Luhood posted:And with that roleplaying out of the way, what faction needs to be in power for us to select Humanist ideas? With all of this nonsense about heathens and heretics within our borders we really need some way to erect a proper Dhimmi system to ensure they won't try to stab us the moment we look the other way. If the Merchants are in power next time an idea group rolls around, then I might go humanist. If the Ulema ever gain power, then it would be religious.

 I go with the Merchants! In spite of all reason and sense, it would seem based on our illustrious history that corruption runs rampant when the Taifas are in power as opposed to the people who's foremost concern is to make money. It boggles the mind! Only the Merchants can bring stability and order to this divided land, and refocus our efforts on where true power lies: The New World.

Merchants have been pretty stoked about his "mentioning the New World as a thing of interest" policy.

Staying with the merchants. Also, first point of order: especially after what she's done, the witch must be removed from the halls of power swiftly and permanently, permanently if necessary. We can't trust the Sultan to take decisions without consulting his accursed mother, and females and finances don't mix.

Let the Taifas carry their banners and grievances to the Sultan's mother. Let us instead ensure prosperity and strength in our territory within the Old and New worlds.

On the other hand, the country is wracked with revolts 24/7, Qadis is in desperate need of repairs, and the New World is slipping out of our fingers due to the baboons in the New Taifas squandering wealth immeasurable. We have no time for a civil war over the Sultan's esteemed mother, and that is no less than the consequences of the path you are suggesting!

 We are straight up the worst Muslims in the world right now, and Allah has punished (and continues to punish) us for it. We are sending money to CRUSADERS to stop our brothers from retaking the holy land. The Ulama are needed now more than ever.

Actually, since the merchants seem to be on track for winning control of things, I will switch my change in allegiance to the Ulama. We need to actually have a country to send the wealth of our colonies back to.

The U-llama is correct. We sent money to crusaders and the night of blood transpired because the Sultan was more interested in his spouse than in the stability of the country. No offense, O' glorious Sultan. I'm rolling with the Ulama
