i hear ya ~ i actually just reread the whole WWII series earlier this year. With 8000 other things going on, i could only read during my lunch hour. Needless to say, it sure did take a W H O L E lot of 1 hour sessions to finish all 8 
but worth it!
FWIW, i prefer the great war series, but then again, i'm american and it certainly is much more regional than the other series.

In the SGOTM01 incident precisely this type of event occurred. Although it was from our sworn foe who was adjacent to our solar system. Perhaps establishing colonies in the near vicinity of other civilizations would increase the likelihood of such events?
I have no philsophical objections to the proposed charter change outlined above.

Now, I thought with a Holy Shrine the religion -- I mean charter -- would spread more freely to other civilizations regardless of Open Borders. Or am I incorrect in the game mechanic?

One thinks it should but on Monarch seems to take a while. Both Planets have no charter but yet we can't reach them. I was hoping Ruff_hi's empathic abilities will help them see our way. LOL

Ok, I see ... if religion will spread, then I am inclined to have the varaint stay as per original. Let me finish my turnset, and see how things go.

Actually now that I think about we don't have a shrine yet. I would use a Trekkie term but want to be specific. I think it's the shrine that makes it spread faster. We will have a Great Federation specialist in 9 turns which yield us a Federation Charter center ability. (shrine) Although you might want to use him for the art of the Christian charter.
Are we satisfied with what we have then we should build the Federation Charter Center. Now here's a kicker and happens to me always. I will choose one Charter and then the AI's take on another Charter that I have founded but not the "chosen Charter". One specialist arrives at the capitol and the entire civ will accept the Charter. It doesn't always last but does work.
Hope that makes sense.
EDIT: After some experimentation the shrine will spread the religion quickly. So can stay with original variant.

lurker's comment:
How religion spreads (I think):
If there is a connection between cities, a religion can spread from one to the other. Open Borders does not prevent this, however, I do not know if Open Borders encourages it.
If you have a Shrine, it does encourage the spread of the religion (i.e. greater % chance of spreading). If you have a State Religion, it encourages the internal spread of the religion (so it only helps within your borders--which is why you want to get other Civs to convert to the State Religion).

Captain's Log - Stardate 21075
People at the Daystorm Institute learnt how a new deadly technology. Symbols.
Why deadly? Because immediately, that head of the Axtec came asking for it.
Sorry, pal, I can't do that. My hands are tied. I am not supposed to interfere with your civilization.
Captain's Log - Stardate 21175
I have just been summoned to the Starfleet headquarters. Admiral Dorothy told me that the Vulcan had sent us their High Ambassador (read: GProphet) to serve as a resident Charter Protector for the Federation.
After much discussion about which of the three version of the charters is the best, things were put into vote. The third edition won by a slight margin.
Starleet command had me oversee the construction of the Residence for the High Ambassador.
Captain's Log - Stardate 21200
It's that Aztec Head of State again. He asked for show of friendship from the federation to the Aztec ....
What? Us, weak? Damned, I terminate the communications channel, faking technical problems.
Well, he may come knocking again, I will better fake ill and return to my quarters.
>>> Command Code (250AD) <<<

I set us towards Literature for the Library. We would need iron working soon to clear the forest and start erecting some cottages.
I am considering relaxing the variant a bit ... but I will talk abt that tomorrow. Need to sleep now.

Star Fleet research wants to know if they should start investigating the feasibility of building a stealth class of ships that could pass through other civilization's space continuims without causing a war?

Ruff hi
You have a good aptitude for the Star Trek details. Also pardon moi for my err on the Empath. Perhaps science officer is a better description since you know all the intricate details of Star Trek.

Hilarious, actually based on the first episode of Season 3.
Now, abt the relaxation of variant:
(1) Adoptation of any version of the Federation charter would be considered a show of faith to join the Federation, thus allowing us to trade with them if they initiate the trade (but they are still not considered Federation member)
(2) In line with the several breaches of Prime Directive in each series of Star Trek, each crew (i.e player) is allowed one breach, to be taken as and when he (or she?) sees fit
How abt that?

Sir just an observation but it won't be long before Peter adapts one of our charters. That's good news sir and thank you for opening a door to one breach. Will make good use of that someday.
