Er...quite risque? I don't have a problem with this personally, but...y'know...I don't want anyone to track you down and murder you, Elempi...

Ummm. RoboSkitt is currently disabled. Let me know if that's okay. If not, I'll delete or edit as required.

littlemanpoet: I trust that you'll be extremely careful with this. I can't stress it enough.

I'm wondering if LMP noticed the subtle reference to the band Genesis in my latest post.

Fea, I leave it to you (and Roggie) to decide what to do with the police. I'm a little stuck for ideas at the moment. I did have a rather amusing plan, but I've forgotten most of it now.

I don't see the problem with Allah-matar, though associating him with trolls may be a little scandalous. But I myself intend to introduce the Spanish Inquisition, so religious satire should be on the table, methinks.

As long as Christians are pilloried too (Illamatar doesn't count) I don't mind especially...

Jenny, could you reply to Dracomir's nasty little snipe? I'm slightly immobilised till you do...

Why doesn't Illamatar count? I always figured he was supposed to be parodying the Christian God - Fea?

"Supper's Ready". Nice touch.

Child and I have reviewed this subject. We've also taken a look at some directives from the Barrow-Wight and suggestions from the Administrator for the RPG forums.

If you wish to write about a religion which has nothing to do with any established religion - such as Trek-ism that's ok. But no established religion is to be parodied. And if someone objects to a made up religion, saying for example it is too close to making fun of some established religion, then those posts will need to be edited from the game.

I would suggest you just steer away from this subject in the long run and find another avenue to pursue.

If it's okay with everyone else, then, I'll have the Blue Istari step in and do a prime directive corrective.
