Cherry Coke is a foul beverage

Hey, we use only 100% natural virgin's blood in our brewing process!

[tompliss]

I may not have a joke name, but that's because i'm no joke. I mean, look at my last title... I'm The Awesome ! ._.

now, I'm trying to guess what are the pretenders from their titles... Because mines are the simplest :I

5 players left to finish the turn

[Delta Foxtrot]

For posterity and convinience, here's everyone's titles:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Pythium worships the pretender Boulder, Lord of the Greater Earth, Master of the Waves, The Awesome

Man worships the pretender Man's Man, Devourer of Sins, God of Fires of the Earth, Prince of the Harvest

Mictlan worships the pretender Cherry Coke, the Burning Soul, He who Mounts the Clouds, the Carpenter of the Insides

Jomon worships the pretender Eastern Enigma, the Most High, He who Is at the Center, the Enemy of Both Sides

Abysia worships the pretender Rzionr Nrzfm, Lord of Men's Fates, Master of Might, Master of the Soil, Patron of Smiths

Caelum worships the pretender Superb Owl, the Armorer, the Afterthought, Prince of the Winds

Pangaea worships the pretender Seles, Queen of Majesty, Lady of Growth, the Peacemaker, Patron of Merchants

Midgård worships the pretender the Divine Sauce, Lord of Fear and Trembling, August Master, Tower of Strength, God of Silence

Bogarus worships the pretender Red October, Tamer of Demons, Drinker of Blood, the Compassionate, the Unforgiving Lord, Bestower of Good Gifts

Patala worships the pretender Rumia, Queen of Forgiving, Mistress of Earthquakes, Princess of Desire and Grace, Patron of Soldiers

I'd say it suits me to be the enemy of "both" if I'm He who Is at the Center. Which is true since this is wraparound. Oh my, surrounded by you all. And below are my comments based on everyone's titles, poorly drawn out guesses ahoy!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Pythium: water+earth bless? It could help those lizard cataphracts I guess.

Man: I'd say... Tiwaz of war? It has earth and fire, I think. And it just plain looks awesome. Don't know where you get devourer of sins though, death? Tiwaz doesn't have that.

Mictlan: Carpenter of the Insides sounds nasty. But I don't know. He's going to kill everyone anyway. Fire/Air/Blood bless?

Jomon: I don't actually know to what paths/scales those first two titles refer to. I have hunch at the third.

Abysia: Is Patron of Smiths a production or earth title? Sounds like heavy growth/production build. Makes sense given Abysian troops. Lord of Men's Fates sounds like an astral thing. High astral and crazy scales on an imprisoned oracle?

Caelum: I don't know, I guess he has air? Thematic if nothing else. I guess my lack of commentary suits his title of Afterthought.

Pangaea: Sounds like heavy scales. I guess we won't be seeing any high bless play then. I did some testing with pangaean sacreds and they're pretty beastly in any age so I guess that's lucky.

Midgård: Pretty imposing titles, that's all I can say.

Bogarus: So heavy blood and luck scales? It'd be fun if everyone's not O3. Also you're compassionate yet unforgiving? I guess it fits Bogarus to be all over the place.

Patala: High earth to get those naked 1r nagas some armour and then reinvigoration for thugs later on? Also classy titles.

While the Central Committee recognises that the enemies of the Revolution are not so because of simple malice or hatred, that their position is that of ignorance, the Revolution is imperative. We are not without sorrow as we deliver death. Injustice is relatively easy to bear, what stings is justice!

Abysia worships the pretender Rzionr Nrzfm, Lord of Men's Fates, Master of Might, Master of the Soil, Patron of Smiths

Couldn't the last title refer to the Neter of Crafts ?

And I love Midgård's "August Master"

Great news everyone! I just got word back from llama:

It seems that the server somehow got itself in a twist over your password. It shouldn't have accepted a password with a space in it, but it seems that maybe it did. Anyway it's fixed now, and the admin password is just "password".

I'm under the impression that only the gender of your pretender affects the titles. ie. (s)he who is at the center etc.. Presumably the rest come from you paths and scales. I'd really like if someone smarter than me can tell whether this is true or not. But yeah, Midgård definitely has the coolest titles, followed by Patala.

Due to nature of the game Culise might very well be at work or a sleep. Maybe even in the middle of doing one after the other. That's the good and bad thing about PBEM, not everyone's at it at the same time.

[Boksi]

I really don't know why I've got that title, Queen of Forgiving. Patron of Soldiers is kind of lame too. Usually that particular build got names like Earth Mother, Vessel of Might, Lady of Pain, the Invincible and Ever-Triumphant.

[Culise]

Asleep; sorry.  I tend to have very skewed sleep schedules on the weekend, then transition to a regular sleep schedule on weekdays.  Also, sorry for a boring name; I kinda blanked.  I'll run off the turn right quick.

Tee hee.  Pangaea's only LA sacreds are also capital-only and some of the most expensive in the LA.  It's not going to be nearly as scary as Jaguar Warrior spam. ^_^

EDIT: And sent.  And processed. ^_^

Let's see, from glancing over the charts...
1. Provinces: No one made a blind assault.  Odds of an awake SC pretender are probably a little lower, I think, then. 
2. Incomes: Bogarus and Midgard are definitely scale-heavy and income-focused.  Abyssia and Caelum are also rather high; Man and Pangaea comparable; and the rest probably focused on bless paths. 
3. Research: Patala and Man take an early lead, strongly suggesting awake pretenders. 

[tompliss]

So... Aren't we supposed to receive the new .trn file by mail ?
[EDIT] Well, I knew I would receive the mail when writing this ...

[Culise]

Ummm, yes.  Should have the header "New turn file: Bay12GamesRound402, #### turn 2," where your country name is given.  Did it get caught in a spam filter or the like? 

[Delta Foxtrot]

re: LA pan sacreds
For all I know they might very well fizzle by midgame. But they don't need numbers to eat most indies early on.
Man might still have an awake Tiwaz, I wouldn't throw him blindly at anything.

With our skill level it will be interesting to see turn#3 charts for province and army count.
There's nothing overtly tough around me this time around but boasting anything at this point only invites misfortune.

Thrones seemed generally alright, only one death and few misfortune scales amidst them all.

[USEC_OFFICER]

Guess who has two thumbs and forgot to make a prophet? *facepalm* Hopefully this isn't too bad of a mistake.

[Delta Foxtrot]

Prophet by his very existence causes an extra temple check(=spreads dominion) where ever he is. Having him around helps you get those expensive scales up so that they can start paying for themselves. Also in battles he can cast smite, a long range single target spell. It's not much but it's something. They're also free of upkeep but that's hardly of any relevance.

Btw, if Karlito or someone wants to be a backup/co-admin I could send you the password. Just in case I get hit by a car or my extended circle of acquaintances all lose their internet connection.

[Bluerobin]

One turn of missing a prophet won't hurt too much, unless you actually need him to bless or are going to use him to start taking provinces.

[Karlito]

Or were going to fly him to my Capital to stealth preach.
