  Anyway, my reaction is: I like it. A lot. The "pact between African tribes
and the IC" isn't something that I'd wnt in my game (I really don't see the
clergy making pacts with each other, much less with us puny mortals), but
the concept of a loa being the ghost of an avatar/godwalker is just plain
nifty.
  
Thanks for the support, I'm doing more work on the ideas and I'm vaguely
trying to get them published somewhere.  I think that there are millions of
pacts between the IC and us "puny mortals."  I think that on some level,
rituals are the result of those pacts, as is the ability of avatars to
"simulate" the capabilities of the clergy.  I don't think those agreements
are written down necesarrily, but I think the tradition of pacts with god is
a variation of this idea changed through oral tradition.
