For the Trident of Triton!

IKI-MURSU

HAIL HOUSE TRITON

Mr. TwigArm

We have already had a democracy, and a dictatorship/oligarchy, its time for an empire. House Triton is the way

Darmug

It looks like Triton might win, but idk?

Highlord Vyrana

I personally am hoping for Eternal Kreventum

Reed Walters

The Tripartite feels like an actual union of states, parts distinct from one another that will set up an excellent exposition.

Phobos

Unceasing Triton W's Subscribed just to do my part

Ferret

I think a civil war in the Tripartite would be very interesting to see!

Mighty Engrams

Vote UFN, for democracy and destroying the star empire

Sam Earl

Space feudalism is always the greatest choice

Grace

My vote goes to eternal kreventum

Kudos_77

A Vote for House Triton is a Vote for a Glorious Kingdom!

Brian Schlanek

Looking forward to the link between the three seasons

Raz Flash

Triton feels the best. UFN is compelling as well, but I love the other houses concept.

IKI-MURSU

Sure, but I can't really say that I have a close connection to any of the three historical empires, all other factions feel more, I dunno, more inclusive, if that makes sense.

WilliamTheKaiser

UFN feels very vanilla, let's see someone more interesting win

Bronzer

Let our motto ever be: For Union and for Liberty!

Not!Kamala Khan

As a lover of history, I'm sad that the Tripartite of Rome/China/Inca is second to last. Ah well, at least House Triton and its Dune/40k antics are the current frontrunner. They were my second choice.

L O

For the Holy Solar Empire!! (It is holy and a empire, i swear)

IKI-MURSU

I feel like the whole campaign goal being effectively a mass suicide killed them

Magnus

As of opening, UFN and Triton leading out of the gate with Triton in a slight lead. Kreventum in a distant third and both Sols aren't even on the board.

Blockaderunner 10

Triton is pulling away with an early lead, but key constituencies have yet to be counted key urban constituencies are calling early races pushing the UFN up in the polls, will it be enough to counter the strong early performance from Triton strongholds in the south east

Vossler

Suffer not the Xenos in the Galaxy of Man!

Reed Walters

I understand and see your point completely, it's more so attractive to me on the basis of it having a lot of rich Earth lore, instead of outer planetary lore.

Yeah But What If

They're clearly going for a crisis empire path, either Galactic Menace or Cosmogenesis. Either way, it's not eternal suicide... although everyone else is in trouble.

Lucky Lynx

Glory to House Triton, for we shall make the Galaxy for Man alone

Mike Munthe

I think it time for the tripartite of Sol to conquer the stars

Some Guy

Humanity first there only one choice

Edmund

where’s the love for Kreventum? it’s so unique! ah well, Triton was my second choice so i’d be happy with that too

K

Glory to house Triton!

Mike Munthe

Tripartite of Sol, the ancient forrunner of the antares confederacy

Dash

Kreventum is so wild and unique that I wish it were getting more love, but had to go with the gonzo whackiness of the Holy Solar Empire

Pack Man

Vote Federation. Anyone who disagrees should report to their nearest Democracy Officer at once.

Rhys Lunn

May the Holy solar empire be eternal and shiny

griffin

Vote federation

Merrick Lewis

Vote Triton! At least we won’t chop a planet in two like Cyprus!

griffin

Vote federation

Mr. TwigArm

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN TRITON IS THE WAY TO GO, VOTE TRITON

Nicky Morrin

I love democracy, I love the Federation.

levlevin

Attention Institute Personnel, Midnight Zulu L reporting for duty. Comparative Analytics Subcommittee has conducted preliminary analysis of UFN world-file and has flagged significant overlap with previous Institute undertakings. Predictive models indicate 87% alignment with archived world-files. Recommendations: deprioritize in favor of more pressing research vectors, resources would be better allocated elsewhere. Midnight Zulu L, out

FemaleKay IsBest

I want them all, but the Holy Solar Empire must emerge victorious.

James Baxter

Join the UFN today! The United Federation of Nations is the Galactic Community’s last, best hope for peace & stability!

Expozin597

I vote with Faith and Glory. For House Triton!

Coolclaytony

I am exceedingly dissapointed that the two most boring options are the ones getting the lion's share of votes.

Pandaboi8577

UFN all the way but sad to see the holy solar empire so low. My 2nd favorite origin by far. Maybe unpopular, but i hope in future seasons MARC goes full autocracy and just runs either UFN or HSE( or both). The OGs deserve their stellaris runs.

Fadeless

HOUSE TRITON ALL THE WAY!

IceLordCryo

While not the most popular vote, The Tripartite of Sol was my absolute favorite

alpharius30000

I am alpharius, and by my father's rotting corpse do I stand with the trident!

Ormr1

Would genuinely be very curious to see what a multi-round vote would look like

The GOAT rizzard

UFN UFN UFN UFN UFN UFN UFN UFN UFN UFN UFN UFN UFN UFN UFN UFN UFN UFN UFN UFN UFN UFN UFN UFN UFN UFN UFN UFN UFN UFN UFN UFN UFN UFN UFN UFN UFN UFN

Meatface55

still early, hopefuly

IKI-MURSU

That would propably stop people from voting strategically

JekSi

I'm hoping for a runoff election, but also just so happy that the institute is back!

Liam Vaartjes

Multi-round voting would be a good way to get around the lack of ranked choices on patreon. Eliminate the lowest-ranked one each round.

Coolclaytony

In fact, in spite of these statistics, i'm going to post my rankings ANYWAY! Tripartite of Sol #1 Holy Solar Empire #2 Eternal Kreventum #3 House Triton #4 United Federation of Nations #5

Liam Vaartjes

Would love to see HSE or Kreventum

IKI-MURSU

They have the most immediately apparent things to do, I think that's what it ultimately boils down to.

IKI-MURSU

or simply do a second round where the top 2 are voted on

HailRedKing

I got to give hope to the HSE. Have wanted it since season 1 and the trailers for this season and last made me even more interested in a mad post apocalyptic space theoracy

Nolann

Come on guys, let’s go with something more original this time that won’t overlap too much with the previous seasons

Monarch

Make Kreventum Eternal Again

G Thomas

Triton or HSE - let's have a monarchist playthrough

Marco Hampel

For House Triton I cast my vote!

mikeshogunlee

I feel you buddy, but I don't think it is going to happen. Fools looking to insert their WH40k fanfiction into the submissions really want House Triton.

Rich Tube

I am having a hard time deciding.

mikeshogunlee

Interesting. My ranking is similar. 1: Eternal Kreventum - Most imaginative of the settings; I feel like this has the most potential for actually interesting internal factions for the Discord RP chats. 2: Holy Solar Empire - For the Solar Emperor! Besides interesting techno-feudal internal factions, and an Alien Civ Submission I felt strongly about. The Story of Romulus Chuck interested me very early. 3: House Triton - While this would be the easiest for submission ideas, I also feel like that is a weakness because a lot of the other civs are going to be some what cookie cutter houses. I am also not a fan of KILL ALL XENOS! 4: Tripartite of Sol - The pantheon idea of not America and Russia interests me, just not a lot else going on for me. 5: UFN - I am not gelling at all, this submission does nothing to catch or stir my imagination.

