[X] Kept exploring his options (SE Pt 1 Continues)
 
Seems like keep exploring his options is catching up, it might win if the vote stays open long enough.


Curious that the story still isn't tagged 40k, is it a hint that we are in pretty AU setting?

Could just be for spoiler reasons.

I think it was the right choice before we figured it out, because it would influence our choices, but now that it is obvious, I am not sure the spoiler matter that much, considering it being 40k get increasingly obvious from pretty early as the first major plot arc.

Tags only matter for new players.

Spoilers also only matter for new players.

Tags can attract 40k fans, and I am saying that particular spoiler mattered more when we were making the initial choices before it was obvious.

Yeah... but a lot (and I mean like a lot) of 40K fans are kind of rabidly anti-chaos. If he starts recruiting heavily from that pool, he's going to wind up with cycle after cycle of desperate, futile attempts to make this "anything but Chaos quest". I'm pretty sure that QM doesn't want that.

...and, as @Orbmorb said, it is important from an "experience of reading it" perspective. Arguably, that's the more important. Like, would knowing that we were in 40K have changed our votes all that much back then? Really?

I think I have elements vs gods figured out.

Khorne has to be adjacent to fire. Nurgle makes most sense as between earth and water. Tzeentch is opposite Nurgle, so should be between air and fire. Leaving Khorne as earth and fire, and Slannesh as air and water.

Khorne----------fire------------Tzeentch
-
earth-----(wheel center)-- air
-
Nurgle----------water------- Slannesh

There are in-universe arguments about this, but among the Lotus Eye sect the Storm Lord is generally considered Water+Air for the associations with storms, clamour, and blood.

    • IIRC in 40 Millennium of Cultivation, Gun Cultivators are just Sword Cultivators who use Sword Pills as bullets.

    But we are a Body Cultivator with the equivalent of Thousand Tempering Hundred Refining & Great Art of the Swallowing Whale.

    With our focus on Alchemy, our personal Cultivation should be getting swole with drugs. Do we turn ourself into a mobile heavy weapons emplacement?
