Tom’s Prank is 💀

Caanbo

Bring back the clown!

Brett Sherman

I really, really, really wish tom would somehow meet ryoka or erin. Maybe in his insanity he decides to play the biggest joke of all on the kingdom of rhir, making their hero vanish, by going to another continent, or maybe he visits the king of destruction. that would actually be an interesting encounter, despite the fact I've never been a fan of the king of destruction.

the first porn is of a city runner making a home delivery of sausage that cant be paid for or the person has no seal

If Blackmage wins this which it is starting to look like unfortunately. I'm wanting the kidnapped kids at Wistram to try and convince them to make a porn channel on their scrying network because of the large amount of money that can be made. Hilarious.

Nobody

I also have no interest in Tom. Now admittedly, I had no interest in a lot of the characters who were first introduced in sidestories, and then came to like them when they were more developed (Geneva & the UN, the Unseen Emperor, Flos & Friends, etc). But really, the only thing about Tom I've found interesting so far is the mechanics of the evil/monstrous classes, the ones that come with advantages and disadvantages.

Oblivious Sage

I give up. It's obvious you really want to write the Emir's story and who am I to argue with your muse? Doesn't seem to be winning but I'll vote for him.

J. N.

I'm totally uninterested in Tom... Now that I know Emir is the slaver, I have to say I think we are in for some real horror going into Roshal. VERY Interested! I'm under the impression that the 'slave' class might make you want to appease your oppressors against your will... Writing about that would be horrific. So many characters have talked about how terrible slavery is in this world and it would be 'good' to finally 'see' it.

Kevin Choi

I'm interested in what's happening in Rhir, but the clown chapters have been a bit hit or miss. I'd love a small a side or two which pushes the plot forwards, but I'm leery of a full chapter or more of Tom.

Alan McBrayer

Did upgrade my tier to 10 Dollar to see the Sidestory describtions. Vote now for the Emir ! Down with the Clown!

Markus Pawlak

I think this is the closest race I’ve seen on here.

Lawrence Jackson

Until i see what kind of slave lord he is I want see him, yes. Maybe never after but who knows.

Szgreg

So Blackmage makes you feel uncomfortable because he "feels like a slave" but you want to see the slave lord's POV most? I understand the distinction but I don't get it.

Joshua Flowers

Emir is Kent Scott. Don't vote for him, we'll see him eventually anyways!

Ari Barzilai

There was the whole story with the fool and the king's daughter and learning the horrible truth about the rituals that brought the Earthers and what it cost

Christopher Hollo

tom hasnt even had an arc, he had an origin story and thats it

Nobody

Let's go CRAZY. Vote Tom :)

Koral

Markus Pawlak

I say all 3! Plus the firefighter story that was discussed time and time again!

James Ryan

Its so CLOSE! Maybe write all of them? Though I'd like to see Emir the most. Which is strange... I usually don't choose unknowns. But poor Tom is getting so unhinged that I fear to see his POV. And Blackmage feels like a slave which also makes me uncomfortable.

Szgreg

all of these options are powerful and could resolve or lead into amazing new things...you’re not making this easy.

Zone

I changed my vote from emir to tom, sigh. As much as I love new character stories I have to say after reading the new chapter I'm yearning to see the response from the rhir groups, plus the hinting at another summoning being cast. I'm satisfied with Blackmage as a euphimism for the wistram storyline, but with the lasted chapter i feel like wistram got an update and is just hella chaotic right now for a followup, probably leading to a lot of bureaucratic/politic like story at the moment. Emir, if the other comments are right, pertaining to the slavers/slave trade is an interesting followup to the previous chapter involving the bloodfeast raiders, but i'm not currently seeing how any of the protagonists are involved, ie new character intro. So for me if it's a side story and not main, and as i'm writing this i'm realizing it actually is a side story not main, then I'm actually gonna switch my vote back to emir, cause i need the Tom and later Blackmage stories on main since their now conviently placed to do so. sigh, i talked myself in a circle...(>_>)

Andre Washington

An election where every vote counts! And yes, Laken would have run away with the vote (hint, hint)

Koral

well, I voted for all of them

Michael

Ivolethe pleaaaaase!!!

Jacob Cook

but i want them all ><

WildDistraction

Sorry, not voting for Emir because it sounds like pirataba wants to write about them enough to grace us with that story anyway. So let's crown the Clown :D Write in vote: Ivolethe

Flare

He has pull, but everytime we spend more than a chapter on the unseen empire stuff people complain about him specifically. That's not to say people dont complain about other PoVs but it seems he is second only to Flos in the complaint department. The goblins in this scenario represent possible connection with the Inn, through pepplesnatch and the door.

Scruffleupagas

Emir [Slave Lord ] is possibly THE RICHEST LORD in the world and also has a strong connection to the slavers of Roshal. His story will give us a perspective into the world of slavers and slaves. A TOTALLY NEW FRONTIER, while there is nothing particularly interesting going on with Tom and Blaclmage ; so please let the Emir win people.

Ali Shahid

Who is Emir again? Why am I drawing a blank

Jacob Cook

Why is it Emir sounds familiar

Justin

I prefer the clown because Tom hasn't been shown in a long while

Morog T Tiny

I'm with the Pirate's choice. Emir Yazil... Whomever that is.

Kevin Choi

Going with Emir Yazdil just because it seems you want to tell his story the most and you will rock it

Ronald Roberson

I see folks really not liking the clown. I actually liked the effort put in writing such a different land and perspective. I prefer Wistram being a bit more mysterious so there's more leeway in surprises. Also let's give the author a chance to write the clown considering the factor of your criticism of the last chapters. It would have the greatest opportunity for character development.