Rachel

All five of these are great and I will enjoy whoever wins. That being said, #TeamKreventum

mikeshogunlee

While I cast my bid for the Eternal Kreventum, it looks like House Triton is destined to take it. But to be fair...the Trident symbol go hard tho

Riley Hull

I would beg a UFN playthrough. Exploring superstates that make up the federation as well as the other imperial vassals in an unstable political situation sounds like a believable, nuanced, and fresh take on what humanity seeking the stars might look like. Plus, I'm a little scared of House Trion just becoming a 40k x Dune mashup. Reforging the human imperium and killing all of the Aliens sounds a little... done before? Even if the idea of other human houses out there in the galaxy is a bit intriguing.

Gwen McGarry

I'd love the tripartite, but I feel UFN is more interesting than Triton, hope things shift

TheLittle_Stonerboy

Another poll another failure for the holy solar Empire. what a shame :(

Zac Russell

I love my boy Romulus Chuck, but House triton sounds so interesting.

Shaojie Wu

Man I really want the Tripartite, but seems unlikely. So I guess I'll vote Triton and make sure humanity reigns supreme!

l hess

Glory to the great house's of the inner shpe... i mean Mikey way!

The Average Joe

I'm sorry nut the UFN was the only non-Imperial option and I really wanna see Invitca tell a unique story instead of a 40k, Dune, or Star Trek clone. The Eternal Krel was the most interesting but IDK how it would go in game.

Jinnypingy

Budget 40k is just weird man. Genocidal racism ain't it.

Jan Rempt

Someday the Holy Solar Empire will rise. Someday....

Pack Man

A point to convince some guys on the fence: If the UFN wins you can also create your own Imperial Fiefdom empires that will also have the Star Empire as their overlord. We can still have a piece together a fallen empire narrative just without the xenophobia.

Gavin Griffin

Eternal Kreventum would actually be so peak (it’s the only original concept cause the other ones are Star Trek, “haha finno Korean hyperwar,” 40K, and Dune)

Marc Wolf

I think the UFN has the most rp potential of all origins.

Moosebobby

House Triton, FOR MANKIND!!!!

Daisy

The UFN copium courses through my veins!

IKI-MURSU

Triton has at least equal amount of rp potential trough all the houses theyre going to collect

XiahouDun1225

I'm going UFN. I'm tired of seeing 40k or 40k lite Stellaris playthroughs.

IKI-MURSU

Counter point, if Triton wins you can design both a custom empire and a vassal house

Pack Man

Triton only interesting if we remove the xenophobia though. Otherwise it's just a 40k larp

IKI-MURSU

Triton beign an 40k larp just isn't such a big deal for me. We will have the other human houses around with whom we can be diplomatic with, even if we can't get rid of the xenophobe ethic.

IKI-MURSU

Also you could equally say that the UFN is just a Trek larp

ParaEwie

Tripartite FTW

Thomas Miclea

UFN and EK to me sound very interesting. But I ought to go with the vamps, I am really curious to see how The Templin Institute will tackle a World of Darkness type of galactic empire :))

Pack Man

Sadly Krev ain't gonna win. Vote UFN and embrace democracy!

jacob pelzer

Was Leaning UFN Till I saw House triton whom i chosse

Athryl

I'm voting UFN. It starts out as a democratoc federation but it can become anything. Triton seems like its story is already laid out and that seems less fun and has less opportunity for change.

IKI-MURSU

You know you could create a custom vampire house if you voted Triton

IKI-MURSU

On the other hand UFN might be pulled in more directions and stagnate as a result

Sean Feeney

I'm going Eternal Kreventum cause I really like the idea of eldritch horror humanity, but if in 8 days they are still losing I'll change my vote.

IKI-MURSU

They're the only democratic option so they got the whole crowd while Triton, HSE and Tripartite share more with each other, that's at least my two cents.

Gavin Griffin

Personally, I find dune more interesting than Star Trek, but I voted for Eternal Kreventum because I find it more original

mikeshogunlee

Same, while I would prefer the Solar Empire version of the 40k pill. House Tritian has a better chance of winning.

Hawkatana

Come on UFN-heads, we need to beat the Temu IoM!

WhiteQuacka

im totally split between the UFN and House Triton, but im leaning towards triton for the whole reuniting a split humanity and all that, might be my warhammer fan showing through a bit

mikeshogunlee

While EK is my favorite, I’m also with you on the HSE, it is my second favorite. Unfortunately it seems we will have to wait another millennium for the Ballad of Romulus Chuk

mikeshogunlee

Yeah EK was filling me with a lot of ideas. Really sad to see it go.

mikeshogunlee

What this man said. I’ll take the Dune if forced with the Star Trek alternative, but Sci-Fi World of Darkness please!

Gavin Griffin

I prefer dune to Star Trek (whatever the other person said about fitting your weird death cult/hive mind/savage predator humans into the triton story works okay for me) but we’re on the same side here

Squid

Up with the trident! Up with House Triton!

Gavin Griffin

the people desire their starslop…

Brandon Nakasato

1 vote for the UFN for me but I also liked the Tripartite and Kreventum

Wicked's Nest

glory to the Federation. we need some up beat scifi!

SUPCOM4566

UFN feels too somewhere between the last two seasons of Invicta to me... Any of the others would be great. Kreventum seem like the most out there though which would be cool to see something a little different than standard human fantasy!

Visi

Personally I voted for Eternal Kreventum. I want something DIFFERENT, and UFN seems too similar to the first two seasons for my taste. I'm sure it'll be great regardless, though!

FemaleKay IsBest

Honestly, I don't want House Triton to win, it's my least favourite of the options. I want the Holy Solar Empire to win, but if it doesn't look like it in a few days, I'll vote for the UFN.

7h3_man

The imperial fiefdom would be so cool

pynkbites

I am here once more to vote for Kreventum 🩸

FearFox90

One vote for Triton!

mikeshogunlee

Multiple Vote violation! Send them to the flesh pit for tribute to the Aberration, long may its favor last.

mikeshogunlee

Did you have any ideas for an internal faction? Mine was emo/self loathing gothic monks who hate their dad/Zombie Overlord.

mikeshogunlee

You got any ideas for an internal faction? I posted my own… somewhere, but interested to hear others

Breno Rocha

A vote for the Federation is a well cast vote

Mr. TwigArm

May I ask why its your least favourite?

Hawkatana

You say that like it's a good thing.

dvrkemperor

The Federation is too similar to what we did last season. Vote Triton!

Hawkatana

Bro, monarchy is THE most boring government.

Michael Adu

If we cant have ranked choice, can't we do run-offs with several rounds of voting and the least voted option removed for the next round of voting? Just a suggestion. Also, Eternal Kreventum Forever!!!

Rohan Sinha

I find the lore behind House Triton to be the most interesting of the options. While I'm not a fan of the "suffer not the xenos" tropey line at the end, I think it has the best hook.

