I wouldn't be surprised, but it would probably take more than a parking meter and a ton of luxuries to fool us...
I shot him back first. That is to say, I read his mind and fired before he would have fired on me. No, sir, he wasn't a fugitive.

Which already exists for ages. Or do you think Hesperus invented the Church of Giles the Creator (CGC) here on the spot?
Can't remember all the OXP's I have downloaded and installed (Yes, got it). But considering we now have, Commies, Anarchies and soon Fudal I hope, I think there is a lot more potential in Missionaries. Would like to explore this one, but haven't written a line of code since 1997, so the only thing I can come up with are good bad ideas.

No problem. That it already exists doesn't mean that it's a bad idea. Quite the contrary, it seems! :wink:

Given that this thread has taken something of a theological turn, I would like the opportunity to put a question or two to our good captain.

Would you be conducting a sermon? If so, would it be a quiet, solemn affair or a joyous celebration?
The reason I ask, is, I was wondering if it would be something along the lines of this jolly fellow, as I don't think I could endure the excitement of it all. :wink:

Oh, no. All Church of Giles sermons are 100% Guaranteed to be HELLFIRE AND DAMNATION!!!!!!*
They rend the immortal soul of the true believer of Giles' perfect Ooniverse with imprecations of what shall happen if they succumb to the False Prophet Braben and his Brabenite scriptures. For this is the <key>true</key> to the gates of Ootopia, Giles' perfect afterlife when we all have to 'Press Space, Commander.'
