Success

An eager crowd

You have to do most of the work, of course – ginning up resentment against his predecessor, and making his name better known. But you know what you're about.

• Persuasive is increasing…
•  A former lackey of Mr Fires, now loyal to your good self, leads the Tracklayers' Union. (Sets Leader of the Tracklayers to 4 - Lackey of Yours, Formerly Aligned with Mr Fires)
•  An occurrence! Your 'Hinterland City - Recent News' Quality is now 1 - Recent election!
•  You've lost (10 - The City Waning) x Much-Needed Gap (1 at minimum)
•  You've lost (5 x Habituated to the Hinterland) x Hinterland Scrip
•  An occurrence! Your 'Hinterland City - Foundation' Quality is now Hinterland City - Founding Body + Hinterland City - Official Alignment + Leader of the Tracklayers!
•  An occurrence! Your 'Hinterland City - Initial Alignment' Quality is now [unchanged]!

Failure

A failure of public relations

You try to manipulate the gossip and stir public opinion, but it eludes you this time. They know all too well what you're up to, and why, and they won't have it.

• Persuasive is increasing…
•  An occurrence! Your 'Hinterland City - Recent News' Quality is now 2 - Recent election failed!
•  Tracklayers' Displeasure is increasing… (+3 CP)
•  An occurrence! Your 'Hinterland City - Foundation' Quality is now Hinterland City - Founding Body + Hinterland City - Official Alignment + Leader of the Tracklayers!
•  An occurrence! Your 'Hinterland City - Initial Alignment' Quality is now [unchanged]!
