Those that spin the most compelling after-life story WIN. They get the most followers and therefore the most money. Maybe I can start a religion that allows everyone to saddle up a dragon and ride around Disney World in their afterlife. Or maybe become an invisible spirit so they can easily snoop on their Villager friends. That has potential.
