It depends on what is the one true ideology.
If the one true ideology is Christianity, you burn in hell forever.
If the one true ideology is Muslim, you also burn in hell forever.
If the one true ideology is atheism, nothing much happens. Perhaps you are happier, perhaps you are sadder. Nothing of cosmic importance, really.

If the one true ideology is Hinduism, um... it really depends. You do not necessarily have to believe in Hinduism to reap its hypothetical rewards - you have to believe in the Supreme to achieve moksha, but you can get benefits from karma even if you don't believe in Hinduism. Note: information from skimming Wikipedia. Anyway, even if you don't believe in the Supreme, you get to live forever, reincarnating when you die. Not a bad deal, if you ask me.

If the one true ideology is Greek mythology, you can still get into the afterlife, as long as your family believes in it, and gives you a swank funeral and puts a coin under your tongue and whatnot. Still, if you are damned (not sure how you get damned, if you don't sacrifice enough bulls or something?), you're going to Tartarus. And if you get initiated into a mystery cult you get to go to the Elysian Fields when you inevitably die of κοολ-αιδ poisoning. Not bad. Thing is, gods are liable to start screwing your wives and smiting your armies if you don't sacrifice enough wine and packets of 100 bulls on mountaintops. Always with the smiting, those Greek gods.

and if it's scientology then a whole bunch of weird shit happens.

lol anyway... I'm pretty sure that because I play DF my version of hell is some kind of small room inside a vein of adamantite.

I think Retro and Jong managed to win the game...

Step 2: Realise you were thoroughly trolled.

Step 3: APPLY MAGMA

I once saw a dwarven civilization called "the sack of hair"

Well creatures in the game do have a "size" assigned to them... that can stop drawbridges from working on them or affect which pressure plates they can activate. No wait... that sounds more like weight. But weight only affects how fast soldiers can go and how much you can fit in a wagon... I got it.

In DF weight is size and size is weight. Except sometimes weight is weight too.

has it been done? has anyone captured a giant toad and chained it on top of an alter and created a dwarven worship service to Toady One?

*Prays to the Toad God*

Build a stairway and release him to the surface. He'll burn away that god awful forest, and deal with those annoying traders for you! Just make sure you lock yourself underground.
