose End manifests, causing issues for your Contractor.
You cannot see the current values of your Loose Ends' Cutoffs, but you can take initiative and make Moves on your Downtimes to deal with them before time runs out.

Charles Hubbard has spent his whole life preparing for the Stock trade. He vigilantly pursued guides, watched celebrities and politicians, analyzed portfolios and patterns... It was in his late twenties, as he spent another sleepless night pursuing his dreams that he came to the correct conclusion of it all. The numbers meant nothing. They can go up. They can go down. It is all a great fiction. A dance. Pretend.
It was all controlled by a greater force. The Media would tell The People if The Product was good or bad. The Politicians would invest before The Rise would begin. The Famous would converge and milk the cow for all it was worth. If you wanted to win in stocks, it didn't matter how smart or prepared you were! You needed, instead, to have an IN.
You needed puppets who would buy, thoughtlessly. You needed 'friends' who you could learn from. People were the real force of stock. Speculation, imagination, word of mouth: THAT was all that mattered... So he would get it all, and win BIG.
