I'm not in a hurry; we're bound to find a sucker replacement eventually.

So which one of you was #8, or do we have an interloper?

[Il Palazzo]

Me.

[Il Palazzo]

Work has sucked up most of my weekend. I'll look into it tonight. Sorry about that.

Off with his head!

[E. Albright]

Patience, patience. We need them to submit a body with a head first...

[E. Albright]

So, in the interests of not just starting promptly. but also of having players whose schedules can currently handle this micromanagement hell, the game will start at or around 0000 UTC tonight, be it with 8 players or be it with 9.

[USEC_OFFICER]

Probably with 9 players, seeing as I just sent my pretender in. Finally.

[E. Albright]

Arrrrrrrgh, all Unexpected Nations again...

[Shadowlord]

At least they appear to be in order.

[Il Palazzo]

The first mercenary is Ugrek. How fitting.

[Puzzlemaker]

Welp, did my first turn.  This is going to be interesting.  Bleh.

[AlStar]

I want to go in like 3 different directions, all at once.

Do I want to make my starting commander prophet? He sucks, but he's there.

Starting scout? No command ability, and I just know I'll have him 'sneak' into a province when I need him fighting at some point.

Elite commander? Can go amphibious. Can lead 80.

Flying commander? Flies! Can lead 120. Expensive.

Of course, the second two both require an extra turn and mean my research and expansion is that much further behind...

[Puzzlemaker]

AHAHAHAHA I SUCK SO MUCH AT THIS GAME

Yeah so I probably lost in the first turn, hahaha.  Wow.  Sent my pretender as part of my army against a province and she just... died...

Sooo yeah... I may just bow out now, or something.  I am an idiot.

Edit:  Would it be possible to re-do last turn?  That was gloriously stupid of me.

[Shadowlord]

Your priests can call her back, though, if you need her for something. That doesn't really seem like a good reason for a do-over to me.

P.S. Immortal pretenders who stay in their own dominion don't have that problem as long as you hold your capital.

[E. Albright]

I'm not really sympathetic regarding a decision to send a pretender out on turn 1 blind. There are some pretenders that I'd feel okay doing it with, but none of them are on the list of pretenders that I'd suspect Freakazoidette, Princess of Earthquakes, the Invincible and Ever-triumphant might be. In any case, if you send something out blind, you need to make peace with the idea of it immediately dying. It's a nice big gamble to jump-start your expansion... but it's a big gamble.

It's 50 priest-level-turns to recall a pretender. That's not nothing, but at this point it'll probably mostly end up being like she's imprisoned or sleeping and a half. You still have all the other resources of your nation (holy Hell, I hadn't really looked very closely at most of the other nations; your sacreds are vile abominations), and it's not like the rest of us are perforce in enviable circumstances. I can assure you I'm not.

The pretenders paths will also be reduced by 1 across the board, incase you had specific globals or anything in mind.
