Yes, though I like Atul's suggestion of him scrying into the future, this version is more dramatic (if not oddly familiar):

Mysterio, the only man who can withstand the gaze of a gorgon, happening upon the mortally wounded Mysteria who lay dying on the battlefield after the defeat of her veteran pretender god allies, vows to avenge her defeat and restore her to life. Using arcane magicks, Mysterio travels back into time to detroy the ancestors of the noob pretender gods and their armies to ensure that they will never be born and thereby prevent the death of his beloved consort Mysteria.

No that wasn't my take. Not enough greek tragedy "I'm your father" stuff in scrying.

But, what's your nation pick, Sept?

I see he's just now put a question mark down for his nation pick, so I guess even he doesn't know!

Edit my last post: Actually, consort(husband)/half-brother of Mysteria is what I was aiming at. I'll change it.

If you or Lingchih can come up with a better paragraph soon we will use that (assuming you both agree) :)

Hey, that's really good Sept. I like the backstory. It fits very well.

Now make your damn nation pick. And let's get this thing rolling. I am dying to kill you all.

You needn't wait for me to upload your pretender my son.

I'll go with Ermor, don't see anything else I like.

So what nations did you expect us to take?

Let's get it started. All pretenders should be in by Monday. It's the weekend folks, what else do you have to do?

Neifelheim pretender is in.

We all had slightly different takes, but the consensus was that you would pick these:

Abysia
Formoria
Agartha
Mictlan
Sauro
Ulm
Van
Yomi

And then each of us in particular thought you would additionally, pick these:

Ironhawk: Tien Chi, Tir Na Nog
TheDemon: Tien Chi, Arco
Quantum: Lanka, Tir Na Nog

So, looking at what you did end up picking we had about a 70% accuracy rate.
