Rise of the Celestials - A Divine Experience

Way beyond the realms of time and space we can perceive, there is a place called heaven inhabited by Celestials, reincarnated humans. For billions of years these Celestials unanimously decided to stay in the shadows, fearing the world of the living would be destroyed once they show themselves. The earth had come to a point where they actually feared humans themselves would destroy it, so they decided to intervene.
When the Celestials rose they quickly realized their grave mistake. Earth was not ready for them. Wars broke out all over the globe as every religion claimed the Celestials to belong to them, and humanity was quickly wiped out, while earth became uninhabitable.
Now, you and all the other victims are being reincarnated into Celestials themselves, rising from the ashes and escaping earthly sorrow. Quickly you realize that in heaven, all beliefs co-exist peacefully and complement each other.
Due to the overabundance of newly ascended, heaven faces some infrastructural problems that need to be solved. As you have proven to be worthy of handling that important business by your achievements on earth, Celestials took a vote for you to be the new President of Heaven. Turns out the old president could not handle having to expand on floating islands with limited space.
The Celestials count on you to make heaven the flawless place everybody expected it to be when they were still human. Make heaven great again! Humanize. Sacrifice. Synergize. Eternalize.

Here are the first objectives of your presidency:


Bronze


A) Your citizens are demanding more ways of entertainment, namely new flat rides, and they demand no less quality in their theming, so make every piece count! The old president already started preparing places for new flat rides, but never finished them. These places are the island behind the mayan area in a cylinder shape, with three levels and „heaven’s plateau“, which can be found right behind Sunday Mass. You may also find other places to build them.

B) The old president did not treat his staff (yes, even in heaven things need to be run by somebody) too well, so nearly all oft hem quit. Find new people to take care of everything that needs to be taken care of (janitors, mechanics, shop staff) and build them a nice staff building, to make them have a great time and handle things in your name properly.



Silver

A) People are never satisfied. Never. Now that you’re done building new flat rides and have everything running well, your citizens are demanding additions to heaven’s coaster collection. Quoting Barbara H.: „Some of these surrounding islands are just screaming terrain coaster, aren’t they? Why is nobody doing anything about that?“. Your consultants assume you will have to build at least 2 more coasters to meet the demand. Keep in mind, that Celestials have superpowers that make coasters like we know them from earth seem a bit boring. You will have to come up with something completely new and unique to satisfy their need for adventure.

B) As heaven offers more and more to do, thanks to you, more and more people are allowed to ascend. It seems there are not enough shops, toilets and restaurants to cater for everyone. Also, citizens are complaining about darkness at night, and crowded pathways. You will have to address all of these issues to have your resident happiness rating rise to 95% or higher!
C) In the past, people started building the „Tower of Celestials“ as a sign that everyone is equal and that we shall not live in different areas just because of our faith. Unfortunately, the building was never finished. Many people climb the tower and jump down, to enjoy a great flight through heaven, as Celestials can glide, but not actually fly. Now it’s time for you to celebrate what you already achieved, finish this already beautiful building and put your office in there. Sounds like a deal, doesn’t it?



Gold


A) Now that you satisfied nearly all of heaven’s citizens, and things are running well, you may open the borders of ascension and expand heaven just like you want to. All that space in the back is calling for you to shape a bigger, better world with new coasters, rides and experiences your citizens will eternally remember. Create enough attractions to make heaven home to at least 2720 Celestials. This requires you to manage the remaining space perfectly, edge to edge on every island. Create iconic religious scenes, or come up with your own religion to make heaven even more heavenly. Creativity, just like heaven, knows no boundaries.

B) There has never been a perfect president, right? Why not change that and become the first ever president that no one can say anything against. Carve your name into divine stone by achieving a 100% resident happiness rating. You will have to be meticulously precise with every single one of your heaven’s details, otherwise your dream of becoming immortal won’t come true.

C) You got it! The first Celestial to ever achieve immortality. Let’s celebrate this even bigger and make it count. Create a firework that is as unforgettable as your presidency. I’m not speaking about some rockets or pretty lights here, I’m speaking about making the whole sky burn like a raging fire, lighting up all of heaven so that everyone can see it.
