End of a Decade + A New Constitution

Finally, the end of Pieism's first decade, from it's founding on the 10th March 2006 to today, the 31st December 2009. Pieism has changed so much in less than four years, what happens during the next decade will likely set a precedent for the whole of Pieism's future, here's some events that could happen over the next ten years:

1. The release of "In Pie We Trust", the Pieism novel, will likely happen in early 2010, although its undecided whether it will see an Internet release.
2. The moving of the JoJo (me) to somewhere new, hopefully in Exeter, which will likely happen in October 2010, although I will occasionally return to Poole, where Pieism was founded.
3. The JoJo meeting his future love, and possibly even fulfilling the ancient prophecy of the scrolls by producing the one known only as the "Aisu JoJo", who shall continue the bloodline of the Pie forever!

We can only hope, anyway click here to read the new Constitution of Pieism, which will take effect from the 1st January 2010!

Have a great new year!

Constitutional Changes

As we reach the end of 2009, I am currently reviewing the Constitution of Pieism, which can be found at the following link. Generally, the constitution needs to made more streamlined and functional, in particular however three parts will likely be changed:

1. The constitution currently only allows for the leadership of Pieism to be inherited by the Bodyguard, then afterwards the position is vacant, in light of new relevations the position will likely also be made open to any descendants of the JoJo.
2. The current system, which has three grades of followers (Pie Lords, Pie Priests and Followers), will likely be replaced by one general "Followers" group, which will be one power alongside the JoJo and the Bodyguard.
3. Due to the writing of the novel In Pie We Trust by me, it is likely that the part of the constitution that states that the Book of Pie will always be the most important holy book will be removed.

These changes will come into effect on 1st January 2010, assuming that they are accepted by both the Bodyguard and the majority of the Followers. If they do, I will post the new constitution at the above link, and on this blog.

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!

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!
