Apolyton's Valentine's Day Celebration -- Jesus or Barabbas

[rah]

With Valentine's Day coming up, I thought Apolyton should mark the day in a special way. I've looked up the many possible origins that range from fertility festival to greeting card company greed festival. In 1969, the church actually removed St. Valentine's day from it's official holiday calendar. FOR SHAME

Since my id has been commonly associated to RA the Sun God, I thought maybe we should mock this day in deference to most organized religions. Since my being raised to part owner of APOLYTON, I have yet to abuse my new powers, but have decided that that oversight is about to end.

So, to celebrate my new powers I will borrow a rite used in ancient times for festivals. I have reviewed the list of prisoners that have been permanently exiled to our favorite island and will put forth the name of two for possible release.

Jesus
Stewart Spink

I ask you, loyal subjects of the OT, to express your opinion on who I should release and why. On Valentine's Day, I will review all the post and release one from exile.

Let's celebrate their impending release.

Please TRY to keep the personal abuse to a minimum,

Who's Stewart Spink?

Who banned 'bannana'?

[rah]

Yes, alas the immortal gods have selected someone from the ancient past who if you are unaware of the story, you must be a noob. I leave it to the other old timers to relate his tale of sin.
Stewart was selected because like barabbas, he too was an insurgent.
It may be time for his tale to be retold and discussed.

I am also interested in knowning what the Admins have against these characters.

If you release Spink, will you ban him immediately after that for possessing a DL?

[rah]

No, along with release comes dispensation.

Jesus was a rabble rouser who didn't worship the proper gods.
Spink, I'll let others relay the tale
Bannana, just annoys me.

And being an all seeing god, I can tell who has voted.
Those that vote should verbalize a justification for their votes, or the gods will be displeased. (except for my vote since I don't have to justify anything )

Anyways... I'd go with Barabbas... Easter would be a much more fitting holiday to unban Jesus.

But the question requires a doddly answer

[rah]

Don't tease the masses with a not so subtle cryptic message. It will anger the gods.

Have the gods been enjoying Teh Sweet Nectar on a Thursday afternoon?

[Lorizael]

What about YYYH!?

[rah]

Maybe the next holiday. The gods are fickle.

Or is that pickled.
