New HR Poll: Choose your path

>Silk/Velvet romance Aw HELL no

Alright since latest chapter got us to level 80 we should do Archmage Reign instead

Voted for five sovereigns the last few times but it doesnt feel like it would flow as well with how the story is going ATM. Prince of Spiders though ties nicely into the current one, he's half way there anyway.

...not prince of thievess. I don't think I can read through a romance with silk/velvet.

Prince route to access the cobwebs transportation routes unrestricted -> the world tour -> Archmage for when simon is a higher level with access to more spells and needs to build the control to summon multiple sovereign eidolons!

We have the choice to be with the best MILF... I mean Remedia and you guys want to play mafia? The amount of unculture men in this room **shaking my head**

I'm always so sad to see this polls and knowing that the current reign is about to end. :( The prince of thieves sounds very exciting and fitting as a continuation of the current reign so I'm satisfied with it winning. I could see Simon the Archmage also being pretty exciting, I loved when Simon started develop a bit of a friendship with the queens son, I always am happy when Simon has bromances. And I could see the big surprise maybe being getting her pregnant and it being a big problem for simon to know his child would vanish after he dies.

The Five Sovereigns!!!

It is many reigns to early for the archmage - Same for the vampire. Vampire is late nihilistic.

I absolutely love the simon the archmage idea, but i think the prince of thieves fits better into the current story arc. I think the archmage path can only feel right when he is level 80-90 and has tier 8-9 spells unlocked

I find the 5 sovereigns the most enjoyable worldbuilding wise, but the Prince of Thieves is the most logical follow-up for this arc. Also as said, the Remedia arc only makes sense after he has reached lvl 80, which should not be so soon.

"Libromancy secrets in return for her help into developing a miasmic teleport spell" But simon is not yet lvl 80 aka he does not yet have lvl 8 spells unlocked. So this reign can not happen yet, unless they mean to unlock a lvl 7 miasma teleport spell despite teleport being a lvl 8 spell

The Velvet/Silk romance is what sold it for me

Honestly Archmage I really want but I think later levels (80-89) would be better as a story development to practice and tease spells. That or if we actually return to Mr. Lich Libromancy in the lvl 90s I’d like to see Archmage in there as well

I mean silk/velvet? Would Also him getting the crafter would make him damm near invincible

I'm voting 5 sovereigns but prince comes to a close second. They will all power him up but his dark summons have been so cool

Anyone thinks Simon’s gonna lose his first kid in the archmage route?

Remedia best girl arc is always welcomed, but the lure of the Sovereigns is too strong. I need Ma Boi to expand his horizons.

The Five Souvereigns feels like unavoidable choise at some point of story. Althou it can happen a little bit later and Prince of Thieves sounds more interesting and logical after ivents of this arc.

Norbelle not mentioned in The Five Sovereigns - that's why its losing

Rather not have any Silk/Velvet romance if we are doing prince of thieves

I was sold with the sentence: silk/velvet romance...

All three of these need to happen! Archmage should wait until he hits Lv 80 and gets teir 8 spells.

Nooo, his ethical rehabilitation plans :'(

My only problem with thieves is, that becoming the head of the conweb is a clear regression from his path of betterment (I like Simon to get darker but that part doesn't fit his currnt goals) Sad to see another reign go, I kind of hoped this one would last till a couple zodiacs awakened I am kind of surprised we have had barely any reigns reach their natural awakening

Prince of thieves and maybe he can use them to scout out the dragons horde while he’s at it >:3

The prince of thieves feels like the natural progression. But I'd like to use my imaginary VETO on the Silk/Velvet romance. No thanks!

Archmage path is gonna end up with a pregnant Remedia that gets undone... I want to pick it but I don't want to do that to Simon, so Prince of Thieves it is.

Aw maaaaaaaaan. Why you gotta tear us apart like this. I want the 5 Sovereigns so bad but story wise, this calls for Prince of Thieves... Especially since you're going to have the Crafter kill Simon inside his crazy tower.

First time that I don't have a preference lol. All of them seem great.

I love this story and the idea of polls influencing reigns, and even voted for the option that ended up being most popular - but this poll compared the all the previous ones feels the most biased (in terms of unlocks/benefits presented). I feel like if the other options want to stay relevant/be voted on someday, they need some retooling.

I’m really torn up about this. One the one hand, Overlord of Crime was one of the best reigns and an improved version with a twin romance sounds very entertaining. On the other hand, Simon has done little to improve his Dark Visionary abilities and Sovereign is the way to improve his abilities. Decisions decisions

I just wanna see more of the world 🥀🥀 everyone tryna make Simon back in his evil shi w no good influences vote for the road trip to continue let’s see those eidolons

Mr worldwide with the five sovereigns sounds fun.

"Unlocks: The Painted Door, ???, The Monster Shepherd, The Sniper Must Die!" Sooooo.... Where are these?

Prince of thieves seems like a logical choice if we take into account this arc. Choosing anything else would be akin to halt Simon’s current trajectory. It pains me that we won’t be seeing more Remedia x Simon romance for the next reign but the possibility doesn’t disappears. I am also interested in the Silk/Velvet romance.

My heart says MILF, but my head says Prince of thieves because of continuity.

Archmage please need the best girl

I guess we are damned no matther what we choose :D

Damn. Spoilered. No crafter acquisition the current reign.

Picking Five Sovereigns just because I want to see the world tour, but I do agree TPoT works better right after the current reign. And I want to stay as far away from Simon the Archmage as possible, provided that 'surprise' is a child. That would ruin him.

