Eh. I can see some ways death is important. Not good, necessarily, mind you, just important. People get set in their ways. If no one died of old age/disease, well, progress would be stifled, to put it lightly(war would probably be significantly more common). More and more the longer time goes on.

Immortality requires responsibility. Doesn't mean I don't want it, just means that everyone suddenly becoming immortal without society changing to accomodate such a change might have some rather serious ramifications.

My favorite afterlife is probably the Celtic one, or at least one variation of it, there are probably several different versions depending on what time period and tribe you look at.

When you die you get reborn in the Other World, when you die there you are reborn in this world. Back and forth, back and forth like the cycle of the seasons. Winter leads into Spring which ultimately leads back around to Winter.

Never bothered to look into the details of the concept or what the Other World was supposed to be like, but I find the idea kind of appealing.

One of the God games on this forum ended up looking like that. I'm not sure if it was on purpose or not, I just know people liked the idea of two worlds and souls on one ended up going to the other.

I don't think that the Celts knew what the Other World was supposed to be like either. From what I remember, it's just a place where weird, mystical shit likes to live and is just a breath away from the 'real world'. So you get heroes and monsters crossing over from world to world fairly regularly. If you meet something that's striped red and white and has a fondness for the number three, then they're probably from the Other World.

Then there's that time-travelling reincarnation where everyone is just one soul...  That, I'm not crazy about...  Time travel is dumb

How about time travel reincarnation where people are sent back to ancient times as punishment for being monstrously evil?

Sigh. that's just the kind of thing I'd say, Pathos.

Sounds the the plot to Terminator

I mean, I desperately want to be a Roman citizen in a future life.
I just don't see that as a likely possibility.
Oh well.

Lets found new new Rome, then.

Of course, we all know that we go join the great  Pathos in the sky after death.

I'm all for Neo Rome as long as we adopt traditional roman behavior.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

[spoiler=I Know you're Joking, but... (More Pompeii Graffiti)]Herculaneum bar: Two friends were here. While they were, they had bad service in every way from a guy named Epaphroditus. They threw him out and spent 105 and half sestertii most agreeably on whores (so the night turned out ok?)

Herculaneum bar: Apelles the chamberlain with Dexter, a slave of Caesar, ate here most agreeably and had a screw at the same time (not exactly at the same time I hope? Hang on, are you the guys who threw out Epaphroditus?)

Herculaneum bar, next to a drawing of a phallus: Handle with care

Herculaneum bar: Apelles Mus and his brother Dexter each pleasurably had sex with two girls twice (you two again).


You definitely aren't far off. Romans are definitely Bromans.

I hereby claim this thread as the virtual Latium on which we now found Neo Rome, by the grace of the Pathos and under sight of the citric wizard.

This more than slightly off topic.

Also, New Rome is already taken - See Istanbul.

[Rolan7]

Not Constantinople?
_sorry

[TD1]

Istanbul, Constantinople, Byzantium.

Whatever goes

That's why it's Neo Rome, ye pleb.

[TD1]

Nova Roma to the Romans, Neo Rome to the Greeks.

It was called Neo Rome at the time.
