The thinker faction just has to be a pain, right? Of all the factions in My Majesty the thinkers are by far the most divisive, doling out requests and questions that certainly seem the right thing to do but your subjects vehemently feel otherwise.
Many requests you get from the thinkers seem to make a ton of sense from a modern perspective, but are close to blaspheme in the medieval timeframe the game is set in. You have to keep this in mind when you tap their icon and get ready for their next riveting request.
Progress is good, but your kingdom’s subjects are going to fight it tooth and nail.
The other five factions in My Majesty have been given the same treatment as the thinkers here. If you’d like to have similar guides for the other factions, crack open these links and keep them open:

How to use this guide
First and foremost: This is by no means all of the questions/requests you’re going to get when you approach the thinkers. I played the game for a few weeks, didn’t think to keep track of questions and answers, and started last week.
Most of the questions here are listed with incomplete results — aka, they only have the results for one answer. This will be more fleshed out as I keep playing, but this is the starting point.
My Majesty is absolutely packed with grammatical errors, and those errors have been retained in the questions and answers here just to make things easier.
Important words in a question are highlighted so you can scroll through and find what you need easily.
