People are used to being able to vote right away and 24 hours for that sorta of thing is too much.

rofl:Missing word.
Called it.
I. Fucking. Called. it.
I hate being right.
Good. MM's just the right person for Vista, if anything Hannah'll probably get custody of Missy.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I know someone called that.
Figures.
Hm. If we want to develop the Privateers, then Boston is not the place to go.
This puts Calamity Witch in the forefront of combat, with the Privateers doing non-combat support.
This is were the Privateers will be doing their vigilante/militia work the most, and Calamity Witch can focus on parahuman interdiction.[ ] Chicago. Follow Assault and Clockblocker. You'll spend most of your time dealing with regular gang violence. Solar Wrath might not be the best spell here.
Working with 'Case-53s', more like shards triggering with no mental or physical safety limiters or there being a Portal to Cauldron's base, would fit Taylor's mentality of removing 'criminals'. If Taylor goes to Chicago, she'll have to face a very uncomfortable truth: You can't punch/blast away poverty and inequality.
As someone who wants to develop the Privateers to mean something in the eyes of the world, I think I will be voting Chicago. But, I can understand why'd people vote for Philadelphia. We'd even have an incentive to awaken the mages among the Privateers, either for combat/noncombat.
So you feel a sense of vindication when the mods put jackboots to their throats?
Or is that just me?
A number of other quests, Gromweld's Alchemical Quest most prominently, also do this moratorium on votes that have large, sweeping effects on the narritive. He did it for moving to a new city, and for choosing what level of bureaucracy they preferred working at. So it's only too much if people don't discuss.

I just read that too. Hmm, must have had a moment of insanity there. That or the Steven Universe video earlier broke my brain.
Sorry.
It won't change my vote, though.

Personally I think we should go to Philly for a number of reasons.
1. Mysterious surge in case 53s. Possibly linked to what ever the shit happened to cauldron and deserves investigation by one of the few people that can cross dimensions or actually figure out what was going on.
2. Sounds suspiciously like what the Simurgh did in the bay, may be able to find a counter for it.
3. Vista is going to become a robot. I myself do not want that to happen. As for reasons why Taylor wouldn't want that to happen is because Vista was becoming a friend to her and was one of her first contacts.
May or may not true. Me, I voted right away as an ingrained habit since I skimmed past the bolded text above the options.
That's just rude and unnecessary. Are you trying to trigger me, or do you not realize how some people will take your tone here?
Most of the quests that I participated in that did something likes this only got a good hours worth of discussion over a 12 hour period. I don't have high hopes for this not being the case.

As someone from the outside (That has not directly invoked your full ire) you've been riding a knife's edge of being just a bit too combative/insulting/overbearing for the last few pages. You didn't seem this way when I first joined up with the story, are you okay?

Seems unnecessary to put up for something like this where it's mostly personal preference.

I just realized another problem. The discussion is split across two forums.
It's always Greg, not knowing when to stop with his shit.
Oh, indeed. I imagine that Tar-baby cape is mortified at what they caused.
Lots of named character fatalities. I see. I bet Assault is despondent about his wife dying.
Hmm. Lots of plot hooks in any of the locations.Anyway, where do you want to move?
Fair warning: if Boston or Philadelphia are picked, there are going to be lots of OCs to staff the branches. More in Philly, though, since it's a larger branch and the only canon character there is Chevalier.
- Boston. Stick around with Armsmaster, Dauntless, Gallant, and New Wave. Sure, it's stable, but that just means it should be easier to uproot the local villains.
- Philadelphia. Follow Miss Militia and Vista. Work with Chevalier and deal with the upsurge in "Case 53s". You just hope no one confuses Samantha for one.
- Chicago. Follow Assault and Clockblocker. You'll spend most of your time dealing with regular gang violence. Solar Wrath might not be the best spell here.
I guess more than Brandish died?
I think that was me.

Hm. With Perfect Storm, he might actually be able to do that kind of batman-esque investigation.
Not everyone who loses their parents becomes 'a robot', you know.
I dunno, is this Tumblr?
I am well aware of how some may interpret it.
Your anecdotal fallacy has been noted. Do you have actual evidence that this will not be the case here?
*shrug* SV/SB has it's share of people who make bad decisions. Mainly Lulz or Shiny-chasing, but sometimes more harmful ones. Ones that mods exist to deal with. There's nothing wrong with feeling satisfaction out of bad behavior being punished. Hell, that's what the Worm fandom revolves around.
Plus, talking back to the OP about a thread/quest rule because they didn't read excuses nothing.
It decides the narritive direction and focus of the quest and its main/secondary characters. It's not something one should decide lightly.
Unfortunately, that appears to be the case. Hope the kids are doing alright.

Shielder and Manpower bit it, too.
You better believe it. Each city has its own quest-line.

Boston for mouse protector
This is violating Rule 3 I think...
*winces*
As with Canon then. The surviving Pelhams are likely not in a good place at all right now.
Re: OCs-
You could PM Gromweld about utilizing Director Uriel if Philly ends up winning the vote.

He deliberately pokes me in every single quest we end up following together. I'm sick of it. But if it's violating a rule I'll just delete the damn message.

Agreed. A grieving Sarah now has to deal with four grieving kids, a depressed in-law, and additionally strained finances of moving to a new city.
This was the last nail in New Wave's coffin. She might even join the Protectorate for support.
SV doesn't have the same rules SB does in explicitly mentioning the 'ignore' function, but only one way to find out.
Dude. If you don't want to be around me, so to speak, and put me on ignore, that's fine. That's what the function exists for. But loudly declaring 'I am ignoring you' is at the very least you overreacting. If I am in the wrong, just walking away quietly and letting me hang myself by my own words is your best option. Don't ruin your case by saying something that takes the heat off of me.

I might, but then I'd be obligated to portray him as well as Grom does. That might be difficult.
@OverReactionGuy , @Always Late
If you want to ignore each other or whatever, fine. But quit the sniping.

Shutting up on the subject.

I like the Boston option purely because of the characters we'd get to interact with there.
The only problem is I'm not sure how we would justify that decision in universe. Out of universe we know that there will be all manner of challenges to be faced and adventures to be had, what with Taylor being the main character of this quest.
I wonder if we could go anywhere besides the options given?

@Silently Watches:
If we decide to head to Chicago -- the Worm Feats and Source Thread over on SB has entries on of members from the past and previous rosters of Chicago Protectorate and Wards teams that I helped put together. I don't remember if I was able to get everything on them, but I believe that I managed to get all of the times in which taylor thought about their powers or when they were used on-screen.
There are a few charaters that don't have much of a personality, like Anomaly and Shuffle, but it should be pretty easy to create personalities and backstories for them.

Oh, I know. I plan to use that thread if Chicago wins. It's the villains I'd have to create.
Well, "only" three actually. Her daughter Crystal, and her two nieces Victoria and Amy. Eric's dead.
