CHAPTER 1.1 version 1.023 MB
On a seemingly placid, boring, uneventful, uninteresting, dreary, tedious day that you would expect before the conception of petroleum distllitate powered horseless carriages (and the manic depressive garden variety barkers that go along with it) and the portable hand held chemically powered personal communications devices which in the future would be the sole cause of many roadkills and mishaps along with the previously mentioned modern contraption, there upon a half-decayed petrified stump of wood, sat a man, which at this point shall be referred to as FISHERMAN. FISHERMAN was just minding his own business, scratching his carefully kept unkempt Malayo-Polynesian pre-pubescent whiskers, when he managed to gaze upon the horizon, a large group of wooden vessels which shall be hereby referred to as UFOs or Unidentified Floating Objects. At this very point in existence, FISHERMAN was peeved at the sight of the UFOs for two main reasons; one, it obstructed his view of the the sun, and two, he was ignorant as will be his descendants in the near future. After several more rubs and scratches, he then leisurely headed to the community dwellings to consult the purveyor of infinite wisdom and immortal one-liners, which shall be hereby referred to as the TOWN FOOL. Due to a series of unfortunate events, FISHERMAN, was unable to to obtain immortal quips from TOWN FOOL for the the latter was indisposed medically and psychologically, over some river crabs and his own mother. Desperate to ascertain the facts about the UFOs, FISHERMAN headed to the last resort of knowledge and wisdom, and occasional raconteur, the town chieftain, which at this point shall be hereby referred to as MR. LAPU LAPU. Upon arriving at the stately above of MR. LAPU LAPU, FISHERMAN witnessed the aforesaid individual getting a sound cudgeling and heavy beating from his significant other, which hereby shall be referred to as MRS. LAPU LAPU. Managing to escape momentarily from the verbal assault hurled indiscriminately at MR. LAPU LAPU. Getting out of his fetal position and his thumb sucking, MR. LAPU LAPU was able to attend to the affirs of the state and was able to seek an audience from his loyal and trustworthy denizen. After the necessary and recently invented ancient custom of drinking fermented coconut juice, MR. LAPU LAPU was finally able to obtain information pertaining to the sightings of the UFOs and exclaimed the immortal lines which are preserved in the annals of history as, dare I quote:

Conversion
It is a common saying in most history books that trade follows the flag, however, it is more convetionally correct to say that flag follows the trade and then comes venereal diseases, foreign maladies and shit - in that sequence. The last to come in the parade is religion which is synonymous to GLOBAL DOMINATION <insert venerable anachronistic laugh here, and don't forget the pinky>. With religion in your brew of New World Conquests, you can't go wrong. Beads and liquors can buy you occasional serfdom, but religion brings you total and absolute control, wherein you can cow the people into submission by connecting every disaster, plague, or misfortune to the almighty wrath of your chosen supreme being. If that however does not work, we recommend you to bring an import in the shape of Torquemada. That'll teach those buggers off.
The Pamplet recovered from the Inspiration Divine Institute of Total Salvation or I.D.I.O.T.S., gives the following tips for you would be Conquistadores, both horsed and on foot, out there:
1. Have at least one deity and stick to the bastard. Multiple deities and gods and goddesses will not appeal to native tree huggers and rustics. Polytheism is the thing of the past and it is better to have one supreme being since it saves us paperwork and allows you to funnel more of the offerings into your own private retirement slush fund. Try it out next time when you conquer the world, it works and insures you have total control of your religion.
2. Cow the people. If not, try cattling them. If still does not work, you must call our hotline immediately and we will send an imported player from the High Command who is zealous, devout and has no moral qualms whatsoever. These imports will gladly tie the people in droves, put them on stakes, burn them in public and sing occasional hymns and songs of praise while the fire crackles. This ensures nonbelievers get the message that your God is more powerful not only in the metaphysical but also on the physical.
3. Feel superior, feel good. Introduce teachings that make the people slave and work for you. It gets religious fortresses up quickly that the normal paid union heathen work. It saves you from going to all the redtape enforced by the headquarters. Tax 'em while you work 'em.
4. Dead languages are the best medium to publish your holy manuals in. Not only does it provide a sense of superiority but it also makes the local understand that you are educated and you're not afraid to use it. It also provides you with a perfect alibi that the correct interpretation is your what and not their way, just in case they smarten up. If they do however smarten up, just call us and we'll send not one but two garrote machines and we'll include the executioner absolutely free. Just remember to remain smug throughout the process so that it makes you look more refined and cool.
5. Need help with something you can't humanely even understand and explain yourself? Religion provides just the write answers to that, just remember the line "THE LORD WORKS IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS!" and remember to have a lackey or a wingman to punctuate "AMEN!". Religion is a verstaile tool for getting away with mostly everything in the New World Order. Plagues? God is angry at you for you have missed novena! Natural Calamities? God is angry at you for you have not donated enough lands to the mother church. Hauntings? One of you has not embraced and converted to Christianity! Repent and Convert! Native's daughter got pregnant with yours? IT'S A MIRACLE! THE LORD REALLY DOES WORK IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS! AMEN!
6. Pyramid scams won't work in the long run. Religion scams - now there's the ticket! Boost offerings and church donations by selling penances and requirements for salvations. Install a quota, it works! It also saves you time for siesta while natives do all the slave work for you. Relax. Take a break. Enjoy your cocoa.
7. The Book is the source of all things - rules, precepts, how to eat, how to work, how to wear clothes - but not for you silly! As the one introducing the new religion, you need not follow each and single paragraph of your holy tome. What applies to the natives doesn't necessarily apply to you, after all, what would be the purpose of you establishing a religion is you can't get what you really came for, mainly: Food, Sex, Beer and sometimes gold.
8. Introduce lavish celebrations. Is possible one for every saint you can manage. It's a good way to steer the course of the country towards indolence and over-budgeting and most of all corruption. Remember, occupying a country is mostly temporary, so you must have a long range plan to maneuver the history of that country to be dependent on your country even though you do not exist as the occupier anymore.
Sports
"Polo."
"Good!"
"Good?"
"Yup. I need a bit o' good ol' exercise anyway."
"Ex-ercis..e?"
"Aye."
"..."
"Oh, do pardon me mate, but where anyway are the horses and hammers?"
"Dumbass. We are here to work!"
"But what about polo?"
"Your in one now!"
"Well if I am indeed in one now Mr. Smartypants, where the fuckin' hell are the horses? We can't use carabaos now can we? And who are we fighting against anyway? Ooh! Are we fighting the Spaniards?"
"Fight the Spaniards?"
"Yes."
"Now why didn't I think of that! You are a genius!"
"Thanks mate. I knew I had it in me. So when do we start playing polo?"
"We don't have to."
"Bugger. I was hoping to fight me some Spaniards."
"We will fight and win against them!"
"Good. I'm pretty good in Polo you see. Been practicin' you know."
"Fuck polo!"
"If you're not playing then, I will! And I'll beat those Spaniards and there red arses!"
"You're a moron."
"And what are you? A dumb fuck?"
"Oh shit! This a way comes one of our colonial oppressors, quick hand me that hammer!"
"And since when did you get interested in Polo? A moment ago you said you didn't want to play?"
"Shut the bloody hell up!"
"Well. Getting stingy are we now?"
"Allright! I'll play polo with you! Afterwards you can help me start a revolution!"
"All rightey! That's the spirit mate! But how will a revolution help win a game against the Spanish later on?"
