What is his angle? What happens in a tie?

Giving waitlisted people the ability to murder non-responsive players was a great idea. Need to do that more often.

Presumably Hel uses the threat of tying the vote in order to get some leverage to accomplish their semi-mysterious goals. I'm still sort of expecting Redcloak to barge in and add the Dark One's vote at some point.

Just has to make #1000 as climatic as possible. Or anticlimatic.

It does make me wonder what happens if there is a tie though all of the way across though? Do the human priests get to vote? Does Odin's vote as leader just count as 1.1 votes? Because regardless of what he votes the best he's gonna do is go from "not destroy the world"->"perfect tie".

And that's how Hel reveals she incarnated an avatar of another Norse God in one of her thrall's bodies, given her an additional vote.

Didn't the prophecy say that Durkon's  bones would return home? That means that the world can't end immediately at least.

Well, they're in the North now. Technically he has fulfilled the prophesy. Except the whole "bring great destruction" part. But I think that might be what's happening right now.

Well the prophecy was he will end us all so it hasn't been fulfilled unless it was he will bring death and destruction cause he's killed a guy and broke a window, prophecy fulfilled.

http://www.pantheon.org/articles/h/holler.html
In Norse myth, Holler is the god of death and destruction and the one who brings diseases and disasters. He drags people to his dungeon where he tortures them to death.

So if Hel is allied with Holler and turning the unaffiliated guy gives Holler a vote then technically...

Pretty sure Durkon is just going to start eating priests, with all that plot point about their spell slots being expended building the dumb temple.

That was the unaffiliated priests responsible for hosting. Durkula would get his ass kicked if he pulled anything on these guys - and Hel, too.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.
