John: Here is the answer to the First Poll from where I posted it in my Journal. I have not yet seen the Second Poll either.

When you journal the poll results, it updates with each new poll.
I would love to participate in this election, as I have done in previous ones, yet it has been a while since I’ve visited Fallen London and I cannot seem to remember how to choose an electoral career. For the past couple of days I have searched everywhere for such an opportunity. Every time I open the Election storylet I can only read some snippets about the three candidates and "ONWARD" brings me back to the previous page of choices. Is my Watchful quality betraying me? Who can give me a hint?
There’s no The Mayoral Election 1897 storylet framed in silver?
There is, but my options are to read a bit about the candidates, to learn about the election (both of which bring me back to the previous page) and to read the dailies. The other two options are only for players with FATE to buy stuff with. That was it.

Nope. Can’t see him anywhere. Was getting quite frustrated, I must say. I guess I have to contact the admins, if this really isn’t my fault for failing to notice the card. It just seems it isn’t there…
That sounds like a bug. I’d recommend emailing Support.

[quote=elderfleur][quote=Severinus]Maybe it’s a stupid question but are the opportunity cards for the candidates supposed to be this rare? Or is something wrong. […] [/quote] Mrs Plenty’s card occurs with Standard Frequency with only one condition (A Participant in the 1897 Election), the combination making it (and presumably the other two Candidate Cards) passably uncommon. If you’ve only seen one card once you’re definitely unlucky, but not outside the realm of possibility. I’ve seen each card a few times, but am similarly swamped in Reputation and unable to ask a few more questions.
A pleasant addition to the Election would be an option where one could cash in a few Reputation to force-draw a Candidate Card. It feels thematically reasonable, and even as low as 2 Reputation makes it unprofitable (and I’d probably toss away 5 Reputation a few times to get the last bits of gossip).[/quote]
You’d think they would have learned after last year that it’s best to raise the frequency of these things. I’m probably going to just give up and look at the Google doc.
Is there a google dock for that? Because i cashed in all my reputation for making waves and then built it up to 23 again without getting a candidate card once. It’s starting to become ridiculous.
Same here. I must have gotten Soshana three times, the other ones once each. To see all the content (and make a choice on Monday) you have to draw the cards 18 times, which is nowhere near what we get. Same problem as last year, too.
[quote=Severinus]Is there a google dock for that?[/quote]There is (over here!), but I only update it as I play the options. Here you can also find last year’s candidates information.
As Daedalus, if I find it impossible, I end up asking the community for things I miss. Here’s also a reddit post with the missing info if you’re interested.
Thank you! These candidate cards continue to be infuriating.
I gave up on waiting to draw the cards and took a look at the links.
I must say, what they reveal makes the election much more interesting. Virginia’s affiliations and her plans/tone were the biggest surprise. And Shoshana has an answer for ‘what can she possibly do to stop the next Fall.’ It is a pity for most players to lose those because of the RNG.

And not just after last year’s election, but even after the bug in question was explicitly pointed out and demonstrated, empirically proving that frequency ratings don’t properly correspond to actual draw rate.

I have to say I am bloody loving the writing this election. The candidates have such clear voices, and I love the perspective they offer on how they see the more preposterous elements of Fallen London life.
re: frequency
I personally noted a definite rise in candidates cards frequency yesterday. Sad to hear that’s not true for everyone! :(
I’ve gotten Shoshana maybe five times and Plenty four, give or take. Precisely zero Virginia sightings so far. Why does it have to be my candidate of choice that’s ducking me?
Also, there hasn’t been a third poll question yet, has there?
To be honest I don’t find any candidates very appealing as in terms of worthy of having my support. Virginia is a devil that pretty much are universally evil, Mrs plenty I don’t even recall her character and meeting her, either I forgot or I didn’t but I don’t get good vibe form her and Soshana as far didn’t demonstrate anything of substance regarding disaster, nor I have any evidence her visions are reliable. I will probably sit those elections out, it’s not like mayor changes anything, beside perhaps few extra pieces of dialogue, I’ve sided with contrarian last election and he didn’t really seem to achieve anything of importance and from what I know same is true for other candidates. So elections are only fun if you’re interested in extra piece of lore and some reward.

Referenda by Opine
-:- Well, i AM most fond of carny queen Shoshana, as a collaborative Muse, in some of my schemes - a subtle and very well-informed "theraputic counsellor" to all and sundry - if used to one-on-one conferrences more than public speaking.
-:- Mr.s Plenty blithely mentions wanting a hand-picked Constabulary as her own Neddies - sounds foreboding - also, her automated ticket-dispenser foretells more automation taking place of paid wages - a worse prospect than any enslaved Claymen’s effect on jobs – ((mind, Free Clays do not "scab" - Unionize Docks WITH the Free Clays, i say!))
-:- Virgina may be being diabolicly truthful, but is likely thus planning mass eugenics, with her "fitness salon" - to improve average health by eliminating the most [or least?] vulnerable - Tsk.
-:- Vote Enlightenment, say i -:- Wisdom and Insight will avail - no matter how shy the leader on the stage of election - Shoshana KNOWS Secrets - AND People, like few others can – She is supported by the fretful AND the bold, as i know well. -:- Vote Madame Shoshana, "the Shy Sphinx" - And never be riddled by doubt again! . . .
Thank you for this brief soapbox, fellow citizens. Most Honoured.

Despite my frustrations with the candidate cards i must admit that the election is useful for my notability, i have gone from 0 to 3 in the days since the election started.
So that’s nice.
