The Whimsicult

“He did not mean to start a cult. He never means to start anything.”


Overview

The Whimsicult is a cult accidentally founded by Jack. The exact circumstances are TBD. The outcome is that a non-trivial number of people now follow Jack for reasons that make complete sense to them and no sense to anyone else.

Despite being a gag faction, the Whimsicult eventually becomes genuinely useful. This is against all reasonable expectations.
