[quote=Frenjamin Banklin]would prefer if the mayoral candidates were just a bit more evenly matched, the princess mayor seems like a forgone conclusion at this point.
I don;t mind the portraits at all, although they are a rather marked deviation from the regular FL style. edited by Frenjamin Banklin on 6/18/2018[/quote]
Yeah; people in this game will ALWAYS favour the outrageous / meme candidate - god knows I certainly will, do, and shall. It’s why Sinning Jenny and Feducci won, and why the Princess has this in the bag.
Of course, she has my vote, because she got me back into Her Enduring Majesty’s court and I repay my debts.
Just for fun - and I promise this will be the last time you see me post on the topic ;) - me and my friend played around with the new Princess art to match her a bit closer to the original version.

Considering how things play out during The Gift, I’m really not on board with her talking about turning the city into something that would delight "the appetite." :|
I wouldn’t be so quick to judge, since many revolutionaries have the interests of London and her people at heart. Many even take up the cause because of perceived injustice and the harm that’s come to the city (however valid or accurate these reasons may be). And even with his revolutionary ties, the Contrarian is notorious for his dual stance on any matter. Last year, he took up a position for a free and democratic London, even risking to remain balanced by snubbing his influencial revolutionary contacts and attempting to find a revolution in which "the lights need not go out". This year, he’s calling for a more orderly London with respect to the law. How anti-revolutionary this movement is, I can’t be for certain, but I wouldn’t say anti-establishment goals are worse than selfish indulgence and harm of citizens.
I agree! Her new portrait is a bit different, but it’s still recognizable to me as the Princess and overall a lovely touch-up. I particularly liked how her complexion in this and the SS portraits bares the face of a young and vibrant socialite while almost seeming offputting due to how "perfect she seems". Still doesn’t mean I’ll vote for her; honestly, I’d toast a drink with her as soon as I’d shove her into the silent river. Also, while I could see where some are coming from with age consistency, I wouldn’t call her a teenager. She is youthful and healthy to an almost unnatural degree, and though I understand others’ want for accuracy, we have seen children in FL, and a child she is not.
I feel as if she’ll stab me if I don’t vote for her. edited by Seon on 6/18/2018[/quote]
I’m scared of this "art exhibition" she’s going to have. It’ll probably be like last time edited by Ixc on 6/19/2018 edited by Ixc on 6/19/2018
Well,she’ll get my vote for sure.
I would love a London with more stability and art,expecially without annoying journalists who dare to create chaos and scare fellow citizens (really don’t care about the monster thing,that’s all fake news from the revolutionaries). edited by Nagaretsu on 6/19/2018
Sigh. How much of the Princess’ lore is Fate-locked? I have played everything so far, but it occured to me that for most, she is just a spoiled, charming royal while for others… she is something else entirely.
That’s the point of an election campaign,selling dreams and lies to get the trust of the people,and I think she’s the best at It.[/quote]
In all fairness, she has some pretty stiff competition in that department though.
The Princesses’ new art is well done, but a little too Rococo for my tastes. But then I tend to like more abstracted styles. I loved the first year election posters, absolutely LOVED them. But I guess it makes more sense to use elections as an opportunity to present new reusable art, as opposed to creating specialized one time stuff. Oh well.
For those who prefer the older, more openly demonic images, just imagine that this blue eyed innocence is how the Princess (who is a shapechanging Neath monster btw) is painted in her official portraits.
