LINESII- Into the Darkness

[Kal'thzar]

SS, looks like you act quick

 

[Silver Steak]

It wasn't my doing! I swear!

 

[Lord_Iggy]

I blame penguins!

The penguins blame Kentharu's evil typo gnomes.

 

[Kentharu]

Kentharu denounces any and all ties to the evil Gnomes as they are evil and they are gnomes

 

[Thlayli]

From: Veritas
To: Davar

We would suggest a conference to be held in Veritas, the Holy City of all who worship the One, regarding the theological differences between us. It is necessary that we form and complile a unified work of Church Scripture, and try to resolve the various splits between our clergy.

This is absolutely necessary, we cannot tolerate further schism.

 

[TerrisH]

Emor is also preparing to begin a deviation from the Standard Practice of the church of one, to one Less basd on words and more on actions.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

I might be short on updating time this weekend, so the update quality may be lower than usual.

Or maybe I'll stay up until 5 AM and give you a beautiful, if sleep-deprived- update.

 

[alex994]

Wait for me! Orders in like a hour

 

[Lord_Iggy]

I'm updating the north first. And I need Thlayli's orders.

So let's see what happens with the Lengels. I'll start with that.

theres no point fighting it thlayi, nobody likes someone elses religion taking hold of their nation.

 

[alex994]

Exactly, that's why religions are doomed to break into sects in neses

 

[Thlayli]

Thanks for the input, but I'll persevere.

Emor is also preparing to begin a deviation from the Standard Practice of the church of one, to one Less based on words and more on actions.

Uhm...Terris, what are you talking about?


From: Veritas
To: Davar

If anything, we insist that you cease using the word "God" to describe the One. How can we be members of the Church of the One if we do not call Him by His true name?

OOC: Working on orders Iggy, they'll be done in an hour or so.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

What's with everyone sending my 2 part orders this turn?

 

[alex994]

OOC: Well I forgot to add the parts about Xi shi

 

[Thlayli]

Well mine are a bit necessary, all things considered.

Beautiful orders of terror and majesty sent! If you could answer my diplo ASAP Iggy, it's much appreciated. I'll even hold back the N.A.O. rioters...for...a while.

 

[Kentharu]

ummm ok then... that kinda scaries me Thlayli... seeing as my orders were the shortest i have written for this NES

 

[Thlayli]

Don't worry, they are beautiful orders of terror and majesty. They're supposed to scare you, a little.

Kind of like baby sharks. A little scary...but not that scary.

 

[alex994]

OOC: Have any of you ever been "encoruaged" to swim faster by being chased by little baby sharps with no teeth? Very scary... I was only 5 at the time...

 

[Thlayli]

Little alex getting chased by little sharks.

There's definitely some irony there, but I'm too busy making a sandwich to appreciate it. Glad you lived, though.

Iggy, just let me know when the deadline's passed, so I can start making cryptic hints.

 

[~Darkening~]

This is absolutely necessary, we cannot tolerate further schism.

You "cannot tolerate further schism"? Our faiths are remain the same except for a few key concepts. Since we doubt Veritas would be willing to change it's entire doctrine, we remain adamnt about our church.

If anything, we insist that you cease using the word "God" to describe the One. How can we be members of the Church of the One if we do not call Him by His true name?

Many years ago a Hypandiun child from the mountains traveled from their home and visted many places, Veritas included. Bringing back with him the faith of the One, he was responsible for converting many of the mountain villages. The religion has remained the same because very few people have came into contact with these people. Altrough those villages have long since declined, their language has surfaced recently due to the work of a missionary. The missionary was converted by visiting one the villages where he studied under one of their priests. The have corrected what many of our people believe to be "misconceptions" about the One faith.

Altrough we may use diffrent words, we all infer to the same being. No matter which word is used, we all are refering to the One. How can one brother threaten another is the question we ask? We are still brothers under the One faith, no matter how rude one brother can be to another.

OOC: Don't tell me you didn't see this coming? Why do you think I was so actively converting to the Church? I've stood by you this whole time, putting my plans on hold yto help you and yet you're going to threaten me? is this really how you treat your allies? I'm not sure you didn't mean to leave bronze out those two turns, from your words here and your pms.

Alright, we still have the same basic faith, with just a few diffrences. Like Catholic and Prosestant. Same things, diffrent practices. Like Catholic and Orthodox, some of the same practices but with diffrent heads. I'll open discusions with your priests but the Davian Church stays. Plus I'm sick of writing "the One". repetitive and boring once you type it two hundred times, so I added two words. Big deal.
