NEW VISION
I had a disturbing vision again, the GREAT BANANA has blessed us again. HERE it is, cover the children's ears, the other contries are not human at all, they are controlled by something called AI, which stands for alien intelligence. Apparentlly this "AI" has taken over everybody else and made them its slaves, a fate truly worse than death. If you have any doubts of this take over look at the feelings of the world change toward us, a few short years ago they were annoyed but still human, but now they are either polite and love us or they hate us. This is WEIRD. Thats all for now perhaps they GREAT BANANA will tell us more of the truth soon.

Aggie you have to consider leading a small faction of the ARMS movement into politics, without political representation it will be difficult to spread our message about the superior Apolyton race, and the end of days the Great Bananna will bring and how only those that toil and work for the nation will go on to join the Great Bananna in the heavens. We don't want to solely be fanatics, we have to have a political voice as well. Prophet, master you can understand this surely.

Your flaw is that you love too much, aggie; that is why you would bring such death and destruction on the world.

The Great Banana does not want so many forced converts, nor will any converts you drag out of Germany be anything but; they will simply be desperate people, clinging to whatever a conqueror - a twisted conqueror, in this case - says. Give them food, homes, and jobs; let them be shown the strength of the Apolytonian nation, and the many blessings of the Great Banana. Only then will they see the light; only then can they die prepared.

Riding on a wave of blood is not the way to enter The Great Jungle; such only brings grief to the afterlife, and anger to He Who is Never Peeled. Nor does the Great Banana desire converts who believe in order to be fed scraps of bread, which is what your missionaries will undoubtedly do.

Friends why do you question the words of the prophet, over the last few days he has been plagued by visions, cold nights alone and struggles none of us could even imagine, a beautiful mind torn apart.
These foriegners are not people like you treat them to be but are animals, technologically backward, living in slums, they are genetically and mentally inferior. The DIA and Labour may be willing to harbor this drain on the economy, but I support the burning of such slums, such as what took place in Hamburg. The gods gave Apolyton the right and the method to become the sole race and nation on this fair planet, and now we have to take it or all the world will suffer the Great Banannas wrath.

There HAS been talk on the Roleplay forums about eventually doing this... but we're going to need monotheism before we have catholicism and probably need ot have printing press before there's a reformation to have a counter-reformation and an inquisition to quell (along with what's left of the moors from the reconquista, etc.).



oh, and trust me, that particular sketch was already quoted on our internal forums (by myself, actually... though History Guy I think also quoted it )

Kloreep, I heavily concur with your statements on this issue. The Great Banana is not the bloodthirsty devil that these blasphemers have accused it of being. Their preaching of death and destruction is nothing short of an attempt to libel the Great Banana!

Perhaps there is hope that although the DIA and the Labor Party disagree on many an issue, this is (at least) one upon which these lunatics are so beyond the pail that we can see eye-to-eye...

What sort of inhuman slime are these blasphemers of the enlightened Great Banana that they would claim that the BUTCHERY OF HAMBURG was in any manner condoned by the teachings of the Great Banana.

This is a simply intollerable libel of the teachings of the Great Banana!

Indeed (btw... this really happened), while I do not claim to be a prophet, the Great Banana did surely let me know of his wrath for the Butchery of Hamburg when all the world around us turned black and dark and the Great Banana, surely in his anger at being so ill-served, threatened to destroy all the world! If you do not believe me, please feel free to check out the official record (blow-by-blow) posted by SMC E_T of the statements made by officials of the government and members of the Senate present for the execution of military policies in the German war recently!

[out-of-character]

My screen really did go totally black when I executed the order of E_T to abandon the city of Hamburg in the Butchery of Hamburg. My computer gave all the signs that it was about to crash and we would lose a portion of that turns events. No doubt the Great Banana was, in reality, letting its anger be known for the actions of Supreme Military Commander E_T in defaming the good name of the Great Banana...

Only those who only pretend to have a true fear of the Great Banana would argue that this event (witnessed by all) was anything other than what I have said - a threat by the Great Banana that if we should continue with such blasphemy as to commit mass murder in his name, he will take back what was given... our empire, our prosperity, our very lives!

