A note to those Orthodox nations I have contacted re: the Patriarch. If you want to send your metropolitan or other high priest to vote on a patriarch, then send your delgate to Samara, and the Court of the Golden Horde.

Thank you.

Wasa, I don't want to play in this game any more as any country. There are so many fundamental flaws in the basic game system that it to me detracts from the ability to RP properly.

(Edited for grammar.)

Wolfie before you ride on into the sunset can you tell me some of the things you don't like about the system.

This may be a short list or a long one but it helps us to make sure the game is as good as it can be.

Why would we vote on the Patriarch? He is appointed in constantinopol, so Byzantium gets it no matter what.

Stormbringer- Sure, ONE Patriarch is... And I'm sure the pope said, "Where's Avignon?"

Because of the split in the church. I imagine that much of the Russians no longer recognize the Patriarch, since the League has declared war on most of orthodoxy. Ivan Dmitri certainly doesn't like what's going down...

Yes that would help. It would help both this RPG and the one under construction.
If its a long list then PM me or LUD for an e-mail addy please

I would like approval to play the game as the head of albania
I was apporved a couple of weeks ago for the Duchy of Athens but I went on vaction and never sent the nessasarry information to Bloody American and now Athens is taken so I am going through the steps again

 

[Stormbringer]

the patriarch, just like the pope, cannot be chosen by anyone. It is the head of church in constantinopol and noone can chose him. It does not matter if someone is unhappy with him, he is still the patriarch

 

[Bagricula]

The Orthodox church is far less centralized than the Catholic church...in fact, there are a number of important Patriarchs...one in Antioch, one in Alexandria, one in Jerusalem(Still?), and of course one in Constantinople...they also recognize the Patriarch of the West as being the Pope in Rome. In fact, theoretically, the Pope is given great respect as the 'Patriarch of the Patriarchs" so to speak. The bone between them is this...in the Eastern Orthodox church, to a great degree the individual Patriarch's appoint their own bishops for their area...I think there's some similar person up in Russia...not to clear there...I know there's a Russian patriarch today, though he's not one of the original five.

Ok. But when you get going, it's normaly accepted that you post your departure when off on vacation to the Mods. No worries this time, off course, but best to say so the others can read it too

Welcome ... Albania is free so......

Please once again visit the National Statistics thread and make a post informing our resident Nat Stats man Bloody American what your new nation is and also what name you have chosen for it's head of state. Now you're ready to post your stupendous court thread!

Please adopt the avatar of the realm you've been granted, to help other players to recognise which nation you're now playing.




Now to other stuff..

Take the patriarch debate to the asylum ....huh? Unless KW, Lud, experianced players, or myself can give a definitive answer to any question in one post, things like this should be chatted about there.

Thanks

Paul

letter from the patriarch

Grand Princess Alexandra. You are commanded to come to Constantinople to answer charges of heresy. A synod has been called to deal with the matter. If you attempted subversion of the orthodox church in your realm, you will be punished. Not attending will be considered a admission of guilt and treated as such. We would like to wrap these matters up as quickly as possible.

The Princess stands at the Kremlin before her people dressed in grand suits of Armor.

My people!The Holy See in Constantinople has utterly ripped off the yoke of Jesus Christ! The twisted man currently claiming the title, dares to try me your leader for heresy? Then he ignores the other Princes and their siding with Muhammed?This saddens everyone, and makes everyone lose faith in the current Church. Should we turn our backs on Poland, Lithuania, Livonia, and Denmark because they are Catholic? Or should the other Russian Princes break off the yoke of Islam?You pick. I chose the later. This is quite absurd! I am willing to fight and die before you for God and nation, now he wants me to go their to be tried for something I haven't commited? How foolish! We will not comply, and from here on out Metropolitan Sergius will lead our own Patriarchate in Moskva! Let this be forever, for us and for all of the Orthdox Russians! The Greeks have betrayed us, and shivered in the face of Islam! Let us unite a Church under God, apart from corruption, to last forever on these grounds in Moskva for all of Rus' and Russians!Let us celebrate! God bless Muscovy!

After the speach she retires, only to here millions shout for God and applaud the new Church.

Moskva has created a separate Patriarchate under the corruption of the old. They have created one for all of Russia, and will not stand to be pushed around be a coward fearing Islam...

 

[Stormbringer]

Novgorod joins the new Patriarchate in Moskva, because the old one is currupt and sided with the horde

 

[unmerged(6324)]

Moskva's Patriarchate is led by his Holiness Sergius Rublev

 

[Stormbringer]

Issyidor arives in Moskva,

"Your holines,
We understand the need for the new Patriarchate, and the old one is currupt, and have sided with the horde in it's desisions. Novgorodian people welcome you, and we are ready to serve the new, and only true Patriarch. "

 

[unmerged(6324)]

The Holy Patriarchate of Moskva has declared anethma on all Russian Princes with the exception of Novgorod. Also they have called a crusade against all of Moskva's corrupt allies.
