Schism often suggests a difference of views resulting in a split. a splinter factions is often a similar set of views, but often more or less extreme with different methods.
example, a splinter faction is often full of religious fundamentalists who use aggression etc, while the main body would use politics

It's possible. Just ask Undine and Mithyaat Vam (Stonemaybe and Lucimay) how two of my Important Worshippers died last game.Dorian wrote:Even when on the other side of the world? And disguised as one of my followers?
I dont mind, It has allowed me to put something in place that will piss a few people off, but its a necessary precaution
As for schism/splinter: The diference seems to be that Xar has never referred to anyone "suffering a schism" except in the Rules Thread example.

no. not necessarily. my followers 3 or 4 times went and did things i had not told them nor sanctioned them to do. but i hadn't told them NOT to either!! i believe this can be avoided by specifically signifying in your turn that your followers should not do such and such to so and so or something similar. (creator as AK would specify that his favored guys should go out and blah blah blah but not to this god or that god, like that)Dorian wrote:Ah well, so the god in question knows, when i go and string ya follower up from some building and all that believed him, dont take it personal like
if a gods followers go out and do something the god did not tell them to do, it should be in their turn results that their followers did it, tho. and then, if the god doesn't contact you and say something like "those damned errant followers, so sorry, how can i fix this with you" then you have every right to do whatever in retaliation.
am i over explaining? does it make any sense?
you're more advanced than a cockroach,
have you ever tried explaining yourself
to one of them?

i've had this with actors before, on the set,
where they get upset about the [size of my]
trailer, and i'm always like...take my trailer,
cause... i'm from Kentucky
and that's not what we brag about.

I was definitely informed of the Centaur crusaders.
I never even thought of specifying crusade was not a possibility, as my hope is to share the land.

The majority of these blessings were mine, so I apologize for the workload. Should've figured on that BEFORE I sent them. I'm fine with the no Domain blessing rule. Whatever makes it easier on you.Xar wrote: Incidentally, about non-DRP blessings: given the enormous volume of those blessings that were sent back and forth this turn, and fearing that the number is only destined to increase as time goes by, I have decided to remove them completely from the game. In lieu of these blessings, you can of course always send Treasury to help your allies' endeavours; further, with an expense of divine power, you can always hinder or favor other gods. But to save me time when processing turns, enough with the non-DRP blessings

Just added my contest entry. Was running out of free time, so it's something I literally 'knocked-together' in the last 40mins or so. I had originally intended to add two creation myths, one when the religion was polytheistic, and the modern monotheistic version. As it stands, I hadn't the time, so I simply pointed out that there was an earlier, polytheist version. The basic idea had been floating around in my head for a few weeks, though.
Enjoy.
Enjoy.
