The Contrarian’s portrait reminds me of Boardwalk Empire’s Nucky Thompson.
does anyone know if I lose my Agitator of Renown status as well as the agitator career? The latter’s at 7 for Nikki but the former’s at 42 and I am loathe to give that up when I probably can’t get it back.
Gul, I am curious as to why you think souls affect one’s destination in terms of the Far Country. I’d also hazard the opinion that loss of soul has some effect, though how severe is perhaps debatable. Certainly you have an interesting interpretation of the matter. I’ve always been puzzled over just what part of a person does what in the FL canon, given that your body is left behind when you die, your soul might or might not be in a bottle/in Hell, and there’s still some part of you that goes on the Boat on the Slow River.
I am honestly heavily torn between Mr. Slowcakes and the Princess in whom to vote for, since while I do like where the Contrarian stands right now, he’ll change his mind in a week or so and become revolutionary again!
Or do you think the Contrarian can stand behind his current campaign until the next elections?
Now, how about the souls stained for the aim
On the quest of finding the name
Rejected by society, living with no fame
The destination, only thing to the mind it came
Hell retched, on the souls they’ll never claim

To be fair, the unholy lovechild of Dolores Umbridge and a mouldy pudding representing him is just his amanuensis. For all we know the actual Mr. Slowcake could be a young Adonis. Or a very incognito Master. The point being, it’s not his fault that his most notable notary happens to look like a Snuffer wearing too many human disguises on top of each other.

This election is going to be pure mayhem and chaos. A clash of literal monsters. How delightful.
On to other matters, I will admit that I miss the social aspects of each career. As it stands, all 3 of them appear to be functional the same thing, just different flavor text. I wonder why they removed them.

Slowcake doesn’t exist, he is a fictional character created by the bizarre and hell in order to identify the more valuable souls. I’d beseech you all, do not give the mayorship to the devils.
Fellow Londoners, I keep converting my reputation to career, and reputation remains intact. I stopped at 3 (figured it was a bug, did not want to break anything). Does anyone else have the same problem?
…and it kind of fixed itself, though at some point it was asking for a key…
The Key of Dreams is the dev lock they put on branches when they’re being changed, messed with or aren’t ready for release yet - seems like the fix has been implemented and progressing your career is now working as intended.
Is anyone going to implement the option from the Election storylet that uses 15 Fate to give another player 10 more Reputation?
So… Fudge man who works for demons, a dangerous revolutionary who want to make everything "free", a princess that is mostly likely a monster. All hail princess of Fallen London!
[quote=Siankan][quote=Kaijyuu]So our choices are a sockpuppet of hell, a literal monster, and the Contrarian.
Well, guess I’ll be Contrary this time.[/quote]
Basically. I never thought I’d be backing the Jovial Contrarian, but here we are.[/quote]
Is there a way to sabotage all 3 campaigns? Honestly, I think that’s what I would do in this situation.
So I know it’s common knowledge that Mr. Slowcake is just a front for the Devils, but can someone remind me when in-game we find that out? I can’t for the life of me remember.
Twice in a row now, I’ve traded in 1 Society Favor but only gotten 1 Reputation when the card says I should have gotten 2.
Coming from 100+ hours of Sunless Sea, and having started playing Fallen London for a little less than a month, I was looking forward to my first big event. The Election setting looks very nice, the idea of letting the players participate in the future of the city is neat and, even if I don’t know them too much, the candidates seem interesting.
When the event started I rushed to read the mechanics and was hoping to be able to participate quickly. My character wouldn’t care too much about politics and wouldn’t rally himself with anyone probably, but was looking forward to raise a buck using his muscle as an Agitator.
However, so far this event is bringing me nothing but disappointment and the reason is simple; I can’t seem to draw the ‘further your reputation’ card. I draw the individual candidates card all the time, but the one which actually lets you advance through the event is nowhere to be seen. I know this feels like jumping the gun as the event just recently started, but given that I play during all the day, checking FL frequently so the opportunity deck doesn’t get filled, I feel very strange my RNG is that bad. It doesn’t get better when I ask acquaintances in-game and they explain they are drawing the card all the time, or read some accounts in these forums that apparently have no problems raising their reputation. It gets even worse when you realize some people got Reputation handed for free due to a bug, not because of jealously, but because the presence of such bugs makes me question now whether there are other bugs impacting the capacity of players -like me- to draw the important card, or I am unlucky as always.
I really hope this is just temporary and my luck evens out during the week. If by the end of today I still didn’t draw a single ‘further your reputation’ card I will probably fill a bug report to see if I can have this looked at. Still, I don’t think leaving the outcome of such events to RNG is a wise decision. Certainly, if this happens to be an instance of bad RNG on my part, it will be no consolation at all, since being locked out of content in such an arbitrary manner is very frustrating.
Sorry for the long rant, but after getting hooked on the FL world by the outstanding quality of the lore and writing of both SS and FL (what I seen so far), was really looking forward to get more involved in the FL world.

I’ve drawn one candidate card and no reputation cards. But then my deck has always sucked.
One day, I might get an election-related card. One day.
