An Opportunity for an active region to cash in.

Postby Flemingovia » Tue Feb 04, 2014 2:11 am

Over the past few years one of the most culturally vibrant areas of life in The North Pacific has been around the religion of Flemingovianism.

TNP has received through this many benefits over the years (clickies so you can check it out):

A temple,
A religious court – the Fiqh – for arbitration of civil complaints. Since the TNP courts are so piss-poor, this was a welcome addition to regional life.
A growing canon of scripture, which provided an ongoing commentary on the region’s life.
A hymn book, now containing over five pages of hymns, again providing a humourous and at times poignant running commentary on regional life. (this is the most fun bit)
An unexpurgated hymn book, for those hymns for which viewer discretion is advised.
Plus other casual writings, which in the past have included “fifty shades of UDL” (an erotic novel) and “Alice in Northpacificland”.

However, fair disclosure, Flemingovianism has not been without controversy. It has ruffled feathers, and for a time the Temple of Flemingovia was closed down by the Root Administrator. There has been opposition ... but that has just added to the activity and vibrancy of the project.

I think Flemingovianism has outgrown the possibilities for development in TNP, and I am looking for another region to which to move the headquarters – and the activity – of Flemingovianism.

I have generally been focussed on TNP, so I do not know what is out there. What I am looking for is a large, active region (feeder or otherwise) that can see the possibilities in having a religion associated with their region. Somewhere which is not afraid of roleplay and which, in time, might be interested in having Flemingovianism as the state religion (a step the North Pacific has rejected).
What would you get?

Well … me for a starter. I am an active player, been playing Nationstates for ten years, and I have been described as one of the more creative and imaginative players around. I will still have admin and other duties in TNP; but for as much time as I can give, I am yours.
The Headquarters of Flemingovianism in your region, with hymns, scriptures, etc.
So if you are interested ….. post in reply. I know this is a bit unusual, but since I do not know a lot about the wider NS world, this seemed the best way to look for a new home.

So, post if you are interested. No wasters, please. But if you already have a forum life that could see possibilities in this project, give me a call.

Do I need to make popcorn, sit back and watch? Or should I comission the building a cathedral next to the Church of Westwind Tabernacle?

The Church of Westwind shares harmonious relationships with the Church of Equilism (Saint Westwind), The E-leusian Mysteries (Elemental Oracle) and the Ordo Herticus (The Architect).

There is truth in the concept that NS religions are underutilized and have interesting potentials on multiple levels for gameplay.

Now now Bodobol, you know that religion is the opiate of the masses. In Lazarus we worship only the hard work of the proletariat :P

In all seriousness, I'm sure we'd love to have you. Can't say much about an established religion, but it'd be damn fun to RP how that would fit in with a thematically socialist state. Also, given that we seem to have a lot of RPers (including some prominent ones), and others like myself who just enjoy putting an RP-like spin on 'serious' stuff like the news, its a fun place. I'll put a word in with some others to see what they say

There may be possibilities in Lazarus. I can feel a bout of creative writing coming on. How about a script for Despicable Milo 3?

Every time Buddhism rose in China over Confucianism, a dynasty was toppled.