Kddan

Not the clown, hoping for Blackmage. We can see what's going on at Wistram.

Patrick C

clown in a land of madness vs a mage trying to escape a bunch of mages who are trying to capture every human from earth.

Kyle merwin

Blackmage. Iron Man. ACDC. Technology meets magic.

jdouglas

Blackmage made the OP staff that they used in the Creler fight

Donald Smith

Ok. Seeing Amerys out of her cage would be an interesting reason to read Blackmage

Donald Smith

No Clown pls

Andreas

No Tom please! Not just because I hate him, but also because it seems like the Rhir story will be the final volume(s); so, I'm not ready to get invested in their story yet.

Samantha Lane

I really want a Roshal chapter, but I want a Clown chapter more.

Joshua Flowers

Man. Fick tom. Let's get to blackmage and wistram prison break!

Chargcake

Tom's the clown, man it has been SO LONG, I literally thought Pirateaba just killed him off screen so they wouldn't have to write him anymore. he is one of my fav characters

Nobody

last time we had blackmage we actually got to see more of wistram right now rather than years ago. we as readers no nothing of their plans for the otherworlders outside as an information source. not to mention at the hinted upheaval and possible civil war brewing with the golems at the necromancers letter to cognita

Nobody

Emir Yazdil is the richest Lord in the world and is basically the head of the Slavers of Roshal. Also might know/have some earthers. The Empress/Emperor of the Sands is a whole different person(people?).

Atlas Dwarf

no, while goblins have pull power, lakens story is pretty great on its own

Nobody

I'm all about that Clown! But honestly I'd rather you wrote what you think is best DESPITE what we say. You've had a Firefighter story brewing for a year plus. If it wants out, let it out! If it's time for a Slaver piece of garbage, it's time. I still want maps and detailed descriptions of the new Inn and it's various secrets right down to the wood trim on the doors and the difference between staff rooms and rentable ones.

Atomix

Emir Yazdil cause I want to know if he really is the one who took Kent Scott and other moves Roshal is making. Although it'll probably end up like another MR 2 in discussion so Cognita is cool as well.

Atlas Dwarf

I kinda wanna see the Necromancer's golem project use the Frankenstein's Monster trope and Sorcerer Apprentice Mickey Von Neumann golems trope. Full "Kill the Necromancer" robot rebellion.

Bob

Laken would sweep only because of goblin proximity

Scruffleupagas

I love the Tom chapters, blackmage chaps are kinda interesting, and stay away from Chandrar please

Newguy Roy

Who is the emir I thought she was from the black sands empire

Jed Bloch

I agree blackmage is soo boring imo

Eric Crowley

Wow, this is a close one for me, and it looks like for everyone else so far. I want both Tom and Blackmage. The C chapters have been some of my favorites, but I really want to see more of what's going on with Blackmage at Wistram and his magitech development.

Metamere

Emir Yazdil sounds hella interesting, as the slavers are one of the major powers with potential wistram level secrets, about the leveling system, we know fuck all about.

Hairface

Blackmage is nothing but 🐈 . I mean what has he ever done for real. nothing but bring other people in to his prison. And he is nothing but slave . he is making all these stuff for what. He could have manipulated those people by turning One another by telling them he will give a great invention. But no just building stuff How is his story interesting. The last time I read his story they were not even allowed to talk to each other I think something like that. Men Erin has people to back her because she played her cards right.

Caanbo

Blackmage, for more meta magic and possibly getting that lightning mage out of her bloody cage

Compendium

The slavers of Roshal have only been mentioned but not explored from any point of view. So I would definitely like to see what Pirateaba has in store for us!

Deepak Kamlesh

Let's catch up with our favorite Clown!

DThornz

https://thewanderinginn.fandom.com/wiki/Yazdil_Achakhei Is the Emir, didnt know that one myself. Tom is the earther clown, you surely remember him? He left an impression. The Blackmage is a earther that joined wistram at the beginning, the one who organized the iphone-chat in volume 2 - and also, I believe the one who helped the most to develop the magic-tv

Christie

More Tom! We need more [Hero] and he is the best link we have to the story in Rhir where so many threads seemed to begin.

Kalvelis

I think Emir would be interesting as he is someone we haven't seen and feels like she has something special planned for him. So I am torn between him and Tom as Tom's story would definitely flesh out the current storyline.

Pike

Tom is the Clown. Emir is a slaver. Tom is Earth mage who made the phone call possible

Pike

Tom is the clown in Rhir! Crazy guy from Earth. Forgot Emir. Blackmage is the guy from Earth in Wistram that wanted everyone to gather there

PcKc

Wow this really is the losers' bracket O.o Laken would win only because the goblins, and Erin's door, is there. Popular by association

Boredwayfarer

I am interested in Emir because I think he could be [Kent Scott]. He leads a world power that i belive could have gathered earthers like Wistram. Also the final line about if he had legs he would kneel makes sense since he is Naga and has no legs. Vote to learn the truth. May also tie in with bloodfeast raiders

Ford-Thomas Frank Loveland

Cant remember blackmage or tom or the emir

Geir Bergh

I'm voting blackmage only because hes had only one pov chapter. And after learning from Luann thdt more Earthers saw freaky semi dead folks at the solstice i want to see him with a full pov. And it would tie more directly i to the current inn plot without making it impossible to build towards a rhir arc by talking more about Earthers. Also I don't want even a shred of sympathy for the Emir. I want the Emir to suffer.

Gabe Canada

I need more Tom in my life

PcKc

Blackmage is making all those important [Mana Core]'s. Frankly, he and the Bushranger's [Engineer] are the only true Terran crafters/inventors in InnWorld, so it's important they get a bit of story space.
