[quote=Thomas K. Slaughter]I sold my soul before, you know? And it was hardly a profitable deal! How dare they measure my soul’s worth at a mere twelve echoes?! What they must think of me![/quote]I think this is a matter for introspection, rather than directing the blame outward. I’ve never let mine go for less than three hundred.
I still have the dilemma with the Fourth Poll of Mr. Huffam thou.
When they ask " Who would you send beyond the Avid Horizon?" do they mean it as with malicious content to never see them again and probably suffer a terrifying death, OR to trust them to perform such a crucial journey that could prove incredibly important for London’s future?
I know that if I were to be sent beyond those icy gates at this time it would be both an honorable opportunity and a nightmare for me, all before I even reach it. Can someone please explain the true meaning of the poll?
It can be both or either. It means whatever it means to you.
I intepreted it as who would you kill, though I am guessing it was supposed to hint at Ms Plenty’s eventual fate.
I interpreted it as who to send to explore at first, but the pollster gave a rather nasty reaction when I answered Virginia. I know the pollsters have been pushing for Plenty and against Virginia, but this poll in particular left a bitter taste since the vagueness made it feel kind of deceitful. Or maybe I’m just bad at reading. If I knew I was choosing to send someone to their death, I would’ve abstained from answering.
The RNG is a funny old thing. I’ve only seen Plenty and Shoshana’s cards once since I picked a side, but I’ve seen Virginia’s like ten!
I fear we may be facing Virginia’s victory in the elections soon enough. Bah! No matter, I might as well just try to prepare for it somehow and see how it can benefit me. Maybe… Maybe I could curry favour with the Church by pretending to oppose her. Though, I’ve been doing such for the entire election, I might as well just make friends with the devils to see what deals I can muster.
After all, it’s not like I have to worry about my soul anymore, right?
You’ve completely broken the spoilers and the formatting in several ways there, thefantodayhtml… and also if that’s your topic, it probably belongs in the candidate thread, for god’s sake.
Just FYI my spreadsheet of the election options is complete up to the end of the first week but I’ve only got the Shoshana choices for week two. If anyone has the journal entries for the other candidates I’d appreciate them :)
RL has been (unfairly) competing for my time so please let me know if there’s anything I’ve missed.

Oh, this is awesome. Thanks for doing this!
Quick question - are there any election items this year that are best in slot? I have a stack of fate and wondering whether to get myself a treat or two.
[quote=navchaa]Quick question - are there any election items this year that are best in slot? I have a stack of fate and wondering whether to get myself a treat or two.[/quote]Here are the stats on the items:
Virginia: Devilbone Talons (+8 Watchful, +1 Respectable)
Shoshana: The Neathy Tarot, Featuring all 77 of the Major Arcana (+8 Shadowy, +1 Dreaded)
Plenty: Mrs Plenty’s Genuine Rubbery Lumps (+8 Persuasive, +1 Bizarre)
Virginia’s and Plenty’s are both tied for best in slot with items available in the Bazaar (Insatiable Gloves / Magnificent Diamond Ring). What is worth noting is that Virginia’s is currently the only existing Respectable Glove, while Shoshana’s is tied with the Hand of Glory (30 Fate at the Feast of the Exceptional Rose) for Dreaded.
Not sure where to put this, but now that I’ve played all three candidates’ 12 Fate options, I noticed that while Virginia’s and Mrs Plenty’s cost 5 Reputation, Madame Shoshana’s actually gave me an additional 5 Reputation when I played it. Whether that’s a bug or an intended bribe on Shoshana’s part, I do not know ;)
Probably a bug, but for purely rp reasons, I will attribute it to her extensive Society connections!
I’ve only seen a Fate option on Ms. Plenty’s card. Where are the others?
In the first week, only Mrs Plenty’s was visible - maybe as a teaser or something, I don’t know. But since Monday, you should see a Fate option on all three candidates’ cards.
Mind, you can only play the one for the candidate your character supports. But you should be able to see them all.
I’m still not seeing them. Looking at Virginia’s now and there’s no fate option.
Hm. Sounds like you should file a bug report. Though it being the weekend, it’s unlikely to be resolved before the Election ends on Monday… :/
:edit: I just drew Shoshana’s card on a Virginia-supporting account and could not see her Fate option, so apparently they’re not always visible… but they definitely exist ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Thanks, phryne. I’ve only been able to see Plenty’s fate option since the election began. So, before I chose a candidate. But you’re right, too late to fix for me. I have not been scrolling down on the candidates since I had played all options. If the fate choices are inconsistent, I may have missed them. I’ll keep a look out when drawing cards through the weekend to see.
Appreciate it!
