Great Experiment voting now open  

Posted by Whirly / R00kie in , , , ,

The voting for the Great Fate Fractal Experiment phase 1 is now open. You have 6 days in which to make your mark, and place your vote. The polls are to the right

At the end of voting the most popular three aspects and single genre will be selected...assuming they show some form of mutual compatibility. In the event that two incompatible aspects are chosen (there are a few clear opposites) the less popular of the two will be dropped in favour of the fourth most popular aspect.

Have fun choosing.. you can pick as many as you like.

Voted! Can't wait to see where this goes. The current front runners (genre: Hard Sci-Fi, and aspects: Action Yields Its Own Rewards, Fight the Power!, Labyrinthine Metropolis, and What Tangled Webs We Weave) definitely suggest a pretty clear, workable, and awesome direction. I'd actually expected you to end up with some much harder-to-reconcile choices.

I've actually been trying to figure out what I'm going to be running next, myself (and here is a long blog post about that). Next time, I think I might have to try something like your experiment (whether or not we're even using Fate or SotC).

Well after the genre restart we have in first place for Genre:-

E.E. "Doc" Smith style Space Opera

Closely followed by:

Napoleonic-era fantasy
Victorian Undersea Adventure

Hard Sci-fi which was leading before the restart is trailing in 4th place (although 4th out of 30 is very respectable)

Trailing with 'NIL POINTS' we have:

Contemporary Crime drama
Dark Fantasy
Gangsters

Looks like I'll have to read up on my Lensman, Jules Verne and Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell. I guess noone wants to play at CSI or the Sopranos. Interesting that the genre which suggest a specific set of books seem to be doing better than the more generic genre.


On the Aspect side the front runners are:

Action yields its own rewards
Fight the power!
The Great Library
What tangled webs we weave


All of these are great aspects - and would work well with all three of the leading Genre. It looks like the Great Library has overtaken Labyrinthine Metropolis since Matt posted.

Only one of the 50 aspects has yet to recieve a vote, and ironically its:

There can be only one

I'm trying not to have too many ideas because both polls are actually very close and just a few votes could radically change things.
