Questions?

I'm afraid I don't understand at all, sorry.

1. Do you mean by "assassin" that my job will be to eliminate a specific opponent nation (either by out-preaching or by conquering all provinces)?
2. Is this correct: If my first choice was, say, Caelum, and I get "assigned" my first choice by the algorithm you mentioned in your first post, then my job will be to assassinate Caelum and I will do this by playing the nation which the Caelum player originally wanted to play?
I don't understand which race it is I will be playing and against whom.
3. To be honest, I can't remember at all which pretender designs I sent in; this was a very busy week. Does that matter?
4. If I know whom I am supposed to "assassinate", won't they know who it is that is supposed to assassinate them (because I will be playing the nation which they wanted)?

Thanks for clarifying, sorry if I am slow today

Heh. You know, somebody, somewhere, is laughing about this.....the guy who sent 17 FUBAR pretenders is going to be laughing when he winds up having to play none of them.

Are you really as untrusting and sceptical as you make yourself appear in your Posts or is this merely a witty and ironic masquerade for the good-natured philanthropic person you really are?

Sounds fun, I'm in.

I'll try to clarify a bit. Of cource, what i say might all be fubar, but I'll just take the chance

1. Do you mean by "assassin" that my job will be to eliminate a specific opponent nation (either by out-preaching or by conquering all provinces)?

correct, as far as i undrestand it

2. Is this correct: If my first choice was, say, Caelum, and I get "assigned" my first choice by the algorithm you mentioned in your first post, then my job will be to assassinate Caelum and I will do this by playing the nation which the Caelum player originally wanted to play?

...no
Let's say your first choise was caelum, and your victim's first choise was abysia. Your victim plays with the abysia that was created by you, and you will play with the caelum that was created by your assasin. Thus everyone knows everything about their victim and nothing about their assasin.

3. To be honest, I can't remember at all which pretender designs I sent in; this was a very busy week. Does that matter?

Well, knowing exactly the design of the guy you are supposed to take out would be very helpful, but it's not really mandatory

4. If I know whom I am supposed to "assassinate", won't they know who it is that is supposed to assassinate them (because I will be playing the nation which they wanted)?

No, because you will play the nation you wanted. Simply

Thanks for clarifying, sorry if I am slow today

Ah, thanks! How dim of me... Well, I *hope* that my victim has similar tastes as I do...!

[reverend]

Honestly. And here I thought I was paranoid...

I think you only need to get the pretender files you sent to NGF, copy all of the pretender files to the new pretender folder, and make a new game with 17 human players (or just your victim as human). This will make you able to see the design you chose.

[tinkthank]

Well I suppose I could try to dig my mail out of the "sent" folder, that should work -- thanks!

I had sort of hoped it wouldn't be a "You play someone else's build" game -- I don't dislike such games because I feel "cheated", but I can't imagine me feeling "chez moi" in someone else's design. But ah well -- should still be very interesting!
look forward to receiving a turn soon...!
