How does the three-line Lost Souls card work in a multi-player game? I think it would be as follows:

Player 1 rescues for his first time - he is halfway there.
Player 2 rescues for his first time - he is also halfway there.
Player 1 rescues for the second time - now he wins the double lost soul.

Is that right, or does the sequence get reset at some point?

Though in the case of the two-liner, player two would make the second rescue, and both 1 and 2 would get a redeemed soul.

Actually, I think this guy is on to something. According to the REG, the definition of rescued is if it's in the Land of Redemption.

Rescue
This action frees a Lost Soul being held prisoner in theLand of Bondage. A Lost Soul becomes rescued when it is placed in the Land of Redemption. All rescued Lost Souls are taken to the Land of Redemption.

If this is the case, I think I would agree with him.

However, this will not count to your total, since no player rescued it twice. It just sits in your territory.

Incorrect. The 2 Liner is considered to be in both Lands of Redemption even though there is just one physical card. Remember, this is a card game...not a scientific experiment. 

The three liner's wording simply needs to be altered.

"In order to rescue the 3 liner, 2 successful rescues must be completed with the 3 liner as the target for rescue. After the 3 liner is succesfully targeted for rescue the second time, the 3 liner goes to the successful player's land of redemption and counts as 2 lost souls rescued."


Or something.

But it doesn't count as a Redeemed Soul because neither player rescued it twice...?

Two liner says that it has to be rescued twice. It was rescued twice. Once by one player, once by another.

Right, so it's split between the two and doesn't count towards the total Redeemed Souls? That's what I said earlier, and Guardian said I was wrong...

That is correct. Both of you rescued it once, it has been rescued twice, it can now go into land of redemption. You have to split it though, thus you both get one.

So it does count towards the Redeemed Soul total? As in, if I have 4 Redeemed Souls and it's been rescued once by my opponent and I rescue it, I win the game?
