So, after some criticism of the electoral system, I decided to hold a final round with Mr Eaten and NiteBrite, who were first and second rating (in different order) in both the first and second round. Vote here! I would encourage the candidates to bribe us with rat, but that would put Eaten as a disadvantage since it is apparently not an active player, so I encourage you not to bribe us with rats. Anything else is fair game.

Maybe if I vote for Mr Eaten I can escape this terrible fate.

Come on, people. NiteBrite is nice and all but they'd just get distracted by something shiny within an hour and leave the Londoners to their own devices. Eaten has vision*.

Okay, truth time: I am actually quite flattered that I can somehow lead in votes in a straight up popularity contest with Mr Eaten. You lot are awesome. OuO

Just think: NiteBrite as mayor would mean things getting DONE. Mr Eaten has been mostly-dead since the Third City and not once has someone even gotten all seven candles. All we'd be likely to get from him is bad dreams - with NiteBrite in charge, we'd finally have important matters ADDRESSED. Like whether Heptagoats like Hesperidian Cider.
Besides, if we could look at Mr Eaten's quality list right now I bet he wouldn't even have SMEN 1. What a lame poser. Support #SeekingNiteBritesName 1894!

Yes, I'd say Eaten definitely has a vision but it's not down to earth one bit. The entire Bazaar being crushed to pieces and everyone within dying a bloody violent death is a laudable goal, but is it really practical?Feasible, even? Has Eaten ever actively accomplished one of its goals?
NiteBrite, on the other hand, has shown to us all that she can bring about even the most absurdly impossible of goals. She has the right mix of insane determination and utter disregard for what is and isn't humanly possible. She can change Fallen London, maybe even for the better. I believe in NiteBrite.

Two candidate systems are inherently flawed, so i'd like to propose a compromise candidate to sweeten the pot. We will have Nitebrite give the other candidate some haberdashery and general etiquette lessons and then he can run as Mr Neaten.

Hey, he's got nothing on NiteBrite. She was completely permanently dead once! (She got better.)

Clearly the next step is to get NiteBrite to 777 votes.

I don't know, personally, I think voting for someone dedicated enough to sell Cider for a chance of a Heptagoat would make for a good mayor. Certanly a interesting one. That's some dedication to insanity. Plus, there's a very real risk that as a seeker she'll just make Eaten mayor anyway in exchance for The Name so voting for her results in both.

Mr Eaten. A candidate, but not a wise one. (Naturally I must vote for him. If he turns out terrible we won't need to get rid of him because somebody already did it)

I agree that Mr. Eaten has vision. But not, I think, a vision that is compatible with the long-term survival of the human race. NiteBrite, on the other hand, has displayed both compassion for other human beings, and a toughness to survive some of the toughest challenges Fallen London affords. I agree with absimiliard: NiteBrite is the easy choice, as well as the wisest one.

I'm pretty sure she's hoping to get to wander London with a rat .. . . but I don't know if that's strictly a "campaign promise" per se.

Will the rat come with a name, or will Nitebrite get to do the honors? And will she have to give up hers in favor of a Relicker title? Perhaps "The Merciless Relicker"?

Well yes, but as far as i can tell 'evil' = competent. Being the first to own a heptagoat and, IIRC, the cider of eternal life > dying painfully in a well.

I'm just wondering what Nitebrite's campaign promises are. I know I made a few rather bold ones, but I only got the one other vote. I guess people don't want a invasion of the Elder Continent in the persuit of immortality.

But..but...Mr. Eaten NEEDS the title! Mr. Eaten NEEDS the attention, the help. He is alone in a tomb far to the north, gathering spite over those who betrayed him and calling out to anyone who would listen.
If we elect him mayor, we can make him come back. He can punish the masters' for their wrongdoings...but we can also teach him of compassion and forgiveness, teach him of leting go of vengeance and seek only justice for the masters' dark deeds.
Is that not reason enough to vote for him?
