[QUOTE="gideonpepys, post: 7144338, member: 79141"] [B]Me:[/B] Okay, so I'm assuming you are all voting Miller's Pyre. Correct? [B]Matunaaga/Bruce McDruid:[/B] That's the way my vote is going. Haven't had a chance to look at the minor parties yet but I'm assuming we are expected to vote for 1 of the 5 main factions? [B]Me:[/B]Yes. For now. The minor parties come about over the next 24-hours and try to form alliances with the major factions. So you can favour one of those too if you like, but that won't matter for the first vote (unless you're wholly devoted to one of the minor factions and vote 'other'). [B]Uru/Gran Guiscard: [/B]My host wants the clockwork world but I think Miller's Pyre is the least bad option. [B]Me: [/B]Lol. Your host doesn't have a say in matter. He's completely unconscious. When you're in gestalt, you're 'raiding' his mind for memories and thoughts, but as he was unaware of what was happening recently, it's not possible for him to have formed an opinion. Maybe Uru is simply expressing his own subconscious fascination for all things clockwork? ([I]I was laughing here because this is the third time I've explained this to the player.[/I]) [B]Rumdoom/Kiov Hetman[/B]Can I cast a no vote? Or simply abstain? As a scientist, I simply don't believe sufficient evidence has been presented.... (in best patronising, sciencey-boffin-nerd voice) [B]Me: [/B]The 'Humble Hook' faction maintains that the world should be left as it is. And of course you can abstain. In fact, doing so would make Kiov Hetman the focus of alot of attempts to sway him, particularly if he cited 'lack of evidence'. He would be encouraged to try the planar portals, where the evidence can be seen... Speaking of which... ([B]I sent out the planar portal descriptions at this point.[/B]) [B]Rumdoom/ Kiov Hetman: [/B]Kiov will abstain. In doing so he will attempt to get the best overall approximation of who is voting for what whilst he is busy being canvassed for his vote. [B]Korrigan/Ken Don:[/B] Well, I think the idea we discussed at the table was to vote for the faction which would have potentially the least impact on the world should we fail to stop the Ob entirely. Miller's Pyre does seem to be such faction, although opening up the world otherworldly invasions may still be disastrous. Who knows what's out there (from the character's point of view). If a public debate arises Ken would argue that while everything else seems fine, he does not see why the plane that blocks outside access should be removed. Keeping to Ken's character Korrigan would also stand against the destruction of bleak gate and by extension feywild. Ken's view is that these worlds should be put to good use (especially bleak gate and undead). If opportunity arises Korrigan may also engage Cula Ravjahani in a more private discussion about the Miller's philosophy and see if he can sway her opinion about the whole Ob operation. "The White Tongue. Rumors suggest that an unknown number of Obscurati members have made a pact with the fey titan known as the Voice of Rot, which seeks to gain power by letting the world die." We def need to look into this in relation to the recent murder. BTW, just for the sake of interest - is anyone tempted to join with the Ob to build a better world? :) [B]Matunaaga/McDruid:[/B] Not at the cost of possibly unleashing an army of tooth-anuses* onto the world. Can you imagine the amount of loo roll and dental floss one would need to fight that battle? [B]Leon/Xavier Sangria: [/B]I would be interested if: 1. I thought they could achieve what they planned without unforeseen consequences. Currently they don't have a good track record on that front 2.
