Best Roleplay nation

[Foodstamp]

No. The pretender is totally distinct from the nation. Sure, the pretender just wants to kill all the other wannabe gods and send them to tartarus. But that has nothing to do with what the *nation* wants. Roleplaying a pretender chassis is totally different than roleplaying a nation.

I agree with the above.

Now, the nation ends up worshipping the pretender gods. But why? How? Of course, there are many possible answers, but all of these are going to have nuances based on the people in charge. And since I don't know how an EK thinks, because its totally incomprehensible to mortals, I can't figure out why they follow a pretender god.

We may not know how an Eagle King thinks, or a wizard for that matter, but it is fun to take a stab at it. By your line of reasoning, we would be regulated to role playing militia.

Now that would be interesting, an AAR from the viewpoint of a lowly militia. I think it would be awesome but getting a militia to survive in-game to the end would be an effort. Maybe beeline to GoR and then make the militia a prophet for hit-point bonus and then add items to increase survivability.

"Our giant masters have plunged the whole world into winter, is there no limit to their power?"

or

"Today an abomination was summoned into this world to fight for my master. As tall as an elephant with only one eye and reeking of decay, they wielded in battle lightening from the heavens themselves."

That has actually been done before, a few times. In the Yarnspinners games, for examples, and their successors, the Chronicles games, where even KO was participating in. They're on the Wiki:

Regarding the "AAR from the viewpoint of a lowly militia", you'll probably have fun reading Caelum's story, featuring Eagle Kings, no less. The others are quite good as well.

I especially liked Machaka's story, it's a pity that it never continued. A pity in general that there have been so few updates, too, though some people were really proficient at writing and it's a lot of work to play and give a creative rendition of it, of course.
