Autumn Scenario Specials Poll #1
🕑 Added 2024-09-04 19:16:22 +0000 UTC
Well, we've just finished the Summer Scenario Specials, and here we are doing the poll for the autumnal ones!
But, after writing about summer so much, I am SERIOUSLY excited to write about autumn again! The cosiness, the vivid colours, the crisp weather...and of course the opportunities for romance, hehe! ;D
There will be two polls this month! First one to decide who the scenarios will be about, and the second to decide what they'll be about.
I figured we'd throw almost everyone into the mix this time round, lol! ;D

Glad I'm not speaking my concerns to an abyss then, LOL! Got total radio silence on that suggestion otherwise. Crickets.

fwiw, i think you’re closer to the mark than some would give you credit for!

I switched my vote from N to F. While I like all the Wayhaven characters, I don't read romance scenarios outside of Unit Bravo. It would be upsetting to see only three members get a fall scenario.
Eve
I would not say A-mancers have an advantage, but I definitely see where you're coming from with the M route hangups, LOL! M needs to get a clue. 2+2=4. If you really like the MC and want to do romantic shit with them all the time, then you have feelings. Don't be a fool! Own up already! LOL
EvilChani
Yeah, I feel you on A. I just can't go through that torture anymore. With M, we may get physical and very *indirect* verbal affection, but it's usually mixed in with something negative--slam pig comment, being reminded that it means nothing, M getting confused and pulling away, or just being kind of nonchalant as a RO when they literally *try* to see the MC if the MC is their bff. What's there isn't stable or defined, which is intentional to make the MC feel insecure and uncertain, much like what A-mancers get. Sure, some players will make their MC "certain" of M because of the "good" parts, but it's not really supported by what the MC sees and is more of a 4th wall-breaking thing because we're given M's POV (something the MC is not privy to). So, really, M-mancers are in the same boat as A-mancers. In fact, the A-mancers have an advantage because, if MC let A get hurt in b2, you get a repeat of the "Tu omnia", and even if you don't get that, A isn't denying their feelings for the MC anymore (just resisting them). With M, we get them acting like someone in a relationship but still not *wanting* a relationship and refusing to consider there is something there other than lust, team loyalty, or indigestion (despite basically telling A they loved the MC, but that's been forgotten and dropped!).
Jason Bond
Exactly!
Eve
BAHAHA
Eve
Oh, agreed! And I immediately pictured her to be supermodel-gorgeous just based off of the brief description we got of her, LOL. I want to know more about her powers, too. Being able to pluck memories from people? Like, hello?
Eve
That is a really good point. My initial instinct is always to vote for A when it comes to these little bonus scenarios - I love all the other love interests dearly, but A's stubborn ass is determined to keep this slow burn as slow as humanly (vampirically?) possible. Like broken crockpot slow. With M at least you get the physical and verbal (like concrete and implied) affection in the game, but A is just... psychologically torturing themself and the detective/agent. These little scenarios are always a nice excuse to see them less distant outside of the game. I ended up voting for Li-Sar for this special, though, because I'm excited about the new villain and want to know more about them, but if they weren't an option I'd probably have chosen A, or maybe Tina or Alima (again, because I want to know more about them but don't get the chance in-game due to their lesser screen time).
EvilChani
I think it's a bit disingenuous to blame it on race. In the game, both F and N can be in relationships with the MC--neither M nor A can be, and it doesn't look like it will happen anytime soon. M is written to be dumber than a sack of hammers and clueless about feelings for the sole purpose of dragging it out for another book or two, and A is written as resistant (and likely will be until the end of b4, at the very least), so a lot of us will jump at any chance we get to see M and A acting "relationshippy". It's just that simple, at least for me.
Jason Bond
I almost chose Chana just because I would like to know more about her. Her brief appearance in Book 1 seems sweet.
Eve
I already regret voicing that suspicion knowing how... poorly this fandom deals with race at times.
Eve
I'm not gonna say it's race, but... it smells like it maybe to you too, huh?
Nathaniel Mayfield
Obvious mommy issues...no thanks
Mar
N and F, I will always love you and love all of your specials! 🥰🥰
Mar
Yeah but the distribution of 36/21 and 4 doesn’t have to do either number of choices though
Eve
It feels weird that F isn't more popular. Buuuut I'm going to blame that on the sheer amount and variety of choices here... plus the novelty of everything.
Eve
LOL. You're right. As much as I adore them, if this were real life I'd need them to work out all those issues before even considering actually dating them. Except Farah. I think she would be the most approachable
Mar
the distribution here is … interesting
Mar
M has *been* massively popular
EvilChani
Isn't it awesome?? I always feel like M gets the short end of the stick, is usually last in line for everything, and gets dissed because of their personality... so it makes me gleeful to see them getting the love in this poll! ❤️❤️❤️
Kimi Moons
Needs more Falk 🫣
Seraphinite Games
I’m really sorry, I was doing this late :(
Jason Bond
Your N algorithm is still broken. Perhaps change Nat to Natalie.
anammorar
Oh, dear Morgan. Is our time 🍂
Cole Robertson
elidor ❤️
Mewsly
Yeah it just doesn’t feel right!
Link
I have to know more...Mr. Bad Guy 😈
Swietlana
I’m with you on that one! It really baffles me that people sleep on F😞 Like, I get it, they’re the least popular RO, but it will feel so wrong to have scenarios of 3/4 of UB….
Nathaniel Mayfield
I have a pro human bias. I'd rather romance tina or haley in real life. The vampires aside from being vampires have too many issues
Eve
I wish we got one more than one vote!!! I love Haley, and her last special was so nice 🖤
Eve
I was gonna vote for A (I am starved for A content after the end of B3) but Li-Sar is too new and hot, so.
Eve
LMAOOO we'll get em next time
Rachel Stone
I was curious about Li-Star but I figured alot of people would vote that way just cause they're new. Can't let A get left out. 🥰
OpheliaMars
Only one vote?! 😭
Mar
Can never have enough N specials! But Li-Sar 😳
Nathaniel Mayfield
Autumn means Thanksgiving which means sweet potatoe pie...oh Haley
Mewsly
I was going to vote for Li-Sar since I think getting new content for them would be fun…. But then I saw how few votes my beloved F had AND THAT WILL NOT STAND 😤😤
Jules
Hot damn the love for M is exponentially great compared to the beginning of Wayhaven. Well deserved. Bless Seraphanite games for making M.
abby
so no bobby? *breaking skateboard meme*
Jules
LI-SAR SWEEEEEEEP
abby
i’ll always vote for my beloved A <3
