Mind-bogglingly popular game series that you follow from early on and cannot stop, waiting for new installment like a drooling addict.

Long-runner soap opera you're too invested into to just stop watching it.

A fun little comic strip in the daily newspaper that's been around forever.

3/6

Who said it's fun? I didn't for sure.

I'm just waiting here for it to die horribly already so it will stop showing on my Unread Posts list.

If we're honest we might be able to afford to get rid of the tax, but like hell are we giving in to mob rule.

You send your trusted Shadowranks to help the city guard to deal with the rioters, while you proclaim to your courtiers that you will never, NEVER give in to the demands of the rioting scum!

Less than hour later, some courtiers wish to meet with you to discuss something important in one of smaller chambers.

When you arrive there with two of your Shadowranks' guards, the eight noblemen draw their swords at you!

"You will bring our nation to ruin! Die, foul Emperor!" They charge you and your guards, the latter drawing their swords to protect you!

It seems you've gotta...

A) Run!
B) Fight!

B. We're fat, so we can't run. But we're fat, so it's going to take them work to kill us!

EDIT: After this we will vote to burn temples rather than pay for renovations.

I don't think we actually lose the game unless we pend a year with zero of any rating, or if we royally fuck up as in the time we were a minor noble, then a major noble, then a dead noble.
So... Theocray, anyone?

Honestly, these religions can't handle religious tolerance. I think the path forward after this is to simply suppress all religions continuously. They have repeatedly show that they are not mature enough to handle a position of authority and influence.

[Prophet]

B Well shit. Also I think attempting to alienate and suppress every religion at the same time well end horribly. I'm thinking that we rein in the Pantheonist and subjugate them to our will. Cause it seems to me that the religions of the Empire have become to independent and willful under our tolerant rule. I like Pantheonism and support it but we are the Emperor and this is our Empire.

[Lucus Casius]

B.  Religious tolerance has always been a fool's game, really.  Need to end that and establish a state church derived from one of em with us at the head, really.  Assuming we survive.

[Kashyyk]

I just realised something: if we revoke the Religious Tolerance edict we will no longer have to tolerate their bullshit.

[Imic]

I don't like the look of the discourse here...

[Haspen]

You draw your sword out and fight!

Unfortunately, you tire easily, and after your guards are screwed from numerical disadvantage, you soon fall victim to vicious stabbings of 54 times.

1172 AD, Few days later

You are Bjern, son of Yoe III!

In the chaos that ensued after your father's assasination, the Pantheonists quickly took control of the capital. The Shadowranks have been pulverized except few turncoats. Delegation of Pantheonist clerics have just arrived in the palace. Riots however continue elsewhere, smoldering away the glory that was Methiant.

They, and large percentage of the court, is here to oversee your ascension to the throne of Methiant. Your family is in their chambers and loyalist nobles are under guard. Moderates and religious zealots together make for the court present at audience room.

They're also here to have you sign the documents if you wish to rule. You have to Revoke Religion Tax, and Revoke Religious Tolerance Edict. Because of differences between nobility and priests, reason and zealotry (and usual pettiness of men), no one is pushing you to establish Pantheonism as state religion, nor to pay any amenities or donate to altars.

They're sure that, once your family sees the errors of heathen faiths, you will naturally proclaim Pantheon as the true and only religion of Methiant, and will happily donate to the altars of your newest friends and allies - the Pantheonists.

A) Sign the papers.
B) Flip them the bird.*