Both the sovereign and the prince routes unlock the SHOTGUN OF TERROR, praise be to you void, I’m going to be quite happy regardless of which of these 2 are picked

Sniper Must Die is conspicuously absent this time. Anyway, I know everyone will vote for a new romance option but I'm feeling 5 Sovereigns That said, it does seem like ol' Void really hammed up Spider Prince compared to last time. I'm okay with spoiling Void just this once

That big surprise gotta be a child

Archmage is a rehash of cognage affair, seems kinda eh until maybe like the last 20ish Reigns

PoT has insane range of possibilities while ALSO having very relevant mummy lore while ALSO being giga easy to setup via Brand of Pride. Simon could basically puppeteer Vouivere and Louis and maybe finally kill second and even third Zodiac Fiend.

Teleport has a practically unlimited amount of future utility, and Remedia is always fun. That reign might actually reach the Zodiac Parade. So I did vote for Archmage. However, The Prince of Thieves is the natural continuation from this current reign, so I'm alright with it being the winner this time around.

Simon the ADHDer. Would be nice if he would actually repeat the goals of a Reign until some measure of success instead of moving on to another idea without even seeing the current one to a satisfying conclusion. For example, he seemed super uninterested in the implications of the pictobox and the myriad combinations of miasma crystals, manaliths, miasma negatives, and mana negatives. Not to talk of using his archmage Perk to recreate some of these effects as spells. Too much work to be done right here that he's about to abandon. Another example is the very idea of the "Simon the Archmage" future arc, which can only happen because he moved on to another scatterbrained idea instead of completing what he initially went to Cocagne to do. I would much rather he repeat missions to completion, then move on to the next productive thing, but he prefers to be all over the place.

Really? We're already trying to bail out on the Road Trip? Come on, at least finish up Sovereigns first before we go back to Simon backpedaling on the ethical scale.

One word guys: teleportation. It has to be Simon the Archmage.

It's so hard, bro... the Prince looks amazing *cries*. Vote for whatever you want; I'm voting for my sacred MILFs. Don't feel sad; if Remedia wins—a total miracle—we've got Remedia, and if she loses, we've got the Crafter Crestones XD.

Prince of Thieves has best continuity if we think of the focus of the next reign, Five Sovereigns/Archmage feels like the continuation of the ethical rehabilitation he was trying to do. I care more about the rehabilitation than the crafter plotline tbh, so I'd love it if anything other than prince won. Obligatory "single round fptp is shit".

No two ways about it. The Cobweb has easily proven to be the most consistent and adaptable thorn in Simon's side out of anyone in the current field of adversaries. Figuring out how to permanently declaw or flip them at the start of every reign doesn't just take care of Valravn, Silk and the rest, it even means that Louis won't be able to flee the next time he gets confronted. As much as the other option have a lot of potential, The Prince of Thieves kills the most birds with one stone and paves the way for reigns an order of magnitude smoother down the line. It's the reign that guarantees Helel or the other zodiacs don't slip their prisons early. The one that provides the most information. That leads to unlocking the most reign options once complete. Vote The Prince of Thieves. What's that? I just want to see Silk and Velvet finally get put in their place? Don't be silly. Besides, even if that's true, it doesn't mean the rest of what I said is wrong.

All the Sovereign voters hate milfs hence their future votes should be discarded as invalid

Weird it cut off. 2. The crafter crest stone. 3. The crafter and muse set up more effectively going forward. That’s three major priorities we can close out. The earlier we get the crafter crest the longer it can be of use as well.

Prince of thieves just feels too similar to Overlord of Crime

Prince will probably give Simon a strat or at minimum the start of one to quickly deal with the Cobweb in future reigns. Also Libromancy, Crafter stone and Hoard intel.

The eidolons and the cobweb are just so interesting man. Simon has got to get stronger before he can truly become an archmage.

Prince of Thieves for three separate strategic success that effect the entire reign going forward! 1. Neutralizing the cobweb going forward.

I would like to vote for the Archmage route but my god its so bland compared to other options. Cocagne need a bit of spice to it to be picked. A better hook ,like a Norbelle plotline perhaps ? Or Simon-Remedia having a kid. Something like that.

They're all so tempting...

Would love to see all three but right now I'm interedted to see what Simon can do with techniques, not to mention the new locales, so Fove Sovereigns has my vote.

Potential crafter crestone acquisition, we are going full in on this arc.

We need Prince! Let Simon not get immediately sidetracked on a goal for once!

Simon the Archmage seems very fun, especially after the libromancy thing. Even the prince of thieves would be good to me tho

I personally vote for five Sovereigns. Simon can do the evil paths when he is fully Class-sober.

Whoa! I actually voted with the majority for once. Purely because it would flow better as a story. Id still like to see him and Remedia again as a personal choice.

The Prince of Thieves has by far the best continuity. It fits the best for now and may give Simon the Crafter’s crestone, which he definitely needs

I love Five Sovereigns, but The Prince of Thieves feels more natural imo, unless Simon wants to halt his momentum in this crafter arc

Attack the Crafter looks as a natural continuation of the current arc and holds the most logic for me.

Gosh they are all such great options. Gotta be five sovereigns though. Simon NEEDS to widen his experience and master some techniques.

Remember, the Archmage route not only includes Remedia, it'll also include Norbelle! And it'll always be funny to have that gremlin around

Uh-oh, you fellas know what a poll means for Simons current reign...

I feel like doing the prince of thieves early would be the most beneficial for future reigns

Feels like we are heading towards the book of the damned

As the first voter I feel enormous responsibility. The answer is the five sovereigns

Please do Simon the archmage please. Please don't skip over milf romance

Noo, not ready for this arc to end
