online petition to end agnosticism in norrath

[pink grapefruit]

hail, adventurer. would you like to sign a petition? xD

agnosticism is the leading cause of bland gameplay and roleplayer death on the continent of antonica, and is only surpassed on faydwer by people choosing the dwarf race upon character creation. wouldn't you rather be a super cool rain worshipper than a boring agnostic? climate change is happening and we're all gonna die horrible deaths... except for those karana deems worthy of living in his futuristic post-florida utopia.

did you even know you could play as a bertoxxulous worshipping half elf? why would you not, now that you do know? that's cool af; an evil elf xD

plz sign, and commit to a better future for green. innoruuk enchanters are all the rage rn <3

I can't think of any religious crusade that hasn't involved bloodshed.
That being said I hate this thread and I hate everyone who posts in it.
My hate for all of you gives me power.

I don't think of someone on Norrath actually being agnostic (not believing in a god). I like to think it's the character's way of choosing not to worship one for whatever reason.

This guy's character won't worship a deity!

I cast Clinging Darkness on him!

may cazic thule's love shine upon u <333

praise be :)

[Gustoo]

It's one of the things that would be built out in a sick custom content vanilla continents only eq emulator.

[Wenai]

Wait. Are you inciting a genocide of non-believers?

[Jimjam]

Choosing a deity eeally helps to inform me how to play a character. Whether a plucky halfling warrior desparate to earn favour with Zek's purest creations (the storm giants), a dour hermit ranger who is out all weather and carries the wrath of a storm, or a wizard of Erollisi Marr that lovingly euthenises monstrous creatures to end their pitiful lives of suffering.

Not making any classes that can choose agnostic as an option at least to the beginning of green so irrelevant atm

[solleks]

cant believe brad allowed agnostic to be an option, shame on him

How popular were deities during classic?
Did people lean towards agnostic during classic?

Most people didnt even know they just chose the race and class and then the face and name and then hit enter world

I laughed out loud and woke the wife.

Yes, and most of the bloodshed was caused by agnostics pretending to be worshipers seeking coin, adventure, and personal gain.

This is an affront to many religions including the worship of Innoruuk, Cazic Thule, Rallos Zek, and Bertoxxulous. For we should be ones shedding the blood of innocents.

[Sinistria]

Innoruuk !
He must be chosen from persuasion.

Those weakling choosing not to believe in a god are doomed to hell, their hair will fall out, they will pee their pants and exp is being reduced to a quarter.

Choose agnostic and on judgment day you will be torn apart.

[Coridan]

I'd love a Sullon Zek ruleset server, or just more deity specific items. Some stuff for Erollisi, Veeshan and Sol Ro followers especially.

I chose deities all the time because they were cool. The drawings and stories about them in the prima guides and shit? Why WOULDN'T you pick one? I always had a thing for choosing Bertox and living in Qeynos killing good guards and slumming around in the aqueducts. Or being a Bertox gnome and trying to get to qeynos at level 1 for crazy-little-man roleplay in /say while refusing to kill decaying skeletons because they were spreading disease, etc.

I never understood agnosticism in EQ.

In a heavily religious world, agnostics wouldn't be tolerated by everyone, they'd be hated by everyone.

"How can you NOT appreciate and worship the power of the one true Cazic Thule? He fucking kills people just by shouting their name!"

[Baler]

wow poll is 27 to 26 as of this post.
I am quite surprised how split people are on deities vs agnostic.

Not really. You hate someone worshiping no religion more than someone worshiping a different religion? I think the faction system pretty accurately describes how it would work on earth.

Guards of Qeynos view people who worship the local "Good" deities a little better (positive mod). They have negative mods for evil deities. And for most deities not relevant in their part of the world or agnostic there is no mod.

Take another example... The Dead (Dark Elf Necro/SK guild) are religious zealots, but it's not like they're trying to convert anyone. There is huge negative bosts for opposing gods (the largest for Tunare). Even Bertox and Cazic have small negative mods. Innoruuk has a positive mod, Agnostic (as always) has no mod.

Those 26 are min maxing heathens that probably think 'rpg' stands for 'retro pixel gathering'.

Just like real life.

[Indecisive]

Thanks for the new sig, Jimjam.

[Acidreams]

I think people took the vote a little too seriously.

Non believers should be chastised and pay premiums to vendors (who are all religious as it happens) and those who denounce gods should have their reproductive organs removed and sacrificed. Let us honour the gods and we shall all be blessed in this life and the next!
