I can understand the Not R vote if you're not on-board with the fish god, but at least let the J votes go through unmolested. Quit oppressing our religious freedom!

Ask me about being a SJW in EE and working to make anyone who disagrees with me a villain and gets no opportunity to defend themselves at all because my army or sycophants I buy off with pixels follows me blindly.

why are we wasting our prayers? We don't know we are in trouble and you people want to pray when we don't even know it will work. Have some faith in our abilities, drat

Barring a drastic change in the voting patters which require an extension to make it fair, I am closing the voting at 8:00 PM Eastern US time, which will be roughly an hour and a half from now.

Frankly, I don't know anyone who likes Chinese bronzes, but I have one of the finest collections in the country.
This is hilarious, seems however it goes we'll have the exciting result of A) Praying to some God and probably having nothing happen, B) Praying to another God which seems slightly more likely to do something, but still probably nothing happening, or C) Patting a crying kid on the head.

Sigh, I guess I'll (sorry) change my vote from JR to JJ, since R seems both dead and rather more drastic/dangerous (although at least it'd be doing something), even though I really hate this pattern of voting in response to other votes, instead of for what actually seems appealing. I am afraid though that it's a pretty wasted vote, I mean, what's going to happen, we pray, Asherah, predictably, does nothing, and we lose more faith in Asherah because we're not sure of the difference between ocean and forest. Ah well.

Oh, and of note, just looking at the spreadsheet, I think Tsyni changing from JR to JJ was missed.

Like the Asherah Party doesn't do the same thing, blocking our efforts to pursue healthcare for every mortal. Afraid of any new things, unwilling to pursue the scientifically proven paths of worship!

Health-care is fiiine, it's just viewed on a larger scale. The community is made healthier if the sick are devoured to keep from spreading.

And hey, they positively love new things, especially when they wash up on shore. Free source of children.

* And the ability to ignore spears through the chest and to shoot lightning from your hands when that normally doesn't happen seem like pretty hypothesis verifying results.

It's known any lesser demon can give those same benefits! Besides, how will you feed your children with Sith lightning?

Asherah Worship has also been linked to rising sea levels. Vote El for a better tomorrow.

Rising sea levels just means more beach front property! Don't you like beaches!?

We know El is this powerful established god. I think it would be way more fun to bring Asherah to the masses. Let's shake up the status quo.

Because I think praying to El, at worst, fizzles but praying to Asherah has the potential to destroy our ability to actually do anything cool in the future. Unless we go the Asherah cult in Zepath idea, which seems terrible in its own way.

I don't necessarily think it'll happen, but praying to Asherah seems the type of thing that could render us basically unable to use divine powers of El in the future. And Asherah's powers, so far, have basically been the most generic (and not particularly powerful) thing out there.

eta: Also, we're probably not far from camp and praying to Asherah when Barkof or Tudiyah can walk up on us and find us seems all kinds of terrible idea. For a god I find to be boring (El, similarly, is boring but at least may give the cooler powers).

El could also have more power since he has more followers in the immediate area -- even if his power isn't directly related to his followers (as in Madgod), the followers are there for him to influence.

Looking at the spreadsheet, and where I think it has yet to be updated, I think J is behind the top two options by like one vote, but it keeps going back and forth. This has been a bizarre vote.
