Oh, I liked it too. I should have said that in the earlier post.
I really enjoyed this game.
Well done KT. (y)
Calvinists? You mean the presbyterian swiss reformation-inspired Scots?
First. 16thC doesn't come into it. The Scots and English are two seperate nations until James in 1603 and prior to that they loved having that bastard whore bess on the english throne (they're not affected by the act of uniformity). If you go back as far as Mary Tudor then Protestantism hasn't taken much hold of Scotland and they still have their own Catholic Queen.
They wouldn't have killed James or harmed his parliament, he was a protestant, and a scottish protestant at that; and once we get onto charles I and his high anglicanism going on crypto-catholicism we find that the scots and parliament are in agreement in wanting him gone.
Once they sold old charlie one up the river to the established church and parliament they were pretty much permanent buddies to puritan (later whiggish, much the same thing) England
If you are looking for real opposition to pre- or post-protectorate england then it's catholics or bust
I think that is what woofness meant
otherwise I like the flavour, but I would
Think rest assured that we don't give two shits about your country's history because we weren't there there and somewhere in the middle of it some old guys decided it sucked and started ours.
I almost edited to clarify "actual" history but I figured it was six of one, half dozen of another.
UGH alright so apparently I wasn't precise enough for Think.
16th, 17th, or 18th century for Papist assassins of members of the House of Lords.
17th century for Calvinist assassins of the members of the House of Lords.
If you say, " Well Puritans aren't quite Calvinists blah blah blah," then I'll say, "I'm not sarmt enough 2 no the diffarance "
What woofness meant was probably, "Why would modern Catholics want to kill members of the modern House of Commons?"
And your last sentence really added a lot of heady stuff to the discussion.
I was just being facetious with this whole thing anyway. I don't really care.
