Generally I'd agree, but your pretender dying turn 1 when he's in the Hall of Fame is impossible to miss, so there's no point hiding it. (eg, me in Nox).

Highly unlikely to occur (to me) in this game given the remarkably different demands on pretender design for Eriu.

Edit: also, emphasizing your poor position is a diplomatic bargaining chip - and with graphs off one could potentially misrepresent how well they're doing for diplomatic reasons... (Not that I would ever be one to do such a thing...).

Hmmm.. now i need to develop a strategy which hinges on killing my pretender in the first 6 months for diplomatic leverage...