Dale Palmitier

The "bad guys" being the saviors and an extra-hard crisis? Sign me up for the Kraventum!

Barracuda

This is a good idea. I hope it gets more attention

Skeeter Zymbal

HOUSE TRITON RULES THE WAVES! THE SPACE WAVES!

Skeeter Zymbal

Seriously though, this is a tough decision, but while I LIKE Kreventum, and even like UFN, I think Triton just has so much MEAT for gameplay from start to finish.

Nicheaiken

House Triton has definitely got the most overall potential that can be shaped both in and out of the Stellaris Campaign. Who know what dark political machinations and feuds lurk within the unity of the House of Triton, or how dark threats from outside the faction can interact with those socio-political forces?

Rohan Sinha

I agree. Personally, I've always thought of the UFN as too generic to be interesting. The Alien hegemon angle does make the UFN slightly more interesting, but not enough to beat out the other options I like.

Edboy4926

Dammit, I want to vote for Kreven but looking over the current results, I rather see Triton (my second choice) win over UFN. So giving Triton my vote.

Stormingart

For democracy! Vote UFN!

Brad

This, absolutely!

Rohan Sinha

To me it can be reduced to a single question: Do you like Dune or Star Trek more?

Edboy4926

Right now, Dune.

The GOAT rizzard

using democratic processes to not vote for the democracy....how undemocratic, please face the wall

Rohan Sinha

For me House Triton has a more interesting narrative while the UFN feels generic. To compare it to the vibes of the previous seasons: UFN would likely lean towards an Antares style game while House Triton would probably be more like the GTU.

Rohan Sinha

Yeah that’s fair. Personally, House Triton would be perfect if it didn’t have the “suffer not the xenos” line at the end. While the UFN seems generic to me, I understand the appeal of a hopeful Star Trek-esque Federation especially with the state of current events.

Harrison Irving

Holy Solar Empire seems the most interesting, I like a wasteland that actually does rebuild to a real society with advanced tech. But I'll probably end up switching to UFN so that it beats house Triton.

WhiteQuacka

the UFN has the potential, when their overlord collapses, to go teh route of guiding the other fiefs, or letting them do their own thing, which i kinda like that part of it. but again, Triton is my choice as i love the idea of rallying together the remnants of a broken, once mighty nation. one hope i do have, is they dont do the unbidden again, that would be a bit repetitive.

Esilaboora

This comment is dedicated to our Benefactors, the Star Empire.

FlorenceFox

Eternal Kreventum was my favorite out of the batch, but by the looks of things I'll be voting for House Triton, since they and the UFN are looking like the most likely winners so far, and they're my favorite out of the two.

Pvt. ToyGun

I think the Holy Solar Empire is pretty badass, the United Federation of Nations is just too generic

Benjamin Koomen

While I'd like the UFN to win (and thus voted accordingly), I'd be okay with Triton too.

Rohan Sinha

I wouldn’t say democracy is boring, though the UFN certainly always has been. This recent version did at least make enough changes for a good amount of people to want to watch a playthrough of it. Aside from feeling generic the UFN was essentially just the base game’s United Nations of Earth faction.

Argo Star

Yes. Thats why it has my vote.

Pack Man

UFN UFN UFN!

Hadrian Augustus

The Cloister of The Spirits pledges our loyalty to the House of Triton! May the Trident of the Son of the Earthshaker shatter our enemies! I would've voted for UFN if Antares wasn't literally last season, lol.

Hadrian Augustus

Tbf this is patreon where wealth buys influence. HOUSE TRITON FOREVER.

Nolann

I love how the whole comment section is doing their best to stay civil. W community. (CHILDREN OF THE TRIDENT! UNITE!)

先輩Anomaly

I'd like House Triton as it feels more Dune-like...albeit still different less generic and feels like individual characters within the story could change the fate of the nation as it's feudalism kinda. All Houses shall pledge to House Triton and more heroes shall come to revive humanity to galactic dominance!

Alain Vollant

I hope this time it will be easier to follow. The reason I didn't connect with SI2 was because there was too much stuffs going on I lost the plot.

Justicar

Was leaning Triton, but now with Eternal Kreventum in the playing field.... oh which to pick?

Shane

Damn. I picked the Tripartite of Sol as I felt there was some serious narrative goodness in there but alas others don't feel the same way. The UFN sound super boring guys. It's just the UFP from Star Trek in different clothes.

griffin

Vote for the federation

Rohan Sinha

Pick whatever one you think is cool or whichever one is the most interesting. You might want to vote strategically but I think it’s more fun to vote how you truly feel.

Rohan Sinha

Vote for Triton (but only if you really think it’s cool)!

Tayvin

Didn't think Triton would grab me so much yet here I am. I think that's mainly due to the potential rival Houses that are burning through my head.

Tayvin

I think the big appeal is that it's with the Imperial Fiefdom origin, which is a hook most people don't see.

Meatface55

ranked hcoice voting woul dbe nice

John Mad Man w/a Box

Went for the UFN, mostly because I like the idea of the geopolitics of a falling inter galactic order and multiple factions, the UFN included, jockeying for position and survival.

Piotr Monwid-Olechnowicz

I feel like without ranked choice we're doomed to UFN. I'd assume the same people vote for Solar / Kreventum / Tripartite (gonzo options)

Paul Allen's Card

Should do a second poll with only the top 2 options

Rom Hack

I like Triton as it's trying to rebuild something.... Also I like DUNE and want to see what can be made of this scenario

Apollo98

I like the Federation, but my main concern is that it'll just be another Western-style democracy like Antares. I loved the Confederacy, but I'm looking for something different this time around. Triton has my vote.

Garberchov

was gonna vote for Holy Solar Empire but doing some tactical voting for Triton because i don't want UFN

Pack Man

To be fair I do not think Antares was a western-style democracy

BenL

Poor Chuck :(

7h3_man

Finally understood how it feels during a European election

AzureOphidus

I agree, and we should do that to coincide with alien submissions.

Ezra173

Chuck will live in our hearts forever

Hadrian Augustus

It's not the most important thing, but if the source inspiration can rally you to support Triton...LONG LIVE THE FIGHTERS!

Disco4

UFN and Triton are within a few votes of each other. It's way closer than I expected, but I'm hoping the UFN will come out on top

Squid

Yes

Barracuda

I hope UFN wins, It will at least have the option of diplomacy while House Triton feels like just another boring "purge the xenos" kind of faction.

Somchate Wasantwisut

Oh boy, I didn't expect 1st and 2nd place to be so close! It's unfortunate that ranked choice polling is not available on Patreon. If no candidate empire is able to make 50% of the votes, I wonder if it would be ideal to do another 'run-off' round just between the top two candidates.

griffin

Vote for federation I am begging you please

avellaine

the zro must flow

SketchyRivet

While I hope for House Triton to win I am okay with the UFN winning cause they also deal with feudalism just as the vassal of a foreign power instead of rebuilding a Terran Imperiam

VanFraserOak

That would be ideal, atleast in my opinion.

Visi

Culturally Antares wasn't a western-style democracy, but it was definitely influenced by the way the western democratic system works, that's for sure.

