I'm afraid to go back to my first post here.I KNOOOOOOW RIGHT?
Seen some pl***, man. I've seen some pl***!
Yeah but do you know how the game story works? If the Imperials win the Jarls will vote for Elisif the Fair to be the next High Queen of Skyrim, and the moot will give Elisif her title of High Queen, and if the Stormcloaks wins the jarls will vote for Ulfric to be the next High King of Skyrim.
You are all of you beneath me!
What evidence do you to show all the Jarls will vote for Elisif? More people seem to prefer Balgruuf from what I've seen.
After playing Skyrim for 700 plus hours I never heard of anything in that nature. Can you provide me the names of the NPCs that even suggested that Balgruuf would be High king of Skyrim if the Imperials win? In real life People (Not NPC) prefer Balgruuf to be High king, but not in the game. It's either Ulfric or Elisif.
I sure hope you're joking on this.

Whoa now Raijin, who said he was to be High King? I said people seem to prefer him to Elisif. I find it hilarious how you just ignored my question too...
It is easy to click a poll, but I don't necessarily think that means those opinions are any less credible or real. Not that I think you're suggesting that, but not everyone feels as able to articulate the reasons why they clicked the poll button. Which I know is a concern where this thread is related.
As for "bursts", I've seen periods in this thread that were almost nothing but walls of Stormcloak arguments, with a faint Imperial disagreement here and there. I've seen it go both ways. I don't necessarily think even if the Stormcloaks were the "underdogs" in this thread that that would mean people would just flip over their views or refuse to post. If anything, I've seen people post vehemently in here even in previous months because they felt like one side or the other was losing perceived contemporary ground (I've seen Imperial-siders do it too).
I guess I'm just not really looking at all of this as any sort of tit-for-tat competition. I've repeated so many of the same points in here ad infinitum that some days I wonder why I keep coming back. I like to jump in to help correct misinformation that theoretically gets repeated, and I will respond to arguments I find problematic. But I really don't think that the volume of argumentation does much to change any minds. Even the most casual passerby typically has prejudgments and inclinations. I think most people find the mud-slinging in here to be more entertaining than anything. But maybe I'm just cynical.
Where's Balgruuf, anyway? He should be here to stand up for himself.
I don't mean to imply that there's anything particularly wrong with the thread.
I am only answering why I am one of those who feels that the SC position in this thread is the minority one, by far. If it changes, in a new burst, well, I may find myself arguing in favor of the Imperials. Who knows?
Not avoiding your question... just it doesn't make any damn sense. Nowhere in the game that stats that NPCs prefer Balgruuf over Elisif. Like you said "More people seem to prefer Balgruuf from what I've seen." IRL yes but not in the game.
