Well, if you're given deeply incomplete (and often highly biased) information, but demanded to form opinions anyway, naturally some of them will look idiotic from the perspective of someone who knows the whole story.

On the other hand, if you're given the whole story, naturally some of your views will look idiotic from the perspective of someone who has only a biased account to go by.

Idioticness of opinions is a very bad measure.
After all it's a roleplaying game.

That's pretty much my point.

So is there a system in place for assisting non-SA realms to implement SA as their state religion? Like, can I get military backing and funding? Maybe some priests?
The adherents of different religions in a realm should compete for power, influence, and fresh converts. They don't even have to be killing each other to do so. I wish people promoted the prosperity of their religions the same way they promoted the growth and prosperity of their realms. - Geronus

I'm sure some elders would be happy to oblige  ;)
What is Freedom? - ye can tell; That which slavery is, too well; For its very name has grown; To an echo of your own

T'is to work and have such pay; As just keeps life from day to day; In your limbs, as in a cell; For the tyrants' use to dwell

If you steal armies from the war on Asylon, I will be most displeased.

What kind of assistance do you really need? Just make the declaration and you're done, right? ;)

Oh, I see. You're anticipating internal unrest and armed resistance to the declaration. :p

Potentially. I don't leave things to chance.

Displease you? I would never!  ::)

*beats the dust out of the thread with a cat* Ahem.

News of sorts, I guess. Gustav has expressed his wish to leave the church. Only to find that the bureaucracy was incredibly thick and slow-witted, leaving him stuck in a mire of paperwork and exasperation. No amount of cajouling and threats can persuade them to make the process faster, as if one bureaucrat falls, two more step in with piles of paperwork regarding the death of said person and his arrangements.(Yay for bugs...)

Just won't let me leave the church when I try to. It is already listed on the bugtracker. I just thought I would speak of it in my own idiosyncratic manner here.