Visi

Yeah, that definitely seems likely.

Infernos Gaming

Would've really liked to see the theism explored in the HSE, guess I'll just have to do it myself xD

wo1234

I'm doing my part for the UFN. For those concerned it's too generic, note that democracies don't have to stay democratic...

Hawkatana

But they're clearly the best option.

Hawkatana

We can't let House Triton win, support the UFN!

Lawrence Fish

All Hail House Triton Glory to the Almighty Duke!!!!!!

vcj

UFN! UFN!

Malachi Archer

Holy Solar Empire voters please hear me. We have lost. Let us move our support to House Triton so that we need not endure the generics of the UFN.

Kai Sir

THE TRIPARTITE LASTED FOR A THOUSAND YEARS AND IT WILL LAST A THOUSAND MORE

wo1234

Counterpoint: President Chuck arc

wo1234

I'm doing my part!

Paul Dickinson

The Holy Solar Empire must be cursed to forever have to compete with more interesting candidates for Stellaris Invicta.

Mike Munthe

that why i like the tripartite of sol, sound like something new imaginative

Hawkatana

Nah, UFN forever.

alpharius30000

With the way things are going I would ask that the people of the kreventum, HSE, and Tripartite migrate to House Triton.

BaronVon

Though my heart lies with Romulus Chuck, I must vote strategically for House Triton. LISAN AL GAIB!

Grattenstrom

While I like both UFN and Triton, the UFN loosing every contest it enters is funny, so I'll go Triton.

Manuel Gala

Let's defend the galaxy... and all its delicious blood!!

Coolclaytony

Yeah, but no ammount of administrative change is going to make Ican Empire ascend to the stars or gove us the legacy of romulus chuck, or turn everybody into vampires!

mikeshogunlee

But sir have you considered the benefits of undeath? For the low-low price of 30% of UFN’s votes the EK could be ours!

Mark Gomez

I personally like the tripartite of sol the most by far, but it's not going to win. I'm voting for house triton because there's no way I'm letting us become a vassal state.

wo1234

True, but all of that is still better than 'purge the xenos' (only strategic voting for UFN can take us to Valhallsium now). A death of democracy storyline would also imo be a nice thematic bridge between Antares and GTU

AManWhoWalks

Echoing what others have said – I think the Tripartite of Sol is just such a uniquely imaginative way of going forward. I wish it would get more votes, but I'm excited for any of these stories to develop. I can tell a real effort was made for each of them to not feel more one-note than the others.

Memes

Shouldn’t multiple votes be allowed? Wouldn’t that mean that people no longer need to vote as “strategically”

IKI-MURSU

It will be so satisfying when we hit 1000 votes, and you can tell exactly how many votes each nation has.

Hawkatana

Ignore them, vote for democracy like your life depends on it!

IKI-MURSU

HSE or Kreventum may even survive if Triton wins

Rohan Sinha

The fun part of being able to create Great Houses is that fans of the defeated factions could resurrect their favorite as a House.

wo1234

Counterpoint: UFN is flexible enough to have something for HSE, Tripartite and Kreventum voters; President Romulus Chuck arc, Da Qin colonial insurgency and Kreventum bio-mods (see social media posts). A UFN vote will let you have the best parts of all!

pynkbites

Never! I shall stan Kreventum until entropy consumes me! 😖

pynkbites

I was speaking non-contemporaneously, as I voted Kreventum back during S2. I can't say no to a lovely flesh pit experience tho!

Taylor | She/Her

None of us want that wo1234 lol. If I'm voting for the Mad Max Imperium I'm not interested in having a Star Trek president that just rips off the name. That would be more of an insult than anything.

wo1234

Taylor | She/Her, 'purge the xenos' is overdone and a corrupted version of Mad Max Imperium arising would be a pretty strong crescendo to UFN democracy blowing itself up (another plotline possibility)

Aurum Kommissar

How very comical, we're already in parlamentary system with two great parties attempting to draw the other 3 minor ones to form a coalition and push the vote... I DON'T LIKE IT, CHUCK, TAKE ME TO THE HEAVENS!

Theassenjoyer

I rly wanted the Kreventum to win ngl

Rom Hack

Honestly I'm happy with either choice. Pick whichever one you want, it'll be a great series either way.

Cr4nky

I swear to god if were playing as another democracy ima be upset lol either way it's alright though

Pandadude

Better have a runoff election after this

Enuvrack

A lot of you are changing your votes after only a day. Way awhile and see what happens before tossing it to a second choice!

AManWhoWalks

Yeah, I'd love to have some sort of feel of what the true non-strategic opinions are just to know

Rich Tube

Yes everyone listen to him

Skeeter Zymbal

This is such a difficult decision, because all of these are really cool, and seem to have inspired fantastic art. UFN - I love the Federation vibes, I would be happy if it won. ToS has such a cool selection of historical inspirations! HSE is... ok not my favorite, but still has such a neat interpretation of a stellar empire, I want to see where it goes. Kreventum is wild, even though I haven't watch the 'prequel.' Simply so gothic and cool. But House Triton is cooking something incredible there. I love the idea of building an empire from hostile factions with an established backstory! I think multiple human factions gives more room for individuals and ideologies to shine. It's an incredible project.

Rich Tube

As Magister said wait a while before voting strategically there is still time. For now vote for what you actually want.

Taylor | She/Her

Responding here because the comment we were originally commenting in was deleted and can't respond there. You'd have something with that line and 'purge the xenos' being over done, if that was what was said. What was said was Suffer Not The Xenos. Combined with them not being fanatical xenophobes, determined exterminators, or anything like that, leads me to the logical conclusion that they're not xenos purgers. You also mentioned plot development for the UFN falling apart, which is funny because it's far more likely for House Triton to lessen on their mechanically minor xenophobia, than it is for the UFN to do something that mechanically can't happen in the video game. It's disingenuous to present the UFN as completely unique in the ability to change when that's what the whole series is about, and other factions can change more easily. You said the UFN falling apart could lead to a knock-off HSE as a narrative development, which I disagree with and wouldn't like. Compair that to the narrative possibilities of something like an anti monarchist revolution being replicated in the game, where House Triton is changed to an elected government and the Duke is beheaded like in the French Revolution, or some lore about anti-noble commoners fighting back like the Ungratefuls from Lancer.

Taylor | She/Her

You'd have a leg to stand on, if that was reality. They're not exterminators, look at their civics, and we can push the House to a more xenophilic stance.

Raz Flash

The only chance of a runoff would be if it was within 1%

Hadrian Augustus

Triton has pulled ahead enough. Love to see it. FOR THE HOUSES. No need for a runoff now.

Rohan Sinha

I wouldn’t get too cocky, there’s still 282 people who haven’t voted. Assuming the number of patrons with paid memberships doesn’t increase, they could turn the tide for any faction.

Nik

romulus chuck sweep inbound

Kevin Durbin

I'm voting Triton, it was my second choice but it doesn't look like kreventum has the votes, UFN was my 3rd choice but i wish it had the playstyle of the tripartite, where each hyperpower gets different colonies threatening the federation from within by igniting old rivalries

Rich Tube

You can still wait before voting strategically.

