In Progress Emperor of Nothing [40k CYOA]

[Night Goat]

Voting for E

 

[Baltika9]

I must say I am quite surprised about the voting. Something in the general nature of these fora led me to believe that after adding F (which I struggled with, I thought it might end up too much like what things already are and get boring. But I had an Idea), the votes would be mostly 80-20 between F and another choice.

This is a pleasant surprise.

Let me tell you the tale of Lord Sector Marius Hax...

This has all the potential to end up Well

of Eternity

We're going to turn Guilliman into a monster that makes the Traitor Primarchs look cuddly, MARK MY WORDS!!

That, or we're going full Waifu Quest once again and turn Guilliman into the ultimate pimp of space

You mean, like this?

[Neanderthal]

It's my intention to bring the universe under the bootheel of the Empire, crushing all that stand in our way without mercy.

If you have any other pitiable human goal, whether "peace" or "redemption", turn back now and pick the other option.

I aim to bathe the cosmos in an inescapable torrent of blood and extend the Emperor's dominion to the end of time and space.

Seriously, though, I see a way this might work. If we inspire enough fervent belief in the empire, we may be able to will the Emperor into another 'Chaos God.' But would that make us, and every other human, a daemon?

He may already be a Chaos God. He has his greater Daemons (Living Saints,) he has his lesser Daemons (the Legion of the Dead,) and he has a dark counterpart from ancient history who may be a part of him.

As we know when She Who Thirsts was born and the Eye of Terror first blossomed, the decadent Eldar Gods were consumed, all but three: Khaine the Bloody Handed, warfare, discipline and dedication. Isha, fertility, growth and hope. Cegorach, anarchy, jest and recklessness.

Why did they survive? Simple, because they are aspects of Slaanesh's elder brothers: Khorne, combat, rage and abandonment. Nurgle, rot, endurance and despair. Tzeentch, cunning, hidden meaning and change. Or they were aspects of the Eldar Gods, but that is neither here nor there.

Now Slaanesh, of infinite sensation and self absorption has his counterpart in cold, unfeeling, deadly Ynnead. So we see reflections eternally echoing through the Warp.

The Emperor is anathema to the Chaos Gods, true death and a feared enemy. There is another who can be said to be such a one, an ancient being who waxes and wanes as Chaos does. Old Malal, madness, malice and enmity to all. Perhaps he is the opposite of our God Emperor, who is wisdom, zeal and a benefactor to the galaxy entire personified.

I vote D. Assuming such things are still possible.

 

[Brotherman Bill]

Fun fact: there's no option to rediscover old technology or start inventing new. Too OP?

Or perhaps it's not exactly what we're choosing right now? ie from what Logos said, we're choosing the belief of Guilliman , not the mean he'll be able to use to achieve his goals.

 

[LogOS]

Again I am confused. From my calculus, either A, E or F has won. I am again at a loss. Does anyone know the actual proper result? I think I'm calculating it wrong.

 

[Kipeci]

This is the tally from my count.

agentorange A
Kz3r0 A
Storyfag A
hello friend A
Kayerts A > F

Grimgravy B
Nahel B
The Brazilian Slaughter B
Kipeci B
Baltika9 B > E

Andnjord C

ERYFKRAD C > F

Jaedar D

Commissar Draco F
Neanderthal F
Obsequious Approbation F
Sheev F
a bear named spigot F
Kalin F
Lambchop19 F > A

It would seem that E has the most first preference votes (eight) plus two non-preferred votes, so it ends up taking the lead.

Congrats. Good to know that Roboute will keep zher chin up while raising zher black son on zher own. Que sera sera, faithless degenerates.

 

[Neanderthal]

But we're still gonna exterminate the Eldar aren't we?

 

[ERYFKRAD]

But we're still gonna exterminate the Eldar aren't we?

I'm always down for elf-xenocide.

 

[Darth Roxor]

here i am, thinking of participating in a cyoa for the first time in a long while

and i see that the other esteemed participants already pick the dumbest option for the first choice

Flopping to F.

 

[Baltika9]

LogOS, is Yvraine is still the one that resurrected Roboute?

 

[Esquilax]

5 pages of back-and-forth DISCUSS!!! and drama after one initial post. This is already promising.

But so help me fucking God, if you retards vote for the Tsundere Dragon-Rabbit I will never forgive you.

 

[Baltika9]

...which option is that?

 

[Esquilax]

...which option is that?

Sadly, because we aren't Dark Eldar, there isn't one.

I'm more implying that I enjoy that the character creation drama is a time-honoured CYOA tradition, and that I have missed it greatly.

Now flop to E.

 

[Baltika9]

Flopping from B>E to B>E.
And before I forget again, Absinthe was another member of our CYOAs.

 

[Kalin]

Hey faggot floppers here's a message just for you:

 

[Rahdulan]

I hope Lion wakes from stasis in one of the choices down the road, punches Girlyman just because he can and walks away scoffing disappointed at the entirety of IoM.

Keeping an eyes on this.

 

[Darth Roxor]

And then Corvus Corax comes back, delivers a catchy one-liner and disappears again.

 

[Baltika9]

LogOS, get back here you tease!

 

[LogOS]

LogOS, get back here you tease!

Terribly sorry.

I am going with last count, the winner being E)

Next update should arrive pretty soon.

You gave me quite a scare, but you have not answered my question:

LogOS, is Yvraine is still the one that resurrected Roboute?
