Oh hey, the game's started!

So for pretenders we've got:
Ermor: Lichinca, Princess of Heavenly Fires, Goddess of Astral Fires, Princess of Clouds, Lady of Flames, Queen of the Crafts
Jomon: Not a Ninja, the God above All, King of Many Names, Symbol of Unchallenged Victory, the Unforgiving King, Patron of Soldiers, the Teacher of Philosophy
Abysia: Global Warming, Goddess of Pain, Goddess of Suffering, the Unforgiving Princess, Seducer of Life, the Raging Princess, the One Always at the Shoulder
Pangaea: Skull Kid, Goddess of Birth, Queen of Untimely Death, the One Always at the Shoulder
Midgård: Man's New Best Friend, Patron of Soldiers, the Stealer of Corpses, Queen of Eloquence
Utgård: Fluffie, God of Primordial Waters, First Born of Gaia, Lord of Fear and Trembling, God of the Forest, the Hidden One
Gath: Booze, Prince of Majesty, the Undeceivable God, Lord of Animals, God of Strength, Lord of Nature
Atlantis: Hummerjuden, Lord of Frost, the Earth Monster, Prince of the Ocean Underneath, Symbol of Unchallenged Victory
R'lyeh: Enchanted Broccoli, the Far Traveler, Lord of Stellar Lights, the Afterthought, Symbol of Unchallenged Victory

Some neat new titles I haven't seen before. I mean, my pretender is obviously the best, but some other ones have their moments, especially Fluffie. But my pretender is the best because it has six titles and the only other pretender with six titles has only generic and boring titles. Incidentally, your number of titles is tied to your dominion score! So me and Jomon have Awe on our pretenders, who are probably awake for early expansion. Anyway, guesses:
Ermor: Lich Queen
Jomon: Wyrm or Manticore
Midgård: Bitch Queen

I won't put much effort into pretender guesses this time, probably.

R'lyeh probably has a Void Lurker since it kind of looks like a piece of Broccoli. Plus late age R'lyeh doesn't have that many chasis to choose from.

EDIT: Oh and if it wasn't already obvious from the blood magic, the high dominion makes it a sure bet that Global Warming is a Vampire Queen. Immortals need the dominion spread to increase the area that they're immortal in.

Considering that Gath has 44 pretender chassis, that would probably be a good idea.

Anyone can find out whats mine with some minor knowledge of germanic languages :P

Going to send my pretender when I get home. By the way, one of LA Atlantis's national summons has a bug in the Forbidden Friendship version I'm using, but I fixed it by downloading the latest one (2.1a). Turns out the terichik's file was a png rather then a tga in CBM_Sprites, so if I get to summon it and your game crashes due to that, I'll upload the tga so you guys can fix it as well (or you can just redownload forbidden friendship from here).

Hm, I ran a test game with that, and Jomon got a bog beast with items and elementals.

I can tell you that if you eat a rich adventurer the indigestion can give you a bog beast with many items.

That would explain all those whisps of wind following the bog beast around.  :o

Haha, really? Lemme count.... Hey yeah, you're right. Still, we can narrow it down a bit. You've got fairly high dominion and nature magic. I'm pretty sure the "God of Strength" title require earth magic, so there's that too. So the possibilities I have in mind are:
Monolith
Lord of Fertility
Great White Bull
Lord of Rebirth
Mother of Serpents
Dragon(Green)
Master Druid

I have no idea what your actual strategy is, so I have no idea which of those you're going to pick, but I guess we'll see. If I had to guess which one it was, I'd go with the Lord of Fertility because I bet his cornucopia is full of booze.

So then, who won THE BEST PRETENDER NAME CONTEST? Global Warming is pretty clever, but I do like a couple of the others as well.

I suppose we'll have to have a prophet name contest too in the next few turns (hurry with that first one already :P).

I just remembered that I failed to rename my prophet before prophetizing him...

EDIT: Fixed that.  Now my prophet has an awesome name.

Considering that Gath has 44 pretender chassis, that would probably be a good idea.

I'm afraid I can neither confirm nor deny your suspicions regarding my Pretender, primarily because I already forgot which pretender chassis I chose.   :P
