The Vote Marker bubble will burst soon. We need to regulate these subprime markets!

I call this an absolute win in my book. Pursuing [REDACTED] is doomed to fail anyway.
Ah, damned by faint praise. But I suppose we can survive a not-disaster.
Sorry, I was off the computer and couldn't respond! My writein has approximately no traction, and I don't have enough markers to get a proper bandwagon going. Vote as you wish.[X] HoratioVonBecker
Changing now just in case, since I'm going to take a nap and I don't want to accidentally leave a creditor out in the rain.

Even so, Save is only 18 votes ahead of ADS, we can turn this thing around. You know you want to!
As everyone knows, Decimator's Affliction kills people. It drains 10% of the life force in the area every year. With 8760 hours in a year, that's .0011415% an hour. Not much, right? Wrong.[ ] The Decimator's Affliction - You will naturally absorb the total fundamental life force of the realm you currently inhabit at a rate of 10% per year. Area affected is exceptionally large and scales with your own power; a weak Progression-type might only affect half a continent, while a Combat-type would affect an entire solar system. In the absence of sufficient life force, you will begin to bleed essence, losing components of your powers, skills, identity, memories, and ontological veracity at a proportional rate. Though there are many paths of mitigation available, none of them are pleasant or easy.
.000011415*1,000,000,000 is... 11415 people worth of life force nommed per hour, at the low end. Three to thirty people-worth a second. That's a lotta damage, and we don't have any flex tape. This is assuming this place is the only inhabited area in the radius."Holy shit," Aobaru said breathlessly. "There must be billions living here. Tens of billions, maybe."
And it definitely does matter. So between "cutting it close" and "go over time," I have a clear preference. ADS is too far behind, I think, but vote Scenic Route for love and justice!It doesn't matter if you go over time if you're powerful enough to solo this realm.
