Timewaiters are followers of the religion of the One True Comic that split from the Initiates Of Time in the 'First' Schism.

The main tenet of Timewaiters is that they exclusively use TimeFrames as their unit of measuring time.

Organization[]

The Timewaiters maintain an established organization of followers who exist under several cardinals. Ultimately all Timewaiters follow their own pope.

Cardinals[]

Cardinals are chosen using the Cardinal Rule. Any long time forum lurker who registered in solely to post in the One True Comic are eligible for Cardinal-ship. (an exception was made for KarMann because I said so, shutup). [1] Cardinals are appointed by the congregation and confirmed by the pope.
