An Arx Peeve Thread

Testament

@farfalla I once played with someone who played a rather high level character within the nobility that stated that the character was ‘an atheist’ because so far, the concept of honor and fidelity only seemed to be followed by the peerage only when it was convenient for them.

At the time, and if I recall, this was literal years ago, that it was some kind of observation or dig at Christianity only being followed by it’s believers when again, doctrine lined up with their opinions to allow them to do so.

I understood the sentiment, even if I don’t think it was rather appropriate for the theme of the game.

I turned my rabble rabble into a temporary spurt of during-illness productivity and posted the FAQ we made, at least.

BloodAngel

@sao Thank you for that guide!

sao

@BloodAngel thank @Narson and @Roz and whoever else worked on it when it was a gdoc! I had it floating out there for a bit.

BloodAngel

@sao Thank you to all those that helped. It is a great resource for quick reference!

@sao said in An Arx Peeve Thread:

If you are a prodigal, you had to accept the Faith of the Pantheon in order to bend the knee, it was a condition of you and your people not getting brutally killed.

That means that publicly professing that you don’t understand the religion is probably not a great idea politically since it’s the only thing separating you from being a dirty shav.

SIGH.

This is why whenever religion comes up I make a point of going ‘CHARACTER does things proper-like, as a Theology 5 person would do, PLAYER is dumb and knows nothing!’ and also spend like half an hour digging through the lore sections on faith between poses, lest I accidentally mix up one god or another.

sao

@Jennkryst well, now you have a quick reference guide on the player wiki at least

Jennkryst

@sao BOLD OF YOU to assume I remember the player wiki exists! (I mean, it’s easier to search, but I still never find whatever I’m looking for there. Maybe I’ll give it another glance at some point soon!)

sao

@Jennkryst I posted it to the OOC Stuff board!

Narson

It was a really fun FAQ to read through. Hopepfully it makes Faith/Godsworn more accessible to people. A good outcome of the new board (as the idea came up here!)

Solstice

I look forward to checking it out. Faith is generally the least interesting topic for me IRL, so there was an auto-immune response to sifting through so much of it on Arx.

I’ve avoided doing it wrong by engaging with it as little as possible, and that’s not really my preference!

So thanks for this.

sao

@Solstice Hilariously this is how I started out the game and NOW look at me.

I love the Faith! I keep trying to sneak back in as a priest but it hasn’t worked out yet.

sao

@Snackness We’re super happy to have you back on the channel at least.

Now when cron runs, I’m sure to find something totally unrelated. Or maybe it is super related? Who can say!

Roz

Jennkryst

@Roz Oh?

How you doin

Rowan

Will there be Staff GM’'d events held for players that don’t or can’t play in EST timezone?
