I'd love to play this as well if you'll have me. Any high level game involving discussion is great fun and a superb learning experience - there is always something to work on in my play. I'm no regular deity either, but win sometimes. There are already some very established deity players signed in though, so doubt that will be a problem.
Pericles or any other good FE/SE leader would be cool. Other options in that category are the obvious Gandhi, Hatty or even the Khmer (half-price granary, free border pop, half-price library, +1 food and +2 health).
