Role-playing (stoot barfield approved)

I noticed that there was a group formed for RP-lite (Kingdom of Ur + affiliate groups), but I was wondering if there is any space either within the Kingdom of Ur or apart from it for another group. One devoted to role-playing devotion to the Giants, but not in the vein of The Church of the True Order of Ur.

I propose, if there is enough interest, to make an RP-lite group called The Orthodox Church of the Giants of Ur

The Orthodox Church of the Giants of Ur  is a communion comprising the eleven separate autocephalous hierarchical churches, commonly referred to as The Hendarchy, that recognize each other as Canonical Orthodox Churches of the Giants. 

Dibs on the Patriarchy of Lem!

  • Yes, a private group means we'd only be able to apply here, right?

  • Wait... you mean you can't apply to the group direct? It's not invite only
    Posted 14 months ago by Mal'akh Subscriber! | Permalink
  • It is listed as an invite -only group.

  • RPing on this game would be amazing!!
    Posted 14 months ago by Sykozen Subscriber! | Permalink
  • There! Now it's an open group. Whew!

    If you want to claim a primacy, just leave a message in the appropriate group forum discussion. Only 8 primacies remain.

    Just remember: with great power comes great responsibility.

  • Can it  be named something other than Orthodox Church of Ur?  I am Orthodox (Orthodox Church of America), and that just kind of seems..........i dont know, creepy and weird.   Sorry, I am definitely not trying to tell you what to do, or anything like that.  It just seemed weird to me.

    ;)

  • "Orthodoxy" just means the "right" or "true" belief.

    There are a lot of orthodox communities around the world, not only Christian ones.
    Posted 14 months ago by Louis Louisson Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Well... the group has been created already. Twice even!

    I'm sorry if it makes you uncomfortable, but the term Orthodox just makes sense especially as compared to The Church of the True Order of Ur.

    =(

    I hope you would still consider joining us though.

  • is it possible to rename groups?
    Posted 14 months ago by Lara Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Actually if it were possible I just might, but I don't think you can.

    Maybe a Dev can?
    Posted 14 months ago by Mal'akh Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Oh Wait! You CAN change the name... I am open to suggestions!
    Posted 14 months ago by Mal'akh Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Such a great idea, I'm in!
    Posted 14 months ago by Reihox Subscriber! | Permalink
  • There's no reason not to stick with the name as it is.  If someone is offended by the word Orthodox, they don't know what it means.  It's certainly not limited to only one religion, it's just an adjective.
    Posted 14 months ago by DJ Plaid Subscriber! | Permalink
  • DJ, I am not offended.....I said I am Orthodox. I guess you dont realize there actually is an Orthodox Church of America?  Please read what I said.  I just found it kind of creepy, and was not meaning to ask him to actually go back and change, seeing as I didnt realize he had already made the group.  Its already made, and its no big deal.  Its just so close to OCA that I found it odd.

  • Relax guys. =)

    I am open to suggestions for a new name, just make it a cool one.

    EDIT: Actually, why don't we just call it The Hendarchy? Since I did mention that it is commonly referred to as that.

  • Oh dear - I hadn't really advertised it yet, but I had started a group (in preparation for group halls) called the First Schismatic Restoration Orthodox Church of Humbaba - but now with a more official set of Orthodox churches starting, and Humbaba already claimed, should I dissolve it (the only members are me and my fiance anyway!)? Or would you be okay with competing churches? :)
    Posted 14 months ago by Timithias Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Well sure there's an Orthodox Church of America.  There's also a Greek Orthodox Church and a Russian Orthodox church and probably more that I've never heard of. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthodoxy

  • Timithias, your church is schismatic so you can still continue with your group. Liase with the Primate of Humbaba since you're schismatic with them. ^_^

    Join the group anyway and create a thread for your schismatic group.
    Posted 14 months ago by Mal'akh Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I like the idea of competing churches.

    Then again, we don't know how many people will join the whole roleplaying idea, and it would be a pity to end up with tiny seperate groups which cannot sustain themselves.
    Posted 14 months ago by Louis Louisson Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Hmmm... The Primate of Alph speaks wisdom.

    You can also opt to dissolve your group and just re-form it as a schismatic group within The Hendarchy.

  • If anything, I think it'd be better if everyone STARTED in one group: if someone wants to split from there, it'd make more sense RP-wise.

    But nothing is forcing anyone to follow that :)
    Posted 14 months ago by Reihox Subscriber! | Permalink
  • ironically, 'schismatic' suggests that it would split from the main church anyway :).

  • Ooh... does this mean I can pay even MORE homage to Zille? :D
    Posted 14 months ago by Little Miss Giggles Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Little Miss Giggles, behold The Primacy of Zille.
    Posted 14 months ago by Mal'akh Subscriber! | Permalink
  • This is an excellent idea! I've been thinking along the same lines ever since I read that Stoot basically wants us to proselytize to each other.

    By the way is something wrong with the groups page? I could see all the discussions but now I can't.

  • I am re-organizing the group to provide for any schismatic groups that might want to join
    Posted 14 months ago by Mal'akh Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Try again now
    Posted 14 months ago by Mal'akh Subscriber! | Permalink
  • We're now only lacking the Primate of Mab. ^_^
    Posted 14 months ago by Mal'akh Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Sorry for the inactivity, will try to boost the group somehow and will redo currency with checks backed by my money.

  • Oh IT IS sorry, I got Ur Empire mixed with Kingdom of Ur because that's what it's name used to be... sorry!

  • I want to make a church to that giant head guy that watches you stomp grapes in hell.. :D

  • Heretic!
    Posted 14 months ago by dr_loplop Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I'd join that,, ObliviOni! If only we knew what he is called..

  • There is also a role-playing group for those who see the Rook for its true wisdom despite their dwindling numbers throughout all of Ur. We seek to preserve the population that is left of our misunderstood ebony brethren (without griefing, of course), and we also aim to glorify its darkness so that we may enjoy what is light and good more than before.

    Join The Rookist Colony so that hand-in-hand, we may all wonder and bestow favor upon this most rare and salient  of creatures.

  • We need more discordian action here. I think maybe later today I may form a Church of the True Order of Double Cheese. Is anybody else interested in forming the Church of the True Order of Extra Pepperoni?

    Praise Bob. Supersize your reality.

  • @ObliviOni @Mandy23 I think that might be Friendly?  His page implies that he's the keeper of Hell, amongst many other things.
