 *'''Proselytizing''' – Most crew members are godless heathens; acquiring followers for your god(s) is your first priority. When you convince someone to join the church, you can perform a ritual of initiation, which can be anything from reciting an oath to drinking [[Guide_to_chemistry#Narcotics|something]] to even public humiliation. Note that for more extreme rituals, you should check with your [[Administrators|god(s)]] to see if you can perform them without facing their wrath.

-The Pray command is like an [[adminhelp]], but is [[IC]], and should be worded deferentially (e.g. "Oh Great and Wise Pelor, please grant your humble servant...). It is advised that you only pray later in the round; the gods have a habit of ignoring early prayers. You can increase your divine favor by making a sacrifice to your god(s) of choice; you can do this any number of ways (it is wise to state what you have sacrificed in your prayer). Prayers are more likely to be answered if they are somehow thematically appropriate: wishing for an RCD for no apparent reason is unlikely to be fulfilled, but praying for, say, a divine mission or the tools to complete such are more amusing to the gods.
+The Pray command, like an [[Adminhelp]], contacts all of the currently-online admins. However, it is treated as [[IC]], and should be worded differently as a result. More specifically, avoid asking for specific items or equipment. For example, "can i have an rcd", even with proper punctuation and capitalization, would be ignored at best and result in a smiting at worst. However, changing it into "Oh, Space Father who art in Space Heaven, please grant me a way to escape/construct things." will be more likely to give a result, even if it may not be what you wanted.
-You have candles and crayons in your locker. Candles can be set anywhere and lit (they eventually burn down). Crayons can be used to draw runes (commonly placed in front of the podium), as well as graffiti (not really your style) and letters (allowing you to write out messages across the ground).
-Do not expect any prayers to be answered. Gods are fickle and busy beings: who knows what they're going to do next?

 *Your bible doesn't just store bottles of booze. It can actually hold a great deal of things, from decks of cards to food to even certain null rods.
