I don’t know how the fourth question worked, but I picked “Find your enemy’s weakest point; fake your own.” for all three tries. \*\*

I picked islands/mead/steak, actually, and the “Find your enemy’s weakest point” as well.

I was trying for Loki on a tropical vacation, I guess. 😃

The first time I got Set and then I went back and answered the ones I was up in the air about and got Poseidon.

Set, even when I changed a couple of answers I was in two minds about.

I got the same as the OP. Hades first. (Then Odin and Set for the other two pantheons).

Congratulations!!! You are a proud member of the Norse Pantheon. Siding with the Norse puts you in the realm of the honor-bound, valiant warrior gods who are only strengthened by adversity. Never say die! Too much vision can lead to depression, but even though you and your fellow gods know your world is eventually doomed, your goal is to build your empires, fight your enemies and party with the greatest gusto you can muster up until the twilight of the gods. Your stunning Norse landscape of icy mountains and fjords, mysterious forests and rushing rivers will inspire you to great deeds of heroism.

A sneaky trickster, Loki is always feeling slighted by the other gods and determined to take revenge. Identifying with Loki can mean you have a good feel for the strengths and weaknesses of a situation or a system and intuitively know how to turn things to your own advantage. Your Loki power of persuasiveness and dis-information (deceit) contributes to success in psychological warfare, gaining unexpected allies, and unifying rabble and rogues to your cause. Beware of being tricked yourself.

Well, considering how I am half Norse ancestry, and already had a certain identity…

I am apparently Isis, Loki, or Zeus. Some might call that “inconsistent” or “confusing”, I prefer “multi-faceted”.

I’ve given it a try from work.

> Congratulations!!! You are a proud member of the Egyptian Pantheon. Were you alive thousands of years ago, you would have helped build the famed Egyptian Pyramids. Like the sophisticated Egyptians, you value learning and logic. Though moving within a ponderous bureaucracy and priesthood, the pantheon of Egypt runs the gamut from river gods to sky gods to builder gods. Your grasp of art, architecture and stately beauty creates civilizations worth defending and expanding. You’ll enjoy cruising the Nile in reed barges admiring the magnificent works of your people.
> 
> There’s one in every family. The black-sheep brother-slayer, Set, actually has some good points, too. He is very organized and persuasive, able to bring together large groups to do his bidding. He also works well with animals, particularly the wild and vicious ones, but usually to the detriment of other humans. One of your Set abilities is to make people think they’re in on all your plans while secretly keeping the real power for yourself. Remember that some people, like your nephew Horus, are willing to wait a long time for vengeance so never let your guard down.
> 
> God Power: Sentinel. Protects a Town Center with four sentinels.

So, I guess we’re all Set, & ready to go, then. 🙂

\<nitpick\>

It’s called “DID” nowadays, rather than “MPD”.
