#### why is there no heaven?

I just had to check out the new, improved hell. I like what you've done with the place. Especially the tomato refinery. That was tomato juice, right?
Anyway, I thought.. if there's hell, then there must be a heaven as well. and if if they both exist, then something must determine which place you go to when you die... favor... karma.. # of emblems, donations... I dunno, you figure it out. That's why you make the big bucks.
Also... purgatory.

- Well, I mentioned this before in another thread but no one ever responded...
  I was thinking that heaven should be a floating island or maybe a tree that may wander around certain areas of Ur as the days pass by.

- Why would the giants imagine a heaven when they've already imagined Ur?

- If you die because of No No you should get to go to heaven.

- I thought Double Rainbow was Heaven... or Candyland, at any rate (which, depending on your religious viewpoint, might amount to the same thing).

- Perhaps there IS a heaven, but any glitch who has ever used planks, moons, nono, sneezing powder, or ever scratched in public can never get there. Also, think of the consequences: if there were a heaven, Trisor would get lonely.

- One can transgress and go to Hell. The model allows that, after a certain amount of grape squishing, one is 'redeemed' and finds their way back to the real world.
  But, in the whole Heaven/Hell thing, if Hell is punishment and Heaven is a reward, why would you ever leave Heaven? You're presumed to have 'died' in order to go to either, so what would be the determining factor?
  Could it be a random output of an icon? You are whisked off to Heaven and ... ? Tell Cosma she looks exceptionally beautiful this morning?

- Or it could be based on donations. If you had donated enough (maybe maxed out your daily favor with at least one of the giants), you would go to heaven, and when you came back, it would be with full energy and mood.

- Don't we see heaven every 4 hours already when the giants give us their blessings to start a new day??

- but mabey whith haven there was a time limit to how long you could stay there(like one hour mabye?) and you had do have a certain item to get in like a dubuon or something that you get by completin some jumping challenges. Then you give it to a star and they let you in, and you are greeted by Cosma. And after this ordeal you can buy the dubuon for $10,000 and you have to do something w/ star powder to get to the could of heaven.
  Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!

- Similar to the icy plane, where you need the Hearty Buff, simply have a "Perfectly Pious" buff that only lasts 2 minutes or so, else you loose energy rapidly.
  The mechanic for "elevation", whatever it may be, would grant the buff & teleport you (i.e. a drink "Golden Chalice of Lem")

- I kinda like it the way it is now, Ur's afterlife follows the ancient Greek convention. Everybody goes to the same place, no matter what, and has the same responsibility while there (to squish). It's not really punishment for wickedness, it just is how it is.

- What if each giant had their own heaven, appropriately themed? I think that would make the giants have a little bit more personality, which would be nice. Right now, they are only different because of what activities/donations they prefer, what their icon looks like, and what they say in response to donations.
  Perhaps you could only go to one of the heavens if you had tithed that game day? Or some other relatively difficult interaction with a specific giant.
  What would the heavens look like in terms of gameplay? They could be like a combination of a party and being on No-No Powder, maybe. After you've been there for some length of time you get yanked back to the Urthly plane.

- Does it always have to be so black and white; always have a heaven when there's a hell?
  For most of us, I'm pretty sure we've already found our "heaven," in fact, we roam, explore, and build it every day. This isn't suppose to be a trick question, hopefully. :)
