When everybody has different votes. How will we flip for it?

Probably a dice roll.

I'm coming down with a cold... hopefully by ignoring it said infection will be destroyed but just in case... no post today. I'll try and put a post up tomorrow evening if possible. If not, then it'll be this weekend sometime. Just too tired to think clearly this late in the evening.

 

[Grav]

Take your time. It’s only me and Blasterbot for now.

 

[Grav]

Hey new voter! But we’re at a triple impasse now. We’ll see the victor.

 

[Fezzes]

I'll second taking your time. Personal health is always more important than a quest, and we can be patient. I think there's a clear victor on both if we tally by vote rather than by block, though. I feel as though that'd be wiser at this early stage, when the three of us clearly have diverging opinions. Block tallying is more of a measure for 20+ voters or something.

Thank you. I am feeling better now. Just a spot of cold it seemed... then Dungeons and Dragons on Friday evening.

And yes, thank you for the suggestion. It is what I have been doing actually, voting by vote as opposed to block and it's what I'll probably keep doing when I have these multiple option posts.

And welcome to the Quest! It's my first one so I'm all ears to suggestions and feedback!

 

[Grav]

So many options, ahhhhh.

Also you wrote option five as six.

 

[Husky_Khan]

Mainly because I can't stop making this Quest more complicated... I added more to the loyalty thing. Depending on actions and decisions and how much loyalty is built (and if they're still alive of course) these other characters might become personal connections or even 'named' characters/heroes/middle management in your future organization (much like the Marshals already have).

Also I made about a billion choices... weeeeee too many posts with just one choice. Boo-urns! I'll give myself an unnecessary challenge and switch it up!

Sweet... looks like our unnamed protagonist plays basketball and does so well. 🏀

 

[Grav]

Slam dunk in these boys.

 

[Blasterbot]

just realized we have an OOC thread for discussion. is favors due what we owe or is it favors owed?

 

[Grav]

Favors depend, but they’re clearly written in the relationships section. If we owe favors it should say that we owe them. But right now I think we have a plus of favors that they owe us.

 

[Husky_Khan]

Yeah the '+' symbol in front means it's a favored OWED to you.

An '-' Symbol means it's a favor you owe THEM.

Influence is how big a favor you can ask them for and increasing the chance they'll answer it. It'll also factor into funding and resources they'll be willing to divert to you later on.

So this is what a mexican standoff looks like in vote form, huh?

 

[Husky_Khan]

Oh gee... another one with three different votes. Excellent. Well if we don't get a fourth voter for an impasse, it'll be back to the dice again for that first option.

When I'm trying to go with the neutral option and everybody else is losing favor.

When I'm trying to go with the neutral option and everybody else is losing favor.

That's the problem with neutrals. At least with your enemy you know what side they're on. But neutrals?

 

[Blasterbot]

What loyalty level is Woo at? I don't see a section for it in the info tabs.

 

[Fezzes]

That right there is a good question.
