This, my friends, is the Church of Deals. We believe not in fake deities, and invisible falsehoods. No, we believe in the holiness of wealth. We believe in the right to be wealthy, and through the Church, your wealth makes you pure. For a price, of course, and at a cost to the wealth of heretics.
The Church of Deals came to be after some of the greatest merchants and pirates came together and realized how terrible the falsehoods of invisible men impacted the lives of the truly blessed. They tired of the cronies of false faiths attempting to reach into the deep pockets of their betters.
They realized what eventually every man and woman will realize. That the true righteousness belongs in the coin. The coin makes ones life better. The power of the coin is uncontested? Can the poor feed the poor? Can the penniless house the penniless? Of course not! Yet a priest would attempt to convince you that he is but a pauper, yet that he is helping the helpless? No. Any honest man must realize that he must make Deals in life, sacrifices for greater wealth, to better himself and his brood.
So came the Church of Deals. With the understanding of the power of the coin, and the importance of the Deal came the understanding of the ruthlessness that the missionary effort must take. So they took to space, with the fighter as their sword, and the space station as their shield. Only through the taking of another man’s goods and effort could they truly make him understand his indifference to the world, and the necessity of the Deal he must make.
And so the Church grew, member by member, ship by ship, cargo by cargo. And as the wealth of its member’s grew, so did its coffers. So one day, the Church could make the greatest Deal of All.
The Church of Deals hereby declares that all wealth is to be subject of Crusade. All its members shall go forth and subject the faithless to the terms of the Deal, and therefore convert them, or take from them their holy gains won through their perversion of the Church.
The Church of Deals recognizes that there are allies in the cause of wealth, and that the wealth of those allies shall be recognized as independent of the Churches intent. The faithful shall Deal in good faith with its allies, will expounding upon opportunities to involve its allies if it entails even greater monetary gain.
The Church of Deals recognizes no borders, as the borders of wealth are nonexistent, and the potential for the Deal exists everywhere.
Finally, The Church of Deals recognizes no peace with those who hoard money for individual gain independently of the Church and its allies. It declares eternal war on the selfish, and will always take great strides to bring them to justice via the Deal.
The rules of the Church of Deals are as follows:
1) Thou shalt always be active in the Church, and in space. The Church cannot be your entire life, but we will not have sloth infect our ranks.
2) Thou shalt always be cordial and polite to thine fellow members and allies. We use our superiority and wealth not as a sword to smite our own, but a shield to strengthen our ranks.
3) Thou shalt stay in communication with the Church and its members. We have an active Teamspeak. Use it.
4) Thou shalt get wealthy, and quickly, and use that wealth to smite the unbelievers.
