God Elections

[Steel Inquisitive he/him]

If you had to pick a Shard to be the sole shard of your planet.... Who would you pick? (With the assumption that were talking about the shard not the vessel.)

I personally would vote for Endowment. Seems like the most chill shard, and least invasive. (Unless she's turning you immortal, which I'm okay with)

Preservation might be an option.... But according to Ruin he would freeze everyone in place.... Not ideal.

Cultivation would just be scary! You would never know what she's planning for mankind.....

If any Shard goes, probably the hinted Ingenuity Shard. If only ones we've seen count, I'd probably go with Harmony. Cultivation is a close second for me, since I like watching things change.

[Calderis he/him]

Absolutely Cultivation. Don't care what's she's planning, I'll play. 

[I think I am here. he/him]

Odium for the win 

[Turtle373 he/him]

Cultivation, she's growth and that might occasionally be bad growth but its probably mostly going to be good

[+Extesian he/him]

Autonomy, man. Freedom, man. I won't have The Man tell me what to do, man.

[Vissy]

Endowment sounds nice.

[Rasarr she/her]

I'm with you on Endownment. Magic powers for everyone and a chance to come back from the dead? Sign me up.

[+Sorana she/her]

Devotion, if a splintered shard is an option, too. From what we know I think it could be alright to live with devotion as god.

I would like to bring up my totally valid reason for this.

If everybody loves each other, nobody loves each other =  

If everybody hates each other, nobody hates each other =  

Just thought I’d let you know why Odium deserves to rule.

Well I cant argue with that logic 

I would choose Honor, but knowing my personality, it would be less about keeping oaths and more about respect

Honor started going crazy towards the end though. I would choose Harmony, because eventually we will have trouble interacting with the planet and that fine by me. 

 

 

[RShara she/her]

Endowment or Harmony, for me. I really like the idea of Breaths (and immortality) but Harmony is just so benevolent. I really like Pathism.

Autonomy or Endowment. Anyone else is a threat to free will.

I think you're overestimating the benevolence of Autonomy.

Oh, and I'd go with Honor. But I'm also the guy who actually likes Skybreakers, so y'all can probably guess my opinion on oaths.

I'd love to live in a world of 5 dollar bills and boomboxes, what else could you ask of a benevolent diety?

[Ripheus23]

Well we seem to live in a world where Ruin is in charge, so... I'll play "Ruin's Advocate"

[Jace21 he/him]

Autonomy, Harmony or Endowment. From the glimpses, admittedly small, that we have had of Autonomy and Endowment's worlds, these 3 seem to interfere the least, or at least benevolently.

[scudalarm]

If Autonomy is indeed the Shard in the Drominad system, the way the world runs feels very "Man vs Nature".
Alternate choice is Endowment, everybody has the potential to be a magic user which is cool.

[Weltall]

I'm going to add my vote to Endowment. Even without factoring in Edgli's 'I'll stay off your lawn if you stay off mine' attitude towards the other Shards, you've got a Shard whose focus is all on giving things to other people. I figure that's harder to go wrong with than a lot of options. Also, both Hoid and Brandon would be tempted by this Shard and if the God Beyond Himself thinks that way...

Tanavast was also dying at the time so I think we can excuse his going (slightly) mad at the end.

Yeah, Leras did much the same, except the only thing left was his already weakened remnant, didn't he? A long death like that probably messes you up in the head.

[Steel Inquisitive he/him]

I could be tempted to vote for Devotion.... But we haven't seen how she would lead without Dominion.... So probably stick with Endowment.

[+Zodiac he/him]

I'm almost positive that Tanavast was going crazy because of his shard 

[Calderis he/him]

Am I the only one who sees Endowment in a negatively light Shardwise? 

Yes, it's benevolent, but it also requires giving of it's subjects. Awakening can't exist without legions of drabs, condemned to near perpetual sickness and depression. For every "gift" there is a cost.

Still better than Cultivation.... At least I'd know that I wouldn't suddenly be "pruned" out of society!
