Well, thing is, It's probably a matter of not having enough fully trained
green robes to spare. Think about it. He's got doombringers roaming the
west, ready to nuke anything in purple first and ask questions later...what
happens when a doombringer runs across a greenie wearing purple? Would they
actually believe "Wait, wait, I'm on your--" It's pretty easy to coordinate
fake attacks on ONE setup like the kid. But the greenie missionaries are
probably told not to wear purple in order to keep them from getting jumped
by their own team.
