Statecraft and Duplicity

[Civ'ed]

Yes, but the Arabians would use the word "allah" as an adjective to describe the separately named gods of their pantheon.

so allah means divine then?

 

[Mosher]

Yes, but the Arabians would use the word "allah" as an adjective to describe the separately named gods of their pantheon.

Wat.

[SouthernKing]

Please tell me more...

 

[MoreEpicThanYou]

If "allah" means not only God, but gods, as in plural, than yes.

 

[Jwitti]

no that makes no sense... I thought it was the word for god (as in Latin Deus) that is capitalized in English if you believe in one God (typically, I do the caps at least) So they had called their gods allah(s) and and then when they went monotheistic they had one God they called Allah?

 

[MoreEpicThanYou]

Yeah, that's it. Not sure if it's true, though...

 

[Tambien]

Allah was the word used by pre-Islamic tribes to descirbe the all-encompasing divine force.

 

[Jwitti]

oooh ok that makes sense.. . anyway, back ic:
I wish to announce that I wish to appoint a staff to help me be a wise ruler. Any applicants will be considered. (ooc: Filli_Noctus has PMed me with an offer)

 

[MoreEpicThanYou]

I believe that a council of the wisest men (the players) should advise you on specific matters. I would like to be the military adviser until I get a higher political position,

 

[Jwitti]

ooc: Rename it as Minister of Protection

 

[Tambien]

Are all of the wheelinds and dealings done?

 

[Jwitti]

We have: Minister of Protection: Mawr-Epikh
Minister of the Interior: Terazuro
Al-Maissan and Al-Layd as other advisers
Minister for Religion:

 

[MoreEpicThanYou]

Yeah, I think we're done. Remember, I only want to be Minister of Protection until it's possible for me to get actual (in-game) political power.

 

[Jwitti]

ooc: Of course. All were until we set up a more democratic system anyway

 

[Tambien]

OOC: Anyway, I will try to get an update in soon.

 

[Civ'ed]

Al-Quds wishes that this "advisor's council" also thinks about the plight of the religious.

 

[Tambien]

What plight?

 

[Aaronius]

We have: Minister of Protection: Mawr-Epikh
Minister of the Interior: Aaronius (no arabic name atm)
Al-Maissan and Al-Layd as other advisers

My name is Ali Baba, of house Terazuro.

 

[Jwitti]

Both taken into account. Thank you. Does anybody wish to advise me on godly matters?

 

[Civ'ed]

Of course!
*er-hem*
Al-Quds would happily take this job.
