Or any worse than many other religions,as a matter of fact it would probably be a better religiion than most as it would have the advantage of not being started by a total lunatic as many religions were started by.Just be sure to keep the 10% tithe of some religions to cover”operating” costs,lol.

I love the role play as time traveler idea. That must have been fun! Like an in-Home John Titor…hope I run into you while youre in that guise :>

Every once in a long while in Home, I’ll don my older wise man avatar and walk around the CP praising the merits of Quackzacoatl, the Mallard God. While the bemused onlooker can be very amusing, I’ve been pleasantly suprised at the amount of people who were willing to play along.

Perhaps, if i can find enough people, we can have the first religion indigenous to Home. Hmmmmmmm…couldn’t be any worse than the bomb worshippers from one of the old Planet of the Apes movies.

Having fun and being creative definitely makes for a better Home experience. Great advice!
As with Homelings, Rule #1 IS to have fun. After all… if you’re not having fun, why are you there?
Oh, and by the way -- Nos never has a bad hair day in Home, either

Great article Olivia. There are many people who are new at not only Home but at developing relationships with total strangers. Many people have friends in their real lives who they met through others or through family, but still lack the social skills to reach out and find new friends on their own. I think some of your ideas are good ice breakers and I totally agree that new people need a helping hand with Home as it can be a bit overwhelming with not only social but the technical stuff to learn as well. I am still learning new tech stuff after being here for 18 months or more. Good job.
