Ok, I just thought that it would be cool to RP the Reformation. The Rping would start on October 17, 1517 when Martin Luther nailed the 95 Theses to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenburg. The Rp would then have the RPers play as countries and sects, and they would interact accordingly. Some of the events would be set in stone (I.E. You could not RP Charles V losing to another person for the Holy Roman Emperor post, and you could not have an alliance between the Lutherans or the Calvinists and the Anti-Trinitarians, nor with the Anabaptists, nor could you create extremly radical sects, and if you want to create a new sect you woudl have to RP finding support in the Bible) however, there could be some interesting twists, such as the Calvinists gaining the upper hand against the Lutherans and gaining legality before the Lutherans.

Requirements would be that RPers have in depth knowledge of the times, and if they are creating their own sect, that they have in depth knowledge of the Bible (That means the new testament as well History Lovers, however, your sect may be based primarily in OT teachings) and the Rpers must know about the theological disputes of the times.

That's cool. I'd like to play a protestant sect that forms called "Messianism" Revert back to basic beliefs, straight from the Law that cometh from God's mouth and to the direct words of Christ. Away with that dotrine.

Yay! They can have the Jewish feasts! Feast! Feast! Feast!
