Well, I should feel a bit better for that, but I don't. Though if a helloen is worthless, it can live we me and we can be worthless together... fun.

Andrew H. Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 CM is like a medieval city. Most people on the board are peasants. Steve and Charles, etc. are the lords in the castle overlooking the town. They occasionally throw tidbits (screenshots, etc.) down to the peasantry to keep them from getting too unruly. The role of the church is played by the grogs. The grogs have no direct way of forcing the lords to do anything, but if they show the lords that what they are doing is against the grog religion (so to speak), they can persuade the lords to change things, as was the case with the M3 halfsquad heresy. As was historically, the case, however, the church of grog is not monolithic. While almost all of the groggy clergy support Pope Rexford, and many believe that Pope Rexford is infallible, some complain about the fact that the pope has *so many* revelations. Mostly concering the blessed virgin of Isigny (with a lot of discussion about whether the apparation at Isigny was really a virgin, with some suggesting that the "virgin" had actually been previously holed, (possibly even burned out), and was then just patched, painted, and passed off as new. (The virginal status of the Isigny apparition is, however, quite important for part of grog doctrine). There are numerous factions within the church of grog, however, some of which bear mention. One group is the Opticians, nominally lead by Bishop Tom W., who believe that German optics were divinely inspired, and thus far superior to optics created by mortal man. The Statisticians, lead by Bishop Jason, essentially postulate (in prose that makes Heidegger and Adorno read like Clancy and Grisham by comparison) that there is a new way of "knowing" things in CM, and that this new epistemology should be applied across the board. Bishop Tero and the Uberfinnish Heresy (sounds like a rock band) is a very small group (consisting almost entirely of Bishop Tero), but has been able to widely broadcast its vision, although the heresy has won no converts. The lords in their castle are mostly able to ignore what the various groggy factions say, although Lord Steve is often unable to resist the temptation to leave the castle and engage in theological infighting with the clerics. The architecture of CMville was created by a large group of loosely organized craftsmen known as the Modders' Guild. While CM was originally built by Lord Steve and Lord Charles, and their original structural work remains, due to the activities of the modders' guild, almost nothing of the original CM architecture remains, except for those parts which can't be changed. Some Lords were originally members of the modders' guild, and were elevated to nobility on account of their artistic virtue. The final important element of CM town is the Cult of Peng, a large mysterious establishment on the outskirts of town, near a swamp. No one really knows what goes on in this cult (or if they do, they're not saying), and none of the lords dare approach the swamp. Nevertheless, perhaps on the theory that it's better to keep these people in one place, where you can keep an eye on them, the lords have refused to shut down and disperse the cultists, even upon request of the more pious members of the peasantry, who would prefer more groggy churchgoing CMville, and less impious invective by the cultists. However, the lords do not hesitate to strike swiftly and decisively when he cultists leave their swampy enclave and start roaming around the town proper.

LGMB Posted January 26, 2002 Author Share Posted January 26, 2002 Soldiers, A county we be, and a county we shall remain! If religous grog cultists are the best we can do in the from of influeance to the Lords, we're in trouble! We need a sytem of parliment to enforce change, an elected assembly roughly pre-Cromwelleon. Something that can bitch and whine, but never really FORCE changes, as the Lords can simply disolve the parlimentry body. Then we'll need a house of Lords, who can advise the greater Lords...Royals, as to the grog implementations of each parliment suggestion. The beta furom should siffice for the closed house of lords, or privy counsel. Of course the parilemnt will be open the people! As for the grog church, we shall simply disolve it, for it can do nothing but bore the towns folk to death, with clergy tieths, and land grabs. The cult of Peng can remain, as it is an essaintail part of the dutchy of CM, but it must remain under tight rule, never allowed to spiral out of control, and attract more poor souls into its bissare ritualistic cloutches. What we need is a good democratic revolution! All for the parliment say, "I" [ 01-26-2002: Message edited by: Lord General MB ]</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullethead Posted January 27, 2002 Share Posted January 27, 2002 Lord General Mr. Bill- You might not know it, but the Justicor of the Cesspool is none other than your ancient nemesis, Mr. Sluggo. Seeing as you have invariably been dismembered, folded, spindled, and mutilated every time you've squared off with Mr. Sluggo, I would recommend against this course of action. Furthermore, the Cesspool is protected by the Elder Gods. Attempts to destroy it will only bring their displeasure upon you. So if you don't want to be carried off by nightgaunts, I think you should cease and desist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