Kevin Durbin

Same, but considering the community picked the GTU and confederacy and are split between the UFN (my 3rd pick) and Triton (my 2nd) i don't think the votes would change much, maybe kraventum (my favorite, Triton was a close 2nd) would have a better chance

Kevin Durbin

I was spilt between kraventum and Triton but if the UFN had the power sharing playstyle of the tripartite where each member hyperpower gets different colonies then it would be tied three ways on this one

Rohan Sinha

Vote for Kreventum! I’m for Triton but it’s more fun to vote for your 1st choice than to vote strategically.

Jonathan Townsend

I really like how they tried to go above and beyond with each nation. This seems like the most divisive of all the votes thus far. Antares and GTU were always the standouts of their votes. I do hope the UFN, Eternal Kreventum, and the Holy Solar Empire will return for season 4 voting along with the interstellar soviet union.

Hadrian Augustus

I wouldnt mind the UFN winning season 4. But it being back to back after Antares was boring for me.

alpharius30000

We have a little under 300 voters left, could go either way with this but my Heart still yearns for the Trident!

Steve Barcelos

He did a play through without monthly narrations of the Soviet Union faction so I do not see it coming back

IKI-MURSU

Humanity shall never be slaves! Glory to House Triton, death to the UFN kneelers!

wo1234

Fair enough Taylor | She/Her, I'm honestly fine with both and was just campaigning for UFN because navigating a collapsing empire and the fate of your democracy are imo legitimately interesting storylines while Suffer Not The Xenos sounded way too similar to 'purge the xenos' at first glance, which for me came out of left field for something Dune-inspired. That being said, yeah if Triton isn't there for xeno-purging (as is probably the case now that you mention it), it would be equally interesting to see the potential birth of a democracy and how it grows from the ashes of corporate feudalism, along with all other potential plotlines. Also, Dune. Despite my campaigning otherwise, I'd have been happy to vote Triton if it weren't for Suffer Not The Xeno at the last minute making UFN sound better by comparison.

Hawkatana

We can't let the discount Imperium win! Vote for the UFN, people!

Anthony

The UFN is the only choice here! Humanity is doomed without it!

Thomas

Really? We get the Finno-Korean Hyperwar level option of the Tripartite, and everyone goes for the basic bitch options? The Tripartite sounds fuggin’ AWESOME!

avellaine

ridin' with triton

Kevin Durbin

Yeah but i don't mind Triton winning, as long as UFN losses lol

Oof Almighty

House Triton will revive the imperium with the help of the other great houses! Humanity will be resplendent!

Sean Patterson

My brothers and sisters in Christ, how is the vote between Legally Distinct Star Trek Federation and Discount Imperium of Man? HSE, Tripartite, and Kreventum are by far the more interesting options.

Rohan Sinha

Now to be fair House Triton is moreso DUNE Lite with a sprinkling of IoM.

T3chKn1ght wants to make stuff

The options are either "Star Trek Federation, but with a slight twist to make it more interesting" or "Haha kill xenos because funny and heresy"

Jonathan Townsend

Brother I'm with you, I voted holy solar empire. I think most people feel the Tripartite will mostly be a gimmick... House Triton is cool because... its an old galaxy... united federation of nations, is in a very interesting a geopolitical situation, a new innovative power ready to supplant an old one.. but they appreciate the existence of the old power since it literally saved them from extinction. Theres a lot of nuance.. Personally tho, after antares, we need something else besides UFN. Really hope it returns as an option next season. House Triton, really needs to lean towards imperial ambition rather than purging xenos... I think the GTU was xenophobic and they never purged aliens, *merely* displacing them. I think triton seeks to subjugate them.

Rohan Sinha

You don’t really have to vote strategically yet, there’s plenty of time left.

Esilaboora

The UFN is also more Expanse then Star Trek.

Taylor | She/Her

No, the options are either "Star Trek Federation, but with a slight twist to make it more interesting" or "unique Dune inspired houses with less connecting them to Warhammer 40k than the Greater Terran Union." Seriously have any of you ever even read anything 40k related, like at all, or even read Dune?

Taylor | She/Her

Have you ever learned anything about the Imperium of Man or Warhammer at all? Genuinely, I'm shocked by how little you lot seem to know about it if you think any faction could be described as discount Imperium, hell y'all were saying the same thing about the HSE last season.

FlorenceFox

I am genuinely baffled by why so many people are comparing House Triton with the Imperium of Man from 40k. Basically the only thing they seem to have in common is xenophobia, and that doesn't even seem to be the biggest part of House Triton's concept.

CaptainZero

I feel like im the only one wanting Eternal Kreventum to win

FlorenceFox

I guess they also used the word "Imperium", which is not a thing that 40k invented.

FlorenceFox

Honestly, and I'm guilty of this myself, but I feel like it would actually win if everyone who wanted it actually voted for it. People pretty quickly turned this into UFN vs Triton tho.

Rohan Sinha

While I’m a fan of House Triton, I agree that people have started voting strategically very quickly.

Hawkatana

My sister in Christ, they literally quoted it verbatim in the teaser.

Kapten Gars

It is the result of obsessive 40K fans trying to hijack anything which even remotely resembles the Empire of Man no matter how weak the link. (You had 40K fans doing this with the HSE as well.) That leads to a response by the people who really don't like 40K who also now have a a convenient reason to dismiss Triton in favour of their preferred choice.

Kapten Gars

That is very much not what House Triton is but enjoy your Strawman.

Kapten Gars

HSE is closer to Imperium of Man than House Triton is and neither is all that close to the Imperium when you get down to the all important details.

Mlonos

I would love to see Kreventum it's the most original out of all of them but the numbers speak clearly we don't have much of a chance to win.

IKI-MURSU

Yeah it's quite sad

IKI-MURSU

Sons and daughters of humanity, hear me, do you wish to face the galaxy beaten but Unbent or on your knees groveling to an alien overlord? Vote House Triton death to the UFN kneelers.

Monochrome

I will just ignore people saying House Triton is like 40k,because they focused on "destruction of Terra" and "death of the Emperor" and its like code phrase for sleeping agent,they straight up activated. Its understandable why House Triton is xenophobic and militaristic,I more question where spiritualist part came from,we missing a quite bit of history here and there,as for other factions there is no reason they should be xenophobic too or even aliens,i mean its clear most of factions will be humans in that House Triton verse.So yes i voted House Triton. Hell out of all the options its second most flexible and possibility of interisting galaxy,most flexible is UFN,but its also vanilla as hell and most interisting galaxy could be Eternal Kreventum as it can be Bloodborne in space,but we need quite a lot mods and whole lot of imagination and i dont want to be disrespectful but most of you might be out of juice in the imagination department. Holy Solar Empire is humans of basicaly Mad Max verse sniffing some holy light before going off to stars,which is awesome in theory mess in practice and Tripartite of Sol is certainly something,but i am not sure if that something can be anything more than vanilla with extra steps.

