[X] Wild Revelry - Nilul has a point. Maybe this won't be so bad. His other friends must be concerned, and there is a bridge to mend with his family, before the Sesus burn it. Hero's loyalty, Saery's genuine worry - he shouldn't forget about them, as well. He is better at this than he used to be, and maybe he can get some honor-duels out of the thing. It won't be as productive as training, but he'll take what he can get. And... it might be a little bit fun, as well. Though not as fun as training. However, the rampage of riotous celebration that is a full-on Dynastic Calibration Feast with Dragon-Blooded constitutions means he will almost inevitably miss Moon's awakening, as well as several hours of memories. Hopefully Zao will be there to explain things to her.[Chance to earn Background Merits, including potentially Artifacts, Deepen friendships]

[X] Raw Power - Before his Exaltation finishes 'settling,' he will eke out every last bit of performance he can. He will enter a moving meditation of training such as this world has not seen since Odyssial last strode the earth! Also, he will check up on Moon! Training AND Moon, how can this option lose!?[+80,000 XP, you may train up to 240,000 XP worth of Titles in 3 days]

Well, I what do we have that could interest her (and be equal in value for her help)? There is always going for favor-dept, with promises of future assistance when needed. But as Ulyssian would likely help her anyway...
Actually, she isn't inside Zao's conspiracy, right? She just seeked asylum in the academy and Zao granted it, if I remember correctly. How about we bring her to the inner circle alongside with Moon, instead of just exchanging favors? Though we might have to be careful with her if we do so, even if her goals are beneficial to us in the end. Can't exactly be sure with those Chosens of TED.

Looks like a small lead for the various Revelry actions, then. Unless anyone in that faction is extremely adamant about its specifics?
What do you have?
In what sense? He told her you were an Anathema and stuff.

Promise to participate in some of the schools social events where she wants us to go instead of just training, training and training after this? This is the most favorable moment for us to train, so taking time off in the future wouldn't be so bad.
Maybe help her establish contacts herself with our house if she succeeds in preventing us from being shunned by them? Stealing something that she wants? Sabotaging something or someone? Spying? Accursed's assassination services if she needs a one, and if the target is agreeable to us? Though the last one is a little bit extreme for the favor she is asking.
EDIT: And I misread that too. I'm actually confused about what do you mean by that. Stupid brain, not understanding perfectly a non-native language...

Hm, can you make that promise given your word to Zao?
Well, you do know she is an Anathema of some kind.

Hmm. Maybe cut out the social stuff, and focus on the spying/sabotaging/assassination -stuff, so that we can get actually test and hone our skills in non-simulated situations?
Edited my post about this part, though it seems I might have been just confused about being confused about what you meant.

I've been convinced by our lack of XP to change votes.

I ♥ anime
Do you have cookies?
I have been wondering about Lea being still alive.. Had there not been more than 5000 years since the primordial wars? I thought that the lifespan of lunars is 2000-3000..
Rihaku

Better, we have XP! Moon will make you cookies if you want, she's great at baking!
Probably. She's probably never baked before, but still good at it. Overpowered Excellencies!

There are many routes to immortality for even lesser Exalts, much less a character on the level of Lea.
Sorcerers, for example, can become Immortal with a single working!
What do you guys that want revelry with Nilul's help want to do?

The Internet
Hmm, maybe I should type up some of the Titles you can get if Raw Power wins...
Would that actually be worth it? I don't know how much you'd benefit from such rumors, compared to what you're proposing. But it is true you don't have many less terminal things to offer...
Nilul's not a GS, she's a DB with an overpowered bloodline that gives her access to Ebon Dragon Charms and Breeding 6. She does have a Fiend Caste Mark and Anima power.

Honestly, a HUGE chunk of the decisions made so far were in favour of sacrificing personal power. Keep doing this enough, and eventually Uly will be too weak to throw in when the chips are down.

I'm betting that quite many people would jump to Raw Power if they get at least some hints what they would include.
True. Well, it was just an idea I threw in. Maybe I'll come up with an another later.
Wait, what? Was that mentioned/implied also in the previous quests? Because if so, I have completely missed it. Or is that sarcasm? Hard to tell with just text medium.

Having a really great time right now
The Raw Power guys see it as maximizing the benefits of Power & Security. I see Wild Revelry as ameliorating the damage from those same choices.
I'm not disputing that a stronger Ulyssian is a good thing. I'm disputing that you actually know what 'character development' means, since you're using it to describe Uly training alone while all his friends hang out and get wasted together elsewhere, rather than the vote actually interacting with people and growing as a character.Savonarola said:

I can't speak for everyone who chose MAX Revelry, but I'm fine with folding it into the general revelry vote.
Revelry and Raw Power are basically choosing between a rock and a hard place. Choosing raw power results in us having more XP and personal power, but negatively affecting our friends and our position in the Realm, as well as alienating several of the Realm's elite, thus giving Anys more leverage to use against us in the future.
Choosing Revelry allows us to draw upon the resources available to Dynast, strengthening our bonds with our friends and position in the Realm, while also heading off future problems before they becoming much harder to deal with. However, it does result in us having less XP and personal strength in the short run. Of course, if we wanted to leave the Realm in a few months, then this outcome would be okay, but seeing the amount of XP we invested into securing our position and identity as a DB of the Realm, I feel that it would be prudent to ensure that we can make full use of it.
Another major consideration is time. Mending bridges with our family is a time critical issue that would only get harder we drag it out, possibly until it can no longer be done. However, the benefits of Raw Power can be done at any time, no matter how inefficient, as XP can be earned, and titles flash bought if necessary, which cannot be said for the benefits of Revelry as it can only really be done now.
Furthermore, it is not like choosing Revelry will not increase Uly's capabilities. While our direct power will not increase, having more backing and artifacts to draw upon would also give us additional options, if different from the ones we would get from having higher personal power. Thus, instead of thinking of Revelry as losing us 80k XP, it can be thought of us using 80k XP to buy more background dots.

This should help make sure our house doesn't disown us and hopefully further bind Nilul to us by deepening our friendship
plus we're a reincarnation of a first age Solar, more Waifu's for the Waifu throne!
