Fed up with thier constant bickering the Pancreator has ejected all the Titans from the heavens and placed before them a task. To redeem themselves, and be proven worthy in the eyes of thier lord, they must defeat three of thier brethren in the mortal realm. Upon completion of this task, the victorious Titan will ascend to heaven and rule forever at the right hand of the Pancreator. May the greatest Titan win!

I'll give Caelum a try in this one

[Wish]

do cyclops count?

wait, they're only size 5... guess not

what about the shedu and the allfather? They are the right size, but lack the bipedal part?

Umm - "defeating 3" - that seems a little ambiguous. Killing 3 pretenders? Or destroying three nations? Or strictly a VP win (which 6 VPs doesn't seem to match defeating 3 - defeating 2, if capitols are 2 VPs each, or defeating 5, if VPs are 1).

Sounds kinda fun, but I'd like a little more clarity on the winning.

The statement is ambiguous but I thought the victory condition would clarify it. My thought was that there would be 20 VPs: 10 capitals and 10 in the field. The assumption was then that each player gets a VP at thier cap and would grab 1 in the field and fortify it, meaning that in order to win you would have to defeat 3 other players to get enough VPs to win.

Actually, my numbers are wrong, it should be 8VPs (2 of your own and then 6 "enemy" VPs). But thats a bit on the high side. Lets just set the victory condition at 7VPs and leave it at that

[KissBlade]

Sign me as Tien Chi

[Jurri]

Sounds fun! I'd like Pangaea.

[Cainehill]

Oh - I do want in. Bipedal mobile Size 6 humanoids - does that include shapeshifting pretenders with one form that matches those requirements?

Edit : Youch! Titans only, that really narrows things down for some nations, sheesh!

[Folket]

I want in on Arcosephale.
