    Thank you for the tally. I figured it would come out weird, so I`m glad I don`t have to correct it. I`ll assume the winning vote for Mareinette is to use the prisoner, even though some people forgot to mention it. No guarantees an update will be posted today, but I will try. Be well, everyone.

    Site staff said the voting system should be working normally again. This message is being posted exclusively so I can click the "open voting" option. Voting will continue normally, and all votes will be counted from the last threadmark onwards. If the vote happens to close before sunday, you...

    However, consider the following. Axe (Order) made Selene (alicorn) promise that Mareinette (Change) would not be allowed near Silky (???). But what did Silky choose to do, when given the option? She has a cutie mark, and free will, and a certain skill that she is slowly growing into. And...

    Yes, yes, I understood that. And to clarify my answer, you already have a level 1 book giving you access to Level 2 Edge, while Shaper was saying you would exclusively need Level 2 or higher books for that. Yes, if you had fourteen (1 + 4 + 9) level 1 manuscripts your Library would still be...

    Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience

    Wait, wait, wait, nononono. This feels like it will turn into planning hell. Apologies, I had a very long week, so bear with me for a moment. Looking at the vote options, none of them are really "connected." As in, I don't think most people's decision to "Do this to Mareinette" would change...

    Threadmarks: Turn 22 - Closing / In between turns

    Over the course of the month, you have dedicated your nights to exploring that frozen ocean of ash that now surrounds the walls of the Mansus. You expected the task to be harrowing and dangerous, but the fact you were only half right only increased your horror. Because harrowing as it was, you...

    Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience

    Short answer is "yes." Long answer is that if at least one character is set to go on an expedition, we will have an "expedition planning" vote and I will explain things there. I mean, for narrative reasons I can't let the same artifact be used on two separate Long expeditions, so on and so...

    I knew I had forgotten something. Thank you, and no. That'll be a Commissioner action. "Investigator" actions are better suited by stuff that can be done by a few dozens of grizzled investigators over the course of a whole week (EDIT) month. Dissecting the husk corpse is more of a "done in a...

    Really not important to be honest. In my final notes I had Comet get a body, and that was that. I have a few minutes to string this together. This is not an update for the quest, and I'm putting it here because 1) the writing on the wall for the winning vote is nearly certain, and 2) I would...

    You can send the Bureau on expeditions. You could do that all along. You also can join the Bureau's actions yourself. And now, you can have Names participate in Bureau activities. By sheer fairness, all of those should be combined to mean that you can have the Bureau perform an expedition, and...

    Heck yeah, artwork! I don't know nearly enough to give feedback, but these are great. Thank you for sharing it with us! Nah. Forge crafting is a free action. No need to make the turn plans complicated. You either decide to make the Forge 4 reagent on the turn plan, with the purification...

    Esquestria: The House of the Sun - A pony cultist experience

    Well, this was delightful... and I am more than just a little conflicted. The moment you mentioned clockwork, I thought the story would go in a particular direction, and I even had a music start playing in my mind: But the ending... surprised me, a little. You see, most of this is very much...

    Well, now you guys finally have all the relevant information for this turn, and we can move to the "in between turn" phase. After this vote, of course. Yes, yes, there is still the Mansus Exploration and your final book reading action. But that can be addressed later and quickly. I'll answer...

    You are Selene, and you… You don't know what to do. Crying won't help. Getting angry won't help. Panicking won't help. Even though you truly, honestly want to do all those three things right now. The Princess in you won't let you, of course. The alicorn that you are won't allow for anything...
