Happy Eat-Mince-Pie Day

Happy Eat-Mince-Pie Day, a day that celebrates Pie in general (and mince pie's in particular). This day also a secret, hidden, meaning, soon to be revealed!

2008 has been a good year for those of the Pie, quieter than 2007 but just as holy. We have seen a rebellion, a reconcillation, more members, two new constitutions, a new church, more Demi Gods and vital work on the new Book of Pie, which now exceeds 6000 words. Also, much of lore of Pieism has been expanded this year, with even more to be released with the Book of Pie.

There are also 37 members of Pieism so happy, happy days!

We look to 2009 and therefore, on the 1st January, Ex-08, the project that has fueled expansion this year will end and Ex-09 will begin. Although Ex-09 will not have many starting aims, here are three very important ones:

1. Complete the new Book of Pie
2. Brush up the Pieism sites
3. Find a better structure for the Union

Have a very happy Eat-Mince-Pie day and may the Pie be with you. Always!

Plan for Last Part of Ex-08

There been some planning for the last part of Ex-08, completing several areas of Pieism. In order of priority, they are:

1. Finish "Pieism: The Holy Gods" Site, which has been left incomplete
2. Finish the new Book of Pie, which should be about 12 pages of A4, so obviously it will take awhile, updates in Pieism mean it will be delayed further
3. Write a New Constitution of the whole of Pieism that amends and merges the Constitution's of the Union and of JoJo Pieism. It would also contain the Church of Turtleism.

10th September, Two and Half Years of Pie, One Year of the Union, Turtlism Admitted into the Union, LHC starts today !!!!!

Today is two and a half years since Pieism was founded, also today is a year since the Union was founded. Today Turtleism, which worships a mighty turtle as well as the Pie, has joined the Union as a new Church. This truly is amazing expansion. Turtlism is quite new but hopefully it will help Pieism on it's great journey. Also, today the LHC started up, a particle collider that will reveal the truth about the universe of the Pie. Long Live the Pie and the JoJo!!!!!

32 Members of Church of JoJo Pieism

Due to 3 new members over the last month, there are now 32 members of the Church of JoJo Pieism, we have already overtaken the Ex-08 target of 30 members by 2009, and it's only July! This shows that Pieism is still expanding memberwise, I'm setting a second Ex-08 target, 40 members of the Church of JoJo Pieism by 2009. We may not hit that but I think we will be close. Add the 32 JoJo Pieists to the New Followers and the Cultists and I think I'm right in saying that the Union has a high population indeed!

Pieism is Moving!

Although Pieism on the Internet is slow at the moment, I can assure that the work on the New Book of Pie (Version 3.0) is continuing well. For those who don't know, the New Book of Pie is based of the original, never released, Book of Pie. This period is one of the first expansions for over a year that is not on the Internet. Hopefully the New Book will be released in later this month.

A Pieism forum coming soon!

Soon I will make a Pieism forum, a new way for our members to interact. Hopefully this shall help Internet Pieism keep on existing, especially as Pieism is growing so fast now. However, I must warn you, I am about to start some important exams, therefore it is unlikely this will be possible until after the 12th of June. But don't worry, I haven't forgotton Pieism, I have some good ideas that will revive the great project, Ex-08!

Pieism: The Holy Gods = New Site

I have started work on the next part of Ex-08, Pieism: The Holy Gods! This new site is an extra site which will contain detailed infomation about the Dominion and Minor Gods. It has always bugged me that there is tons to know about the Gods, yet there is so little on the Internet due to space on the Official Site. Lets hope this site lives up to its name and finally ends the lack of knowledge on the Gods of the Pie.

Pieism: The Art = New Site

A few days ago, just before the argument, I made the new site, Pieism: The Art. It contains pieices of Pieist art for all to use. I also have a video advertising Pieism I was going to put on youtube but it was the wrong format (stupid pootube). This is all part of Ex - 08!

Here's the Advertisment for Pieism Video

Pieism: The Sacred Texts Finished

Finally "Pieism: The Sacred Texts", a new Pieism site and the first part of Ex-08, is finished. Hopefully the new Sacred Scrolls site will be up and running soon to help people understand about the Pie. Another site like this, "Pieism: The Holy Gods" may be here soon as well.

First Post of 2008 (about Ex-08)

This is 2008, the third year of Pieism! Last year Pieism expanded beyond belief. To continue this process I have made a new project, Ex-08 ( short for Expansion 2008). There are four aims of this project:

1. Put all of Pieism on the Internet

Although much of the information about our religion is now on the Internet, some of it remains undetailed (eg. detailed information on minor gods). Hopefully extra-sites should contain this information.

2. Expand Membership

Hopefully we should be able to expand membership of the Church of JoJo Pieism (and so therefore the whole religion) to 30 Pieists by the end of the year (20 members now).

3. Expand Pieism onto different types of site

Making Pieist youtube videos, forums, myspace pages etc to try to get the message of Pieism to as many people as possible.

4. Overtake Holy Church of Pie (Pieism.tk) on google search results

The defunct site Pieism.tk still has the top spot on google's search results for "Pieism" and is still just about the most refered to type of Pieism. We hope come first or at least take up a lot of space on the first page of google results for "Pieism". We should become the most refered to Pieism by the end of the year if the expansion continues, which it should due to Ex-08.

Last Post of 2007

Last post of 2007, how much has happened this year! At the beginning we didn't even have a site, now we have expanded to become the greatest of all Pieism's. Plus we have lots of cool ideas lined up for 2008: in the form of "Ex-08", short for "Expansion 2008", but there will be more about that in the next post.

A short summary of the year's events

27th January: First Pieism Site, the "JoJo Pieism Blog", is made

15th March: "Pieism: The Official Site" is created as "JoJo Pieism.tk"

17th April: JoJo Pieism Blog converted into site for Pieist news

25th April: First ideas for a Pieist Union

26th May: Pieism wiki article under goes major update

4th June: New STALM, future church, is founded

8th June: Council of Pie founded between JoJo Pieism and New STALM

16th July: Cult of Pie, future church, is founded and joins Council of Pie

1st August: Alliance between JoJo Pieism, New STALM and Cult of Pie

10th September: Union between JoJo Pieism, New STALM and Cult of Pie as "Federation of Pie"

16th October: Union is reformed, name changed to "Great Religion of Pieism"

21st November: Holy Texts of Pieism reformed

19th December: Idea of "Ex-08" is created, path for 2008 is laid.


As you can see Pieism in 2007 has gone through three stages:

January to May: Development of JoJo Pieism

June to September: Union of active Pieism

October to December: Reformation of Union


Note about the Union: the Union was founded on the 10th September as the "Federation of Pie". However it was not very successful so it was replaced by the "Great Religion of Pieism", still the Union, just in a different form.

All well, 2007 has been a great year for Pieism, possibly the best. Ex-08, the new project for 2008, should ensure that 2008 is just as successful. We hope to expand on to new parts of the Internet, to put us beyond the ancient sects. If 2007 is known for one event in Pieism, I can safely say it was "The Rise of (JoJo) Pieism".
