Those are two separate things, Ramiel.

I fully agree that religion should not be taken lightly, and that your character should not change religions like he changes saddles for his mount. It is very good that your character is making a gradual shift from a devout follower of the gods to an atheist (just kidding, just kidding, the point remains). The quality of such gods is a separate issue.

Tyr and Zisa could afford to use different names. It's like if I worshiped Yahweh/Jehovah and Jesus, Thor and Odin or Osiris and Amon.

I understand your RP decision to stick with it. I wasn't criticizing that.

I was criticizing the practice I had once believed explicitly banned of bringing RL deities into BM that has been done repeatedly now by the same player(s).

How about I start a character named Mohammed, found a religion called Islam, and call my God Allah? But I'll change some other things; we pray 8 times a day instead of 5, we paint our faces blue to go to temple, and we have a strict "no looting" policy. We're obviously not the same thing. We're just inspired by Islam.

... can I make a cartoon of my character in that instance?

Mighten you have a Wiki Link to your one? Because 'the word' itself could be in reference to a number of already existing 'religions' in RL/othergames.
If it is literally 'The Word' then, without any reference to your one, I will give my first guess as the 'religion' created by Terry Brooks in the 'Genesis of Shannara' trilogy and its associated stories.

It might be lazy but as I have already stated, I feel it is even worse to simply lose religion and convert in the space of less than a week. As a devout follower of the Lurian religion, it would be like loosing Tyr and Zisa and converting to Sanguis Astroism without even leaving Luria... it just wouldnt happen (Amaury doesnt count since he went to SA lands anyway :P). Bellator made the religion Ramiel followed, he is now adapting and evolving the religion. Yes the gods will still be named Tyr and Zisa. Get over it ;)
http://wiki.battlemaster.org/wiki/The_Word, please find something that's not original.

Your a genius Vellos!
We finnaly got it!
A solution to our decaying player base!
All we need to do is make one cartoon and post a link on some extremists forums.
Before you know, the whole world has heard of battlemaster and our player base goes from 800 to 8 million!
You'd have to live in a bunker the rest of your life, but hey, as long as you can login to BM... :P 
And besides, would'nt it be the greatest honor to become BM's true and only martyr?

Hmmm...

If Tom will confirm the fame points for this... it's tempting...

Something I came across on the Wiki, in the rules section:

"Strategic secessions are prohibited. This means creating a new realm, through secession, in order to circumvent recruiting-in-capital-only restriction. Friendly secessions are okay. "

That is indeed a rule.  Did I miss the reason for posting it, though?

The secession of Shinnen? What RP basis exists for that?
