new turn is up

It has been brought to my attention that Mictlan is using an illegal pretender: The Smoking Mirror. We agreed in the thread (on page 2-3 for me) that shape-changing pretenders were not acceptable because they were a little too tough and only available to a handful of nations.

In retrospect, I realize that I did not officially post this decision in the top post of the thread. So I can see how it could have been overlooked. But still it does give Mict's pretender a slight advantage over others in the game.

ahh, balance it by engendering hatred against him

- though i would say it is a significant advantage...

i'm also a bit concerned about whether the jots are using the skratti... just because their god seems to be so good at killing

all i know is ermors is an 'insert classified species nam here' and that i had a chance to attack him, unguarded with my pretender and 2 hudras but chose not to

Jotuns are not nearly as good at killing as Pangaea's druid. Have you seen him in action? Very impressive.

on the subject of the smoking mirror, I think its to late to restart, and in all honesty I am not to bothered by it, though I imagine mictlan's neighbors are a little more troubled.

Who you calling a Skratti?

The rules said "1) All pretenders were once human servants of the Old Ones and therefore must be mortal humans (tho they can be mounted). "
My pretender is a human mortal as specified by this rule. Of course I wasn't aware of the discussion saying otherwise. I think it's common that game rules are posted and updated in the first post.

Anyway, How do you guys wish to proceed? I am not interested in having "unfair" advantage. Since the game is early I don't mind resigning.

ehh, it was a mutual error. I don't mind; resignation is surely too drastic.

I figure if someone can have the Freak Lord, some shapeshifting guy shouldn't be that different. Don't resign! This is a fun game. I'm a neighbor and don't see any problem...
