I thought Ulm had lost the power of METAL in the late age.

[Boksi]

You know, if the previous game had gone on a little longer, I would have summoned a Kinnara and made it my new prophet after SKULLCRUSHER THE FELL AND TERRIBLE caught a fatal case of retardity. And I would have named that Kinnara Boney M. And if I had gotten a Rudra, I would've named it Disco Inferno.

And of course, there's the demons from Lanka to consider too. I would've named them after punk bands, artists and songs, since disco and punk were the two competing styles back then.

And you know, I'm still playing Patala. So I'm calling dibs on punk and disco names.

But gained a taste for virginal blood and evil gods, making it even moar kvlt

[Boksi]

Hah, I forgot to check people's pretenders last turn. Simmura the Afterthought I didn't even know that was a possible title.

I'm just going to post some thoughts on the various pretender titles:

Man: Titles imply nature and astral magic. Simmura is female.
Ulm: Titles imply blood magic.
Mictlan: Titles imply fire and blood magic. Or maybe death.
Midgård: Title implies water magic. Name implies dormancy/imprisonment, and indeed their dominion is lower than anybody save Mictlan.
Patala: Titles imply astral and blood magic. Dagmar Önnur is female. Research graph implies rainbow magery.
R'lyeh: Titles imply earth and water magic. Research graph implies rainbow magery.

[Karlito]

Additionally the lack of research from anyone but Patala and R'lyeh hints that they're the only ones with an awake pretender. I suppose Man or Ulm could simply not have had their Pretender research this turn, either through negligence or to play mind games with me, but that seems a little unlikely. Man only has six pretender chassis that are female, three human spellcasters, two titans, and the Great Mother. Two of those have stealth and glamour, which would be unpleasant. I believe they can take Drain 3 with almost no penalty, so maybe their god is dormant to get extra points for scales. It would be hard, but doable with those points to put astral magic on one of the nonhumanoids, but when you consider that one would also want some points in death for the national summons, it's probably one of the human chassis. It's not unheard of to have a dormant rainbow mage, or maybe she has higher paths to give a bless to the wardens.

Obviously, this is a whole lot more speculative than what Boksi posted, and since Simmura is new he might have done something weird.

If we end up doing round eight this year, we could use this pretty map

I have no idea what I'm doing!

I have no idea what I'm doing!

I suspect that's true to some degree for all of us, so you'll do alright.

[Boksi]

I'm not sure about the viability of this game, suddenly. I mean, I don't mind failing to capture a province. That's entirely my fault, you know. But look at this:

My fort is in the same position as last time, but now I share my cap circle with R'lyeh's cap circle.Whichever one of us gets Ultima Delca is one turn away from the other's capital.

[Karlito]

The most interesting thing about that picture is learning that river doesn't provide underwater access. And a thought: posting that image certainly isn't in your best interests.

[Lorak]

Boksi, you're not the only one that is two provinces away from R'lyeh.

[Bluerobin]

That was my situation last game Boksi. Gotta keep your dominion up or all of your troops will go insane!

[TempAcc]

Crap, forgot to rename my prophet properly before turning him into one :C

[Lorak]

I hate to ask for an extension already, but I am currently not home and I'm not sure if I will be home in time to do my turn, so I would like to request a 12 hour extension just to make sure.
