Am saying this now... this is not supposed to be offending for any religions, its vaguely based off the medieval church. Ok there is a list of names below, you want to rise through them and become the pope. To do this you can do multiple things, bribe me fables, preach sermons, be very persuasive, and anything else you can think of. Also by accusing your opponent of things (like witchcraft and the such) and having them judged by me, if I decide there guilty, their out of the game. Another way to win is that you are the last remaining person. I need people to sign up before we start, the winner gets the Bookwizard Discount Card, which gives you 30% off all Bookwizard Agencies services, and it looks cool.

All praise the Holy Father. Heed His mighty words, and live according to His book. Stray not from the path of righteousness lest ye be punished for thy sins. Remember thy Father always and respect His children.
I could go on...

Lord Byron is a witch, look at his avatar. It's proof, it's the witch king. He's the king of witchs, how much witchier can you get?

*Ahem* Now for my sermon. A quote from the Pulp Fiction bible.

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.

I should get pope straight away for that one, :P just kidding.

In all my wanderings I have never seen such unfaithful beings. You all praise God, but no God is in His name anymore. Empty words and full money bags, that's what you are about. We all want to get up, and we do it in all ways possible. But are your goals really worth this heresy?

The Lord (not Byron :P) said he would always be with us. And he is, for what else could the little voice in the back of our head that we call "conscience" be? You see that I am not mistaken, and you see that every time you watch a dirty movie or look under a girl's skirt, the Lord is watching...

Cyberworm has commited the Deadly Sin of Lust! He quotes rude and strange things in his signatuer, and even proclaims 'I'm in love with my lust' at one point! Not only that, but he is breaking the Commandment not to worship false idols in song lyrics praising Angels, and implying rude things.

And his avvy is distinctly violent. It encourages people to die!

The wise wait.

The White Blacksmith · Joined: 02 Apr 2006 Posts: 2409

The good do not wait, for waiting implies inactivity. The good endeavor to be wise, and then spread their wisdom. One must only wait if one has completed all that can be done, and yet cannot move on. To wait before all else is not wise: it is the mark of a fool who thinks himself wise.

One must first remove the log from one's own eye before pointing out the splinter in another man's eye.

The path to Heaven is through the Lord Jesus Christ, son of God, and all else are lies. May the Holy Spirit guide you to do good and fill the world with happiness.

(Wait, is Smithy's post valid? I mean, come on. My sig? lol)

Indeed, for D-Lotus has a point. I maybe am in love with my lust, but you have committed the deadly sin of lust yourself! And with a minor! :shock:

I'm sure the minor would like to stay anonymous, but I rest my case, for my lust is a natural one - every man loves himself, even if for a small deal. The most important thing is that you love others more than yourself. I think Smithy has shown us something like that, though referenced with a wrong person.

(Let's see you get out of that one ;))

Ah, but I have done all I can for now. I wait and watch as the beasts brawl. When most are gone due to their own papal incompetence, then I shall speak again. Why risk loss now, when I can focus later? You see much Blacksmith, but not my strategy?

Gallant · Joined: 02 Mar 2008 Posts: 148 Location: New Zealand

You all should be ashamed of yourselfs for trying to compete for the papacy! To be pope is not to have power but to do gods work and gods work is just as good whether it be from a man on a box to the pope himself. I demand I be demoted to Serf!

You are not aquainted with your Holy Bible, the Word of the Lord! For He has stated in the Parable of the Talents that one must not waste one's abilities. That includes the ability to guide people towards God, and to be the maximum pontif. Obviously, if you wish to be demoted to Serf, it is because you realize that you are not fit to be the Pope.

Another Word of Advice: Capitalize the majority of your Words, and you will inspire Awe.

Thou dost not believe, then, in guiding the lost sheep? Thou believest, then, only in thy secular power? Nay, fool! For true bliss may only be found through Jesus Christ, that Holy lamb of God. Worship him, ye faithful, for ye shall be saved, and sinners shall burn in the soul-tearing fires of hell!

...as I said, the weak minds, though they may have the right idea, must be fully indoctrinated so that their confused blabbering becomes coherent. Before believers can spread the message of the Holy Trinity, they must understand their own faith so that they may shed light upon non-believers.

And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon If's mountains green
And was the holy lamb of God
On If's pleasant pastures seen

And did the countenance divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among those dark Satanic mills

Bring me my bow of burning gold
Bring me my arrows of desire
Bring me my spears o'clouds unfold
Bring me my chariot of fire

I will not cease from mental fight
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
'Til we have built Jerusalem
In If's green and pleasant land
'Til we have built Jerusalem
In If's green and pleasant land

Who is this Harley, who never shows her face, nor follows the Word of the Lord, and yet she ranks highest above us, through purely secular means? I charge her of heresy! She must stand before us, so that we may smell her reek of evil or her odorous purity and form judgment. If she doth not stand before us, then surely she is afraid we will smell her evil.

Guest · Guest

Evil??? How dare ye call me evil??? I was told by the Lord to point out one of the many sins committed by many humans such as ourselves. And that sin is Greed.

*looks around* hmmm once I find my holy soapbox, I will continue my sermon
