Was there ever a time where an EC got to vote twice in the same person?

Voted best in category in the Users' Choice awards.
Cool ideas aren't actually that hard to come up with. It's realizing those ideas into narrative that's hard, and all of that gets shared.
Quite often during the Time of the Three Emperors.
Snorri laid out quite well why you managed to avoid most of them, but there were a couple of points that could have gone very differently. If the Tzeentch daemons hadn't kicked off Skaven vs Chaos Dwarf skirmishes you probably would have faced one or the other, and if the Knights hadn't done so well at keeping the Iron Wolves from being able to scout out the Expedition you definitely would have had to fight your way through them.

Yep, definetly missed this quest. Such an amazing moment. Somebody should commission art for this moment. Like this sounds cover worthy. A Grey Magister billowing fog, seemingly carrying a half dozen steel behemoths over the hills, facing toward a horizon with a mountain framed by the winds and chaos, four feint silhouettes in the far background. Frame it.
Wonder if that crit confers any bonuses.
Well shit. I have no idea what this means and it's time for bed. It's like that moment in a weekly anime you're watching where you get to the good part... And then you hear "... find out next time on..."
I'm willing to do a push for Markgraf only.
I'm (and possibly a few) are only voting Waystones to keep loremaster from winning.
If Markgraf gets ahead of loremaster I would drop Waystones in a heart beat.
Fuck it.

Come on people! Let's push to get past loremaster and then Waystones!
It's still an hour off 24 hours since voting opened, and I'll probably leave it open at least another 24 after that.

Procrastinator Supreme
At this point, I'm willing to concede to anything but Waystones. It just isn't as viscerally appealing because of how much investment it'll likely require to see any benefit vs. directly solving problems people are currently facing right this moment. And Waystones isn't time-sensitive, so we can put it off for the future.

Ah. I thought that was either a modifier or the in post explanation for all the damn lucky rolls hidden we got on each stretch of the expedition. Like, there must have at least been a chance to encounter those displaced hungry Ogres or some trap laid by the Lord of Change or a well placed Chaos Dwarf artillery barrage passing Iron Wolves trying to slay a Dragon.
That's... Not how the votes work. Not voting for second place doesn't push third place in any way closer to first place. The right time to drop mediocre approvals is once the disliked option has fallen beneath a liked one, or if you think you won't be around to change your vote before closing and are willing to take a gamble.
I guess there could be some complicated strategic calculation where you try to push your favorite to second place so that when the next batch of players wake up/come back from work and see their "never X" option winning they'll approval yours and create the image that the previous second vote is out of the running. But something like that seems too far fetched to be worth the effort.
Is there anyway to get you to drop loremaster?
I really feel like it's the only one that doesn't have a actual plot, it's just mucking about until Boney things of something.
Even Waystone has a goal.
On the other hand, Markgraf is about stamping out vampires." And bodyguard is about protecting the future empior.
They have a goal= plot.

Arguably, loremaster has the soft, unspoken goal of "make Belegar High King". I mean, there's not a lot of endstates for "I want Karak Eight Peaks to retake its place at the forefront of the Karaz Ankor" that don't end in High Kingship.
I do t read that, (and not just because I don't like the option)
Belegar has said on screen that he doesn't think k8ps will truly filled and finished I. His life time.
There is no way he is thinking about high king in that framework.

Come on guys, just a few days ago we were all talking about how Belegar could use a real Loremaster as an established hold, and not a Wizard with a fake beard!
He likes us and doesn't want us to feel unwelcome, but going around solving problems for other dwarves isn't what's best for Karak Eight Peaks, it's trying to find justification for Mathilde to not feel bad abojt stickong around.
(At least, that was my reading of it, but I'm not in the guy's head.)

No way does Belegar ever try to become High King. He's stressed enough as a regular King, and Karak Eight Peaks is too young to be splitting his attention like that.

The amount of goodwill we could earn for K8P as Loremaster at Large probably outweighs the benefits of having an actual loremaster.
With Loremaster at Large, Belegar is going for a less tangible gain: Hope.

Man, you have to understand that there are lots and lots of people that doesn't have any problem with remaing Loremaster...
The bullshit about being the "coward" option, the "comfortable" option, the "plotless" option doesn´t fucking matter to most of us... We like Belegar, we like working with Dwarfs, we like the new options that open up now, we like that is a job with lots of varied adventures, so we want to remain loremaster.
Being the "outside of the box" troubleshooter for the wide Karaz Ankow has been a thread favorite for a long time, there was some discussion about the "Belegar should take a lawyer instead of a wizard" but as you a see the people who thought that are a vocal minority not representative of the feelings of the thread at large.
And not being good with Dwarven Laws is a relatively minor inconvenience when your advisor can pull Darven Holds out of the Aethyr... We are giving the Dwarfs hope, and that is something that we are uniquely prepared to continue doing.

I would definitly switch away from Loremaster if the race was between that and either Bodyguard or Markgraf, but as long as Waystones are ahead I'll keep loremaster in the vote as well.