FlorenceFox

At least with the HSE, like, there's pretty clearly strong 40k inspiration. Triton is much more based on Dune, and similarities with 40k are more a result of how much 40k ripped off Dune.

Mr. BIG THINK

some day we will have Eternal Kreventum, the coolest option by far

Observer

I just love the concepts of Tripartite of Sol and Eternal Kreventum, there is so much space for worldbuilding and role play but no most people seem to think "Yea kill xenos, human spuremacy!!

Darth Vergeance

Do not listen to the honeyed lies of the UFN or House Triton! Stand with the glory of the Eternal Kreventum! Tu Fui Ego Eris!

Taylor | She/Her

My sibling in Christ that's one line compared to a dozen Dune quotes.

Rich Tube

Don’t give up vote for Kreventum!

Rich Tube

Eternal Kreventum* sorry

Taylor | She/Her

No one from House Triton is saying "Yea kill xenos, human supremacy!!" a lot of UFN fanboys are saying that, but none of us are saying it.

Tayvin

We hear one anti-xeno line at the end of the intro vid and suddenly many people forget about the majority of the vid talking about potential rival houses and reclaiming a lost glory. If anything, the xenophobia seems more an afterthought then the main point.

Jules

Strategic voting for the cowards, Vallhalsium for the brave. Meet me at the gates, shiny and chrome.

Allstar13521

If you're not saying that then why are you voting for the "kill all xenos, human supremacy" faction?

Taylor | She/Her

Right under the polls, next to where it says "[###] votes total" you can see it says, as of now, 6 days left.

Taylor | She/Her

Well John, because we're not voting for the "kill all xenos, human supremacy faction", because there isn't one. We're voting for the cool noble houses with centuries of history and restoration of a galactic empire faction. Not to mention it's nice seeing a spiritualist faction have the possibility of winning.

Sacha Brenac

Eternal Kreventum boys where we at

Stormingart

Vote UFN! We will save the empire in the name of our benefactors! Say no to dune slop! Say yes to mass effect larp!

Bomastoned

Made an account just to vote house triton we gotta win this

alpharius30000

You just pushed us up by a whole percent!

Stormingart

Dune slop with a flavoring of 40k 💀

alpharius30000

To each their own but whatever, good luck to you as well.

IKI-MURSU

You misspelled our masters

Disco4

Vote UFN! We will not let fear compromise who we are!

Stormingart

Agreed! We will help our benefactors so they uplift us in the empire’s hierarchy while staying a democracy!

Allstar13521

I'll agree to disagree on the cool factor. They're one of two factions with spiritual ethics and xenocidal tendencies and of those two they're the only one that explicitly has "suffer not the xenos in the galaxy of man" as part of their mission statement.

IKI-MURSU

Brave Knights and Dames of the Imperium, heed my call. Time soon approaches when we will be called upon to liberate our wayward kin of Old Earth from the brutal grasp of their alien masters. I swear to you this day that when the hour of liberation grows near I, Michael of House Truth, will go to Earth with my sword in hand and drive the alien oppressors to the Tarpeian Rock!

IKI-MURSU

Vote UFN! We will bow and scrape for our alien betters!

IKI-MURSU

If you at this point manage to pull it off, then massive respects to Kreventum,

Hunter wolf

When are empire submissions going live?

IKI-MURSU

I believe after this poll if I'm not entirely wrong.

Stormingart

Vote UFN! We will save the empire! We will be the king makers for the empire! And we will be the sword for our benefactors! We will be the first amongst equals when it comes to vassals. We will befriend all the vassals and prop up those we wish to make our benefactors. We will rule the empire from behind the scenes while publicly staying loyal to our benefactors.

CJ

Honestly from what I've seen on the subreddit at least, the main people comparing Triton to 40k are UFN fans. Like they go really hard on the single xenophobia line as their main/only point to downplay Triton.

Rachel

Empire submissions begin on Jan 31st (after this poll ends) and end on Feb 14th.

Taylor | She/Her

@Stormingart Better than Star Trek slop with a flavoring of nothing.

Hawkatana

No, they spelled benefactors correctly.

Jesse Pohlman

Lelouch Vi Britannia commands you to vote for the United Federation of Nations.

Raz Flash

Where? Where is he?

Justicar

I agree completely, never made sense to me to vote only because you think you will win. Rather than for what you want. Think that just defeats the point of holding a vote altogether! And in the end, I voted for the Eternal Kreventum because it's fun and it's about Vampires! =D

jockstrap132

BECAUSE YOU TOLD ME TOOOOOOO!!!

Visi

I wish. It really feels like people gave up and decided to vote strategically WAY too quickly instead of voting for what they actually want.

Jay McIntyre

I voted Kreventum. I *specifically* joined the patreon to vote for Kreventum. But Triton is better than the United Federation of Boring.

Bryce Dunlap

I'm hoping for Triton, I've got some great ideas for a nation to submit for that, plus I love the healthy dose of Dune

Tayvin

The UFN's not THAT bad, it's got a decent hook with the Imperial Fiefdom origin.

Tayvin

I did not just see someone called Dune 'slop' did I?

Michael Schmidt

I really like Kreventum but unfortunately I like the idea of a Dune inspired universe that Triton brings more. Kreventum could be modified and fit into the others as a opposing civilization

Nora Ambrose

It's s shame to see the Tripartite in last place because the concept of the scripted collapse is really interesting. Rooting for a Kreventum dark horse though.

Eric

Looking for that 3 for 3 on the faction I like the least winning the poll

Jules

Vallhalsian fields forever

Vance

Yes

Tayvin

Vallhasia's gonna have to wait another day, my friend...

Leaf Face

I love Dune so I would vote for House Triton but since they're xenophobes I won't. I just love unique alien empires too much and Imo xenophobes are just boring story wise and attracts the worst of the fan base :/

Taylor | She/Her

@Tayvin, I have been learning that UFN fans are so unserious it hurts.

mikeshogunlee

I am the vanilla boy scout who likes Superman, the Star Wars Rebels, and Democracy factions in Stallaris. However I just can’t get behind the UFN, its hook just isn’t catching my imagination. EK and Triton on the other hand? I already got a dedicated order of monks waiting for EK, and a great house formed instantly in my mind.

IKI-MURSU

Yeah, but you have to remember that the 62% of people who aren't voting for House Triton will have immense influence on the choices we make when we are playing, so I would be really surprised if at the end of the season House Triton was still xenophobic.

IKI-MURSU

Democracy is just an alien word for slavery. Vote for House Triton to know what it truly means to be free.

Rohan Sinha

Let’s hope the Tripartite makes in an appearance in Season 4 (whenever that happens). I’d take it over another rehash of the UFN and HSE, make some room for new nations!

Mr. TwigArm

I mean, we will ultimately be seeing unique aliens regardless, especially after empire submissions, plus space Sci Fi in general attracts "those people"

Connor OBrien

"Your inability to vote for the holy solar empire was a colossal failure" "NAY IT WAS HERESY"

Connor OBrien

I witness you brother, the heretics will be blinded by our majesty

Connor OBrien

Xenos are welcome in the holy solar empire so long as they bow before the high solar and seek Valhallsium

N2Marine

I am glad that UFN and House Triton are the ones people are gravitating to. It seems the institution put a lot of work into them, so whichever of the two wins, I'll be happy and hope to see whoever is in second place selected next session.

