For those who are interested in how we're doing in Philemon choices vs Ettelia choices...
Traitor Rank 3: Philemon (this was the choice between Fusion and Reverse, and it was implied Fusion was championed by Philemon);
Sun Rank 3: Ettelia;
Mankind Rank 3: Philemon;
Plant Rank 3: Philemon;
Nature Rank 3: Fusion Accident;
Devil Rank 3: Ettelia;
Prudence Rank 3: Philemon

You say that Satoru's ideal world will cause him to transcend lies, Philemon. But everything you just said here was nothing but lies. That was never the world Overlord wanted to be.
Hell, Nyarlythotep is saying to just be less of a psychopath here.

I'm not going to lie and not say that my choice is influenced by my distaste for Ainz but I do think the One Ring has a lot of uses.
For one it's RC is an effective supermode giving us +2 dice to everything. Which means our AGI will have seven dice boosting us, we'll be immune to Mudo which will be very helpful against all the Death Gun Persona, and even better, a simple-to-use Fire attack in contrast to Ragnarok.
Archetype wise, a lot of our enemies are pretty Dark Lord-like. Miller, Quinella, PoH, BLANK, it could be a great way into their heads.

Also. Nephren-Ka looking Very Eye of Sauron-esque now
This is going to hurt either but I'll go with my gut here

Well shit. We can still be "neutral" (maybe with small CHAOS leaning) assuming we make decent choices so, uh. It'll be fine.

…fucking hell.
Given all the warnings beforehand about Overlord being an assholetory fest, I wasn't expecting the mood of this SL to be quiet depression. Fits well with the rest of the quest's theme—in an imaginary world where all your desires are sated, eventually you just become lonely at the top. You have no-one to share HEAVEN with if it's only your fantasy.
(Surely spending the last week evading responsibility in Shitty WWO will be fine and cool for us.)

Even if this wasn't the best case against Phil we've seen yet, I'd still go for this—it shouldn't be too hard for SV to roleplay as a grandiose schemer addicted to complexity who keeps changing emotions.

Yeah, Philemon needs to get his eyes checked. Sauron isn't the most optimal pick, but he sure beats going along with that bullshit. Besides, we can probably finagle something good out of it, especially with the sneaky options it offers.
The one caveat is that we should never, ever, use this against BLANK. That's begging for a curbstomp.

That's how Overlord itself suckers you. There's a sympathetic ennui phase before Ainz goes masks off tricking people into his lair so he can feel better about torturing them, and murders armies just to try and beat his previous high score, planning to wipe out an entire civilization for stopping one of his most psychopathic henchmen from killing people for fun, and so many things I can't remember off the top of my head.
I mean, Hiyori needed this so it's alright in my book.
Anyone remembers how much time left till Blank deadline?
I don't believe we were given a hard deadline by them - just a "if you take too long and we get bored."
I suspect we're good as long as we challenge them before the Derby... and if we don't we face them during it (but maybe with like a buff like letting a raid boss hit enrage timer lol) but maybe next time we hit a plan phase we'll be given more detail.
Mechanically this arc has appeared to be given the set-up that if we pursuesub-quests Bullets we can challenge our would-be Derby opponents early and remove them from the Derby and possibly even flip them to our side as allies. Anyone whose Bullet we don't clear will instead be part of a boss rush at the Derby. But that's just been my impression.

I just remembered that Pitohui has the power to summon her own army with her Death Gun Persona.
Meanwhile...
Sauron gives us the ability to summon our own invisible army. This could be fun.

Surprisingly a emotional story for the head of Ainz but honestly kinda what I expected really; a depressed man desperately clinging on to his only escape from reality even if the rest of the world moved on...atleast until he had all of his emotions sucked out of him.
...Wonder if his mother died of overwork in this world too.
That all being said

It's the ONE RING! There is no universe where I wouldn't pick this!

Alright, planning for the next turn, I feel we would be better attempting to press Kazuma for info about BLANK. He's our best lead to get what goes in their heads so far unless we want to try and see if Argo got anything on them - but I doubt we really have the money for this type of endeavor right now, not when we also have to balance getting weapons.
Speaking of Argo...Magdalene's associated weapon interests me. We can essentially go around the limit of Persona switching by using this and it's incredibly cheap. Furthermore, Hama spells are not associated with death the same way the Mudo line is, which may be useful, even more now that we are discarding Hamaon. And Mega Man, pew pew.
Priest is a shoe-in for the more focused Fire Persona other than Ash Nazg. For the second Link - assuming we do two - I would say going for either Justice (to boost mega buster) or Swords (depending if Rinko is still around) could do wonders to boost our power - maybe even get some insight on some details of Cognitive Psience, get that BLANK training arc.
Supposing we go with Ganbatte next turn, this is two main actions. I want to use one of them to boost our combat prowess overall - no need for weapons on that front - so I argue either for Maxwell's action to boost our number of slots or one of the training actions.
This leaves one slot, which I want to use to progress the XeXeeD tree by talking with Lugh to plan the assassination plan, as it moves a bit that plot thread and maybe gets us closer to him - maybe uncover his allegations.
I say we go for .Sign as one of our works - to get us more money - another slots for Augma, one to get the Fast Reading bonus from the club and...dunno, Shill Mistcoin BADLY? To get us some better access to that shop's items.

Actually, isn't the reason Touch Me stopped playing because he is currently in a custody battle for his kid? I vaguely remember that being a thing.

I actually brought this up in the past and my view on things is that we need to better commit to our investigation. As many people in the quest have pointed out we're stretched too thin trying to do everything at once. If only for the next turn I think it's best to put Social Links on the backburner and commit to our leads since the typhoon burned a lot of our time.
Continuing this line of thought for Lugh I think it would be best to take him to the Pitohui fight. As one of the bullets she surely qualifies as one of GGO's strongest and Sinon pointed out our best strategy to save Pitohui: crush her Death Gun Persona with the truth.
As I've posted before I think choosing one of the Zelinska options is important, we ask Lugh for his advice and we challenge Pitohui to a battle crushing three birds with one stone.
For XeXeeD. Despite being the biggest voice to recruit him due to the way the plot's unfolded I think it's best to leave him be if so we don't spread ourselves too thin. He is similar to Pitohui as a lone gunman and we've already invested a lot more into Pitohui so let's resolve that and use the gains we can get to better prepare for BLANK.

I'm fine with talking to Zelinska, but which option is better?
Torment is fast but loud. We go in, we get information, but we'll antagonize Zelinska in the process, but the other thing is that it's noticeable. A bunch of government agents knocking on doors and pressganging someone into compliance is shit that gets on people's radar, including the GM and Death Gun.
Consult is the subtle, slow path. It opens the path to actually working together, and since we will be dealing with Lievre and her robot rebellion her influence might be important. It takes time, but we have until July 13, so a little under a month. That's enough time.
I'm curious in how it affects what info we get though. Is it just the amount of info that changes or does the contents also vary?
Sadly Philemon's spiel is entirely irrelevant to the update proper, being literally the opposite of what Ainz wanted to do - what even are you doing this time??
