Side Stories Poll - October 2020!

Hatmen fans, it is time to recast your votes to support the queen.

Moogly

Love the Antinium

Rima

Oooh all such great options, but I just had to go with Xrn!

a.m.

Really wish we could have gotten 2 of these 3 instead of last month's poll. These are all pretty good options tbh.

Stormlock

These names are always tricky for those who aren't subscribed to the higher tier. Edit: Based on the description some higher backers spoiled, I see what you mean. No tricky language, just Sallis the adventurer. I have taken my vote away from them lol

Wingless

The problem is the chapter is 'Saliss the Adventurer' so Oneiva and those issues will not be the focus there. It'll likely be about that job that Saliss was worrying over cause it requires him to leave Pallass for a bit, meaning no flower experiments and he won't be around when the new bar is setup.

Atlas Dwarf

Argh, I want ranked choice voting!!

Phil Pennock

And here are the hatmen fans at our tiny table in the back corner...

Jeff Petkau

Actually if you read the extra blurb on reddit, it explicitly says that it’s not an Onieva chapter, but a Saliss chapter.

Hughes Andrew

I'm torn between the small queen and Sallis. I want more exporation of LGBTQ+ issues in Innworld, but I also want awesome miracles from the small queen.

Wingless

Xrn doesn't have the morals of Klb. Klb hasn't told any of the higher-ups that Erin is from another world so that he can avoid getting orders to capture and interrogate her. Xrn will smile and simply Kidnap Ryoka when she is on one of her runs. She will make Grimalkin's threats look like those of a [Teddy Bear].

[Effective Weapons]. Not every adventurer needs to have a 5 minute sword/spell fight. Just imagine a [Terran Adventurer]. Point [Gun] at target and click on trigger. No chance to dodge [Super Sonic] bullets as a Big Raskghar.

lenkite

That's an easy choice. I'll take Saliss the Honoroble Queen's Day Out.

Kraahk Torenstahl

This is by far the most difficult poll you’ve made

Durzo

All 3!!

The reason I want Saliss, is I want more plot deleopment for Onieva, Hexel, Elirr, Rose (it was her, right?). I want Saliss to talk to Erin about it, and all that goodness, so bad

Joshua Case

There has been a lot of saliss in the story lately...

Type

Saliss for sure, no matter the context he’s the one that interests me the most out of those alternatives.

While I'm always happy for more Saliss, I think it's about time for Xrn to get some much needed development. She's an interesting character, but she's been around for four volumes now, and yet we still know so little about her.

Nolan Bowling

Why Saliss? We see so much of Saliss, Im súper interested in the Hatman, but I at least understand wanting to see more from Xrn

Christian Matthew

I really want to see more of Xrn interacting with humans. She's the only real connection between the two species. Klb may be a diplomat, but he's still alien compared to her. I'd especially like to see her chat with Ryoka, considering she was already partially won over by Klb and knows what they're up against, unlike Erin.

Stormlock

Onieva chapter!

AM I the only one that finds Saliss boring in a fight? Opens bag of holding whips out a bunch of potions at the speed of light and lots of booms. Doesn't do a lot for me.

Randomdigits

Why don’t people vote xrn?

Hughes Andrew

As usual I want all of them. But I guess I wanna know what going on with Saliss most. He's gotten some mentions but I want that plot, or at least some juicy details.

WildDistraction

Side stories are still posted like normal chapters, they just aren't as connected to the main plot lines. For the most part the ones that aren't written are still assumed to have happened. They are kinda background adventures for character development and to spend time/meet people that aren't always around Erin, Ryoka, or any of the core cast. As an example the Singer of Terendria was a side story option that kept not winning, so her story has been advancing without us really knowing much about her until fairly recently.

Donato Hunter

oh no! I did it again and voted for all 3!

Michael

I m kinda new. Is there somewhere else that th e side story s are posted.

Jlaristotle

All good options, but I feel like we are getting a decent amount of Saliss in the main story, and the Saliss/Onevia stuff seems like its getting some focused development reasonably soon. But we've had very little Xrn and she comes with more Antinium time which has been put on the back burner as like 8 other stories and subplots have been introduced and developed.

Donato Hunter

I agree.....I have been waiting for Erin...to...ummmmm....create a mage Antinium in her magical inn...and I keep wondering how the ship building is going.

matt emmons

Same, hatman seems least interesting but the others seem really interesting

Ford-Thomas Frank Loveland

Ouch, all the options are TOO good!

#teamSaliss

I am of course fascinated by Saliss but I don't think I can resist the allure of the small queen