Monochrome

Wanted to ask,what will be setting for galaxy?I just realised i doing ai test runs for submissions with max hyperlanes and no habitables so it giving me inaccurate results.

Visi

I did the same! Joined SPECIFICALLY to support Kreventum. Shame people gravitated towards two options. We really need a different voting system, I think.

T3chKn1ght wants to make stuff

I want the UFN to win because, while I know House Triton is based on Dune, I fear that they are gonna be fanatical purifiers and that gameplay/chat will turn them into an Imperium of Man clone.

IKI-MURSU

If there were enough people to do that to Triton, then there would be enough of them to turn UFN xenophobic as well.

T3chKn1ght wants to make stuff

Yes, but with the UFN, there'd be less of a roleplay reason to go all "Haha funny scream heresy crusade oppress and kill."

Kapten Gars

If you look at the data sheet posted on Bluesky and X you will see that Triton are not fanatical purifiers. Roleplayers can always try to twist a playthrough but I have full confidence that Templin will be able to resist such attempts as they clearly have a different idea in mind for Triton.

Observer

I admit i was way to harsh and Triton Fans. To be fair the pilot make it clear the house of triton is about human supremacy. I don't think it can be denied if you like house triton or not. I am not a UFN fanboy, personally i prefer tripartite of sol or eternal kreventum (which i voted for).

Observer

Because all the rival houses stuff does not make the anti xeno line disapear.

Welsh Ed

I wanted UFN, but went Kraventum at the last minute. I just think it would be the most unique option and would give stellaris a totally different feel.

Joshua

I went with Kraventum because it sounds different, but might switch to UFN in order to avoid Triton. Really not interested in a Dune clone right now.

Flumpy

Rip Tripartite :(

AwesomEvan

I hope that whichever one wins. The in game starting year will reflect the future alt history timeline. 2200 seems too early for many of these empires

Hadrian Augustus

DOWN WITH THE UFN, ARISE O MASTER OF THE WATERS

IKI-MURSU

Proud children of the Tripartite, blessed warriors of Romulus Chuck, Apex Predators of the Kreventum, heed my call. The UFN Kneelers come to you to beg for your support, they offer you sweet deals of little substance. I, Michael of House Truth, sworn knight of the Solar Imperium, have no such offers for you. I bid you to fight till the last breath has left your lungs, for there can be no dignity under an alien boot.

IKI-MURSU

The Tripartite lived as it died, with honor and dignity.

CJ

I know that in season 2 they ignored the in-game calendar for the lore/story. And went with AL (number of years after the landing of the flotilla) So most likely aside from maybe the UFN they'll likely make up a new calendar/dating system for the winning nation.

KID Z4P

No more military might factions. Time for diplomacy to step up. We need the UFN!

Kapten Gars

UFN literally has Militarist ethics , its is not the peace and diplomacy faction.

Hawkatana

You say that like the UFN isn't the clear best option here.

Cerfaile

Remember : the UFN is a blank slate. It is way more likely to turn into exactly what you fear than House Triton

Jay McIntyre

if by "best" you mean "boring"

Vox1982

I did the same, I am a little disappointed that it looks like House Triton is going to win precisely because it means much of the galaxy will be filled with more variations of Humans when more aliens is, to my mind, always more interesting. It is a pity there isn't a run off between the top two options of the initial vote, as I think Kreventum was the most interesting concept (and given this is the second time they have put it forward, they clearly think so as well) and I would have liked my vote for it to stand. Switched to the UFN in the hopes we can avoid House Triton but it seems to be a forlorn hope.

Eric

Same here, Triton just doesn't seem interesting enough

Connor OBrien

When you all witnessed the holy solar empire, were you blinded by its majesty?

Rich Tube

This is so boring nothing is changing.

Vance

They could honestly just end the vote now, I don't see it changing. There's be one new vote all day.

Stormingart

We getting dune slop 😭

Steven Le

bro's never read Dune

Steven Le

I'm sticking with Kreventum, hopefully we'll get it next season but I don't mind House Triton at all. I've seen a lot of interesting House ideas for the NPC empire submissions. Having an option that allows us to submit empires that have a history with the main empire is cool

mikeshogunlee

The existence of the DuneSlop; Implies the existence of the DuneJem.

mikeshogunlee

I understand the two of you are thirsty for action, however some of use are working. Not IRL, but some of us need a little more time than others to write!

ReaverCity

And with his head held high, the gates of Valhallsium opened. Its radiance blinding, its heat sufficating, its power divine And was welcomed like a lost brother, by All the Gods

Benjamin Koomen

While I would prefer the revamped UFN to win (and thus am not changing my vote just in case of a sudden surge in support), I do acknowledge that House Triton is unique in that it's not a democracy like the AC or GTU was (even if the GTU's democracy wasn't quite as 'democratic' as we normally use the word), and thus would bring something unique to S3 compared to the UFN.

Pack Man

Less the Dune, more the 40k I'm worried about.

Hello Universe

Xenophobia is the most fun thing about Sellaris though without it it would just be a spreadsheet simulator and this is from someone with 1000 hours in Game. Especially now that the Galaxy was once owned by Man, do you try to coexist with te Cockroach's on your property or do you exterminate them? We both know the answer.

Leo

Hi long long time lurker but it brings me great joy watching the UFN cope on Reddit.

alpharius30000

This ain't fanatic purifiers, it won't go that way, Marc clearly said at the end that it could very well be us guiding it to simply a far more human friendly galaxy, not genocide or killing all aliens. Otherwise why doesn't the data sheet for house Triton clearly specify fanatic xenophobe instead?

Bryan McClure

They Too much of a parody. The entire idea needs to be completely redone. I’m fine with a theocracy even an oppressive one, but at least that it makes sense.

Disco4

Yeah, I think the UFN may do better in a S4 after a power like Triton takes S3. After two democratic states and the high of Antares, I think people are looking for something different and the UFN is very much white bread and while this iteration is a lot more interesting it's not Antares

Bryan McClure

Why them they seem the least interesting as like a poor man, Star Trek

Bryan McClure

Then why Are you interested in the Star clone? Triton is clearly the best

Bryan McClure

They won’t be complete purifiers because there are other humans in the galaxy and human mutants

Connor OBrien

I love the idea of a post apocalyptic religion interpreting the old nations as goddesses, an astronaut as a messiah, nuclear war as the rapture, and trying to recreate it with a galactic doomsday device. I Become the Crisis campaign would be a new playstyle compared to GTU and Antares.

Nerd Guy96

Ugh casting my vote late and while i stand by it, sad to see both of my two favs I was aganoizing over ended up being the two lowest voted. I think the Tripartite and its significant alt-history themes was such a cool idea....hope it (or a similar idea) is brought back in the polls for a S4

Bryan McClure

I think the concept is cringe fedora level cringe. Though I about have the spirits of past nation deified is a cool concept. But everything else is cringe

mikeshogunlee

I feel the same way about Eternal Kreventum. See you as we fight to the death over the S4 spot, good luck buddy!

