Ooh I didn’t quite have confirmation of this before.
may I ask who made the deal for the Third City? I know Mr Eaten is all tied up in that apparently but I have no idea who actually made the deal.
Edit: uhhh why is spoiler tags not working edited by Calliope Rannis on 8/9/2019 edited by Calliope Rannis on 8/9/2019 edited by Calliope Rannis on 8/9/2019 edited by Calliope Rannis on 8/9/2019 edited by Calliope Rannis on 8/10/2019

The offending post was caused by what I believe was a word prediction algorithm gone horribly, horribly, awry. I hereby disavow any and all of its contents. I’m pretty sure that I’m going to need a really, really, good tech guy to sort that out. Or an exorcist.[li][/li][li] edited by thefantodayhtml on 8/9/2019[/li][li] edited by thefantodayhtml on 8/9/2019
I’m rusty on my lore, but I think (think) that the God Eaters, which basically amounts to a set of priest-kings from the Third City, traded their city for immortality. They got that immortality by eating the flesh of a ‘god’, AKA Mr Eaten, AKA a Master of the Bazaar the other Masters betrayed for being too attached to the second city. In a manner of speaking, I guess; there were wells somewhere in the whole eating/dying process, probably. ;)
As for the reason your spoiler tags aren’t working, it’s because the part of the message where you quoted me also had a spoiler tag and for some reason there’s a limit of one spoiler tag per post.

Not really immortality (they have different way to it). Power.

The Gracious Widow is from the fourth city. The Duchess is from the second. The Manager is from the first. If I recall correctly, all three were also the ones who made the deals that caused their respective cities to fall. [/quote]
And Feducci from the third. Why not?

I was wondering if it was something like that, deleted your quote spoiler now it’s conveyed the info it needed to. And thanks for the answer, it certainly seems to make sense with what I saw in a Kingdom for a Pig.
What you mean?[/quote]
Feducci already ran (and won).[/quote]
And blew the mayoral residence up at the end of his term, hence the ‘burned it to ashes’ part.[/quote]
I not talk about Feducci as fourth candidate, he was just example of mayor from older cities.

Now that I’ve seen my most desired candidate, Mrs Plenty, run for mayor, I hope to see my second most desired in 1898 … a Tiger! "I have a Lord Mayorship. Do you have a Lord Mayorship?" edited by Lady Sapho Byron on 8/12/2019
I’m surprised that in this entire thread no one has mentioned Lyme! He’s a Clay Man sure, but he’s learned his letters, he knows how to use a spoon, and he has begun to ask dangerous questions about the power structure in the Bazaar and London, and may have some desire to rock the boat without capsizing it like the revolutionaries want to.
Really, he just checks all the Mayoral requirements for me. I bet Virginia doesn’t even use a spoon.

I did suggest Lyme last year, but I really do think that Sister Lydia is the only one I particularly wish to advance as a candidate this year. She’s just too perfect a candidate after a year with a devil as mayor.
