Tagmatium Rules Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 (edited) As some of you may know, I've had an off-shoot of my nation's main church annoying all and sundry for a good few months now, generally harassing those of other religions and everyone else. The back story is that the leader of that sect, George Wheelwright, used to be the Metropolitan of the city of Petrium since before my nation's Civil War (in 2005) and before that, during the old right-wing Republic, but was kept on due to him convincing the previous Emperor that he was a reformed character. He wasn't, and was sacked due to preaching hatred against other religions as well as his homophobic views. He then made a splinter group from the Tagmatine Orthodox Church that basically wants to see a right-wing government and an end to Socialism, as well as the forcible conversion of those living in Tagmatium who aren't of the Tagmatine Orthodox Church. Now its coming to the end of its life. Wheelwright feverently believes that it's the Imperial Government that is oppressing his church, not the Holy Emperor. He thinks that Commodus will shortly reveal all, and make him the real Patriarch of Tagmatium. He couldn't be more wrong. So the question I'm asking is that do you lot think that I should make a new thread, outside of my Newsthread, and RP the downfall of the Church of True Orthodoxy there, or should I just keep it within my Newsthread and have it done as a series of news bulletins? The thing is, I've got a post mentally written up that has Wheelwright arrested and his dreams crushed to dust when he realises the true. I've also got a second post, actually written up, of my Holy Emperor's speech on the True Churchers (complete with picture of Commodus, kindly doctored by Orioni ).

Ide Jima Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 I'd say make a new thread, that way it would be easier to keep track of events. +If any of the True Churchers want asylum in Ide Jima, they can have it - that would figure. Link to comment
Adaptus Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Go for it. Perhaps our two churches could clash a little bit more. Link to comment
Tagmatium Rules Posted September 27, 2006 Author Share Posted September 27, 2006 It isn't going to end abruptly, and many of the "True Churchers" really won't take the actions of the Imperial Government too well. Ide, I wouldn't mind that at all. Some people plotting the overthrow of Tagmatium in a far away land Link to comment

Miiros Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 I shall wear my medal proudly! Thank you. Although now everytime I read an RP with the Holy Emperor in it I'm going to have V For Vendetta flashbacks. XD Link to comment
Tagmatium Rules Posted October 10, 2006 Author Share Posted October 10, 2006 I'm considering an assassination attempt on Commodus. I won't kill of my one favourite character, nor will it affect the way Tagmatium is run (Vice-Chancellor Commenus is of the same ideas), but it will villianise the True Church more. Link to comment
Adaptus Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Sounds a good go. I can have my Church in Exile belt out another rant about how they are against the true church. Link to comment
