    I'd rather settle this between ourselves. I like being able to pick and choose.

    But please come up with your own packages if this method won't take.

    I vote for B1. Unarmed Mastery + Kenjutsu + Reikan
    Or if we can still accept other packages then

    I vote for
    Kashmir Slippers's Unarmed Compromise.

    Kashmir packages takes over B1.

    For the love of god just let treave put some hardcoded options for us to vote.
    This discuss! has gone TOO FAR (40 pages since the update, WTF).

    Really? We're doing this again?? And I thought we were gonna finally get somewhere with the build votes.. Sigh... Should've known it was too good to be true. If we're gonna go down this route, then I'll have to vote my package, coz it has mysterious new technique from Zhang.

    Ugh. I'm beginning to think we might hit 15K votes still debating this.

    I'm just in favor of solving this in one whole vote, that way everyone knows what exactly what they're picking and why. Split up in two separate votes, this will just be a grade-A clusterfuck that probably won't come out working well at all. I'll vote for an immediate solution:
    C2. Kenjutsu + Silk+ENDURANCE + Reikan>B1. Unarmed Mastery + Kenjutsu+ Reikan

    Yeah, this is pretty bad. For all the Codex's talk about Choice and Consequences, what we all really want is some linear railroading to take the thinking away.

    Or at least to not have the thinking carry us past the 600 page mark before Chapter 3 has properly started.

    I'm sure the crowd that just want to see the game continue and does not bother, about the frequent and very lenghty voting drama is large enough that it could set up a instant winning random clustered together solution. :D

    The problem isn't "Codex is popamole" but that we're having over thirty guys from any of the twenty-four timezones voting on thirty-five options and trying to push through their own agenda. This just isn't gonna work in a reasonable timeframe, no way. Just too many variations to play around with and tweak to our hearts' desires.

    So, is the consensus that we want treave to save us? Oh well, it was worth a try.

    The actual problem is that there are 30 votes and 1000000 combinations to vote on.

    What is the problem with two-part vote? We vote the main build and then everyone adjusts their secondary packages accordingly.

    No one can even agree about what the main build is supposed to be.

    Yes, that's the point of voting for it. XD B1 is currently in the lead, I believe.

    I understand that after so much thought and discussion that you guys put on this it sucks to let treave handle it. If we could get a final list of, say, 5-6 packages that are 24 month(since the majority agrees on this) but WITHOUT the addons, expansions or DLCs i would love that.

    You know what? This is a decent idea: take the six most popular modules from my previous tally and have us pick from them.

    If we're going to be doing that, might as well have treave do it. I personally don't mind at all, really. :lol:

    Fuck that. I'll be too butthurt since there wasn't the addon skills I wanted. I think I must propose my own package and my own voting system to get my way through.
