Voted best in category in the Users' Choice awards.

Fuck it, I'm going with Bodyguard, it's the option I really really want, and if it loses to Markgraf, despite me not liking it one bit, so be it, but if no one votes only for it then it'll never make a come back.

I want Edgelord, and I'm fine with Bodyguard and Waystone. But there really isn't a point pretending that I don't actively hate loremaster.

Could you please tone down the negativity? Repeating that you hate an option does little to endear it to others and might actually be counterproductive. Sure, you dislike that option, you don't need to write twenty posts reiterating it.

Speaking from someone who's hyped at any of the 4 leading options winning.
 
I am generally against voting in quests that I do not at least post in semi-regularly (and read most of the discussion there-in) as it greatly guilts me to do so. But I have read every update and a non-insignificant portion of ongoing discussion throughout each update, so I think I qualify enough in my own mind.

You do! This one has a lot of people coming out of the woodwork.
 
Bodyguard > Spymaster > Border Princess > Markgraf >>> Loremaster >>>>> Waystones

Being on the autistic spectrum, I find the prospect of acting as a liaison between people with historical reasons to hate each other, remarkable egos, and at least one language notorious for miscommunication potential... I find that horrifying.
 
Waystones > > Bodyguard >Loremaster >>> Markgraf

Bodyguard and Loremaster are pretty much the same, one propping Belegar and the Other Mandred, and imperial vs dwarf focus, Edgelord just doesnt appeal to me, too much responsability when we are better off doing or own thing.
 
well going to bed:

one last call for Markgraf.

A vote for Markgraf is a vote for Humanity beating the dark

A vote against Markgraf is a vote for this asshole:


do you really want this asshole to win?

The more convincing argument for me was about the possibilities of taking the Dammerlichtreiter title and adding to it with the Protector. But I am already voting for the top three that aren't Waystone, so no need to convince me.

For me, it is Loremaster > Waystones >> Markgraf > Bodyguard, but really, I'm happy with any of these.

I love being a dwarf quest and I want to keep being a dwarf quest. Failing that, I want to help out one of my other favorite characters. My chief concern with Markgraf is "I don't think we'll have free time to research unless we manage to get a source of research half-actions from Roswita," since I don't think we can meaningfully run a research institute in K8P and do a good job as Markgrafin. My chief concern with Bodyguard is "I don't like Heidi much and am worried about being in an uncomfortable position with regard to divided loyalties." But these are not dealbreakers for me.

Gonna repost the advice I gave earlier today:

After the original list of options came out and we started voting on it, I spent a reasonable amount of time going through the list, thinking about all the ones I didn't want to win, imagining a world in which it had won, and trying to figure out "what aspects of the quest would I still really like" and "what unique aspects of this option would I appreciate despite my opposition to the option as a whole." It was a very good exercise for settling the anxiety that comes with emotional investment in an interactive piece of fiction, and I highly recommend it.

It's a great argument, which is why I drew more attention to it. Omegahugger might be our resident memeposter mascot, but he's also got wonderful insights when he effortposts.

i hope that at the very least even if Bodyguard doesnt win that we can take a couple turns to plug the holes in the Royal families net and check in on them every now and then. I mean theres only what 8 votes separating Waystone from Bodyguard so i still have hope

I think if people who liked Bodyguard stopped tactical supporting Waystones/Edgelord then it'd catch up.
 
As rankings seem to be hip with the beardlings these days, here's mine for the top four.

LaL = Waystone >> Edgelord >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Bodyguard.

The only Imperial politics that I can stomach is College Politics and anti-vampire politics. I have no interest in the rungs and rings Heidi's wrapped up in. Besides, I wish to continue being a bad influence on Ranald via our activities abroad.

I'm also hoping to look at Under-Nuln regardless of what we choose.

"Vdova, cześć, Kislev!" is Ljiljana's cry as the storm she has become the center of impacts and bowls over the palisade of the Kul settlement, and you guide your Shadowsteed to jump over the shattered wood and then dismiss it, landing lightly on your feet inside the camp. You pride yourself on your adaptability, so it's time to adapt. You reach out with your magical senses to try to read the terrain around you, even as your eyes and ears insist there's nothing but the white of snow and the howl of wind.

Damn if this whole sequence doesn't demonstrate how terrifying a Warhammer Mage can be.

It hilarious how many crits we got on the way to the Cup, and the failed a bunch of checks in a row. Then Lily rolls a 19 after flexing on a whole Kurgan tribe solo. Damn dice or so fickle. Can't wait to see the next section!
