{{Mr Chimes' Grand Clearing-Out}}

Mr Chimes' Grand Clearing-Out is a one-off event succeeding Elections.

5 dig sites have opened in Fallen London. These have to be fully sponsored and excavated, by buying scrip with Fate, Offering food to the diggers and digging.

* ''See [[Mr Chimes' Grand Clearing-Out (historical)]] for a day-to-day recap of the event''

= Overview =
Across London 5 new dig sites have appeared. In order to complete this both the digging and fuelling qualities for that dig site, which are shared globally, need to hit 1 million, and the {{FontFate}} part needs to be fully funded. Once all these three are completed the dig site will be excavated, players will be unable to dig/fuel further, and a new repeatable activity will be added.

== Digging ==
The most basic way to contribute is to [[Help with the digging]], which raises {{IL|Digging beneath (location name)}} (quality dependent on which dig the player is at), by 5 x, and contributes to reaching 1 million {{IL|Digging beneath (location name)}} for that location. Every time [[Help with the digging]] is played it will redirect the player to [[A Find Beneath the Streets]], where either economy item(s) or, with the right values, an equipment item can be found (see [[#Unique Rewards]] for more information).

== Fuelling ==
Alternatively, several food items ({{IL|Crate of Incorruptible Biscuits}}, {{IL|Basket of Rubbery Pies}}, {{IL|Jasmine Leaves}} and {{IL|Hand-picked Peppercaps}}) can be spent to increase {{IL|Feeding the Workers at (location name)}} by 20 x per food item. Feeding the workers redirects to [[The Opening of a Chamber]], where players can claim a different economy reward, however the unique item rewards are the same.

A Ubiquitous card, [[An Upturned Cart]], also provides various options that significantly increase fueling at a chosen digsite.

Now that one of the digsites has been completed, new fueling options have been revealed which increase {{IL|Feeding the Workers at (location name)}} by 80; only two are unlocked currently, but more will be unlocked as more digsites are completed, and it seems they will grow more effective as they are completed as well.

== Sponsoring ==
Players could buy {{IL|Chthonic Scrip}} for {{FontFate}} at the digsites, which helped Fund the dig sites, however this goal was completed within an hour of the event starting.

== Progress ==
{{#lst:Template:Clearing-Out Progress|Digging}}

= Rewards =
Every action spent digging will allow a reward to be claimed from [[A Find Beneath the Streets]] for another action. Every action spent fuelling will allow a reward to be claimed from [[The Opening of a Chamber]]. With the exact right number of Digging/Fuelling one of the following items can be claimed. This progress is dependent on your attributes, according to Bruno.<ref>https://discord.com/channels/606151996663267338/727175679514509446/867398968593612810 and https://discord.com/channels/606151996663267338/727175679514509446/867399095966498877</ref>

Additionally, {{IL|Chthonic Scrip}} can be spent for a variety of rewards. 30 can be gained initially for a cost of {{IL|Shard of Glim|200 x}}, further scrip must be gained from spending fate (1:1 ratio) or from exchanging {{IL|A Free Gift}} from previous elections.

==Rewards when digging or fuelling==
===Unique Rewards===
While you can get these from either source, it's suggested to gain them while digging, as that is cheaper.

!Description from [[Look into these tunnels]]
|-
|{{IL|Spite}}
|{{IL|Polythremean Peacoat}}
|[[Assist an Unfinished Man|Underclay]] [[Underclay (Guide)|(Guide)]]
|The tunnels here have delved deep into the Earth, and they have uncovered remnants of a previous Falling City: Stone blocks and clay bricks of unfamiliar make; the odd fragment of a stone tablet or potsherd.
|-
|{{IL|The University}}
|{{IL|Honey-Stained Shackles}}
|[[Hunt Bees in Old Newgate|Old Newgate]] [[Hunting Bees in Old Newgate (Guide)|(Guide)]]
|Numerous iron chains and manacles […] leading a Benthic professor to theorize that these are the remains of the HMS Ungulate […] He hasn't proposed a theory for how the ship got buried […] Nor does his hypothesis account for the constant buzzing […]
|-
|{{IL|The Blind Helmsman}}
|{{IL|Horseless, Driverless, Remorseless Carriage}}
|[["Welcome to L.B. Industries!"|L.B. Industries]] [[L. B. Industries (Guide)|(Guide)]]
|The tunnels here are filled with a noise of machinery. The bulk of excavated items seem to originate in London – whatever is buried here must have sunk into the Earth with the Fall, if not more recently.
|-
|{{IL|The Singing Mandrake}}
|{{IL|Elevating Silk Slippers}}
|[[Sides in a Debate|Spider Symposium]] [[The Spider Symposium (Guide)|(Guide)]]
|The tunnels beneath the Singing Mandrake have yielded relatively few artefacts of note. But they do have a recurring problem with cobwebs, and more than one digging Londoner has reported a chittering noise from below.
|-
|{{IL|Moloch Street}}
|{{IL|Strangling Willow Ring}}
|[[Seeking Documents in the Sunken Embassy|The Sunken Embassy]] [[The Sunken Embassy (Guide)|(Guide)]]
|A ring of brass the colour of mahogany was recovered early on in the digging. Papers and files are commonly found, too, though they are often too damaged to read. And it's hard to ignore that the tunnels have the faintest scent of brimstone.
