Please Glory, don't turn into the Soft Sweeps vote again where one post less than a minute before closing time decide the vote. I want to know which outcome I should be prepared to stress out about! :V

How can you see the current tally without one being posted, I know how to look on SV, but QQ is a bit different in its layout. Far as I was aware from the one just done there was a two vote diff? Then one after that last vote.

One voter changed their mind, meaning minus 1 vote for swapping and plus 1 for not swapping, ergo a 54 vote tie.

You have to use the external NetTally application, since QQ doesn't have an integrated counter.

Noooooooo

Edit: More seriously, probably in like 1.5 hours, based on what Bird said yesterday. I don't imagine he'll close it earlier than expected, considering how close the vote is.
 
Either we are getting Velvet that no longer cares about these that can't be used to further her own purposes, be it emotional or practical and closing off interesting Twlight storyline in exchange for another plate to spin with AP sink to boot or Velvet that still clings to something resembling morals and more focused storyline near the end of the quest
Either way it will be interesting but I feel that one of these leads to a better narrative
 
If we really do get stuck with a tie, I would almost want the final result to be up to a coin toss; sure, it would be very unsatisfying to at least half of the questors, but at least we wouldn't have to undergo the stress of a second round.

If Bird wants to be super precise, exactly at 00:49

Edit: But it probably be at around 00:00, so vote before that.

I voted for Twilight option because I put my hopes on light of Harmony helping Twilight *somehow*. But I got convinced that helping human Twilight acclimate to our world and become useful will just take too many APs. We are so close to the end, we should just focus on it. We can help everyone else after.

We have other people for that, that sort of stuff is low stakes stuff confidants are designed to handle.

Actually, if we switch Twilight we have a chance to pull off a really funky move that is extremely unlikely to get traced back to us at minimal AP cost, in fact it would save us from spending one!

...weren't you just implying that you thought Velvet-with-morals would be more interesting narratively? Or did I misread which of the two you meant?

What? No I dislike the idea of us spreading even thinner so close to finish, both in narrative and AP sense and I want to see continuation of Wolf x Twilight storyline

I miss SV's laugh reaction. That was hilarious.
 
...Okay, around 1 hour left...

If you haven't voted or changed your vote, do it now, because trying to do a last minute vote without a countdown just leaves you without voting or changing your vote, believe me, i have tried.

And remember, no hard feeling regardless of whichever option wins.

It's coming down to it our assortment of questers; change your vote, make one in the first place or forever hold your peace.

If we don't swap I'm looking forward to our new daughter

Bird said our other Sacraments won't be as long as this was, but I'm very intrigued to see what happens for our other ones.

Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but does doing the Wolf Sacrament give us both Winter and Edge Or do I misremember that? If that's the case I'm down to do it, I'll have to look back in our known rituals and stuff to see.
Edit: it does, and I want it.

Things are only going to get more intense from here, I'm excited for it.

I mean, it's worked out alright with Soft Sweeps. What's wrong with one more.

For real though, the Wolf Cult is worrying, but there's lots of things to worry about and only so much we can do without continuing to spread ourselves too thin. Glory is right there. As long as we can keep from performing anymore regrettable actions, it should be fine. We've been told sacraments, friendly names, and artifacts give us power. Power gives us options.

No high-schooler for you it seems.

And with that, we can finally exit this dream.

Can't tell when I'll have time to write, but it will happen eventually.

Great to have you here! I hope we can all continue to have fun.
 
Welp, can't say we didn't try.
Man, that's disappointing I was really interested in what she could've turned into given the chance, more than a Highschooler.

Time moves forward.
