I hereby request that the development of the microwave be pushed forward and then introduced to heat said tea.

As the Framers intended. :D

To be fair, the dark place could be a pit of tar that is about to be used to serve some naval purpose at HMS Victory, so perhaps 2, as long as that it's naval-related.

It seems appropriate that my first Butterfly vote would be for Tanks, so put me down for 3. Tanks! I'm hoping for good discourse on improvements to fluid storage technologies

In the realm of our Grand Poohbah @El Pip, did we know if all votes are considered to be free and equal? Could he be using some kind of weighting factor? A lesser weight for added votes from the same voter. A greater weight for originality in the vote. Is the election a sham by the Grand Poohbah to keep the thread moving?

Three more to the end of the page! Win or lose the vote, KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE PRIZE!

We mortals plan, and the God, @El Pip laughs.

Let us begin with the important thing, somehow Kurtie has ended up the swing voter. It's a tie between II and 3, so his "Tanks in Dark Places" vote will swing it, depending on how it is interpreted. Even after all these years, he retains the capacity to impress.

A. Continue down the runway4
II. A detour to dark places6 (or 7)
3. Tanks (contents may vary)6 (or 7)
Delta. In The Navy2

One solution is combining A and 3 to do the RAF-Army co-operation aircraft update next, which will certainly feature tanks in some way while also continuing the aircraft theme. This may, or may not, influence future voting patterns.

As ever in Pippian tradition: I offer options Delta:

THE NAVY. CARRIERSS. BATTLESHIPS. Big boats, little boats, subs.... Rum, sodomy and the lash!
It is good to see some people maintaining standards and inventing new options.
II Advance the plot!
The more I think on this, the more it seems dangerously un-Butterfly like.
Would an expose on sodomy in the navy fall under II?
Can you have an expose on things people already know/suspect. Unless the expose is that actually it doesn't happen?
Not quite fully, but I'm getting there thanks. Was able to explore the Starfield while convalescing so mad sure to take advantage.
Excellent news.
I believe the best vote is for A. You appear to be getting up a good head of steam with these Aircraft updates, when the Muse is speaking to you, do not interrupt.
This is an important factor, I am leaning towards the tank-aircraft combo update for that reason.
My morbid curiosity is getting the bette of me… detour into dark places, II, gets my vote.
I wouldn't get your hopes up too high on this one. I mean I hope it's interesting but it's not going to be wildly outside the usual boundaries of a Pippian detour.

At least you have stopped trying to make tea with sea water, so that is a tiny improvement.
To be fair, the dark place could be a pit of tar that is about to be used to serve some naval purpose at HMS Victory, so perhaps 2, as long as that it's naval-related.
This is surprisingly close to the truth of what the dark place involves. Except it's not really naval related.

I salute you on your knowledge of how these votes work and the meaning of the options. Excellent work.
Tanks in dark places.
Cunning Kurtie, very cunning.

The Voter Colonel is very upset at you questioning his professionalism and the work he puts into ensuring the purity and integrity of the ballot box.

Slightly over that, currently running at a 10.2 real time to game time ratio, which seems nice and healthy.
