"Old Geezer"

"This old geezer has complained for ages about all the things that are wrong with the world, and how much better things would be if only he was God. Finally his fellow villagers have forced him to be a Pretender and try for Godhood. He isn't immortal, he isn't hard to kill, but it seems like he's everywhere - you can't get away from his complaining.

The Old Geezer has no innate magic, but is very versatile (all paths cost 200). If he actually had any magic, people would expect him to do something. However, his complaints are very strong, causing all near him to sicken and want to die."

Apparently NOW has gotten its toes into northern Europe, demanding equality for women and men, and insisting on a male equivalent of the Crone.

LMAO!

I think this may be the start of the "Forum regulars--- and their thematic IN GAME avatars!" thread Gandalf was worried about.

It's so perfect.

The way we avoid getting the thread killed... is simply by not assigning names to our suspect simulacra

Unfortunately most of them would be virtually unplayable, as they would have to start feebleminded for thematic reasons.

Cha! But it wasn't about the person you think it's about - it wasn't about anyone. And I can prove it wasn't about whom you thought. After all - then the Old Geezer would have been insisting that everything was perfect as they were.

yeah right. Good effort at a save.
Can I use my avatar as the pretender image? No wait, that just give me a big head (yes I know I just set myself up)

[Taqwus]

Hm, I think I'd fit better in Angband, where there's the WEIRD_MIND flag; in Dominions, a Demon Jester might be the best fit.

I'm hoping that in the next patch they'll add a copy command for modders! It would copy all creature (or weapon, spell, etc.) information into a new creature # so you could alter stuff without changing the original or doing it all by hand.
