He doesn't get payed to spend hours modding the game.

Does he, like us, want a better CIV game so he created this so he could enjoy it himself? Does he do it because he likes people enjoying his creation?

I just want to know what motivates Rhye to do the great work that he does?

There is pleasure in creating something and this is one of those things Rhye is capable of creating. It is also interesting to try and simulate something as complex as human history within the context of a game.

Plus I put a gun to his head ;)

He does it, because he can.

He does it, because he can.


sounds biblical, lol.

The Rhyes giveuth (sp?) and the Rhyes takeuth (sp?) away....

sounds biblical, lol.

Rhye do it because he is a god ;)

I think he just likes the worship...

And Rhye said "Let there be Mod!" and it was.

And it was good.

Rhye is the spearhead of an alien invasion.
He is creating wondeful mods so that when the alien invasion will start the humans will be too busy playing to defend their planet.

Hail to king lizard of Aldebaran, leader of the Aliens.

King Lizard of Aldebaran? no problem, let's just wait for the Death Star :)

Mother Teresa was a helpful person for poor. Jesus helps every Christian, rich or poor. Rhye helps everyone. Some just haven't seeked for his help.

Indeed, Rhye for Messiah.

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Rhye for messiah?? Heck, Rhye for God!

Rhye stopped working on the mod so he can read this thread over and over...

I hereby declare the Church of Rhye open to believers! Let all the world know the mod of the great and glorious Rhye! :)

Right, I now officially declare myself the Archbishop of Toasters for the Holy and Most Glorious Church of Rhye

On the first day, Sid created Civ, and Rhye saw that it could be improved...

I like Tboy's idea. Then I'll take pics of him and send them to Dr.Phil. And then I would eat chips and watch you being humiliated. :mwaha:

No. Don't eat chips. Eat pizza.

eat Rhye ;)

Yes!! Pizza will be the food of the Gods for Rhyeism!

eat Rhye ;)
Does Rhye taste like pizza?

@Talkie_Toaster; Hmm, I've seen you somewhere...

Of course Rhye tastes like pizza!! Some people! ;)

God said "Let there be light!"
And Rhye said; "Say please."

Pepperonia pizza shall be the most holy food of the Church of Rhye, by order of the Grand Archbishop of Nerds!

I declare myself pope

I actually lold at you.

y'know what we really need? An RFC wiki.

Orthodox - Pope: Kairob

I demand it to be changed to un-orthadox

Pah, your demands are met!

Now, our sects must unite in the choosing of a common symbol to spread the holy word!

Proposals:
>That tambourine thing from his display pic
>any more suggestions? =P

God said "Let there be light!"
And Rhye said; "Say please."

I think you're now stuck between a rock and a hard place.:nuke:
Chuck Norris was always supposed to have said that and he surely is your enemy now.;) Him as an enemy!? Must have suicidal tendencies! Refusing that statement would probably make Rhye to your enemy! Uuuhhhh! I'm glad not to be you now:crazyeye:

A comprise: Rhye whispered to Chuck Norris and advised him to say that and Chuck just liked it, now they are friends:eek:

Thank you for this amusing thread!:lol: :lol: :lol:

"God said "Let there be light!"

That do ya?

Does Rhye taste like pizza?

Of course, because he is Italian. He has some spaghetti taste too! :lol:

Why does Rhye do it?

Because he chooses to. :cool:

he is also from mafia but, above the other things, is good at playing mandolino. Only when he eats maccheroni though

Rhye does it because Italians do it better.

I think a pizza would be the perfect holy sombol...

*cheering masses*

"All hail Rhye! All hail Rhye! All hail Rhye! tell us the meaning of Life!"

I hereby demand an Inquisition on the number of silly threads and posts that have risen following Rhye's declaration of abdication. (I'm sure I'll get stoned to death for saying this!) :mischief:

Behold the symbol upon thine cloth!

http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b107/Vishaing/Symbol4copy.jpg
Sacred Symbol of (un)Orthodox Rhyeism!

and

http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b107/Vishaing/Symbol3copy.jpg
Holy Banner of the Revised Order of Vegetarian Rhyeism!

:lol:

Nice one Vishaing!

:lol: This is so funny! XD

So, where is the papal state of Rhye?

