The Jedi Council

Zarn · September 26, 2002, 16:30

Greetings, I am Lord Master Zarn of the Jedi Knights of Fanatika. I come here to promote the faith of Jediism in the Galaxy. The Jedi Council is dedicated to protection and advice. It also presses for religous advances and improvements. Jediism is the not the only religion in Fanatika, but it is the only active one (the other religion threads don't have too many posts). I need a citizen of your nation to create a branch for believers of Jediism in your nation. I need someone of religous value. This will not be the branch thread, though. Don't worship fruit or any food.

If you been to the UN, you might have noticed similarity between this post and one there.

BTW, You have the ability to run yourselves as well. The Jedi Council of Fanatika pushes for a Republic in Apolytonia (sp).

Can I be a Dark, Sith like Jedi?

that's what i'm into....

Zarn · September 26, 2002, 16:36

That's not up to me. I would treat that seperate from the Council. Although, I will have a list of siths, if any come.

exactly. BTW, there are 7 Jedi and two potential members at Fanatika. Zarn, Almightyjosh (missing), disorganizer, Stuck_As_a_Mac, CivGeneral, VHS, and Raven1er. Great Iguanaman and BCLG100 (sp) are potentials. I think that is it. That was off the top off my head.

Um, we here in Apolytonia worship The Great Banana. You could call Him a fruit, but we consider Him our deity, and under our recently purchased development of Monotheism, he is our one true deity.

We left Polytheism behind long ago. You should too. Give up your pagan Jediism and submit yourself to the wisdom of The Great Banana.

Hey, it may sound pretty cheesy, but he's been REALLY good to us thus far.

Jediism isn't polytheistic. It is a religion that shows respect to the Force.

Duddha · September 26, 2002, 18:39

Jedism is an afront to the Great Banana. And way too nerdy for me! whoa

Zero · September 26, 2002, 22:35

I'd join the council but my philosophy is to do good even if it means by use of the dark force.

very makiavellian dont u think (end justify the mean)
I beleive the jedis shun those things...

I wonder what the g0dz are going to say about that.

You've brought up an interesting contradiciton there... we have the g0dz, but we also have the one true Great Banana... you are correct that these would be difficult to reconcile... perhaps we can use our newly purchased knowledge of "theology" to work this one out...

jdjdjd · September 27, 2002, 10:50

The godZ are merely the executors of the great banana' s orders.

BTW, skywalker should join this group, the force is strong in him.

DAVOUT · September 27, 2002, 11:51

Do we get a laser saber when we register ?

Actually, recent research of the inscriptions made on our first temple have determined that our original interpretation of gOd was false. When he spoke, he clearly stated that there was only ONE gOd, but that gOd had two faces.

Quote:

gOd formed Apolytonia a few weeks ago and the nation seems to be going rather well, but only a single ceremony called "newZupdate" has been made so far. In another occasion, MarkG had to come down himself to take a look on the elections held two weeks ago.

"We even opened The Zecret Book Of pollZ", DanQ the other face of gOd, said with a sigh. "They prayed for help with their electionZ and we reZponded inZtantly. If thiZ keepZ going we are Zeriously thinking of packing our bagZ and going to Zee our folks on Alpha Centauri!" DanQ continued as MarkG threatened "and you can forget those regiZtration spellz!"

One can easily see where thousands of years ago, people may have confused that to mean TWO gOdZ. However, today we understand that they are one, and they carry the will of The Great Banana.
Visit the temple in Apolytonia yourself to see the full inscription: http://apolyton.net/forums/showthrea...threadid=57450

Or read about it in The Jungle Gazette

I always meant to revisit that with Monotheism...

Zarn · September 27, 2002, 15:16

If you wish to become a Jedi, you must see the RPG Forum in the Civ3 Demogame Forum in CFC.

rendelnep · September 28, 2002, 13:47

Zarn I don't wish to be rude but Apolytonia is very hard line against new cults or religions.I had at one point attempted to set up my own cult that proposed that we worship more than one fruit (10 I think). Come to think of I suppose that the cult had been based on the greek religion. After I had set it up I was nearly executed by vigilantes who wished to skin me like a banana. Anyway I advise that you 'apolytonise' jediism and make the whole branch a seperate entity until we become far more tolerant. Anyway I'l join shortly assuming that I can ( I fear the polyfruitism incident may have leaved me too disturbed)

Zarn · September 28, 2002, 15:31

Jediism is the dominant religion in Fanatika. If you wish, you can take control of the branch. I will not come in and force you to do things my way. I will be too busy with Fanatika. Even though I don't believe in worshiping fruit, no one relly knows if the Force is controlled by itself. This means that the relion itself does not directly conflict with Apolytonion belief.

Aggie · September 28, 2002, 20:54

Perhaps I will consider joining this new religion, if people get upset I can send my knights to open their eyes or if that doesn't work open there head, ie they can worship our god or meet theirs.

disorganizer · September 30, 2002, 03:14

I would propose recruiting at minimum one apolytonian jedi master (maybe even with accelerated promotion). That apolytonian master can then lead the apolytonian branch of the council.

Zarn · September 30, 2002, 20:17

Good idea dis. That's exactly what I have in mind. Rendelnep and Aggie might have a poll to see who is the master, and who is the padawan. That is, if they are both up to it.

Arnelos · September 30, 2002, 20:23

Where's Duddha? He said that if we were going to play a multiplayer civ3 democracy game with Civ Fanatics, he wanted to be the one to accuse people of committing treason...

I'm sure he'd have a *field day* with this thread

notyoueither · October 1, 2002, 01:31

Did someone mention Inquisition?

Duddha · October 1, 2002, 01:39

Damn foreign influences. We should withdraw from the UN.

I wonder if I could charge this group with treason against the holy Banana? I should ask Unortho, he could tell me if there was a case.

When PTW comes out this whole Democracy Game stuff is going to get a whole lot more fun.

disorganizer · October 1, 2002, 06:23

I sense something strange here.
It seems to be ... evil?... bad thoughts? ... ...
The dark side of the power seems to gain strength!

Be aware master Zarn.

NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition!!!

Zarn · October 1, 2002, 17:51

They are heretics and followers of the Dark Side! Hopefully not all of Apolytonia is full of them.

Zarn · October 3, 2002, 17:31

I would like to invite your religous leaders to join Fanatikan and Community religous people in a parade on October 12th. You can have your own portion of the parade for your religion. Here is the link to the parade http://forums.civfanatics.com/showth...threadid=33280
