Mad multiplayer idea

It might also be possible to create a program which randomly creates pretenders. We would end up playing what would basically be an AI setup.

I've actually given some thought to the 'design the worst pretender and hand it to someone else' game idea in the past, but as people say, it can very easily get boring and all the same.

On the other hand, playing a game full of AI-like pretenders sounds pretty interesting...

How does one bypass the password problem? Wouldn't each player know at least two pass words?

Well Im sure that the pretenders would be new builds so hopefully no one would use their favorite password. But yes they would still know their own pretenders password. I havent seen alot of abuse on such things yet.

I dont see this as a game that would be done OFTEN by the same people, but it might be a fun change. It might be fun if the devs actually added a "random" button on the god build. They do in a way since they give you an initial random (I think it is) choice. Ive played some test games by just hitting ok, ok, ok letting it pick the god and name. But unfortunetly it doesnt choose any scales or anything.

You could simply write down the pretender design and have a third party implement it.
