*looks at tally*

Of course it would be because the lower Ardat votes are all in separate plans, I really hope the corruption hit from this doesn't push us past the point of no return.
To hopefully assuage some fears, I'm not going to lock Verge into Ardat's eternal, unthinking servant, especially over a simple pair of votes.

There are certain thresholds that can have negative and positive effects, but this isn't going to lock Verge onto a single path.

Right, still hoping it doesn't meat that we've hit that first one, in part because lust is one of my least favorite sins in a protagonist but it has calmed me a bit.

Edit: That said even if do hit it I hope it more takes the form of Verge thinking with his ID instead of the more stereotypical interpretation of lust.

Digimon don't have biological sexes, so sexual desire isn't gonna be a thing. Lust in this quest seems to be interpreted as more just like, primal desires for various experiences, as opposed to greed, which is centered more around possessing things.
 
So I clearly didn't phrase my comment well.

What I was trying to say was essentially-

If no. Bringing up points in favor of Ardat counts as guilt tripping, then you then you bringing up points against is equally fear mongering.

In other words, both sides are making valid arguments so lets not go resorting to name calling just to discredit someone else's argument as that can go both ways.

Had 5 minutes left in my lunch break and typing on my phone is not ideal.

Sorry if I came off wrong.
No worries, although I will point out Fear Mongering means to spread false and/or exaggerate something to create fear amongst a group. So pointing out the spread of the virus that was shown is not fear mongering when it's actually happening.
Also the singular comment I called guilt tripping was in fact that since the main reasoning of it was to make us feel guilty for "abandoning" her.

Are we sure sex isn't a thing here? As digimon get very human in the higher tiers and we already found out their had drugs through crystals and the like.

Plus with how the demon lord of lust is a thing with a very telling form and how marriage is a thing lends me to think they can.

Eeeeeh, I mean. with a lot of em it's just like, you can see right in front of you that there's nothing down there. And the crystals are more like adrenaline or combat drugs than anything recreational. Even when Verge is admiring Ardat's body in a corruption-addled daze, it seems like he's appreciating her on more of like, an aesthetic level. Like she's the pinnacle of beauty or whatever.

It wasn't to make people feel guilty. It was to state that I think it would be a bad, short-sighted decision. I apologize if it came off as an attack.

Oh it that's than the entirety of the blame falls upon me than for escalating things. Also it was never felt like a attack if anything at worse it was just prick-ish. So yeah my B.

Also as Digital entities that get reborn upon death I don't see a reason as to why Digimon would posses the required body parts to have sex.

Also the marriage of Digimon was done once in Xros Wars and well Xros was just weird.

To answer this. No digisex is not currently a thing in the Inheritance universe. Digimon are basically like ken and barbie dolls when it comes to bathing suit areas.

That said there is a form of attraction. "Male" digimon do enjoy the sight of thing and vice versa. But it's not the same as physical lust.

Marriage is also not something that's been brought up even once in quest. It's not really a known concept at large, though thanks to the random things like books that pop up in the digital world some mon have read about it.

On the crystals weren't we told by drexal15 that they are used for recreation, it just the much more common use is for other stuff because of their effects?

An as for the Verge thing, couldn't that always just be a case of Verge not knowing what to do in that respect and/or not being high enough on the corruption side yet? As it would seem odd for such a thing to be completely absence from this world considering how much it leans on the human mindset for the frame work of the world.
 
So uh, weird topic aside. Here's a tally on how things are going.

Man, looks like Pit will get the short end of the Friendship stick once again. We really never get around to spending much time with the guy do we?

Yeah, I wish I was able to vote for more time with him. Especially considering every option that would increase his zealotry ended up happening. He's in dangerous territory.

I just feel that being there for Ardat in a very difficult time is more important than just checking up on Pit because it's been a while, you know? I get that he hasn't gotten any focus lately, but he'll have plenty of chances for it at a time that isn't critical for another friend. That Pit vote has Ardat at dead last in terms of attention she's getting, right after she got this really bad news. She's going to quietly have a breakdown by herself for a whole week, and assuming that Verge can just swoop in and fix it later on is very dangerous.

She's a future DEMON LORD, not some little kid. What if she chooses to just run away and start life over elsewhere due to feeling abandoned, then appears later on leading an army and bent on conquest? We need to help her NOW, when she needs it the most.

Given the circumstances, this is more them choosing to spend time with us than us choosing to spending time with them. We can't exactly walk up to them and ask to spend time together.

So its more her choosing to spend her time doing something else.

That said either way I think we need to keep a better eye on Pit in general then we have been doing, we don't know for sure if he's also a Scion but his presence in Scratches squad does have some implications and his pseudo Ultimate evolution was horrifying even if he isn't.... and he's hanging out with a zealot.

Quick frankly that has a very, very high chance of ending badly given how unreasonable zealots in general tend to be especially when they have their world view challenged.

It's NOT! These votes aren't controlling other characters! Ardat wouldn't decide to completely ignore Verge right after an awful experience for no reason!

Seriously, why would she do that? Why would she, as a character, decide to completely stop being in contact with Verge at a time like now? Obviously, she wouldn't. This vote is about who Verge decides to spend time with.

Eh so long as Ardat remains the only exception to Verge not seeming to hold much interest in it (And even then it seems mostly because of the virus) I'll be happy, I actually found it kind of a funny part of his character.

Anyway I've made a decision for my personal views regarding colored text.... I want to vote for Red or Dark Purple whenever they show up as those are bits of Verge's own personality rather than external influences.... Grey ok for me but that's because it's one of the weaker ones and as bad as Yggy himself is.... well I'm decently sure he might called the world tree in this digital world for very good reason.

tbh I'd prefer Ardat in the third position, but this vote is the highest one that has her in third or lower since I don't want her any higher on priority than that
 
@Zwart Jaeger I saw you voted to put Ardat on top. Would you be willing to switch to the Sparks>Ardat>Pit>Beat vote instead to help it win?

None of the options completely ignore anyone. The vote wouldn't tell us to list all 4 options if any of them were getting ignored.

And its not controlling other characters. Everyone comes to visit on their own. Its really just a vote about who comes to visit most often and who gets a visit actually written out instead of happening off screen.

Pit didn't even get a single line of dialogue in the previous update, dude. I'd say last place is pretty much ignored.

Think, man. Why? Why would the characters just randomly change the frequency with which they visit? Ardat isn't going to just choose to go quietly read a magazine and be totally fine not spending any time with Verge right after a horrible experience. It'll be more like Verge going "I'm tired right now, maybe another time", and then inviting other characters to come in when he hears them pass by his car.

Everyone has their own lives. The update did tell us how Pit was spending his time. He was too busy doing other things to really come by.

Characters are allowed to be productive through their own agency, without Verge's involvement.
