The Base 19.2 Shadow Cult

## Base 19.2 Shadow Cult

A depiction of a cult-like ritual that the Base 19.2 Shadow Cult partakes in.

## Overview

The Base 19.2 Shadow Cult believes that the superior counting system is a base 19.2 counting system. It's members, (of which there are estimated to be 1920,) have been documented to be humble, with small exceptions (see "Base 10 Cathedral Burnings," and "Free Counting System Rebellion. (FCSR).")

The reason of their passion for the base 19.2 counting system is unknown. however, countologists, such as the late Jeremyanson Floores, have hypothesized that it may be due to it being one fifth of 96, which is known as the ultra number.

## History

Some time in 6044, not to be confused with 6043, Jerg Hitler (not related to Adolf Hitler) of Bizberg set out to make a new life among the slaves and starved citizens of King Jagentie VII's sector. However, due to the lack of jobs other than farming, they could make no living, and had to beg for food on the sides of trails.

Many months later, Jerg went to the sector's Base 10 Cathedral. Jerg received donations from considerate attendees, which allowed him to finally start his dream of farming. Eventually, he began donating to the cathedral, and his efforts allowed the cathedral to expand it's message beyond King Jagentie VII's sector.

Jerg maintained a good relationship with the Base 10 Cathedral until 6052, when the Non-10 Base Eradication began. The oppressive genocide of the church broke Jerg's heart. He escaped to the southern reaches of King Jagentie VII's sector, where at the time the Base 10 Cathedral had no influence. There, he founded the Base 19.2 Shadow Cult.

The cult quickly garnered members, most of them being unhappy due to the Base 10 Cathedral's oppressive practices. One member, Gno Moor Knames (pronounced "no-more-names,") Made the statue depicted in the image above, which still stands today. When the cult had garnered a sizeable following, they began to plot a revolution.

In exactly The Big Year, the Base 19.2 Shadow Cult began the Free Counting System Rebellion (FCSR). The aim of the rebellion was to allow any citizen of Bizberg to freely express their counting related ideologies.

Near the beginning of the revolution, the Base 10 Cathedral Burnings took place. This was one of the Base 19.2 Shadow Cult's more violent actions as a collective, which placed King Jagentie VII into the difficult political decision to imprison several members of the Base 19.2 Shadow Cult.

The imprisonment of activist "Tyler, The Creator" extended the rebellion by two years, which nearly killed the movement. However, the Base 19.2 Shadow Cult was eventually able to raise enough funds to bail out Tyler. When released, he led the most historically significant march on the Base 10 Cathedral.

The march did not change the mind of the cathedral. However, the public's perception of the cathedral greatly weakened, which lead to the turning point in the rebellion. The cathedral's weakened influence allowed the rebellion to convince all three kings of Bizberg Castle to pass the Free Counting Law.

## Rituals

* Every 19.2 weeks, the cultists gather to discuss new counting related news. (similar to news rooms.)
* Every 19.2 hours, cultists are reminded to practice their magic times tables in search of mathematical nirvana.
* Every 19.2 days, the 19.2 statue, created by Gno Moor Knames, is placed in the center of a field, and cultists may gather to share their love for 19.2.
* Every 19.2 years, a new head counter is chosen to lead the cult to a brighter future (and past.)
* Every 19.2 minutes, a large clock with 19.2 points on the clock ticks once. The clock does nothing today, but it used to signify the great passage of oingotime (Similar to Oingoseconds, but the original meaning has been lost.)
