Continue Preaching the Word of Ceiling Cat!
[4] Word preached.
Tithe one of my kidneys, part of my liver and my spleen to assuage the fears and concerns of my flock. After all, can't be a hypocrite in this business. If you're a hypocrite, no one takes you seriously. After that bit of business is done, write a holy text of the Children of Christ, Organ-Thief. It shall be called the Organ Testament!
You donate those organs. [5] Concerns assuaged. [2] You can't get a good Testament written.
if dead (sound like I died) resurrect then call more followers with a battlecry
[3] You have risen halfway from the dead! [1] You moan, calling several people forward to shoot you in the head. Lethally.
Convert more people. Build a church. Improve public image more.
[1] You convince people that you really are a lunatic. [5] They build a nice, little, three-room "house" made of cinder blocks and plywood for you, and even throw in a bed.
Kidnap a group of five people, drag into nearest basement. Brainwash with the informercial channel. When fully brainwashed, acquire deeds to their homes and amalgam into a church building. Name it Charles.
