By the same token though, she's reasonably likely to pick up some anti-subversion measures just on the strength of her narrative, so we want to hold off on commiting too much down that path at the moment - the Heroine's a more immediate threat anyway.
Argument strength is nice and all, but it's not going to outweigh 17 votes, and that's the current difference between I'll Face Myself and the current second place, Pursuit of the Truth. 19 votes to hit the top, Extra Diligent. Unless we get some really strong devil's advocation, and I really don't expect much there, there's just no chance. I'll keep arguing, but I very much doubt it'll get anywhere.
But let's also remember that Diligent pushed us toward getting our Necromancer powers, which will be extremely useful for a lot of things.
It's also something Nameless is enjoying, so he will be putting far more effort into it.
Well, I guess a 14 vote gap is a bit better? It isn't looking hopeful, though. However, I shall continue to argue so long as my arguments stand a chance at victory, so I guess my behavior won't change until the gap is wide and my vote is actually useful when applied elsewhere, which will seemingly be a while off. (Also, this vote tally is terrible to manage. Is this something other votes have had, or is this one uniquely bad?)

I want to see what Nameless is like with only Vengeance as his Heroic Passion. I'm sure it'll be interesting.
It's a diagram spell that is capable of teleporting us to any place if we know it well.You know, while "Open the Way" is in the lead with votes I'm honestly confused on what it does. I think it lets Nameless enter the Overgrowth and Cultivate the Beasts within - therefore getting strong enough to beat the Fates and Zang Kong. But why is it named "Open the Way"? Does it leave a permanent portal from the Overgrowth to the outside world? =

And? I'm not really seeing an issue with that.That will probably be a strange mix of productive and problematic. Remember how we're interested in comeuppancing Liefang?
Probably only teleport us. Something permanent is very unlikely.I thought it would be something like that. Will it just teleport us personally or leave something permanent that anyone can use?
Yeah, Occam's Razor is really kickin' our asses right now.Argument strength is nice and all, but it's not going to outweigh 17 votes
Nah, I'm happy to let the vote fall as they may (though I may call in my outstanding marker, if I actually think it might matter). If people honestly prefer something they should vote for it, and the fact that I have a somewhat stronger preference shouldn't really mean my vote should be more significant, except in that I argue stronger. Vote trading has all sorts of risks, and while I'm happy to offer my vote for sale at some points (because obviously I won't do anything wrong, that would be silly of me), especially when I don't have a strong opinion, I'm happy to assume that people are voting for some reason, even if I can't see it. In other words, votes are actually a relatively good system for determining what people want, and biasing the system seems like a good way to not figure out what people want as well.Would you like to make a contract?
I'm sure down the line I'll want a vote for something.
If he is, we are taking his cultivation and giving it to Xiaoling or Suizhen.That cheeky fuck.
Is he trying to take the Empire hostage to force us into taking up the chains of the Crown?
We should. We currently have enough power to do pretty much anything we want. We shouldn't let the empire get damaged. Come on, lets rescue millions of lives. Elf waifu would want us to do it.Why not take Strategic Complexion and actually begin using some of that power to close off or mitigate areas of vulnerability?

So effectively anything bar things that if we could do them would mean we win the quest.Well, anything you want in this world as long as you don't wake up Zang Kong or go directly against the Fates...

If we can get FB Reality Effects, sure. I think FB Elvegekere's Protector got regular non-Beyonded Reality Effects when hybridised with an Essence Grand tho, so we might have to research and FB custom Essence Grand also. Six bp is quite a lot, can't in good conscience support that despite it being cool.I'm sure there was something about him being weaker if he wakes up prematurely.
Speaking of Empire, is anyone up for creating Jade Protector with Philosopher-King like Reality Effect? We already have a Stand, and this way we can do whole "benefits of ruling without actually ruling" thing.
I like it because it is amusing to read, not because of mechanical benefits, to be clear. My subjective enjoyment of the work is significantly improved by Nameless being Spoiled in amusing ways, which is why I support it.One thing I think it is important to remember that people seem to be forgetting is that Try to Change may fail and even if you work Rihaku already us said for not expect results as early as 1-2 years.
Besides, I'm not the only one who finds it strange that people seem consider Spoiled an interesting character trait or something cool despite Rihaku said that Spoiled is a Heroic Passion that only has disadvantages.
