 My Manticore pretender was Devourer of Apples in one game. |

				 Re: Favorite Pretender Names 
 Yes, but wasn't that because Gandalf had a pretender named Apples? So, intimidating to *someone*.

				 Re: Favorite Pretender Names 
 Fountain of Beer seemed very interesting to me.How about favorite pretenders? I think I take the oracle at least half the games.

So, intimidating to *someone*. |  I think it was a blitz game on the IRC channel, and I don't think Gandalf played in it. It's been quite some time and I can't remember the details, so I'm not sure where I got the inspiration for that. 
 
Heh, I just remembered that when I played few of those blitz games, I consumed ridiculous amounts of tea (with extra sugar) to be able to play with the people 10 timezones away. I think it was all the extra sugar that made me come up with the silly names.  
Besides Devourer of Apples the Manticore and Lord of the Seven Teas the Heavenly General, I had a R'lyeh pretender with checkboxes and triangles in its name... I got them by writing ÿ, û, õ, ì and other accented vocals. Sometimes I got nothing, sometimes symbols like the up/down adjustment keys used in tax and PD screens. |

				 Re: Favorite Pretender Names 
 I got a Wyrm for R'lyeh once who got the title 'The Hunger without Thought' I liked it.   
And Ich, I didn't mean to thank you for the previous post, but did so accidentally.  You may consider it my thanks for some previous insightful post you made I forgot to thank.    |

				 Re: Favorite Pretender Names 
 There is an option to remove a Thanks from a thanked post, too, but I'm bursting with confidence now, so that wouldn't be nice. |
