New Anonymous Steel

Every Kingdom is on the table right now. Agree with your overall assessment, although some of the slow-movers could compensate with higher-level wizards and the 751 spell, which I don't believe is banned as of right now.

This sounds like a cool idea and if I had an open slot I would be interested. 

w/o HP's it will be very difficult to retrieve the quest type artifacts.

Under this format, would the Ranger still automatically get the location of the Sword of Alvinitar on his turn 0 kingdom report? Or more importantly, the location of the Oracle of the Old Gods? The Oracle alone would dominate the game for the Ranger while everyone else is wondering about aimlessly. The Dwarf gets the location of the Axe of Farin with his turn 0 report but that's minor compared to what the Ranger gets

I think JF is saying no need to eliminate the AN as a Kingdom, just make sure they're aware that all of the AN Consul HP orders are off-limits for this game.

More than 40 turns is totally cool if that's allowed, that's why I asked.

So far we're 2-0 in favor of the Pagan variant for this game.

1) HeadHoncho
2) Bash Grimtooth
3) Harry O
4) Diamond Cutter
5) Morgan Kane
6) ColdSpell
7) JumpingFist
8) Jhereg
9) Beatific

I shall join if game is both anonymous and pagan.

It is also Rex only, correct?

We shall select our kingdoms at the conclusion of having 12 players sign-up, correct?

[Lord Thanatos]

Are Giants and Dragons in the game? They have fast armies. AN is a slow movers so if they couldn't use their Consuls they would be hurt. Other slow movers would also be hurt with out priestesses. Just asking before I vote?

Harry O

The goal would be to see how the game affects all the kingdoms without any High Priestesses.

Good catch RE Oracle of the Old Gods.  But it hasn't been included in games yet, so that won't be a problem.  If it was already in the game, it would have to be removed in a Pagan game. 

I am a bit concerned about the "wandering about aimlessly" aspect for artifacts, but players asked about it, so here they can choose or choose no.

BTW, on the HP, major changes to the model, but not likely in current 2nd Cycle.  Uncle Mike might test the next model in his next experimental game.

Yes to pagan

Per Ry Vor, the game is SVC-eligible; not Rex

Then the game won't go 40 turns with SVC.

I would agree to pagan to see if it is viable. My only concern is finding artifacts without a HP.
