Birth of A Cult

Birth of  A Cult

With Minecraft being bought by Microsoft, there isn't a better time to start blogging about it. Here's what I've done. My friend bought a realm yesterday and has invited about 15 people. Realms, for those unfamiliar with them, are essentially dedicated servers that can be purchased for a monthly fee (a newer feature). Over the course of the next few weeks I intend to start a cult on this server.

As with all Cults, I needed to start with a church.

I have begun my religion in a small, unassuming valley, just East of our spawn. The church had to be large enough to be seen from spawn, and fancy enough to attract wealthy patrons (or children with small attention spans).

Second, I needed to pick a deity...

And naturally, that deity is The Almighty Cyclops. I wanted a falcon, but as it turns out, building idols shaped like falcons is a lot harder than miniature cyclopses (Cyclopsees? What in the hell is the plural of cyclops?).

Thirdly, I needed to start taking resources from other players. To best accomplish this I thought pews and a donation box would serve. Now I just have to find some patrons for my church.

This is just the beginning, I will continue to update with more pictures and tales as the server begins to fill up. The Church of Cyclops is well on its way to becoming a super power, now all that's left to do is wait... and build hundreds of creepy idols throughout the valley....

More to come!
