Oh. I like your paintball idea. Interest from you in mine and interest from me in yours. Equivalent exchange!


Well then. I created the interest thread, if anyone is interested:

I misread as 1868 and thought "perhaps another defenestration?" :P Defenestration in 1968 is fine too though.

Picking up from what I left off for my Alternative history/Fantasy Majapahit Empire, now movin' on to the religious aspects of the Nusantara~.

Should my Majapahit Empire remained Hindu or Islamic (gradually become one, thanks to the Muslim conversion of Majapahit royalty)? Or maybe better yet a syncretic (hybrid) Hindu-Islamic society, as in picking the best of both faiths into a unique one?

Considering that Majapahit can stay strong and stable (kind of) I think they will be able to stay Hindu, with few of their vassals converted into Islam.

Ya. It could probably can happen, a highly likely scenario than trying to convert the entire Majapahit into a Muslim one.

I'm not saying it is impossible to convert Majapahit into Muslim, but if it happens, there will be plenty of unified religious rebels.

Updated version of the RP idea on the previous page. Still technically not mine but Agri's. He just wants me to do it because he's lazy and also working on World on Fire.

RP INTEREST AND FEEDBACK REQUEST
Please provide as much detail as possible.
RP's Overarching Concept: BoJack Horseman with 100% more magical girls, masquerade and monsters and 100% less memoirs and animal-headed people.
Genre/s: Magical Girl, action comedy, fantasy, grimdark comedy
Character or Faction Based: Character
Detailed Description: Characters play adult, washed-up and retired-from-the-business magical girls in southern California who had their careers in the 90s, but have since retired and moved on to jobs that pay real money outside of the Masquerade. But a new threat has appeared in SoCal. An old comrade, who actually managed to make it to the top as a magical girl in the Masquerade world, has turned evil and is preparing to attack Los Angeles in broad daylight. Now, they must take up their uniforms to join in the fight... whether they really want to (or are even still capable) or not.

Yeah, that's true. That'll be a lot of trouble. So this leaves us to Majapahit bein' majority Hindu and Muslim vassals or mixed Hindu-Islamic country then.

Lastly but not least, which of two you guys thinks it's best to go with?

I'm thinking about creating an RP where anything outdoors suddenly fell into a void, which is paradoxically filled with everything. If you go outside into this void, you will lose all memories and faint the moment you step out. Basically, its a bunch of people trying to survive and figuring out how to go outside without losing all memories.

Would anybody be interested in that RP?

Alternative Majapahit remained Hindu majority with Muslim minorities and vassals.

But as we know, Muslim is a more acceptable religion historically in Indonesia as Muslim has no caste system unlike Hindu. So mixed Hindu-Islam society is also reasonable.

Majapahit is large, and converting the entire empire into Muslim, while not impossible, will be hard.

You two made good points about it. Well, to be fair, the region isn't always Muslim. However there're cases of Muslim practices mixed in with indigenous one, depending on where in Indonesia since it's a country of many cultures after all.

Well, believe it or not, Islam is syncretically fused with Hindu, Buddhist and traditional animist elements in Indonesia. This Javanese one is an example of it.

Anyhow, after thinking things over, I've decided my Alternative History Majapahit will be a Hindu-Islamic Empire as a fair compromise. I thought it's more interesting, rather than copying off a certain Middle-Eastern states. :P

I had this idea for an RP. I still need to develop it, but the general idea is that something is going to happen after a certain amount of time. A group of people go back in time to prevent the disastrous event. The two mechanics are that they can create duplicates of themselves by going back in time to previous events, but none of them can know of the other time traveler's existence. Single-timeline RP.
