Yay or Nay?

[Rudo]

I've actually had an idea for a church, but there'd have to be a good deal of background RP and screening of prospective members before going ahead. Also, it'd be wholly offensive to most people here.

Sirius Holy Church of the Crusader

The motif would be old-style Catholic. Half Crusades, half Spanish Inquisition.

Roving packs of 'Paladins' would deal out rhetoric and mangled psalms while dispensing the will of the Almighty on sinners. Individuals saved by His work would be asked politely to administer a tithe. Captured 'sinners' (likely NPCs unless someone is willing to risk a character like this) would be put to the torch on a weekly pirate broadcast, with charges read and a sizeable donation to the Church asked for, akin to a telethon.

If the donation is not met, the individual goes free.
If the goal is met... it gets nasty, on public broadcast.



That's the basic premise, really. In practice it could be roleplayed to the hilt and would still be painted as an excuse to pvpwhore.