Why do the unbelievers insist on attacking the GREAT BANANA's Prophet and even imply that he endorsed the death at hamburg, truly he did want the people of hamburg to enter our nation and for the record no deciples of the GREAT BANANA were present during those dark hours when hamburg died, but now it has been reveled that Hamburg did not die. The people were scared due to the german propoganda but apparently they DIDN"T kill themselves. The just left so they could escape the mind control and slavery of the AI. The buring that we thought was their destruction was just the destruction of their slums. Saddly attacking me isn't enough for the unbelievers, they also attack my assistant and scribe Nolan. All Nolan said was that we should burn the slums of Hamburg and that was good. For we must destroy those horrid buildings so we can build the houses that those poor suffering people deserve to live in. Even now those great houses are being built in Howitzerville, different name but the same city. The people didn't die they just went into the hills to hide until they know it is safe. Soon these people will come back and live in the glorious houses we build, and their love for us is so great that they will call themselves apolytons and not germans. This is truly good news. Once again the truth win outs.

I have walked the streets of Apolyton for 28 years, and today I have found my likes in this world.
Please, let me join you!

I have for many years meditated upon the religious signs the GREAT BANANA has endorsed upon me.

Aggie! Please let me follow you and teach the people of Apolyton where their home is and share your vision about the evil AI's that control the non-free world.

If there is a church in Aggie's name, war-hero or not, I will oppose it. I have walked the hallways of the great palace of Apolyton with Aggie, and have known him as my friend. Whether he is a prophet or not is of no concern, but a church/party/religion in his name is surely blasphemous. He would agree with me.

These are hilarious names for a religious group.
all these names are excellent. Though for the record all names must remember I am but the prophet, not the God. The center of our religion has been and must be the GREAT BANANA(though we all agree CASH is a good name for many religions, especially the ones I make fun of(televanglist)). Skywalker, I have tried to figure a good way to bring in 1984 into this religion, I guess maybe if we got the shadow service in as"security " that could work(they are currently unemployed since our president disbanded them, and it hurts me to see them not being given an honorable retirement). We could have BIG AGGIE is watching you, for everybodies own good of course
Maybe when there is TV everybody must have 30min of aggie lead prayers before work, and we know who doesn't participate, I see lots of avenue for rp here. Now we just need a minister or other leader to have a conversion.

Yet tell me one thing, why are these mad pagans from the DIA and Labour so determined to question our sound and fair judgement, the improvement of our culture, which rules above all others should be our foremost concern, yet they make us sound like madmen, these people lack vision, perhaps we should find methods of ...... persuation

Don't assume that the ALP outright opposes the religious zealots that have risen up throughout our nation. As Chairman of the Party I have been watching from the sidelines as my friend, the self-declared great Prophet Aggie, has been tormented by visions and signs. Though I myself do not completely understand his "awakening", I do wish him good health. I fear though, that only a terrible death awaits him, for there are those who would seek the persecution of his band of religious 'polynists.

There are also those who would seek to use the special forces of Apolytonia, the Shadow Service, for their own personal gain. I disprove strongly in this. The Shadow-agents have been in dire times as of late; with the recent advent of war, my agents have been sent to Rome to find and capture Caesar himself, alive if possible. But they have run into great difficulty. The Roman secret service is quite formidable, and my agents have barely eluded capture more than I'd like to admit. Not to mention they are my private bodyguard now that the DIA has threatened my life with snipers.

Any request of the Shadow Service must be sent to me. I will not allow my agents to become puppets in an uprising.

Fair Meshelic, I can understand what you are saying, there is a time of wild political dissent, I feel that the people are rising against the DIA's stranglehold on power, and I thank you and the Labour party for starting this movement, yet all the various groups are fractured, and it is becoming a forum for some more and more extreme views. The only views I support come from the Great Bananna and his voice on earth Aggie. I fear a foul wind coming, yet I am making arrangements as we speak to help, shall I say, level things out

Dark days are indeed upon us, Meshelic...

Given statements earlier in this very thread, we have to assume that many, if not all, of the members of this "fanatical" movement are spies from Fanatica!!!

We must watch them closely to see if they let slip any other suggestions of their true nature... spies of the fanatical regime which we must one day face in battle (the multi-site PTW demogame ).

In the spirit of Cato the Elder...
