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.

"You sir, are an idealistic idiot that will get a bunch of my subjects killed before this is all over. Why should I not turn you over to the alldivines?"

[omada]

"Do you plan to evangelize people? How?"

[Prophet]

"What are your views on magic, supernatural things, and fanciful beings?" [Don't want another Damed after all.]

[He has already made his case clear that he doesn't plan to cause trouble with us. The others better learn to play nice if we say he is fine otherwise they'll end up the way of Aethlad. Because we don't much like our subjects defying our decisions and the Alldivines are already on thin ice.]

From back when:

It was this era of strife and instability that religion became once more dominant, and the recent arrival of Path of Alldivine warrior-priests shook the traditional faiths. A notion started by a ex-soldier turned philosopher, the Alldivines saw all various deities of various pantheons as 'concepts' that were divine and worthy of praise no matter their origin, . . .

So far it sounds like Alldivinism version 2.0 1.5 – even down to the ex-soldier turned philosopher.

"Pardon my abstruseness, but I'm having a hard time understanding just how all this is different from Alldivine philosophy. Why are they so upset with you?"

You know, we recently have had some potential trouble with the Alldivine Cloisters. What stops us from just handing them over to them, so we can stop worrying about them for a while?

At some point we should ask "What can your movement offer me and Methiant, specifically, to justify the risk to my people that it would pose to offer you safe haven here?"

If this guy gets Martyrd, It could make is faithful even more powerful. If he has to die, I'd rather us have nothing to do with it at all.

What stops the Alldivines from thinking they can get whatever they want when they threaten us? This guy at least doesn't seem to be so martially inclined. If he splits off some of their adherents he weakens the power of the Cloisters. Thus my asking for clarification on their actual dispute. Is it something we can use, either by mending or by wedging?

+1 also useful to find out.

"Pardon my abstruseness, but I'm having a hard time understanding just how all this is different from Alldivine philosophy. Why are they so upset with you?"

"It is because I threaten a core tenet of their faith; development of body and honing martial skills being a requirement for spiritual advancement. It is one of their seven sacred laws. For us to promote spiritual advancement without equal devotion to one's body and combat skills is heretical to them."

You decide to...

A) Ask another question.
B) Pass your judgement.

[Prophet]

"What are your beliefs regarding the afterlife?"

[Baffler]

B. I think we've learned all we need to, and personally I see no harm in letting him and his followers spread their message. I'd rather have these guys than the Alldivines for a minority religion, even. They seem like they could make less trouble, and we haven't hired the monks in ages.

[mightymushroom]

A to re-nominate this. Dwarves are probably out, but we might want another try at the Hurthlings and anything else that shows up. Plus not to be burned at the stake by an angry mob for seeking a wizard.

Ill back this.