Pat Reon

Paralysed? Dumbstruck?

Bryan McClure

Exactly concept sounds like a bad parody made by a cringy fedora man

Bryan McClure

We had plenty of aliens in the other seasons. Have some human varents is a good will make thing different snd interesting

Jameson Wells

Tripartite of Sol deserves mad respect!

McPherson

My vote was for triton but it was a hard choice between it and UFN hope it comes back next season in a similar style

FemaleKay IsBest

By the rule of three. I don't think we'll have the chance to see the others after this. Farwell Holy Solar Empire. I'll continue to imagen just what you could have been.

Esilaboora

Romulus Chuck will return in Stellaris Invicta "Doomsday"

Mr. Moorer

Please house Triton win 🙏🏽🥹

Vox1982

Season 2 was dominated by finding Earth, finding out what happened to Earth, defeating the Screk to free Earth then fighting Earth to save it from itself. Relations with other Humans dominated that run through.

Stormingart

Dune slop mixed with 40k slop 💀

Stormingart

I will riot if Marc deletes UFN.

Vance

Storming, you repeating it won't make it true.

Rohan Sinha

I’d be okay with letting more new blood take the stage. HSE and UFN have had three chances to win, maybe they can sit out for a season.

IKI-MURSU

For the glory of the Solar Imperium, hail House Triton!

William DeWitt

Checking to see what my username is 😬

Beans

Rich Tube

time for strategic voting I guess but I will wait to the end probably

avellaine

the votes must flow

mikeshogunlee

Damn, Mark made a lot of money this week.

Cr4nky

We win these

Cr4nky

Go house triton!!!!

ROMF_Army

Well this would probably be the closest the UFN will comes to victory. GG, House Triton I think it will be a great start.

J.D. Locke

My actual choices were: 1. Tripartite of Sol (dramatic tension! Romans vs. Incas! Intrigue!) 2. Eternal Kreventum (after years of IRL voting for the lesser evil, why not vote for the greater evil?) 3. House Triton (Oligarchy is a nice twist... but what about the alien empires?) 4. UFN (Way too similar to both GTU and Antares) 5. Holy Solar Empire (Warhammer by way of Mad Max? Meme potential but no substance) Strategic vote is for House Triton. So I guess we Dune this.

mikeshogunlee

Cool list. 1. Eternal Kreventum: Such an imaginative idea, and all the edgelord memes the subReddit could dream of! 2. Holy Solar Empire: I was excited to witness the Balled of Augusta's Chuck. 3. House Triton: Dune with aliens is cool. But the real fun is I get to give two submissons instead of one! (Strategic vote) 4. Tripartite of Sol: I liked the bits where psudo Rome and Vikings in space, but the rest doesn't really get me. 5. UFN: Don't get me wrong, I am the vanilia-paragon-blue boy scout. However Antarus gave me my hero fantasy, so I'm not desperate enough to look past how unimaginative the UFN is.

Rohan Sinha

Since we’re doing rankings, here’s mine. 1. House Triton - I’m a big fan of Dune so this won me over pretty easily. 2. Tripartite of Sol - I was more drawn to what possible backstory/the background of the setting rather than its future prospects. 3. UFN - Despite always being generic to me, it’s a good middle of the ground option. 4. Eternal Kreventum - It was fine, I just found the other choices more appealing. 5. HSE - Just kinda feels like a meme rather than a serious contender.

Sean Feeney

Well I did vote for Eternal Kreventum, but as it now looks impossible for them to win, I will change my vote to one of the two front-runners, and I encourage everyone else to do the same.

Squid

I'd say it's safe to say triton won! Up with the trident! Up with house Triton!

Nelson Hunter-Valls

With everything going on in the world, all the misery, the cruelty, death, and destruction, we could all use a little hope that tomorrow will be better. I know House Triton has the lead in votes, and that it seems silly to want a Star Trek knock-off play-through when all the other options tread down paths whose stories will be mysterious and novel to us all. But if we want to build a better future for ourselves, we first have to envision a better, possible reality, and by doing so, we take that first step toward making this abstraction real. Right now, our power of imagination, our hope for a brighter, bountiful, fearless tomorrow for all peoples, is the fire that burns inside all of us who dream of this future. Please, if you are not already voting for House Triton, consider changing your vote for the United Federation of Nations. Together, we all have the power. Unus Pro Omnibus, Omnes Pro Uno

Rohan Sinha

Well said. Personally, I think people should vote for whichever option they feel is closest to their top choice should they decide to switch their vote.

Ben C

One of these days we'll get Eternal Kraventum.

Visi

One can only hope. It's such a shame that people gravitate towards the more familiar options, but I guess that makes sense.

Visi

I don't entirely disagree with the sentiment, but from my perspective I'm just tired of the familiar narratives. I think you have a VERY valid point, but I'm keeping my vote where it is. Just upvoting so others see your message.

Vox1982

I do know House Triton was, to me, the least interesting scenario. Eternal Kreventum on the other hand was the most interesting. Yet I cast my vote for the UFN when I saw EK wasn't going to win. I wonder how many others have done that. There could be votes for House Triton from people who really don't want a UFN run but who preferred something else. I know Patreon doesn't do ranked voting but I think they should have offered a run off for the top two instead so people could vote for what they wanted, then pick from the two top.

Visi

Vox, that's me. I voted for EK, but when it became obvious it has no chance a few hours ago, I switched to Triton. Because to me, the UFN feels too similar to Antares. I know it's substantially different but the broad strokes feel similar enough that I'd rather something different.

MonoTheMonitor

This is the first time I've pledged to the Templin Institute to vote on Invicta, and by God this vote is close! I'm still holding out hope that the UFN can squeeze in just enough

House Triton seems so meh to me. Are people really this obsessed with Dune?

Yes they are, and honestly I don’t know why, when you get down to it Dunes story is pretty basic prince avenges his murdered father story and has been done so much better elsewhere the Lion King did it better Hamlet did it better, and Hell even with the idea of an off worlder rallying an army of locals, to fight back against invader Who want to suck the planet dry to increase their own wealth, I’m going to say it Avatar did it better.

House Triton represents an opportunity to be a sort of bad guy faction. The GTU was a less extreme version of this in that they only really hated the Tyrum but they made enemies with a lot of other races because of it. House Triton truly does see Xenos as inferior to humans and seeks to dominate them. At least thats how I see it. I will be encouraging House Triton to dominate non hostile races and eliminate threats like purifiers in their entirety.

The Dune series as a whole is about not trusting messiahs or charismatic politicians. Instead of putting their faith into demagogues or religious figures people ought to think for themselves and not succumb to fear.

I like how this summary makes it super clear you didn't read the book, or even read a summary of the book

Why is it never the UFN? Still, close one. Well done, Triton.

UFN would have been interesting to see more aliens. But hopefully we still get some good alien submissions
