Might be just differing levels of political distaste then?

Well, I started this because I do not feel comfortable with any of the candidates as they are. In terms of corruption, each candidate has quite an amount of fixers on their side, and those are basically part-time blackmailers.

This pretty much sums it up for me. I''ve gone though supporting all three and with the new revelations of each I decided "screw it if I can sell my soul why not my votes too?" Heck, I WOULD have switched to Contrarian simply because I keep switching, but then Feburary took over and i went **** that.

A interesting offer and the best part is I would not even have to do anything! XD
48 hours for anyone interested in making a better offer.

Say, Passionario, can I have a Starveling Cat for *not* switching my 20 ranks in Campaigning from Jenny? I expect there's no harm asking...

Only part-time because in addition to blackmail some good old-fashioned bribery and the occasional protection-racket are required as well. Oh, and, just occasionally -- very rarely -- one needs to stand near and be seen to desperately reach for a previously-loyal acquaintance as they accidentally tumble off a bridge . . . . six or seven times.
There's ever so much more to fix than just blackmail....

Ah, I can't compete with that 
That said, *I* personally think vote buying using the very very very limited means of player-to-player transfer in the game is a hilarious concept, which is why I'm indulging in it.

Only half an hour remains until the end of the first bidding. If anyone can defeat Passionario's 2 Packages and 1 Coins, make sure to do it now. As only 30 minutes remain.

As someone said, bribing players to your candidate's side is a hillarious and awesome idea, and should totaly be a part of next year's festivities.
...Although I'm not sure how it would work in game. The point is somewhat to offer a interesting price but you can't really do that with a option to give limited options.

The 18 hours originally set by me have passed. Passionario has my vote until the end of this election.

Thank you, Hark DeGaul.
Your cats are so splendiferous starveling, no sane townsman could consider declining them. Indeed they are so marvelously wonderfully satisfiable, I feel impelled to send you some coins as a token of my sincere appreciation.
Parelle, excellent poem. Sorry, only almost enough to bribe an incorruptible individual like myself, but I am humbled by your deeds on my behalf.
So I will send you a bag of coins too. It's the least I can do.

Excellent! You're making the right choice, or at least a profitable choice. In the end there isn't much difference.

Most kind, most kind. My pen is at your service; my vote is for the Contrarian.

Just a reminder regarding my vote with 26 hours left: I have 13 right now, and while it LOOKS like Passionario's offer cannot be beaten due to the fate gift, I would hate for people to feel that leaves them out the running. If you make a more interesting offer it can be so. It does not neccicarily have to be bigger. It DOES however have to grasp my interest more. Which will still be hard considering the offer Passionario makes itself is a interesting one.
