That is brilliant! Sounds so 18th century.
Okay, here's something that'll slay ya.
Back when NEST was smaller and we met at my house, Jeff, who had previously paid a few bucks and became a minister, ordained all the NEST guests. We actually became ordained into the WORLD MINISTRY OF LAUGHTER. I still have my certificate somewhere.
This isn't what spurred my game, but I just remembered this little tidbit. It would be cool for all the ordained to come forth (if they are reading this) and we can take roll.
The idea DID come to me because, in my twisted mind, I thought about what power these cult leaders have and how cool it was to fantasize being the leader of a cult and getting to tickle anyone any time I wanted. Someone wanna tackle a story here?
Meanwhile my contribution:
RULES (sorry for the male dominance slant but it's my fantasy):
1) At no time does a sister (female member) refuse a Tickling from a brother (male member) or father (minister). I know it has a creepy pedo/incestuous/arch diocese sound but it isn't meant to be that way.
2) A 'lee volunteer is needed for every evening service
3) The more ticklish you are, the faster you will be initiated into higher 'learning'.
4) A "Sign of Tickle Submission" will be learned by all, so in the case that a member wants to tickle another, all they have to do is flash that symbol and the 'lee must submit.
5) New members must wear wrist and ankle cuffs at all times for the required period.
6) Every member is required to fulfill the strict requirements for good hygiene (nails cut short*, body shaved smooth, oils applied for softness, feet meticulously pampered)
* Only appointed Ritual Ticklers get to keep nails long.
Okay, is this starting to sound like a KITTLETOWN type epic in the making?
CONCEPTS
1) That the Great Spirit lies within the center of joy within our being
2) That this Joy can be obtained through laughter
3) That Tickling can bring us closer to the Great Spirit
DRESS
1) Females wear (thanks for the KITTLETOWN plug, KingP) loose fitting clothing with no sleeves and slits along the sides where hands may enter. Shoes are sandals with faux fur as to keep the feet soft and tender.
2) Males can wear anything they want (laughing here)
RECRUITING
1) Cult members must integrate themselves into society via parties and social events, school, church, clubs, etc.
2) Once infiltrated, they have a required amount of time to befriend someone.
3) They must test their ticklishness through innocent play.
4) If the member fulfills all necessary requirements (a list can be provided by one of the cult "fathers") they are either coaxed into coming to a meeting or taken against their will.
Remember: It is for their own good!
There you have it. My list. Looking forward to yourcomments.
Max
Loincloths for the men, and thongs for the women. On the feet....sandals, which could be easily removed, and also show off the feet. Fur-lined leather straps around the wrists and ankles, which could be attached to the "Altar of Sacrificial Tickling" or the "Pillars of Tickling" or "Ye Bed of Erotic Tickling". 
lol jk
