While I don't realistically expect everyone who has voted so far to check in and change their votes, I wonder if those who have been particularly outspoken for one faction or another would like to propose alliances or compromises?
Watchmakers and Colossus look like they might need to coordinate to have a chance of victory, and a compromise might involve letting those with the proper truename powers resist the "no free will" aspect of the Watchmaker plot.
That would force the other factions to seek a compromise. Miller's Pyre, currently in the lead, could pair with the Panarchists, though the two groups seem a bit ideologically opposed, with harsh words being thrown back and forth. And the Pyre cannot easily ally with the Arboretum without severely curtailing their plans, since both factions use the planes of air, earth, and fire for different purposes.
It's unclear how many votes the Pyre could pick up by offering to support some of the minor factions. Mor
tal Mind has a lot of support (perhaps partially due to the typo in the poll changing its name), and it seems less compatible with the Watchmakers, but will they support the Pyre or the Panarchists? The Sky League certainly seems to favor Panarchists.
This thread is both exciting and vexing, because I'm writing Adventure Seven now and am having to work around not knowing how the vote will go. Plus, I'm pondering which of the posters here I want to ask to let me write them into the plot. Thanks for your involvement; it's been a great boon.
(Oh, and a reminder. We're still running a
Kickstarter, and we're about ten pledges away from hitting probably our most important stretch goal at $11,000.)
