You can do a write-in, but the conversation might not be pretty.

I wouldn't expect it to be, but it's better to do it now and take the earned pain rather than to let this wound fester, rot, and decay any further.

Silently Watches said:
Hmm, I suppose you can, yes. It might fit best as a write-in addition to one of the other votes (I think it works especially well with Endangered Species, but that's just my personal opinion and I won't require you to do that) rather than a new vote all on its own.

I see. Good to know.
[X] Endangered Species – You asked for powers with which to eliminate the gangs. You even received the powers of someone who apparently had made it her life's work to do the same. It's long past time you got started on fulfilling that promise. Find a gang and wipe it off the map.
-[X] E88
--[X] Focus on Stormtiger first, you want to eliminate their fliers and Blasters before you work through the rest.
--[X]Make contact with New Wave and coordinate with them and the Privateers.
[X]Dad, we need to talk - You've been keeping alot from Danny, now and for a long time. You need to stop it, and this info on Coil can't go unsaid.

Could I convince you to make the above additions to your vote? I'm open for discussion over the Danny conversation vote wording.

[X] Light in the Darkness – Purity is one of the strongest Blasters in the country, and more than once you've heard her be referred to as "evil Legend". This is not someone you can afford to let go unchallenged, even if she hasn't been seen in Nazi company for a while.

So is the Big Game Hunting Quest line finished, or can we work off of that one as far as Socialization with the hero groups - that may or may not end up in fighting against some dastardly evildoers on the way - and improving our image?

Also, I'm somewhat glad that you included the phone tapping part in the update.

Yes, Big Game Hunting is over. Originally it had three parts, but since the re-voting about the Guardian Beast made it a random choice, you started it by default and I just re-numbered the parts so that the patrol with Vista and Kid Win was Part 1 rather than Part 2.

Also, I'm somewhat glad that you included the phone tapping part in the update.

I do my best to put what you guys vote on into the chapter. Sometimes I can't get everything to work (for instance, the money laundering part), but if I can, I will.

(X's filled in on SB, but posting it here without the vote at all the rest makes no sense)

[ ] Eye of the Tiger – Spend your free time in the training simulator
-[ ] tell Danny after the phone call to coil our reasoning is coil is a thinker and we wanted to make his interaction believable

I think this is the best thing to do right now - we have a lot of irons in the fire already without going out to look for more trouble. For the people voting to go after Purity, though, could something perhaps be added about trying to find out (like by asking her before going in spells blasting, frex) whether she's been targeting the ABB because they're rivals of E88 or because she's split from the empire and going after the criminals who aren't people she personally knows? It can probably be phrased better, but a Blaster 8-9 with Mover subrating makes a better ally than enemy.

I don't know what Watches has said on SB, but he's stated here that by now Purity's concentrating on the ABB and won't be willing to go do something else.

Keep in mind the question that led to that response. Specifically, you asked if you could recruit Purity to fight Coil without putting any effort into the quest that explicitly involved interacting with her. I'd have given a similar answer if you had, say, proposed calling in Chevalier. She doesn't know you, she has her own objectives, and like I said then, she would be very distrusting if you popped up out of nowhere and said "Hey, would you like to come with me to where the Protectorate is assembled? They aren't targeting you, promise!".

Whether or not she'd be willing to work with you after you actually talk to her is another matter entirely.

... fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck!

Now I wish I'd asked about that before I started the bandwagon.

In light of the QM clarifying that I've been full of shit and Purity is possible to recruit, could I convince you all to switch to this new vote? All that's different is Light in the Darkness replacing hitting the E88, the New Wave contact/coordination with Calamity Witch and the Privateers will remain.
[X] Light in the Darkness – Purity is one of the strongest Blasters in the country, and more than once you've heard her be referred to as "evil Legend". This is not someone you can afford to let go unchallenged, even if she hasn't been seen in Nazi company for a while.

I take it that's a yes?

I don't think this is what you meant to eat with your copy-pasta.

Just note that the Light In The Darkness option as written is approaching her as a villain who's isolated herself from support lately, not someone making a potential heel-face turn.

I do believe I have addressed this before.

Right now, Taylor thinks Purity is a villain, hence the aggressive nature of the phrasing. I never said anything about how it would play out once they meet.

E88 has numbers, but without Stormtiger and Rune, they got no counter to a flying blaster

Why do you value going after the E88, when they'll hit back no matter what, over recruiting multiple allies?

Honestly, if anything we should take out the Merchants first. They're a less destabilizing influence and a really good way to get the Privateers on the map.

Going after the E88 would be foolish right now, and all it would do is turn a very big gang's attention on the Privateers since they're really easy targets compared to us. High risk and low reward for now.

And I remember that, now that you've mentioned it again. The discussion in the thread seems mostly to be about recruiting her when she's mentioned at all, though, so still valid as a reminder. Kinda?
