Melonism
Template:Religion InfoboxDo not edit this page anymore. It is wasting my time and your time. Either add to it or read it.
Founding
The first example of melonism, happened at the town of Chota in Bolivia-Peru, where a group of 5 people (Mayor Prlckly, Chancellor CassowaryLord, Chancellor MyNameIsDrDoof, and 2 other builder ranked users.) with a large melon farm began to construct a obsidian altar with a single melon block on it with a sign above it that just read melun (an ancient sign originating back around 7 months) of which they worshipped, after this, the group changed there town name to Melun, which today, is the capital of the nation Andes_Mountains.
btw this is the part that keeps making everyone angry. I'm sorry your dates aren't lower than mine. This is the founding of the OG first known Melonism, not your special little snowflake story.

Origins of local forms of Melonism
Rhiner-Melonism
It originated in the small town of Munchen. The owner loved Munchen melons and formed a religion. The town was in a union with Frankfurt and so when Munchen fell, Frankfurt converted to Melonism and spread it across the border to Bonne.
Andes-Melonism
Andes-Melonism was born in the medium sized town of Chota (later Melun.), which is home to the oldest known case of Melonism, it was founded after the 3 main people of Melun built a large melon farm and, around 1 month later, the farm got larger and a small obsidian altar was built to worship melons, which marks when the name was changed to Melun and the first documented version of Melonism came to be. ( it's not lost to time. it be right here, so stop editing it to say otherwise.)
The ritual for the crowning of the king of Melun (and the history of those 3 past kings.)
The ritual procedures are the following: Make a glistening melon a gold infused even more holy and respected version of the melon slice, to make splash potions of healing, then, place the new Melon on the melon altar under the Melun sign to grant a new king. The reason why there have been 3 kings is becaus ehte great holy melon has been destroyed 2 times by random users, it is purposefully a public area for worshipping, if the culprit of the destruction of the king is caught, he will be kicked immediately.
History of Melun kings
Unnaned - July 10th - ~September this Melon was the first melon on the altar, it had no name, simply just called the holy melon. The destroyer of this Melon block remains unknown to this day. But is not in Melun, as no one from Meluns this time is still on the server except CassowaryLord and Prlckly, who did not, and would not destroy the melon.
Mark the Melon - September - November 3. Mark was the most important melon in Melun's history, being alive to see the moment when Melun peaked in population at 29 people on November 2nd. He was also alive the entire 1 1/2 month duration wherein Prlckly mined for gold to become a nation for around 45 hours overall. The destroyer was a frenchfag who must not be named who was attention grabbing and spammed water and lava buckets everywhere in attempt to grief Melun, in this minor event the player was both banned from the server and kicked from the town. Melun suffered no losses, and because fire did not spread, it was an easy fix. The true loss was the destruction of Mark. who had been summoned by the first of 2 rituals ever performed in Melun, by CassowaryLord, MyNameIsDrDoof, and Prlckly. Coincedentally, this was just a day after the founding of the andes_mountains.
Barry the Melon - November 4th - Present. Barry was named barry because, before a ritual performed by Prlckly to crown a new king, Prlckly asked everyone what the new king of the nation's name should be, and the first person to type a name in would be it's name. A few people said names, but the first name was from the leader of Belarus, who said to name the new Melon king Barry. Barry has been alive to see the decline of melon after an inactive period from Prlckly from around Nov 30 - Jan 26. And the return at Jan 26 - Present.
