Weakening his position is not about weakening his power base, it is about making the people with every other power base, including, notably, the freaking Dawi, to tell him to get bent rather than letting him just go forward with his designs/wishes.
Maybe the Dwarves will care. Maybe. But I wouldn't bet on it, and it's not like he needs them. As long as whatever disagreements happen out of sight of the public, it won't matter a damn bit. The Cult of Sigmar are probably the single most powerful institution in the Empire. People can't usually afford to tell them to fuck off. And even less over a bit of anti-wizard prejudice most, if not all, of them share.
 
[X] Bodyguard and Tutor to Prince Mandred
[X] Ranaldian High Priest of Kislev

Updating vote to just two votes, one that has a chance and one I just want to support

I mean, yeah, he can do a litle political disagreement for a treat, yeah. Politicking will never be simple or easy no matter how much support we have. My point was that he cannot really go guns a blazing, no plausible deniability remove the witch, she is a bad influence for the Emperor rargh, cuz that rhetoric would be a grudging for at least 2 Karaks. His angles have to be oblique, his justifications mostly internal, and that gives us grounds for maneuvering around him bigger than even most non wizards have. If he is a good politician, it still absolutely won't be easy, mind you.

And if you think that at least 2 Karaks, if not the grand conclave as a whole, won't grudge someone for publicly calling Mathilde incompetent/evil (after meditation, Sigmar's church has earned the benefit of doubt as an institution, so he may get out by paying reparations, but still...) after everything she has done and after the way it affected their self image... then you do not know Dawi.

How much longer is this voting going to go on because Im not sure how much more emotional whiplash I can take. When I went to bed Markgraf was 1 behind Waystone and 1 ahead of bodyguard. I kinda just want a time to be set or something
 
People summon you literally every time they want forbidden knowledge in this thread, picklepikkl.
...okay, so, that's totally true, but it doesn't have to be so eldritch! A standard SV ping will do for attracting my attention! You don't need chanting, or sigils, or... is that an altar in the corner over there? With blood on it? I'm just gonna fervently hope that it's fake blood from the costume store and see my own way out of this... circle? Why is there a circle? Put that black candle down this instant!

What do you think @ is , if not a sigil to call a voter? And its always placed before chanting a name too.
 
Yes, yes!

It rises

IT LIVES!

Please, people who don't want Waystones or loremaster, Come together and bring Markgraf to the top! (approval against the other top two.)

Bodyguard is a false messiah, unable to follow through where it is needed.

The Princess is to naive and the Spy weak!

And why be a priest when you could work to become a peer.

bring forth the Dark Queen!

no: NOT DARK: But beautiful and terrible as the dawn. Treacherous as the Sea. Stronger than the foundations of the Earth!.
All shall love HER and despair!"

I see we have gone a step beyond normal thread madness.
 
Now, veterans of the thread have probably already guessed where I'm going with this . . .

I'm not saying that you definitely should vote for Markgraf. These are highly personal reasons, and I'm a contender for the world's greatest Abelhelm Van Hal Fanboy. But I implore you, if any of the above sounds even the least bit interesting to you, would you please at least consider voting for it?
You totally got me. I was waiting for the inevitable "SO we could totally save Warhammer by raising an army of the dead and bring our best bud Abelheim back from the dead!", but no, you just made an impassioned, and dare I say, reasonable argument!

I guess when thread madness reaches critical levels, Omegahugger becomes reasonable! :rofl:

but here we are

Whoooo posts in this thread with more knowledge than thee?

picklepikkl!

Container of all obscure threadlore is he!

If Boney quotations are all that you need!

Then just @ his name he'll be there with all speed!

Ready?
