It wasn't so much a funny vote as much as people legitimately likeing the idea and wanting to roll with it to see where it goes.
There was serious interest there mate, stop treating it like it was a malicious or careless act.
We also had no good reason to believe it would actually cause stability loss other than a few people being very paranoid.

So, what, some of the flip-floppers went back and deleted their votes when it got close to being time and they realized they didn't actually didn't want a tie?
Not seems. This was a simple, malicious attempt to disrupt the quest for no reason other than to disrupt the quest.
I don't think that this should have qualified as a tie.
@Academia Nut: Don't reward the trolls. They wanted a tie. Don't give them what they want.

It's a fortune cat with the seven fortune gods and goddess.
Japan being Japan.
Also, lifted left paw attracts wealth and lifted right paw attracts people. So this cat is being extra fortunate to it's patron.
We had one happen just a turn ago from the clan adoption rules.
Riots have been confirmed. Riots and stability losses go hand-in-hand.
Luckily it sounds like we may have gotten an automatic Enforce Authority from sending in the troops, which pushes the chances down to ~7%. And this does have better results if we get lucky.

There's no trolling. There's no facetiousness. I WANTED A TIE AND VOTED FOR IT.
Stop libeling please.

People are willing to try a tie(and risk schism) , but God forbid they try private property and inheritance.

I think this livestream should be our go to for when we feel the need to counter sadness.
Actually, I wanted both. As did most of the tie voters. I hope that there is this massive riot on the verge of happening, when a small group of people come in with WHY NOT BOTH written on a huge banner.

It's a shaman riot. From how AN phrased it, it seems to be a semi-frequent thing.

I was voting for Crow the whole time. I never tried to do any tactical voting or the like. I think there are lots of good reasons to go with Crow in our Grand Temple. But compromising and living with people who are different are important traits of our civilization. Some of our most important. About half the player base wanted Crow, about half wanted Fythhagyna. I think a compromise is totally within the spirit of the People.
That's a pretty serious accusation for something that was not only said to happen anyways, but was more than likely just AN saying something funny about the entire ordeal.
Even worse, if you want to take it seriously, a tie would be the best way to avoid a riot.
Did you mean to quote me, or are you agreeing with me?

Considering WOG that Crow was already going have some representation in the temple anyway I don't get why everyone voted for him ...

Followers of the God of Kings should make thier own temple, with sacred lottery and holy prostitutes!

The People are more about assimilation than compromise, actually.

Then if you wanted both, you should have asked beforehand if we could have voted for two. That way having them both would have had it's own ticket instead of riding on the coattails of the other options.

Maybe with Crow the Alien Bastard and Fyhty the nature/harvest goddess in the same temple, we'll get a concept of nature/the harvest as ready to fuck you over unless you know it, which is good.

As a voter who didn't change votes and not too keen on ties either. Why shouldn't people vote for what they want?
If a voting pattern causes distress for some, how would a group argue for the voters to change their pattern?
People are different, votes are supposed to reflect their difference.
...Yeah, I'm going to step away for a bit. I understand there were people who legitimately wanted a tie, but when a minority can force us to risk stability hits so they can 'try something cool i don't know what'll happen guys LOL' there's something awry with the voting system- maybe ranked votes would work better- or, as stated, just requiring a separate vote for 'both of them'. I would have happily switched to harvest goddess or whatever if it would prevent that. Honestly, even if things turn out right the way the votes were manipulated like to get something the majority didn't want pisses me off.
Hopefully AN decided to give us a break, but when he already warned us the guards had to be sent in to stop a riot I wouldn't blame him at all for giving us what we asked for in a not-so-pleasant way.

I don't think that's true.
Doesn't sound like assimilation to me. Sounds like being accepting of people who are different.

The GM does not allow write-ins. He used to punish them.
We effectively forced through a write in.
There is not much else to say is there?