:lol:

I have to admit I was a little embarassed by all this...

However, as long as you don't make comparisons with anything serious like Christianity, I'm fine
I don't see any blasphemy is claiming to be a God of..........Rhyeism :crazyeye:


And I have to admit you guessed right. My favourite food is pizza, and it has to be the HOLY food. It's really the source of my power; without it I'd feel sick and collapse in a myriad of independent CFC users :lol:

Like I said to Talkie Toaster, seriously, if you are interested I can open a thread where I teach you how to make good pizzas on your own.


As for the symbol, I'm amazed again, the circle surrounding the R looks like a tambourine!!! (it's the only instrument I play other than singing)

We shouldn't make comparisons with Christianity!?

Buzz off Rhye, this isn't your business! :p

Christians have crucifixes, we should have holy tamburines! :lol:

With a pizza in it!

It's amazing how a simple and honest question from Immortal Ace morphed into a rather weird and celebrative thread.

At this point we should ask the USA senate to teach alternative history (generated via Civilization games) in pair with the more official history of the world. :)

If they try to do it with the so called "intelligent design" in pair with Evolution Theory, Civ history would fit pretty well. ;)

Hey, we get the supporters of "intelligent design" on our side!

I mean that Sid is intelligent and he created Civilization, which later morphed to Rhye's mod.

Our conquering of world begins soon...

Now!

Oh, wow at the symbols =P

Go forth (http://wikirhye.wikidot.com/), and spread the holy word.

This is still INCREDIBLY basic and I'm counting on you to make it anywhere near remotely good =]

I am trying to add to it, but it says that I cant unless I am a member, but I am a member!

Edit, turns out I joined the wiki but not your section.

Ahh ok

I just approved you

Be warned that I need to approve all members =[ I can't find a way to turn that off, so since I'm going to bed now other people probably won't be able to join until morning.

If ya make me a mod I could aprove them?

OK, you're a mod, but I'm not sure if you'll be able to accept =P

I've not used this site before.

So, we have an another religion here... I suggest we include Rhyeism in Rhye's and Fall.

This reminds me of The Celtic Peacekeepers - a Civ3 story so creatively told, that people were proclaiming its author God and invented a religion called Daftpanzerism. Too much religion stuff going here...

Rhye, the next bugfix-minor update you will make should have an easter egg called Rhyeism! It should be something like that you have built a city in the place of Livorno and you have Internet, and then with some tech you should get Rhyeism! :lol::lol:

Bump

HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN YOUR FAITH SO SOON?!

UNBELIEVERS!!

NOBODY EXPECTS THE RHYEIST INQUISITION!

We were p(r/l)aying :D

Haha, I like that.

By the way LuKo, do you like my little reference to you in the Rhyeism article on the wiki? :p

Plague will punish the unfaithful ones :evil:



:p

Rhye, the next bugfix-minor update you will make should have an easter egg called Rhyeism! It should be something like that you have built a city in the place of Livorno and you have Internet, and then with some tech you should get Rhyeism! :lol::lol:

nice idea :lol:

Replace Al Gore with Rhye! :D

So Rhye, are you making Rhyeism a easter egg to RFC(:W)?

if i find some time i'll add an ester egg, but not necessarily about Rhyeism

I heard the words
ouch holy god Rhye...
gimme enlightment

And then rhye reveals his location: Somewhere in Japan (see previous symbol of rhye). Can anyone read Japanese? He actually lives here:イタリア

I believe thats Italy in Japanesse.

Yeah, it spells "Itaria", i.e. Italia.

I thought he moved north?

Never mind...He lives in Italy heavan. Someone should make the ten commandments of rhyeism

Thanks for the mod, Rhye. :)

Thou shalt (sp?) not squat other civs!
Thou shalt not use the World Builder!
Thou shalt not overexpand!
Thou shalt not exploit!
Thou shalt not use Police State together with Free Speech!

Any more ideas?

Thou shalt not complete the Egyptian UHV on Emperor...

Thou shalt not survive as a superpower if you're Mali.

Thou shalt not have big republics.

Thou shalt not covet thine neighbour's homeland tiles.

Thou shalt not take Rhye's map and post it as yours in a mod contest
