		It's exactly for the reason of renaming things like random picks- some players do, others don't, it's a pretty large hint. 
Also, every time someone renames a mage to his random picks, it makes KO cry.

		This is why the game needs a private 'notes' field where we can scribble what we like while keeping it secret from others.  Like that will ever happen.     
Why does this make KO cry?  If it makes him cry, he should add in a feature to display a mage's random picks more prominently.

		I usually don't rename mine, for thematic reasons, but sometimes I will rename a particularly good random pick mage, so I don't lose track of him. I don't go all the way on the name though, I'll just do HorzaN4, or something like that. 
 
There. Now you know my naming style. Good thing we are not renaming.

		I just give em a gem for marking purposes. No way I'm letting someone else see what paths I have without a battle.

		Actually, Micah, it would take a battle for the enemy to know your mages names, would it not? And then they know all about them anyway.

		Sorry to hear that Coobe.  Perhaps, Zensai will take your slot.

		Ok.  Zensei has agreed to take Coobe's place.  I will give him a little time to submit a pretender.   Hopefully, we can start on Friday night.
