There is no concrete there. It's like if I just randomly picked an egg because I liked it and the rest would all be broken. And I kept doing that with no pattern.
You're putting words in my mouth. Where the hell are you getting "no pattern" from my description? The part where I don't specifically describe the qualities required for a "good cog," which should be obvious from the description?

Quote
And you're ignoring all the gods and such who could conceivably make their own afterlives and there is nothing Heaven can do to stop it since none of their cogs would help.
You're ignoring the fact that heaven is working for the gods. It's a bit like complaining about government because each state can't make their own national bureaucracy. Not to mention that the original idea was that the Gods of Heaven were overgods, Shys'm Caes and the like, while the others were simply (relatively) powerless late-comers. After all, why would the folks who set up reality just happen to care so much about humans?
And, as it happens, under the system you promote, gods still can't create

Quote
People being able to choose where they end up unconsciously is interesting...
No, it really isn't. It's a non-answer, and it's also horribly cliche. One of the biggest cliches, a major cop-out used by nearly every single fantasy sink and many non-fantasy sinks. It's the same old, same old. At least try to use a less-overused cliche and put a spin on that, rather than taking an un-spinnable major cliche!

Quote
and most of all, SOMETHING THE MAJORITY OF THE PLAYERS LIKE BETTER.
When did you become a majority?

Quote
No one has to yield to you. And please, do show me where Scapheap approved it.
Again, this was before we had everyone trying to cram their lore into their small packages. scapheap never needed to approve anything. Show where he approved of Aedan, or of Anima being Isis, or of any of this other crap that's been around since his days. So, basically you're asking for the Social Security number of someone born before that was a thing.

Sure. Who likes GWG's afterlife better than the one we have agreed upon.
No, we didn't agree on it. And if the fucking multiverse can go completely against established precedent whenever we like it...well, what's the point?

Poll is still tied. Seeing as @GWG's one is the status quo, a greater quantity of players must refute it than the ones agreeing to it in order to justify a change.

Finally, I will make an adjustment. Any and all afterlives in any mythology exist and thus gods or entities from those mythologies can just drag their favoured souls (or prisoners) into them.

Also, there are exceptions to the afterlife thing, but those are rare, and often And I Must Scream scenarios.

Well, if it was, I reminded people that it isn't just Heaven/Hell.

If it wasn't, well, it isn't just Heaven/Hell.

So basically, still @GWG's one except expanded to all religions? Seems fair enough.

Yeah, basically.

Which is what it kinda was anyway?

Most afterlives would only call those who followed them, or those close enough to make little difference.

Therefore... yeah.

Also it was established as at least the logical conclusion as the Egyptian afterlife was stated to exist at one point.

Wait, @Elf, does the Grim Reaper actually have any function remotely related to death at all? Or does it literally just act like a more ruthless, over-the-top version of the IRS?

Yes. He's the guy who sends them to heaven/hell if no god or entity claims them otherwise.

"He"? When did I say it was a "he"? :P
So basically, from its point of view, a person's soul is deduced as tax for dying?
