Election 1895 Begins!

I have several Suspicion removing offers and I can’t accept any of them… is it likely they all aren’t in London right now? It’s also strange that when you click accept on one name, you can change the drop-down list of names to people you didn’t just click accept to.

I have the same problem, I can’t accept any fixers offering suspicion or scandal fixes as well as calling cards. Ironically, I have a backlog of requests on my main but none on my alt. Hopefully the issue will be fixed before the election’s end.

EDIT: On a sidenote, with the halfway point coming up soon, I wonder if the team switches like last year will be of notable impact. In the prior election, favor leaned with Jenny, so any switches to the Bishop or the Contrarian could only do so much for the other candidates. With this election being more even, it leaves the possibility for any revelations in our investigations or changes of heart from the voters to have more weight. I’ve still got tea leaves on the backburner in case the coffee goes bad, but ideally it won’t come to that. Still, I’d like to see what everyone does when the time comes.

In order to accept such a pending offer from a Fixer, that Fixer needs to have no &quotFixing Suspicions&quot with anyone.

So if someone else has already accepted such an offer from that same Fixer, the Fixer must clear that person’s Suspicion first before being eligible for you again.

Does Anyone know the stats on the Voting Booth?

There is a great deal of overleaning rhetoric on all sides here, as is the case with any event founded on politicking. However, for ones such as I, the choice is relatively straightforward. The true measure of a person is something that can be gotten in exceedingly few ways: uniting in causes of charity, matching wits, accompaniment on travels about the world. Methinks that the truest and most advantageous position by which to know another creature is when you have both locked martial forces and looked each other in the eye whilst stabbing your opponent. I have stabbed Feducci and, in turn, been stabbed - admittedly, the former occurrence employed a flamberge with aspirations, and the latter involved my ribcage being invaded by a whetted lance. All other things being unequal, and there being many reasons to unrealistically pin one’s entire hope of an annum of change for the better on a single person, Feducci shall I support.

So if stabbing people gives you special insight into their natures…

what, pray, is the insight that you have gained? You seem to have skipped lightly past the meat of your point.

I have all the regrets.

Welp, guess that’s another thing to add to the list of things I’ll want from Time The Healer once I finish making my Bribe Against Time.
Right alongside another chance at The Story Of Painted Secrets.

An interesting point! As it stands, several things:

First and foremost, our beloved Tomb-Colonist candidate is a considerable hand in a confrontation and favours exceedingly effective methods; this would suggest the odds being in his corner that all of his proposed improvements to the great city of London come to pass.

Second, considering the amount of time required to bring a horse and lance into a duel setting, Feducci prepares carefully and with a madman’s degree of anticipatory forethought; the horse, in hindsight, may have been overkill.

Third, he can very neatly skewer a man with a lance from horseback. Any single combat in the name of preserving honour or making a point or other unnamed reason seems more likely to fall on the side of a person with such skills.

I will definitely agree that if I had to pick a candidate to beat up somebody else on my behalf, it’d be Feducci.

Pretty sure that’s something everyone can agree on, whether or not they want him for mayor.

I’d rather go for the Bishop of Southwark, that man could wrestle Mt. Nomad and come out on top.

My thoughts precisely, dear Infinity Simulacrum! Thus my previous vote casting for our dear Bishop. Though it may have had something to do with an uncertainty about the good mayor Jenny’s intentions and the… mental soundness of a certain pleasant and Jovial so-and-so.

I’d just like to say the Contrarian is far more sane than most.

A pity he can’t keep his contacts in better order, though…

That is the kind of thing that would encourage bot grinding on a massive scale.

I say this precisely because I know that if this was possible, I would have bot ground myself an Overgoat long since.

I don’t think hard-to-grind items are what was meant, but rather rare unobtainable ones where, if everyone currently owning one went north, they would be literally lost forever as an item that exists.

Going NORTH is all about paying prices that can never be refunded.

It feels kinda awesome ^_^ Yay temperance![/quote]

Compleatly unrelated topic;[/quote]
If it’s completely unrelated, then it probably doesn’t belong in the election thread. This isn’t a thread where we discuss changes to regular game mechanics. It’s a thread were we talk about election mechanics and content.

Sorry, I was half awake and too lazy to just make a thread.
I’ll just remove that now.

For something more on topic; is tomorrow the day when the investigating campaigns, flashlays, and the like change their text?
Because I only actually found out the election started yesterday, and I want to get everything documented in a nice organized manner.

I think the Dauntless Temperance Campaigner’s campaign’s google doc has all the info about all the candidates neatly documented, if you’re willing to scroll past the bits about campaign organisation and the like.

I know, but I want to try and get all the storylets down on my mantelpiece, I can’t do that if a good number of them are altered tomorrow.
