Most of this has been people going "so depressing" and Grom going "it's not that bad!" then everyone else quoting Grom when more people come in and go "so depressing" without reading through the aforementioned eight pages. There's actually been very little discussion on the vote, which is just to pick one of three options without stunts.
Edit: Disregard this, as FunkyEntropy has informed that I was committing a newbie error.

I think the final count isn't bad compared to what happens in canon?RCa said:
Thing is, upgrading attributes is a month, so that hypothetical upgrade could go hand in hand with upgrading either one or multiple attributes if Gromweld lets us train many at the same time like he is letting us do with abilities.landcollector said:
If we can upgrade multiple attributes at once, we're probably going to want another 28 XP (Dexterity and Intelligence at 6 XP, Strength and Charisma at 8 XP).
I strongly recommend that people drop their specialty votes and stick with just Presence. The 2-6 XP saved by doing so is a good investment on a Charm Slot or Attribute upgrade in the future.

Considering how shit we are at Socialize, why shouldn't we take Socialize (Swarms) right now? We're probably going to be continuing to talk to people through our swarms now we've made it known we can, and we're only at one dot Socialize at the moment.1986ctcel said:

No specialties this time please. We have more than enough on our plate without using up every last drop on misc stuff that sounds cool for the moment.

we have high clarity right now it's probably not worth it at the moment.Zen said:
Given that we're in Alchemcial form right now (and we're mote tapped, so we can't even look like attractive 20-yr. old Taylor Hebert), we will terrify any unlucky survivors we come across (NOTE: it is possible to die through sheer terror as your heart stops). At least the capes can handle it.Zechstein said:
The image of Behemoth on his throne has brightened my day.kestrel404 said:
Anyway, my own little omake:
Miss Militia sighed in relief as the healers confirmed that Kid Win and Gallant would be fine. All in all... despite how badly it had started, this was probably the LEAST catastrophic Behemoth fight she had ever participated in. It was not lost on her than this miraculously low casualty rate was principally owed to the Wards' newest recruit. Surveying the scene, she found Weaver, still in her somewhat disconcerting robot form...
...Wait. Why was Weaver holding Armsmaster's nanothorn knife and quickly progressing toward Tattletale...?
To her credit, Miss Militia only froze for half a second when the junior Ward grabbed the blonde Undersider, slammed her against the wall, and held the tinkertech weapon right next to her head. The world around them seemed to stop as everyone gazed at the scene, tensing as they wondered if the Endbringer truce was being broken right there and then.
"The Endbringer truce prescribes that, when an Endbringer strikes, parahumans put any conflict among themselves on hold until the threat has been repelled." Weaver's tone was mechanical. Emotionless. "The continued existence of the truce is vital for the long-term survival of the human race. Without it, every Endbringer battle would result in unmitigated defeat."
The nanothorn knife moved slightly closer, disintegrating a few loose strands of the villainess's hair.
"The truce was broken today." There was still no trace of emotion in Weaver's voice. "For the sake of mankind's survival, this cannot be tolerated. As an accomplice, it would be advisable for you to-"
"COIL! IT WAS COIL!"
Miss Militia had never encountered Tattletale in person until that day, but she'd read her file. It described her as cool under pressure, with a penchant for engaging in mind games with her opposition. Right now, though, she was either panicking or doing a convincing job of pretending to. Maybe it was her recent ordeal with Noelle. Maybe it was exhaustion. Maybe it was the aura of terror emanating from Weaver. Maybe it was all of the above. Or maybe, Miss Militia considered with unease, maybe whatever Thinker power the villainess had was telling her that Weaver WAS about to disintegrate her head.
"IT WAS COIL ALL ALONG!" Tattletale screamed frantically. "He used to have this power that lets him experience two timelines at once, and keep the one he liked! But ever since you showed up, his power started working differently, and now he gets all those timelines precognitively, so he can try as many approaches to a problem as he likes before finding one that satisfies him! But you're invisible to his precognition, so he's decided you were the only thing standing between him and taking over the city! That's why he had a sniper shoot you on your unveiling! That's why he had us kidnap your dad so he could brainwash him! He kidnapped me last year from the street an has been forcing me to work for him on pain of death! He's also hired Circus, and the Travelers, and I think sometimes he gives jobs to Uber and Leet! He's DEFINITELY got some infiltrators in the PRT! He unleashed Noelle in the middle of the battle! I can pinpoint where his headquarters are! THAT'S ALL I KNOW I SWEAR!"
"Very well."
Miss Militia eased a little as Weaver let the Undersider go. She then watched as the Ward approached Legend and Alexandria:
"Coil not only broke the unwritten rules when he tried to murder me on my unveiling. He broke the Endbringer truce to advance his own agenda. He needs to be arrested, and no later than today. We are going to raid his base."
nice. Slight nitpick, this is used when Taylor speaks through her Swarm. This is high Clarity speech.sun tzu said:
This would be a good idea, except for the fact that we're on the -4 health level. Right now, a couple lucky shots from a tinkertech rifle WILL KILL US. The risk is not worth it.sun tzu said:The image of Behemoth on his throne has brightened my day.

[X] Save The Capes
Don't underestimate how important a cape may be. And don't dismiss the possibility of a cape we save being able to make a difference.
And Alchemicals are Champions. They are the heroes of the state, of the people. They do the things others can't.
Also, one of the Autochthonian values is efficiencies. So saving somebody who can later save more people is good.
Would you hold to that "meh, capes are useless" mentality if the Capes we can save include Panacea? Or what about Flechette? Clockblocker? Tattletale? Armsmaster? Dragon? Dragon qualifies as a cape, you know. Even if she's not in danger here, it still is worth pointing out, given that you dismissed most parahumans here as being useless and worthless.Zechstein said:

Gang war is going to be a thing yeah, given how big an impact removing Kaiser and Lung from the picture in canon caused.HyperspatialParasite said:
Here, it might be even worse. Lung seems to be alive and in good health, with a sizable fame increase from wrestling goddamned Behemoth man to man, but all of his holdings and many of his men are down. He's going to be claiming new grounds, with sizable recruitment.
Times like this makes you realize how much easier the social situation would be if we had Personality Override Spike.

Dragon is the one saying it, not us. I doubt the choice will effect our clarity overly much. We're likely to wind up in a situation that will quickly regain any clarity we may or may not loose, because we will still have a high clarity, which lends itself to getting more clarity.Jinnt said:
