"The Detective claimed nearly half of all max contributors" this is probably my favourite part of the stats because, lore-wise, it "clicks" so well. Those guys really did roll up their sleeves and try to make a city that works, as per Detective's words.

I must commend the no nonsense and hard working supporters of the Implacable Detective. While both myself and Feducci supporters and the supporters of thd Dauntless Temperance campaigner were going at each other on the forums and in game you all buckled down and kept at it. Good job Implacable Detective supporters.

Detective supporters mostly focused on the prize and we worked hard. But I must say that Campaigner supporters were showing their presence much more firmly. At least that is what I saw. I got some invitations from them as the election continued.

51% of players choosing Fixer really explains the unending barrage of menace reduction offers. It was like having a medic for every soldier.

I think the Agitator stats are interesting. It confirms my impression that maxing out that career path was the most difficult.

Sorry RL means I am not a very active player at the moment. No social actions unless you are prepared to wait and definitely no sparring or other mult-action things.
No Calling Cards or boxed cats please. Will take dupes on the affluent photographers. Other social invitations welcome. Parabolan Kittens usually available, send me an in-game social action saying you want one and I will get one to you as soon as possible.

Yes, those Detective supporters were quite efficient, though the broader support by many more less invested Feducci supporters proved that "quantity is also a quality".

I think mechanics also played a role in this choice. When you're a Fixer, you directly help other players. Gives you this nice warm feeling and all. As a Campaigner, however, you harp at them for money, which is neutral because they can simply refuse, but as an Agitator you straight up harass other players. Which might be considered inconvenient.

Interesting ... Feducci significantly underperformed amongst Max:Total Contributors and Max:Social Action Contributors vis-à-vis his vote total. I interpret this to indicate he had particularly strong support among casual players whereas the DTC and Detective did better with FL-obssessed, forum-reading, Neath junkies (although plenty of these also liked Feducci).
On another point, I do wish FBG would give us raw numbers for election participants and vote points ... although I suppose this data may be proprietary.

Well, I didn't mean strictly interesting, but like. My favourite. Aesthetically pleasing, so to speak. this and feducci having the most Agitators because of course he would. Which stat was your favourite/you find most interesting?

So, yes, the supporters of the DTC were correct that most defectors went to their camp- Though I had not expected that they were still the one furthest behind though.

While I do think it would be preferable not to explicitly confirm who is in the lead, I think it's unfair to say that it is just a marker of the inevitable. We only have two elections so far, and this time 10% switched their vote. That is almost three times as many as last time. If that is further increased next time it might make a significant difference, especially if the candidates starts out more equal.

Which just goes to show that players who post / vote on the forum make up such a tiny fraction of the overall playerbase that using it to base any ideas about how the election is going will be entirely futile.

I don't see how anything could have cost him a majority which he didn't have: "During the second week, Feducci’s lead waned by 4%." 45 + 4 = 49% - no majority there. And I don't think more people would've switched to Feducci than from Feducci, if you're implying that the Honey Well prevented him from gaining a majority that he didn't start out with for the second week.

Immediately imagined Sgt. Zim's "MEDIC!"
Any ideas, why did people choose Fixer's campaign in such vast amounts?
Is it truly in their heart to mend, help and heal?
I mean, it was pretty obvious that from technical aspect most rewarding and effective career is self-sustainable Campaigners, whilst Fixers require Agitators, and the latter obviously would not be popular.
The Neath is truly full of mysteries. And I'm so glad it goes beyond storylets!

with an oversupply of Fixers you have to actively get into trouble if you want to be a team player and help them. In my case, this meant drinkings lots and lots of absinthe.
No need to actively get into trouble. You can keep your menaces sufficiently high with just gear to be eligible for help offers from Fixers.
Anne Auclair wrote:
It might be a good idea to give Fixers a new main activity and make fixing things for players more passive. By which I mean, if you get in trouble and need a Fixer, you ask a Fixer for help, rather than the Fixers asking if they can help you. Making Fixers a passive profession will severly block many from finding a way to advance their election career. Active options are more engaging in a game than passive ones.

The incredibly unscientific poll in the 'How Much Did You Contribute to Your Candidate' thread produced these results:
Feducci: 479 votes from 12 characters (25.7%)
Detective: 601 votes from 14 characters (32.3%)
DTC: 781 votes from 19 characters (42.0%)
Characters are used instead of players, since a number of players contributed from more than one character, sometimes splitting candidates.

Taking into account all the forum-wide word-war by the Temperance Campaign, it makes an unbelievable amount of sense that the Dauntless Temperance Campaigner proportionally had the most Campaigner supporters.
Or that Feducci had the most Agitators, that wasn't exactly surprising either.

Dang, this is why percent points annoy me. Either it dropped from 49% to 45% , which is 4 percent points,
or the 45% is equal to 96% of Feducci's votes prior to the second week, which would mean he had 46,875% of the votes. Not explicitly using percent points leaves it so ambiguous, though in this case it's probably 49% to 45%.
Failbetter's experimenting with social actions right now, what with the Sanguine Ribbons. If they end up making agitating both engaging and enjoyable for next year, I'd be much obliged to try that career path on next time. Let's hope it does.

I think a lot of people find it more glamorous than the other careers. Like, with Campaigners and Agitators, you're out on the street, doing straightforward work. But with Fixers, you're behind the scenes, pulling the strings. You feel less like a worker, more like a boss, and who doesn't like feeling in charge?

Our efforts began in the first week and likely played a role in him getting just under 50% at the start of the second week, then in the second week we killed his chances of a majority. From what I observed, switching from Feducci to the Campaigner didn't start in the second week, it began late in the first week and got a second week surge. In the second week, that 4% shifted halfway through, so when they switched they weren't giving him as many votes as they would ultimately have delivered to him on election day. Switching without fate hurts the candidate you're defecting from more than it helps the candidate you're defecting to.

I'd be interested in finding out how the statistics changed between the mid point and the final result.
On a macro level the final results in both elections mirrored the midpoint polls. It's sort of a shame that the second half of the election is just a slouch to its inevitable conclusion.

This was actually the least interesting statistic for me.
There are so few players who have Notability 15 anyway, so I have to assume that the "max contributors" is a small subset of players which is very much unrepresentative of the playerbase.
