The Dance of Civilizations [Diplo Game] [Organization Thread Pt1]

[Rome (DoC)]

I found a cartoon about Hastog... I especially agree with the last frame

[Rome (DoC)]

Fear is the source for disgust. No disgust without fear.
You disgust what you fear. There's of course a difference between fearing the sword or fearing the tasteless, but either by the sword or by the smell, Hastogianism will cover your lands!

you make fear seem very all encompassing. Figures for a people that continuously lives in it...

[Rome (DoC)]

Resistance is good!
There's no resistance if there's nothing!
Your resistance is there only because you fear something!
The fact that you fear Hastogianism is good enough!
No other religion on earth is feared except Hastogianism

Hastog feeds upon your fear.
More fear is more power.
You will all fall to the fat one! Fear it!

Open your eyes and look forward, you'll most probably be watching Hastog in the eyes! Fear him! He's your destiny!

Who said anything about fear?!? Disgust is a completely different emotion. Maybe you are projecting your own sentiments? Have you been able to sleep lately? Lying awake in the dark?

I'm enjoying your particular brand of crap... Although I have a problem with the Fat Pig Hastog, as an in game principle

Religion is a part of the game. And it's a part of the diplomacy.
Fleshing it out makes sense.

I deliberately made both religions branches of the same and included major figures in the religions. (the 2x6 deamons) to give every civ a way to go with my religion, and yes, Russia, go ahead and make your own branch of Hastogianism. I'd say, feel even free to use Hairy Hastogianism for that. Bottom line is that all Hastogianists should worship Hastog in one or another way. Like Shiites and Soenies worship Allah, but sometimes kick the crap out of each other (but are still regarded as one huge group).

And every civ is free to include the deamon I assigned to them into their stories in whatever way they want. (as long as they remain deamons of Hastog)

I like it how both Britannia and Russia continued the story, and even brought me in a difficult position, regarding the sacrifices. (and I especially loved it that Britannia said they agreed with Russia, and then continued saying something 100 opposite )

Oh well, ramble ramble, we're all having fun here
And everybody may know that it's not a secret that Persia's goal is to spread Hastogianism to all places of the world and make all civs adopt any form of Hastogianism. So in the end I'm having an in-game goal, cloathed in stupid story posts about hairy guys falling out of heaven.

I hope someone liked the stories I've been writing...
I get it that a lot of the religious stories are a bit off-topic, but really, they are in many ways the basis for the culture of a civ. I'm currently writing what will be the founding myth of Russia, which in my opinion is gonna influence alot of future decisions.

And frankly, in my opinion, the persian take on religion with the 1 feather becoming a whole chicken coop is the basis for most religions. Hastog who was a megalomaniac bully is later honored, then revered and finally worshipped. As a priestly caste emerges his story is embellished for various reasons, including the needs and wants of the clergy and the rulers. I'm spinning off on that story cause it will create political opportunities later and I also try to make it funny and entertaining. I've also borrowed (plagiarized some might say) from other stories. See which ones you can spot (movies, comics, books)?

Bottom line, I'm trying to create a separate religious branch to make Russia more independent from Persia. I am also embellishing a religion that is mostly undeveloped, which will make for stories, possibility for religious conflicts etc etc.

Maybe it's crap. If so, then I assume that it will be voted down and I'll have to try something else. Personally I kinda enjoy the fleshing out of the religions of our world, especially since they create differences from real life religions making for a unique worldculture in the game. And this is still in the mists of time, as time goes by, with more going on and more to tell, religious stories will drop off. I'm making some now as part of the background of my civ.

I was just pointing out that your comments were not in line with your own standards. You're free of course to choose your own standards.

You said that you did not see any stories about what was happening on the map, which is not true. There are stories about what's happening in the game, ie. the story of the barbarian invasion.

My conclusion is; we do live up to your standards.
If you disagree, please tell me how the stories about the barbarian invasion are not reflecting your standards, because we apparently do not understand them.

yeah i should have said i did note that and a couple of others too, but i was finding i getting lost in all the other stuff.

but i guess you have to try and impress everyone ..

so keep it up , i wil jsut try and ignore the psots about hagrid and read the ones i prefer. keeps it fun for all that wayt..

[Persia (DoC)]

each to their own i guess. each to theri own , it isjust lucky we get to vote the way we feel not subject to any rules.
