I believe that religious strife could be caused by a tie, Academia Nut even hinted at such by saying that Warriors were going to be mobilised to break up slap fights anyway, if we got a tie and their was indeed religious strife, that might manage to hit our stability, and considering unanimous votes give benefits I'd not put it out of the realm of possibility that ties would bring issues and penalties

It is a possible resolution to the tie problem.

We get two deities in the center, but the clashing of ideas caused by it causes stability loss to compensate mechanically for cheating like that.

Also a possibility that the Stability loss occurs no matter what due to the warrior infusion...

Oh Bytah, he actually said Gygo! That's so last century, I can't even believe it!

It's no wonder he votes for that old and dusty Crow. Some people just need to get with the times~
 
I don't find the tie thing very funny. It could rather obviously mean a stability hit.

I don't see a problem with Crow as the main draw of the Temple- this Temple isn't really for the entire public per se, it's for the shamans/priests as much as anyone and that's fine. Priests being told 'you're the king's advisor' could be bad and religions too directly linked to agriculture have a nasty habit of picking up tithing/greed/corruption issues since there is loads of money tied up in the harvest.

I actually am pretty enthusiastic about our god of kings, he/she seems loads better than many historical equivalents, but if anything I feel making a visible display that some things are beyond even a king to influence is wise.

All that, and I want a giant creepy Crow statue in our capitol for tourism.

People are seriously voting to maintain a tie?

The outcomes I can see:
1) everything works out and we get a shared shrine.
2) the religious wars continue. We lose stability and/or don't make any progress on the temple
I see the second as being both more likely and a far worse outcome than the first.

We have automatically done an Enforce Authority action on our shamans to keep their riots from escalating. It's definitely gonna be pretty bad no matter what. A tie means that it could continue being bad.

And that is entirely wrong if you want to learn more about the natural order. Hell, we made a decision to not listen to the guy who hit his head on the ground too hard a while ago, but when the shamans are looking for a sign to answer their prayers, brain damage counts.
 
A tie stands a good chance of the king saying 'shut it, both of you, both will get in the temple now make it work.'

I don't think riots will be a thing as a result, rather, it's the most likely to stop the riots if we want to be paranoid to a silly level, as both sides are forced to compromise, the result of democracy!

Next turn would be voting how that compromise actually went. That is, would it be a divine marriage, or... something. I'm drawing a blank on ideas.
 
[X] [Temple] Fythhagyna
[X] [Crow] Benevolent
But Omegahugger, you did vote!

Yes I did, but I left out Nebevolent the last time! Plus I looked so fun I couldn't help myself~
 
"One group argued for crow and another was arguing for Fythhagyna. A third even argued for both." Is what I'm guessing the narrative would boil down to.

I don't think a tie will make things worse than they already are. We're within two votes. In any other governing body, that's basically an even split.

By that logic a tie will change nothing, so there's no point courting it either.

*pinches nose*

Okay, if no one is willing to defect, I will change my vote in one minute.
