One reason because of that was that I found the system to be a bit medieval (Or at least in my troop it was) These "help projects" would be more than building dog houses or helping restore something (Which in my experience was an Eagle Project) It would be more of a fundraiser. I think this would be the way to go, but I do realize your point that Pastafarianism is not as wide spread to allow for fundraisers or such. The money idea is very simple, but anyone could become a cardinal or bishop or whatever. I feel as though the individual must do something for achieve that place in the hierarchy, instead of just buying it. But just like you I am also open to discussion and hope for something we can both agree on.

Maybe this might be the common ground, the compromise, that we have been looking for.
I would like to keep it very simple for Bishop and Archbishop. To attain those levels, all you would need to do is something very simple.
The Long PathFor Bishop: You have to meet these requirements. #1: You must reach the Posting Rank of
Cannelloni Cannoneer. #2: you must also have received a Certificate of Ordination or CoO for short.
and #3: have that registry number on your CoO.
And then once you have reached
Cannelloni Cannoneer. You get an e-mail saying that you have reached this level and that it shall have a code that is just for you. This code shall have either a number that is associated with your profile or your profile name something like:
(using me as an example) BishopDechujoh64 or Bishop3324856464.
Then you click on a link in the e-mail that will send you to a
CoO: Bishophood page. Which will cost $30 near or far.
( near being United States and far being the rest of the world.)Now the code that I just talked about would be used to reduce the price from $30 to $10.
(All the money will be talked about later at the end of this post.)At the
CoO: Bishophood page you'll be asked for the same stuff that you had to give out for the CoO. ( you can get the certificate for Bishop and Archbishop without the code and I'll tell you about that later.) but the new things that you will be asked for is the registry number that you have on your certificate. and a code if you have it.
Because now the certificate that you shall receive will pretty much say the same thing but now that you are a Bishop. Then once you get it you're a certified Bishop in the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
Same thing would go for Archbishop.
For Archbishop: You have to meet these requirements. #1: You must reach the Posting Rank of
Lumache Lieutenant. #2: You must also have received a Certificate of Ordination or CoO for short. #3: have a Certificate of Ordination for Bishophood.
and #4: Have that registry number on your CoO and CoO:B.
(one thing I do not know is if the registry number is from an actual registry or if it is just a random number.)Then it is copy and paste for WHAT I told you about
CoO: Bishophood BUT it will send you to a
CoO: Archbishophood page.
And on this page it will ask you for your name that you want on your certificate, your CoO Registry number, and your CoO:B Registry number. Also if you have a new code that you be given with a new e-mail saying that you can do this. This new code will take the cost of this certificate from $40 down to $15. This new code will be either ArchbishopDechujoh64 or Archbishop3324856464. ( the one that was not used.)
Now for
the quick pathAt any time you want you can get both of those certificates. ( IN ORDER THOUGH.) but you won't have a code and that means you have to pay full price.
Now, to be come a Cardinal I think you should do these steps.:
#1:You must reach the Posting Rank of
Gramigna Grand Admiral #2: You must also have received a Certificate of Ordination or CoO for short.
#3: Have a Certificate of Ordination for Bishophood.
#4: Have a Certificate of Ordination for Archbishophood.
#5: Have that registry number on your
CoO and
CoO:B and
CoO:A.(Oh, a side note.if the registry number is just a random number then on each "higher rank" certificate each registry number should be extended by three numbers. Adding a last set of
three numbers {for Cardinal}.[example:
205-787-365-247-064) or ( if the registry numbers are actual registry numbers then you must post all of them.)
AND FINALLY.
#6: YOU MUST DO SOMETHING GOOD AT HEART.(WHETHER IT IS SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS GIVING TO A CHARITY NO MATTER HOW SMALL OR LARGE THE DONATION IS. OR TO GIVE SOMETHING TO SOMEONE OR TO YOUR LOCAL COMMUNITY. OR ANYTHING YOU CAN THINK OF, BUT IT HAS TO BE SOMETHING NICE.)
#7: show some proof(any type of proof, anyway to show it, will be acceptable.)
Oh, but you will have to pay for shipping and handling for the certificate and $50 which shall be automatically given to
"that year's" charity.Then once you are done with all of that you will finally receive your Certificate of Ordination to be a Cardinal.
Finally, about the money. Once this joint has been payed for the year. The rest that is gotten from the certificates will be given to
"that years" charity. A charity shall be chosen every year.(That will hopefully receive some donation by the end of the year.)
One final thing Administrators and Moderators and those who have chosen Cardinal in their name (up to the point this has been accepted and allowed to happen) shall automatically be Cardinals free of charge.
Where did I get those Post Rank names right here.----->
FSM Posting Ranks Announced! PLEASE READ THE 6th POSTHopefully this might be good enough for your consideration.
