[b][i]Oh boy more polls yay we all love these things right boys and girls
[/i][/b]Okay, so this is probably a pipe dream, but talk of a coalition between the Dauntless Temperance Campaigner and the Implacable Detective is afoot. Mostly it’s been a few suggesting that one side fold into the other in order to beat Feducci, and no one’s gaining much traction there. My thinking is that an unofficial coalition will never, ever work. The solution?
Well, the only way I can see it happening is if Failbetter dramatically breaks from the usual election formula and has the two candidates join together within the actual game, combining platforms to make this a more interesting election. It does make some sense: their platforms are not mutually exclusive, and the two candidates have different areas of focus. If they combine the resources of their backers, they may actually be able to achieve a good amount of both parties’ goals. Imagine rooting out corruption in the Constabulary while also ensuring the poor and outcast have less reason to turn to crime. If that doesn’t appeal to you, imagine what might happen if the two ever disagree… juicy drama could await!
I don’t know how FB has set up outlines and plans for the end of the election so far, so I realize this may be asking quite a bit of them, and I by no means expect it to happen. I just want to gauge the general community interest in such an abrupt change in the election’s proceedings. Perhaps if it’s a popular idea, FB will consider it, but if it’s just not in the cards, I’m not going to complain.
…Okay, yes I will, because complaining is what I do, but it won’t be heartfelt.
